      d/w we all felt the same way (i was the same during brexit and I became very condescending ...and had to really apologise to a close friend who was pro brexit who really meant well but I suppose felt that working class was'nt represented by the left anymore, and in some ways... he's kind of right, at least about representation..) just have to self reflect and think of a more effective way of engaging people who we disagree with. (totally agreed with how you delt with gamergate btw I defo know you can be capable of level-headed debate.. I am mean you talked to people like king of pol, internet aristocrat and fucking roguestar games when it all kicked off and came out cool as a cucumber despite some of their... unique views...)

      People have told pollsters that the reason they will vote for Biden is because 'He is not Donald Trump'. What does that tell us? Biden is another ineffective soft soap Democrat, and perhaps an even worst one than Hilary Clinton. I live in New Zealand (sad to say we now have 24 COVID deaths, but Trump still thinks the USA is doing a better job than we are) but if I was an American, I would vote for Biden but feel sad about it. I would definitely have voted for Bernie Sanders, and hoped for a miracle. Mean while, deep thinkers like@RapidFireReaper will apparently vote for Trump so they can own a bunch of automatic weapons, and fuck the important stuff.

    Who the fuck is this guy and why haven't I heard of him before. I thought I was the only liberal that felt this way. Trump didn't win my vote, the left lost mine. And by the looks of it, my vote wasn't the only one they lost.
    For the first time in my life as a liberal, I feel like my side no longer has the moral high ground. We fought for so long to become the majority and once we did, we went and did the same shit that we accused the right of doing. We demonized, lied, bullied, and belittled the other side because we could, and because it was our turn to dish out the pain.
    We became the left's moral majority, the left's religious right, the left's tea party. In short we became hypocrites.

      And why is it that it has seeped into our most prestigious Academic institutions and imposed limits on freedom of speech? Even our talk show hosts had no problem calling people sexist for not supporting Hillary or racist for wanting something done about illegal immigration.
      CNN and BBC had no problem bringing racism, sexism and 'islamophobia' into the discussion at every opportunity with few representatives of opposing views that made sense. Canada will be passing a law soon making it illegal to misgender someone even if it's unintentional, British police investigating a guy for 'anti Muslim tweets', German police arresting a man for wearing a pig hat at a protest because it may be offensive to Muslims. Mandatory consent classes for male students on some university campuses, Campus staff being fired because they suggested that students can wear whatever costume they want on Halloween...

      Haven't heard any real arguments from either side to be honest. Nobody was talking about any issues and all the focus was one the two candidates personal lives and attitudes, like they matter at all.
      A president should promote the views of his party. Nothing more. A president's opinions may conflict with his party's views, but that shouldn't stop him from promoting these views. So please stop focusing on the person himself, because unless he's a dictator and goes against his own party, he doesn't run the country all by himself.

      I'm not a liberal, pr. see, as I am a social democrat in a country where that term means something completely different. But I do belong to the left, and where I come from Hillary Clinton and the democratic party is anything but a left wing party.
      Because when it comes down to it, left wing policies are mainly about economy and social security. I also live in a country where it's common for people to have friends across the political spectrum, where insults such as racist, sexist, sjw and libtard is rather uncommon.
      And I'm not surprised at all that a demography where sallaries has been stagnant for 20 years under numerous democratic presidents, where the cost of health care has grown insanely high, where people struggle to keep their house and food on the table might not bother to trust yet another candidate endorsed by the very people skimming the cream of their hard labour, while at the same time having to watch their jobs be moved overseas.
      Especially not when the educated and well payed young people, the very people who actually benefit from capitalism is opposing it while shitting all over the same people who are victimised by it. Not at all.
      So Devon Ziegler... Here I am, a social democrat, a person who you might see as a communist from your perspective, and I stand in solidarity with you. If I lived in the US, having to work my ass off for 12 hours a day in order to survive, I would have probably voted for Trump as well.
      Hillary wouldn't have changed much, but neiher will Trump. You had a shot this election, I honestly do believe that Sanders could have made a difference. In addition, he also pointed out that he WOULDN'T be able to perform miracles, and that he needed the support of both the house and senate in order to make any changes. He didn't promise much, because he knew the limitations that are in place, but what he did promise he would have fought for.
      The working class used to be the backbone of the democratic party, now they have rebelled as the democratic party has failed them. Trump won't change that. Your enemy isn't blacks, hispanics, illegal immigrants or among those lines. Your enemy is the very corporations who is reaping the benefits of your hard labour. The ones that get rich on your backs, the ones that exploits your labour, and whom increasingly has figured out that they can earn even more by exploiting people in third world countries for even less money.
      I stand in solidarity with the american, hard working people. I think it is about time that your labour is valued for what it is. I think it is about time that you can live comfortable lives without having to worry about forclosure, health care bills or the education of your children. About time you don't have to worry about your future.

