The Irony Oremine

It's always scary when someone is obsessed with destroying people they don't even know so much that they'll spend millions of hours and dollars to dredge up past mistakes in an attempt to do so....it's wrong...

John Oliver is a clown and has been exposed as such many times.

Stop with those strawmen already.

I love how no matter how unpopular she gets that posters on here still cling on to this fan girl obsession of her.

I love how much Hillary triggers the right wingers on this site

I'd give up on politics for a little while. It'd be clear to me at that point that the Democratic Party will never change in the way it should. Maybe I'll focus on local politics, see what I can do in Louisiana or Georgia regarding activism, but federal politics would be a sport I'd no longer want to spectate.

You’d be so dismayed by a president who supports single-payer that you’d stop caring about politics. You voted for Trump in a swing state. Why aren’t you a Republican again?

A neoliberal essentially calls someone (that person being an ancestral Democrat) a DINO. Isn't that like the pot calling the kettle black?

He doesn't support "liberalization" of the economy AFAIK.

Who?  SG or Heat?  SG is decidedly left on economic matters.

Heat, and by "liberalization", I mean deregulation, tax cuts, etc.

I am admittedly much less captivated by left-wing rhetoric than I once was regarding unions, taxes (of the corporate and payroll variety), and especially trade agreements, but it would be pretty disingenuous to compare my views to figures such as Ronald Reagan or Margaret Thatcher.

Regardless my ideological drift away from the left is not particularly relevant to whether or not it's ironic or hypocritical for me to imply a Trump voter is a Republican. I've voted strictly for Democrats in every election I've been eligible to vote in, and that's not changing anytime soon. Most "neoliberals" didn't donate to and vote for Bernie Sanders either. But it's now just a meaningless buzzword used to evoke whatever negative emotions people hold about the establishment, however substantial or unsubstantial they may be.

sad and stupid generation, but i woudn't generalize, that's the liberal way...

I know it’s shooting fish in a barrel but come on.

Fantastic stuff!

Which is the insane part about moderate condescension, by the way. The more educated someone is about public policy and science, the further left they get.
