Ha, I'm absoutely with you on this.

His popularity is brutally low, and trends old. Basically, he's toxic among those voters who will still be around to vote in 15 years. Part of that happening is the result of the media becoming increasingly determined to make sure his actions and consequences are widely known.

[LoathedVermin72]

I'm not saying that at all. What I'm really saying is we can't rely on the media "calling him out" and think that's gonna get us anywhere. We've been "calling out" the right's bullshit for years and it fucked us. What we need is to grow some fucking balls, stop playing nice, and take from their own playbook. I want to see rule-destroying liberal asshole politicians like Trump. Enough with this shit.

You can start by punching the alt-right (Nazis) in the face.

Yeah, I changed my mind about this. The right is leaving little recourse except violence.

We need to put Bernie in a hyperbaric chamber and put him on the Captain America serum, stat.

Also, it would probably help if one whole channel of media wasn't made up of lying Republican shills, but you know, wish in one hand.

Isn't that Hillary?

Are you fucking joking?

See, this I can't get behind, considering it's up against fucking countless channels of biased liberal shills. The system is predisposed to cause division.

LV, do you really believe that? CNN is as bad as Fox News? False equivalences are one thing that got us in this mess.

[BurtReynolds]

CNN is worse.

Luckily we live in a nation with zero gun control and they can be armed to the teeth in 3-5 business days, less if they have prime shipping.

Not at all. Beneath the "reach-across-the-aisles" exterior is a manipulative and calculating politician who colluded with her party to railroad the populist candidate. And Tim Kaine is almost as loud as Trump. I'm not sure what else you'd want to see out of a Trump-style liberal, but Hillary's the closest there is right now on the national stage. If you want an arrogant loudmouth with a flare for the dramatic, ok, that person doesn't really exist yet...But I'm personally not interested in that person.

A manipulative and calculating politician is exactly what I don't want. I want someone who is actually going to win an election in a Trump future.

Like associating Trump and his supporters with racism, fascism and white nationalism?

I'm not so convinced this is a false equivalency anymore.

One thing that Spicer mentioned in his 2nd press conference, was that there was going to be an initiative to provide access (via Skype) to journalists that don't have the budgets to be in Washington DC to cover the material. I think that's a great idea. That being said, the downside could be that "routing issues" could happen and that could leave the door open to targeted black-outs on the "opposition media."

All I can suggest is not getting caught up in the current hysteria.

That is not a false equivalency, first of all.

And how are those associations incorrect? I know you read Steve Bannon's manifesto and thought it was mighty swell, but the guy is absolutely a white nationalist, and he's writing Trump's speeches. Jeff Sessions is a confirmed racist and he's the AG pick. None of this is false information.