      On social media, because it's always a lowest common denominator cesspit, you'll always get hyperbole from all ends. People on the left are the regressive "everything offends me" type and people on the right are very much an "uneducation is my education" type. Both are terrible.
      Furthermore, social media simply allows people to create and live in a bubble. The left will blame the right for being idiots and bigots, yet the right will blame the left for being too coddling and childish. None of them are talking about the decades long failure of neoliberalism and globalization and technology hollow out the middle and push us into a post-work society. Instead, they look for what hyperbolic nonsense they can get worked up about while they ignore the greatest social transformation of this century.
      To give you a specific example, where are we talking about the fact five million jobs will be gone from the US before 2020 and driverless trucks will get rid of America's most employed occupation? Instead, we're digesting Alex Jones and Anita Sarkeesian. What rubbish.

      @ShakinJamacian: Bravo, so much truth in your post. I consider myself conservative but I have long been thinking about much of what you say and consider it to be the real core of these issues. Further automation of the workforce in the (near) future is one of the things which terrifies me most - I am not against it per se, but I just do not know how our societies will handle it, I'm not convinced it will be handled very well; my gut feeling is it will simply create a larger underclass of people out of work and dependent on state subsidy.
      My parents are in their 70's and they often talk about how when they were young "people" talked about how computers would mean everyone worked less and had more leisure time, while still delivering the same levels of productivity as before computers. But instead what they got was people working the same hours or more, but expected to deliver much more in that time due to the computer assistance accelerating their workloads. I can imagine something similar happening going forward with new technologies as a best case scenario, but at worst as I alluded to earlier, the prospect of having way too many people with their jobs taken by machines, who will then no longer serve a "useful" purpose to society, but will still require food, housing, services, and a certain standard of living to stop them going mad. Add to that things like medical science extending lifespans even further it just boggles the mind - this is where sci-fi like Logan's Run and Elysium come from!

    • @ShakinJamacian
      @ShakinJamacian 7 років тому +6

      spongthe1st One way we could handle it is with a basic income. How we devise that is important, but I'd like to phrase the significance of it like this.
      If we assured people a minimum floor, they wouldn't suffer via poverty and precarious situations. This not only means we can get rid of work that is either bad for the Earth (coal jobs) but also automate things that are simply cheaper and safer to give to machines, like truck drivers. Not only this, but poverty is a mental disease: we know enough to say that being in poverty increases anxiety, stress, and actually causes neural pathways in the brain to be damaged and closed. We actually hinder human potentiality and wellbeing by letting people live in poverty.
      A basic income is also not a left idea, but a forward idea. Looking into people who support it, it ranges from the current President of the United States, to most technologists, to members of the World Economic Forum, to Martin Luther King Jr, to Richard Nixon, to even Stephan Hawking. And yet, no establishment figure really is hammering this point. Trump literally banked on a job policy circa 1986, not 2016. And we're prone to lose at least 5 million jobs before the end pf the decade to automation and AI, specifically. His failure here will show his introduction to fascism also misses the mark, just like neoliberalism has for decades.
      We should really be asking why we've made automation and better methods of production so chaotic for people. How is it that we're literally more prosperous as a nation than at any time ever in human history, yet nearly half of the people living here need at least two jobs, and they still struggle for baseline needs? Something is fucking warped here.

    • @DonPatrono
      @DonPatrono Рік тому

      I'd say that it has become MORE relevant, ESPECIALLY because of Biden's victory
      Again, in 2020, Trump's perceived image made it feel like he should have been beaten black and purple at the vote. And yet...only a 3% difference, because Biden didn't represent change. Because he's an old man that REALLY looked long in the tooth and not entirely there, wnot exactly reassuring when you're supposed to lead the country with the largest nuke arsenal. Because in his career as politician he had few contributions, none entirely flattering.
      It's clear that the only reason he was able to win is because he was propped up against Trump coming out from four years of intensified campaigning against him (not that Trump really did much to prove them wrong) that continued to paint every Trump supporter as racist, sexist, homophobic, ignorant etc. The Dems could have pulled up basically anyone, and still have won, but the veeery low margin really shows how they literally chose the bottom of the barrel, proved by the fact that Biden's popularity has steadily gone down with no true signs of an inversion of tendency.
      And yet, once again, what do the people who voted for Biden have to say? *AT LEAST HE IS NOT TRUMP*
      Sorry gents and ladies, as Mr. Price rightfully said, that is not enough. Choosing a dubious political candidate because "hey, at least he's not *that other guy* y'know" does very little to improve the situation.

