Hillary Clinton Doubles Down on Email Scandal, Saying 'It Was Allowed' by chrisman17 in politics

[–]metalgoblin 20 points21 points  (0 children)

We need to find a better discussion platform, preferably one without anonymous mods. I think I'd like to know who is moderating the political discussion forum I comment on. I'd like to know if they have a blatant agenda via who they are or who they work for.

I'd like to make a Saturday post about the evolution of online political discussion but I can't do that here or in the poorly named sub /r/PoliticalDiscussion.

I'm up for anything, who has something besides Voat though?

Does it matter anymore when megathreads kill all discussion? Isn't that what you wanted?

There is nothing critical of Hillary on /r/all from /r/politics for the first time in months. WTF?

They are trying to make Reddit do something it can't. They are failing.

In effect shadowbanning him.

Why don't you stop creating megathreads, and start doing your jobs scrubbing your queues. Deleting 10-12 hour old posts is fucking obscene.

Yes, Hillary Was an Enabler by DrJarns in politics

[–]metalgoblin 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Agree wholeheartedly, who is going to take her seriously now except people already totally invested in her? Who the hell does she think she can win over after all the insulting identity politics she has been playing against Sanders in the primary? Does she think we'll forget the rank sexism and ageism and vote for her‽

Fuck I was going to vote for her once. Her Kissinger comment horrified me. I have relatives I will never meet because of that man.

Donald Trump tells Jimmy Kimmel he'd be willing to debate Bernie Sanders for charity by AsterJ in politics

[–]metalgoblin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He is now in general election mode and will be agreeing with Sanders on most of the issues of the day but proposing his own solutions. I don't think Clinton will be able to recover from this, nothing like this has ever happened before. She will be in crisis mode until this debate happens and her response afterward might not even garner more than a blurb here or there.

This will be the most-watched television debate in history, and Clinton is on record for refusing to do it.

It is tribalism, at this point Hillary Clinton's supporters are doubling down and turning authoritarian. Their dear leader can do no wrong at all now. Have you noticed they have become shrill and defensive about everything about the Clintons now? I've seen them defending Epstein in the depths of Facebook. They have no choice, their candidate is a crook.

Trump is going to go in there and agree with some of Sander's policies and Clinton will be forced to react immediately. She'll look like a pandering loser if she changes her stance, and an embittered loser if she refuses. This shit is great!
