Ah, yes. Democrats need to become bigots in order to win elections.
No.  Just not be extremely smug, condescending, and most of all: PATRONIZING
It's hard for northeastern white middle class liberals not to be like that. The only language they speak is snark.

It's hard for liberals to care about appeasing people who go around saying "the stupid liberal cult needs to be shot/jailed/have their rights taken away".

Well the "Obama pls drone?" wasn't actually serious. Trust me when I say that the comments here locally like that would get off hard on if that happened in Milwaukee. These people really want the city/liberals that live there to be destroyed.

MTV contributed to the decline of substance to the decline of music by favouring style over substance.

And why do they have a "MTV News", I thought it was "Music Television"?

What's going on is that online bigots have been looking for an way to get rid of all discussion of social justice for years, so they're trying to hoodwink Democrats into thinking that social justice issues are why they lost this election, when there's no evidence to support that, as an effort to get Democrats to stop caring about minorities.

Who really gives a sh**t about this video.

What I find sad has people really wanted two pages of this and nothing over campus rape, or other important topics.  It has to be two pages of bitching over stupid sh**t like this.

Clearly the entire population of Michigan watched this video and decided they would never vote for any Democrat ever again.

I was posting in response to the thread topic (which was about the video), not to any particular posts in this thread. I'm just saying there's nothing useful that can come as a result of such a message except furthered divides. The Alt Right couldn't have made better recruitment propaganda if they tried.

Political correctness is ok for some, but not others. Had this been a video about New Year's Resolutions for blacks, the response here would have been totally different.

This is still a free country, so people are going to state opinions that will not be liked by Trump or his supporters. With control comes criticism.

It wasn't directed at you, just the stupid nature of the thread.

Sort of like how the History Channel has almost no real history these days.

Don't even start on The Learning Channel.  It actually had educational sh**t on it at one point.  But that doesn't sell like Polygamy.

There's a difference between promoting social justice, and being a "social justice warrior" IMO.

Maybe, but people in this theead are attacking social justice entirely.

This is just another "Deplorables" video that doesn't tell us anything new. It is just telling us all to be good liberals because of all the bad things that have happened. All it is causing more rednecks in cowboy hats, sunglasses, beards, and beer bellies come out of the woods and talk about how college kids need to give up fighting the natutal order of things, jump in a ditch, pick up a shovel, and be happy....or got to jail.

At this point, it was like when Republicans were telling people Obama was going to take their money away when no one had money.

We really need to start saying what we are for, rather than what or who we are against.

I keep sliding further to the right the more I witness this kind of BS.

     I wonder if they understand what kind of a reaction they're engendering here.

All it is causing is fot more rednecks in cowboy hats, sunglasses, beards, and beer bellies come out of the woods and talk about how college kids need to give up fighting the natutal order of things, jump in a ditch, pick up a shovel, make babies, and be happy....or got to jail.

At this point, it was like when Republicans were telling people Obama was going to take their money away when no one had money.

We really need to start saying what we are for, rather than what or who we are against.

You, uh, don't need to quote yourself.

The folks at MTV may be smart, but they are not very wise.