It's not right -- an eye for an eye -- but I know where it comes from.
      We as a people need to learn better emotional training and management, because it goes beyond just religion. This here is one of the reasons, I don't feel like I fit into any of the standard groups or labels society has. I tend to lean left, progressive, libertarian, personal freedom, on issues. But what those first two labels hold for a lot of people are emotionally weak children who shame people they disagree with into silence.

While 2016 Pie would point out that Liz Truss was railroaded by a BoE that no longer has undivided loyalties to the UK, 2024 Pie would realize that fact would reflect poorly upon Blair who first divided the loyalties of that BoE in the first place. And ‘24 Pie can’t have that.

Funny thing is, none of them have come up with a realistic alternative to Trump.

      I'm glad to see so many comments who can agree to disagree! Or acknowledge that they agree on some things, and not others, and remain cordial. I was so fearful we've lost that ability over the past decade or so.
      I see it on both sides, but I do admit the left has been a lot worse about that. If you fall under any negative label they brand you with, often without even doing what they accuse you off, you lose all credibility to them. Then they tell people to avoid you/not support you over a trivial thing, such as a statement, often without providing sources. And even with sources, is a statement enough to condemn someone, or harass them? I feel like the left feels like they're little lawyers and detectives.
      The stuff Hillary said years ago about the black youth? Oh, she's changed her mind!
      Trump's comments a decade ago? Sexist!
      I don't like what either candidate has said in the past, but ignoring what one said and focusing on another, is bias, and frankly, corrupt. People need to learn to stop being so biased, and look at the WHOLE picture, and think more rationally, than emotionally.
      And the left even comes to the point where even if you are a member of one of the minorities they claim to defend, if you question anything, or say or do something they do not agree with, they throw you to the dogs. I've seen so many cases of queer people being doxxed or harassed by internet vigilantes, because they disagreed with some part of some left-focused topic. There isn't discussion anymore. It's such black and white, us vs them thinking nowadays. People are forgetting that everyone is different in every way, and it would be so much better if we took the time to listen to each other, and agree to disagree. But the left tends to say, "If you think like this, you hate X group/want X group dead!" which is such a huge jump. Then what you have to say is invalidated to them because you fall under X negative label.

After losing, the yes voters and news articles blame a lack of education. So people who voted no were called dumb. I don’t know how that is meant to help.

    Well, Jonathan Pie is right on. I am from rural Ohio - I grew up on a farm. I worked super hard and made it into college. I graduated with honors from a great liberal arts college in Ohio. I then moved to Seattle. I thought I leaned left was but was not left enough for the people I worked with. These were very nasty, passive aggressive, far left people. I was conservative compared to them. They treated me like I was inbred, backward, etc. while they were progressive, sophisticated, etc. They persecuted me, discriminated against me, etc. They hated everything good and wholesome and held up as great most all things malignant. I had initially bought into the hype that the left was tolerant, inclusive, embraced diversity, etc. but found out that all of this is rubbish---it is a lie! If you disagree with them on social issues, etc. they will shut you out. I accepted them but they did not accept me. Over time, all of this turned me against the left in general and now I am conservative. Hillary calling Trump supporters deplorable fits the pattern as does referring to inland America as "flyover". The left's behavior in this regard really hurt those on the receiving end and is a reason why Trump reasonated so well. The so called deplorables overwhelmingly are solid, hard-working, wonderful, traditional, patriotic, common-sense people and are not at all the hate filled bigots the left portrays us to be.

      As a classical liberal/libertarian leaning type, I don't consider this modern iteration of far left social justice warriors as true liberals. They are merely authoritarians and/or neoliberal elitists who hold a few socially liberal views so that they can feel good about themselves and morally superior in their privileged lives. They are essentially the flip side of the religious right who use tactics of shaming and silencing in their own way. True liberalism stresses equality, individuality, challenging prevailing viewpoints, and an openness in expressing differing ideals and freedom of speech. The mainstream modern left, at least in America, goes against all these fundamentals. That's why I always find it funny when these people belittle the religious/extreme right, because in many ways they are their mirror image and share many similarities.

