Topic | Warren Harding and Trump are tied for worst President |
KarmaMuffin 09/03/17 10:29:37 AM #30 | I'd say that Harding shouldn't even count. He gets an honorable mention. I wouldn't feel comfortable saying Trump is the worst, yet. So far yeah he's loud, offensive, and boisterous, but he's pretty much a lame duck. Sure he has his EOs, but the next dem president is just gonna wipe it away. Let me know when he gets some actual legislation done that is as hard as the ACA to get rid of. I would put Johnson, Buchanan, and Wilson as the top three for worst president, though. justaguy3492 posted... I also understand what your saying about not pushing modern day morals on historical figures, but lets not pretend like this man didn't encourage state sponsored genocide. While presentism has its pros and cons, I'd largely agree with the idea that we shouldn't put our own morality on those in the past. However, he had his critics at the time so it's not as simple as "it was 200 years ago ignore it." It's like saying that "of course people had slaves you can't judge them" when there was literally Tubman and other emancipation leaders fighting to get slaves free at the same time as other people were happily owning slaves. Maybe if we're talking about soldiers from 2000 years ago raping the losers side I'd get it |

It screams of insecurity to not like it when somebody you thought was your friend who routinely spends time with horrible people says "you are beneath her standards".? No, it screams of insecurity to let "I'd never go for a guy like you" bother you. I have plenty of friends who if they were of the right sex, I still wouldn't want to fuck them because of their personality. There's nothing wrong with that, doesn't mean anything other than the two of you aren't compatible as lovers while being great friends. Who knows what she meant by everything after that question. She could be telling the truth, she could be lying, she could have been too drunk to properly explain herself, she might think he's boring that at least the druggies were exciting, she might have thought that'd spare his feelings better than "you're ugly," or she might think of him too much like a brother to want a sexual relationship... idfk and idc. I won't defend her on that part. What I will say is that letting the comment "I'd never go for a guy like you" bother him is insecurity playing up and you gain nothing by pushing it further (as you can see that he still thinks she's the best friend he's ever had and unfortunately they're not friends anymore). Should've just dropped it because it's not like he wanted to bang her anyway so why bring that up? |

KarmaMuffin 09/02/17 2:40:25 PM #63 | FaultyGourry posted... You say that like it's a bad thing. And this is, in my personal opinion, the secret to the GOPs success. They campaign on how the gov't is useless, and when elected they prove it! Humor aside, I mean it. Republicans as a whole tend to be more distrustful of the government. Sure there will be Democrats who aren't the biggest fan of the more overreaching powers they can demonstrate and Republicans who do want a stronger federal government, but as a whole they tend to stick to their sides. What I'm getting at is that because of their different views on the government, when Republicans threaten to shutdown the government (most recently seen during Obama's terms, but now with Trump threatening congress if the Wall doesn't get funding), their supporters are happy about it. Anything that takes away power or "wasteful" spending is something they're happy about and reward. Meanwhile, Democrats tend to not look as favorably on that and would never support their politicians making a point and putting the gov't into a freeze. |

No, it just made taking care of my dementia stricken mother nearly impossible because she was unable to maintain a routine due to the dumbass neighbor's dogs barking literally non-stop all day. Couldn't sleep, couldn't do her therapy, couldn't have any goddamn moment of peace. Neighbors didn't care about that and had the same bitch ass attitude you do. Luckily the city forced them to get rid of the dogs. Your mother should be in a home where she can get the help she deserves, not stuck in a city where innocent dogs have to be punished. |

KarmaMuffin 08/28/17 4:24:22 PM #48 | UnfairRepresent posted... Small children should have no difficulty comprehending that, why do you struggle? Because you're ignoring facts that go against your beliefs. Zimmerman was told to not follow him. Zimmerman had a history of issues involving violence with his wife. Zimmerman failed at becoming a cop. If Zimmerman hadn't declared himself as the ever watchful protector of the neighborhood and decided that Martin was suspicious, there would have been no deaths. The fact that you can't seem to grasp that Martin's death only happened because Zimmerman fancied himself a hero shows how much you struggle with simple logic. |
Topic | Whoa the Zimmerman murder happened 5 and a half years ago |
KarmaMuffin 08/28/17 4:04:13 PM #31 | I don't get why people who love guns jumped all over themselves to defend Zimmerman. Zimmerman is like the textbook example of what gun owners should not do For example: Trying to be a wannabe cop Ignoring requests from 911 operators Following individuals Yeah Martin was a sketchy individual, but Zimmerman was the one who instigated the situation. Of course Martin shouldn't have started beating Zimmerman's head into the concrete since that goes far beyond self-defense, but the fact is that if Zimmerman hadn't wanted to play cops & robbers then Martin would have never died. The fact that Zimmerman milked the situation and even ended up trying to auction off the gun shows the kind of shit individual he is. |
Topic | So was Lincoln a Democrat or a Republican? |
KarmaMuffin 08/24/17 10:22:58 AM #10 | Usually when people say that the parties switched, they're talking about civil rights. Which was more of a South vs North thing, and at the time the Democrats appealed to poor white Southerners by being a party of the working class. However they stopped being that party and Republicans began appealing to those same people by using Christianity. Both parties at this point don't really resemble the parties of old, and they both focus on corporations. Democrats pander to liberals via social progress, and Republicans pander to conservatives via religion/guns, but neither seem to care that much. |

