POLITICS & DONALD Annoying Orange MEGATHREAD

[beachbum111111]

its funny because anywhere but america in most of europe hillary clinton would be seen as very centrist and just barely left

hillary clinton is not an "SJW" shes following the party line exactly

Clinton is trying to get in solely by capitalization on the fact that she has a vagina

"sjw" seems to connote more than just someone's political views tho. it's like it's supposed to define an entire series of personality traits, not just having progressive social views

it seems to me similar to the difference between a redneck and a southerner. there's a definite relationship but one is a stereotyped model of a person and one is just a classification

I wouldn't be surprised if a good 80% of people are voting Hillary because she has a vagina

so like bernie sanders? He's the most SJW candidate we have and he's still popular

Socially left, not economically left. He's definitely socially left, but not to the extreme. In fact he wouldn't even be considered that far left economically in many parts of the world.

Details, in what way is he not economically left?

na, hillary is an establishment democrat. people who are also establishment democrats will vote for her because sanders is anti-establishment and much further left than the party line. i'm pretty sure every democrat i know who isn't young prefers hillary or o'malley, granted i live in north alabama so i don't know too many lol


also, if the stereotypical tumblr user is supposed to be representative of SJW views, i actually see quite a bit more support for just general anti-capitalism than people being specifically socialist. a lot of people actually seem to advocate communism who i would consider more SJW

i honestly thought that people throw that term around pointlessly to call people that if they even think differently or something

i mean that's what happened sometimes in other places

[otto-san]

a lot of people use it seriously because it's a decent way to categorize this idea of the posterchild hostile radical, but i think people throw it around a lot more than is probably fair as a way to be dismissive, cus that's just generally what happens with that kind of terminology i guess.

all conservatives are loveist, homophobic, tribals

some 4channers or redditers use it like an insult sometimes like for example

someone posted stupidly disgusting and someone else is like "What the forget is this stuff?" and they use it like it means something

but yeah i honestly think people are just using it stupidly to try to be funny nowadays

Details, in what way is he not economically left?

In Europe he would be considered a bit off to the left of the regular candidates. In Canada he would be about on par with the NDP party. The US is really, really right economically compared to a lot of the rest of the world.

[otto-san]

jeb is a mess, a waste, a big fat mistake

The US is really, really left economically compared to a lot of the rest of the world.

is this a typo

[Ipquarx]

is this a typo

yes

So super socialist and pushing towards communism?
