The Many Faces of US Politics...

Matt Taibbi is a joke

He spent years in Russia sexually harrassing and abusing women

He's now basically a full time disruptor for Trump

Nobody should take anything he says seriously

As always there's 2 sides to every story and the truth is somewhere in the middle

He was. Despite the efforts of the GOP itself and certain people who are now president who fostered or indulged the racism against Obama.

yes and when he won both times the results were accepted and there was no outcry in the country that's full of white supremacists like eamon and Sid seem to believe.

Jesus wept. Do you people even hear yourselves? Obama's election sent the Fox News crowd into an 8-year apoplectic rage, saw the creation of the Tea Party, and there was an uptick in racism. In fact people like you were lambasting Obama for being "divisive," blaming him for provoking your racism.

Obama's election reduced perceptions of racism, but boosted opposition to race-related policies

Just gauge that to trumps win and it's easy figure out who the anti democracy people are .

Trump lost the popular vote by 3.5 million. His very election was anti-democratic, but every time you point it out then the mad hatters step in with the usual condescending "We're a republic, not a democracy" BS talking point.

california wanted to secede after last election and Obama only tried to interfere in the last election by spying on a presidential campaign .

California wanted no such thing, and the 'spygate' conspiracy theory is not taken seriously by anyone.

Where do you conservatives get your information from? Do you believe in alien abduction too?

what about Linda Sarsour the antisemite talking at dnc convention ? All good I guess

So on the one hand Biden disavows this speaker (who has the nerve to be a critic of Israel and supporter of BDS!) while Trump, once against, singles out and expresses public support for a racist conspiracy theorist, but its all the same thing.

Gotcha.

Well why doesn't he demand she be disinvited from speaking then if he's disavowing her?

Standard rebuttal: Criticizing Israel does not an anti-semite make.

Your attempt to change the subject is noted though. Where did you take your whataboutery lessons? DUP headquarters?

[whitey]

So point out that the Democrats also have some unsavory characters is what aboutery

I think double standards is a better "choice of words"

aoc endorses Bernard , anti semites giving speeches , interviews with Cardi b what's next Farrakhan to make an appearance?

[Eamonnca1]

Good man. Keep on repeating the "x is an anti-semite" charge without bothering your head to produce anything "anti-semitic" they have ever actually said. Keep repeating the lies over and over again like a good Fox News-watching bot.

[Eamonnca1]

By the way, I happen to support the BDS movement too. Does that make me an anti-semite in your book?

[Gabriel_Hurl]

You know that's a procedural thing right? Sanders passed the threshold of delegates to be on the ballot - she's the closest politician to him.