      I agree that the fault is on people who refuse to engage in debate. I was pointing out that it occurs on both sides, I did not say that there were not liberals at fault, I was merely pointing out that calling someone a libtard (which is seems more unjustified for having a leftwing view than saying people who support someone who promised racist policies racist) is just if not more so problematic to engaging a serious debate on issues than calling someone a racist. I just found it ironic he was complaining about people labelling him and then just used a massively derogatory label himself

However I really disagree that calling some one a libtard is even in the same boat as calling some one a racist. I have never heard of some one getting fired for being accused of being a libtard but I have heard of people getting fired for being accused of being a racist.

    I'm a girl and I was genuinely bothered by Clinton and every celebrity who constantly pulled the woman card. It got to the point where not only men but even women were fed up with it.
    I don't care whether the candidate's male of female. I will vote based on your ability to lead a country. Sure, I think a female president would be a great progress for equality but there are other ways to achieve that. Making a female candidate president just because she's a woman, but not fit for the job, is ridiculous. Your gender is not an argument.

    • @fredneecher1746
      @fredneecher1746 7 років тому +6

      Why do you think it would be progress for equality? Are you saying women haven't yet developed the "ability to lead a country"? Or do you think being President is some sort of right that there should be equality in? Or are you just a typical woman who puts women ahead of country?

      I am a man and I understand your argument but I think I also understand what Winteris Coming (great name btw - just a few more days till Game of Thrones airs its 7th season):
      Here's the thing (the way I see it): Women have always had the ability to lead a country but in order for a woman to be elected she needs men to vote for her too. Progress is when the vast majority of men will have no problem voting for a woman and THAT is the million dollar question: "Have men in the USA progressed there yet"? Because it seems odd there was yet no woman American President. Israel, a tiny country only 70 years since it became a sovereign state, had a woman PM (Golda Meir) 48 years ago (two - if you count the 24 hours that Tzipi Livni was PM). Hell - Pakistan had a woman leader and the USA none yet? I think Hillary Clinton was a terrible choice (totally agree with Jonathan Pie) but were there no candidates before her? (and if not - why not)?

      A female president is a landmark and a symbolic victory that solidifies the achievement of meritocratic equality. When it happens and hopefully through merit of the woman it will always be symbolically important to people who campaign or used to campaign for the equality.
      It doesn't matter how equal we are, the first time will always have some symbolic value to it.

Gays and abortion were the GOP issues every time. Even if Republican voters didn't like it, few were actively fighting those things. The rest of us just didn't give a shit. Trump was their knight in shining golden armor, who destroyed the GOP and he said things that weren't gay marriage and abortion.

      I think the general thesis of what was said is correct. The left doesn't present logical arguments anymore, not because they don't have reasons for their belief (Who believes in something 'just because' or 'because they're stupid'? Nobody. We all have arguments to make.), but rather because they've just grown lazy from decades of perceived victories and a cancerous PC culture.
      The left damages themselves through this decadence. Just look at the current list of candidates for the next election on the Democrat side. Who do they got? Elizabeth Warren? Run Sanders or Clinton again? Or Michelle? Oprah? They have nearly nobody on their bench anymore, as everyone who wasn't named Clinton or Kennedy or some other veteran from the 60's was reduced to serving their 'betters' coffee and giving them briefings. There was no apprenticeship. No passing on of skills or development of new blood. Obama was perhaps the exception to this rule, but even in the 08 election it was still Clinton as his opposition. Now there is nobody left and Liberals have nobody but themselves and their complacency to blame for it.
      The only way to actually start moving towards political parties that are at least somewhat free of corruption and nepotism is to abandon sacred cows like "HILLARY CLINTON MUST BE THE FIRST WOMAN PRESIDENT" and start questioning the leadership as well as getting more involved in your party.
      The GOP faces similar problems - maybe not as bad, but we could easily be in the same place 8 years from now. Corruption, nepotism, and bad logic are EVERYONE'S enemy; whether you are left, right, or whatever.

      HeidiSue60 it's sad because we had a candidate we wanted.. We had one. We got something else entirely. a lot of my friends either abstained from the presidential candidate vote or voted trump not because Hillary was a woman (no problem with female President bit Hillary was a bad candidate) because they were pissed. We need to change the DNC that fact is simple. I just hope a lot more of the left helps make that possible. ill vote either side depending on the candidate but this year it was more like what's the point.

