2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Stop 3/5ing the vote of the AA community. [View all]VulgarPoet

"If you are serious about Sanders message of us instead of Clintons message of mine then stop falling for the fucking lies here and elsewhere. All Democrats and leftists are suffering from "Stockholm Syndrome" when year after year for the last 40 they have voted supposedly for a progressive Democrat and got a right of center neoliberal. How long can the left hold their noses? I do think that name recognition is still a big issue. I supported Jesse Jackson but even I didn't know much about Sanders until the Iraq War run up. And even then I still didn't know a lot. Why would I? The Clintons have been on the public stage for good or bad for decades. And yes, the Master/Slave relationship is real. Whenever you or any leftist lets an authoritarian prick tell you you are a traitor and a retard for wanting 'free shit' and then you turn around and hold your nose and vote for a neoliberal anyway, I am sorry but you are a slave to the blue team."
This is the shit that opened my eyes further to the fact that there are two distinct machines that consider each other enemies. This is the kind of shit that really showed me the depths of my own hypocrisy. I'm staunchly against fundamental evangelical Christianity. I'm staunchly against acts of terrorism. Overall, I'm completely against binary, one and zero thinking-- and both sides espouse it. Even worse when one and zero thinking becomes black and white thinking, and you're made out to be some kind of slave, traitor, or uncle tom to some binary cause.
