Don’t do it! That way lies Maryland!

Expressing what happens when libs go mad, as mad libs.

Kinda ironic that the way for minorities to get it better is to make sure poor white men have it better first.

Who said anything about first? If you make things better for minorities by addressing problems that disproportionately harm them, some white men will also see their problems solved. Why not use that as a selling point?

You’d rather solve nothing in case help goes to people you want to punish. You’d much rather con artists flourish and minorities continue to suffer.

In a society where white men are favored they still have that. Which isn’t a small thing! They will probably always win if put up against women or people of color when looking for jobs.

The problems I listed all disproportionately impact minorities, and addressing them will disproportionately benefit minorities. Failing to address them out of spite for white men disproportionately harms minorities. But hey, you sure showed those white men that you’re willing to harm minorities to get to them.

If you want white men to stop following con artists, you need to credibly solve problems that they’re facing, or they’ll believe the first con artist that comes along that wants them to blame minorities for their problems, which adds fuel to existing oppression.

I bet a lot of the minorities would prefer to be a white man to have it easier in life.

Yeah, probably. They have it worse off and I never said otherwise. Thing is, what democrats usually do in this situation isn’t to solve the actual problems. It’s to look at the bigoted false solutions offered by republican con artists and put forth watered down versions of those, breaking solidarity with minorities in the process. What this doesn’t do is peel off the votes of white men who have been suckered by con artists. You can’t beat false solutions with a lesser version of the same false solution.

Kind of ironic saying they have nothing and then automatically being accepted in the powerful fine boys club which fight for their kinds right to stay in a superior place in society.

I’m saying that democrats are leaving votes on the table that they could get if they wanted them, without throwing minorities under the bus like they’ve been doing.

White guys make up a large chunk of the population. There are white guys that have some of the same problems that are harming minorities as well. Poverty, addiction, mental and physical health, inflation, an unfavorable jobs market, and so on.

They see a democratic party that is at best useless at addressing these problems, when they admit that they exist at all. At worst, they see a party that is dismissive and hostile to these concerns, and to them personally. In contrast, they see a republican party that is full of welcoming con artists who will happily tell them that all their problems spring from minorities.

Neither side is offering actual solutions, but republicans are acknowledging that the problems exist, even if they’re offering false solutions.

So white guys keep falling for con artists. No one else is offering them anything.

On a similar note, Flock is known to do OCR on bumper stickers. I’ve recently found myself wondering if there’s any sanitization being done to the OCR output before it gets stored in whatever database they’re using.

Because Bobby Tables.

I haven’t seen anyone in this thread saying anything positive about Clinton.

I’ve seen a lot of proactive defense of him from the same people who demanded unquestioning worship of the second worst genocide supporter. This is the same garbage.

LLM bullshit should have been an extension

Does that make it ok?

Is that really the hair you want to split?

ITT: Centrists defending the lesser pedo because they’re perfectly fine with pedophilia as long as there’s at least one person worse than they are. And there isn’t a one of them who won’t immediately revise their position as soon as one of their guys is the worse pedo.

I do think scale is sometime important. A single murder is not a genocide.

Yeah, the clinton wing of the party would never support just one murder.

You don’t need to defend the lesser evil just because it’s lesser.

Pretend they’re comedians. Pretend you’re comparing Louis CK to Bill Cosby. You don’t need to defend CK just because Cosby is worse.

There is a world of room between “good” and “ran a child sex trafficking ring”.

We keep being told to not let the perfect be the enemy of the good. There is no good on offer. Just varying levels of reprehensible shit.

Liberals show no sign whatsoever that they believe the latter instead of the former.

But please keep being condescending when people don’t like your oligarch.

You just described a convention.

The ingredients for 42 ftw!

In both cases.

My robot vacuum would disagree. Every time it finds one of my dog’s toys, it rolls itself on top of it and starts humping. One of these days I’ll record this and set it to the turtle sound you can’t not imagine.

Or this sound:

I haven’t heard any announcements. Really hope she stays in politics.