It doesn't take long to post on here, and it allows me to vent my frustrations with people irl who share similar views (although quite a few have admitted that they only consider themselves moderate because they're ashamed of the extremists on their *real* political side). ForestLogic posted... No, you didn't explain. You did the very thing I was talking about by turning it into B-B-BUT THE OTHER SIDE IS THE PROBLEM, parroting the same generic bullshit stock responses that any self-proclaimed liberal/conservative does by stating that the other side is unequivocally wrong and solely responsible for destroying America. I'm sorry you got that impression. Not sure how when I directly said that Democrats have their issues, but then again this ties into my comment about how moderates tend to be intellectually dishonest. Still, my second post directly referenced reasons why I view Republicans worse than Democrats, and I have yet to hear any examples Democrats have done on that level. I don't expect a response, I just hope you grow up one day for your own sake. |
Topic | Two months ago I decided to ignore all political news |
KarmaMuffin 08/16/17 8:06:23 PM #24 | EndOfDiscOne posted... Moderates can usually see issues from all points of view. It's frustrating trying to have a discussion with someone who thinks there is only one correct view, and everyone else is not worth listening to. I think this kind of view doesn't match up with reality. A person who is liberal or conservative doesn't become incapable of having a discussion with other people who have opposing views. Meanwhile in my experience most moderates have this holier-than-thou approach where they seem to consider themselves superior to both sides. Never mind the constant bringing up of the horsehoe theory or the fallacy of thinking that every side has merit so the middle is the best option (cue image of Hitler saying he wants to gas every Jew and Churchill saying to stop it, and the moderate saying we can meet in the middle -- an extreme example to be sure, but it matters in day-to-day life too) And yes, I still have yet to hear a good argument for what the Trump administration is doing except from his tight core of supporters, the constant gerrymandering from the GOP, or how Roger Ailes admitting he created Fox News as propaganda for conservative politicians -- none of which the liberal side of politics have been doing. Also, look at this link and compare the votes on party lines: https://np.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/2kaubu/just_a_reminder_of_what_the_senate_was_doing_the/cljns3q/ Oh yes, totally the same This is why moderates are frustrating. It always ends up feeling like some edgy 14 yr old thinking they have discovered some hidden depth that the adults have missed, missing the reality and really coming off as just intellectually dishonest. At best, it's just like TC who ends up being lazy. |

Topic | Two months ago I decided to ignore all political news |
KarmaMuffin 08/16/17 1:09:13 PM #14 | ForestLogic posted... Worst of all, the hyper conservatives/liberals are now calling out moderates and making them out to be the bad guy. Like, holy shit, they have absolutely no perspective right now. The biggest issue with moderates is that a lot of different issues don't really have a moderate view. Take for instance the white supremacists at the rally over the weekend. What is the moderate view between "I think white people are superior to all other races," and "I think all races are equal." ? Not to mention that a lot of moderates seem to look down on people who have strong beliefs on either side. There's no superiority in having a view that doesn't commit, so why have it? And lastly, at least for a liberal like myself, it's bothersome to see a moderate complain that "both sides are bad." Republicans are intent on dismantling government protections, pandering to racists when it comes to immigration, not accepting scientific consensus when it comes to issues like climate change, etc. Democrats have their issues, and they need to address them, but the issues they have are not nearly as problematic to the well-being of our country or the world. |

KarmaMuffin 08/16/17 12:13:19 PM #10 | How does it feel TC to willfully ignore reality and cherrypick what Trump says and does? What's it like to watch as your savior is rightfully called out even by his own party, and you still slurp it up because "they're not all nazis? Y'know the worst part? You're not gonna learn from this. In 2024 you're gonna latch onto whoever is the next GOP candidate and swear that Trump wasn't a real republican and not at all indicative of the party. It's like 2008 with Bush, where he wasn't even at the Republican national convention that year because everyone knew he was embarrassing and hurting their party's image, despite having supported him for 8 years. It's just pathetic. I'd pity you if you didn't intend to cause real harm on the rest of America because we happen to be more progressive than you. |

KarmaMuffin 08/14/17 4:10:57 PM #2 | If we want to condemn groups such as the neo-Nazis and others, then we must also condemn groups such as BLM and Antifa. And we need to stop the cherrypicking, as they all should be investigated. Let’s end this absurdity of trying to connect the Republican Party with the Ku Klux Klan, since it was a creation of the Democrat Party. And I seem to recall Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia, infamously known as a grand wizard of the Klan, lauded over at his memorial by Barack Obama, Bill and Hillary Clinton. It was Senator Byrd who was vehemently against the Civil Rights Act of 1964, but it was Republican Senator Everett Dirksen who supported its passage. |
