PRESIDENTIAL RACE 2016: Dehumanize yourself and face to polling
Posts
This happened like 8, maybe 10 blocks from my apartment. It's a weird situation for sure, I don't even know what to think happened at this point.
And I'm applying for a job in that PD too...
I don't see this thread lasting much longer. I think there's a reason they tend to stick on D and D.
Rather than spend two hours compiling an article of point by point breakdowns of this argument like I normally would I'm just going to link to this Alternet article and go eat pizza and watch Lucha Underground.
Yeah, but the circus was slightly more muted last go around.
This pizza is good.
Looking through that article, it oversimplifies a lot of statistics. And I have some problems with at least a few of the polls it's using. But I'm not going to go into detail because that's boring and nobody wants that. (And honestly I'm lazy too.)
I'll say it is totally true that most Americans want campaign finance reform, and other anti-corruption reform. But then that's less "socialist" and more "don't be stupid." Oh and gun control. It's true that even among conservative americans most people want at least some gun reform but that's being blocked by the incredibly powerful NRA.
With a lot of other issues Americans have complex feelings where they're upset by the status quo but don't trust the government with added responsibility. Which sort of ties in where some of that article's findings include some pretty significant oversimplification. Also it's worth noting that because we're currently stuck with a two party system if even one issue is an absolute deal breaker for someone that can affect what their effective stance on issues is. But I'm rambling.
Anyway I'm not saying anybody's wrong for voting for Bernie Sanders, I just think Hillary is the better choice for right now. And hell if Bernie gets the democratic nomination it isn't like I'm not going to vote for him. Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised by what he could achieve in office.

Who's courting the Juggalo vote?
Trump?
Probably Trump.
Well his face is painted
this is great
someone please kill me.
Is there a religious wing of Libertarians?
so they're probably republicans.
The ones who live in the apartments by the park where I like to eat my lunch have several Bernie stickers on their car. They're actually the first source that clued me in to the link between former Rand Paul Revolutionaries and some Bernie Bros.
Shaggy 2 Dope and Violent J certainly are. From what i remember the dark carnival reviel when the sixth joker card finally finished up was that it was a metaphor for purgatory or something and doing better to be welcomed into heaven.
also for whoop whoop wicked clownz.
ed: VV Didn't know that, holy shit

I am shocked.
To be fair, so were most people I know... well, maybe not insanely.
I try not to hold people's past prejudices against them considering that a lot of work to combat bigotry revolves around educating people who are prejudice in part because of bigoted cultural norms in our society.
Up to a certain point though. It all depends on what they did because of the prejudices.
Using a slur in private conversations in your teens and 20's and latter realizing that's not ok? Fine, you're good.
Doing so on an album or encouraging hate to millions (oh god, that's probably an accurate number) of clowns who base their life choices around your crappy circus rap band? Yeah... you pretty much have to devote a good deal of the rest of your career to propping up minorities to make up for that shit.
But man, telling people that Faygo is a good drink? Fuck you, you're done for life.
Oh,
The term originated during a 1994 live performance by Insane Clown Posse. During the song "The Juggla", Violent J addressed the audience as Juggalos, and the positive response resulted in Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope using the word thereafter to refer to themselves and their friends, family and fans, including other Psychopathic Records artists.The fanbase boomed following the release of their third album, Riddle Box, in 1995, leading Insane Clown Posse to write the songs "What Is A Juggalo?" and "Down With The Clown" for their 1997 album The Great Milenko.
Also, any interaction with a Juggalo is to be taken with caution. Not all Juggalos are the worst people ever I'm sure, but I've never had a good experience with anyone who's "Down with the Clown".
Ugh, more establishment candidates.
Vote 3rd Party.
Vote for Anybody Killa.
NOBODY 2016
They're not due to be the dual-presidents until 2024, anyway