      20+ in fact. Both sides simply refuse to come to the table anymore. They both say 'sure, we can talk.' And it always ends up being the same thing; 'we can talk' translates directly to 'you have to do it my way.'

      Oh, wait, you're serious. Here, let me laugh even harder.
      HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA.
      Kind of like how they 'talked' about the ACA?
      Or how they're very willing to 'talk' about taxes?
      Perhaps their willingness to 'talk' about the environment?
      Or is there some other 'talk' I missed?

      I am exactly the same. I was so glad to be in a *non*-swing state so that I could happily vote for Johnson in 2016. Not this time. This time I will vote Trump. He is a narcissist and a sleezebag, and he could be substantially worse and I would *still* vote for him over the identity politics spouting excuse for a Left wing that we currently have. Kavanaugh, Covington, Smollett, and a phony impeachment? What a disgrace! I used to vote a mix of Independent, Libertarian, and Republican. Starting in 2018 and until the Left regains its sanity I will vote straight Republican.

      @@ivanblank3667 I hate the progressives, but I don't see any benefit with Trump. The pandemic was his responsibility and now over 160,000 of my fellow countrymen are dead. He tried to repeal the 14th amendment with an executive order. He suggested violating the 20th amendment with an election delay. He suggested the press should be forbidden to witness the GOP nomination which violates the 1st. He cares more about conspiracies and less about data. He has ridiculed gold star families and claimed they were attacking him. He ridiculed John McCain and Jim Mattis. He refused to allow the military to rename bases named after the confederate soldiers even though the military wanted to. He pulled troops out of Seria and left the Kurds out to fry after they fought and bled beside us to defeat ISIS. He is pulling troops out of Germany who are our allies. He insulted the leaders of NATO. He has walked away from the Climate Agreement. He trashed the Iran Nuclear Deal and now they are stockpiling again. He killed an Iranian general against his advisors' recommendation and almost started a war. Millions of Americans are suffering and don't have a job and his administration has refused a stimulus package to help the American people. He makes fun of handicapped people. He makes fun of asian people. He dodged the draft 5 times. He bankrupted a Casino. Several members of his cabinet have quit including a speaker of the house. The whole Ukraine thing which violates campaign finance law. And he can barely pronounce simple words and sounds like an idiot consistently. Before I am called a Leftist, I am anything but. I don't hate all republicans but I cannot stand Trump.

      @@madouc5754: I wholeheartedly agree that he is a pretty amoral and even immoral sort of guy, but those qualities are not high crimes and misdemeanors. The fact that the Senate was never going to vote for impeachment was in part because there was no good case for it. Quid pro quo? Please. He released the transcript of the phone call to clear himself and while that was going on we learned that Biden had actually *bragged* about committing exactly the sort of quid pro quo that they were trying to pin on Trump. Honestly, the release of the Ukrainian phone-call transcript can be contrasted nicely with HRC's wiping of a hard drive full of government emails that were about to be subpoenaed. If there really was nothing to hide on those emails, then she could have turned over that hard drive to the government. As for Russian collusion and other similar stuff, they now have overwhelming evidence that an illegal wiretap was performed on the Trump campaign, and then there was the nonsense involving the Steele dossier which also should properly lead to legal action against HRC and Obama. Nah ... Trump is a scumbag for sure, but the impeachment was a steaming pile from start to finish. It was no more and no less than a soft coup attempt. You don't get to impeach someone for being a narcissistic sleazy immoral ass. There needs to be a crime. They came up with absolutely nothing, and they committed multiple crimes in order to attempt to find them.

      @@ivanblank3667 Well you won't get me defending Hillary. As soon as it became apparent that she had a broken a law, they should have gone for someone else. Her wiping of emails only compounded the error and by constantly excusing her it has only served to undermine attacks on Trumps ethics.
      From my understanding the Russian investigation started after a discussion between a member of Trumps campaign and an Australian politician so I am sceptical of claims that the investigation was not valid. This was after the Democrat servers had been hacked. I don't believe the impeachment was a "soft coup attempt" because there was never any chance of it succeeding. It was a foregone conclusion that the House would convict and the Senate would acquit.
      The released transcript of Trump's phone call was not an exact word for word statement of the call. There were omissions which thus far have not been released and probably never will be. Legals analysts have said that the call implicated Trump. This along with the fact that aid to Ukraine was withheld makes the Presidents claims to be dubious. That being said I doubt he realised he was breaking any laws - if in fact he broke any.
