- I loved loved loved Snowpiercer, but Shadows is very interesting and is probably the better movie -- nm - con_carne Sep 10, 09:58

ohh this #basketofdeplorables comment realllly has the right riled up. Good job HRC. -- nm - Jovian Sep 10, 07:47 35
- For mobilizing the opposition? This is her 47% comment - not good at all. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 10, 07:58 34
  - I kinda agree with Will. It is the truth, but the truth doesn't have much meaning in this election - amoxy Sep 10, 09:48 1
    - I would agree with this during a normal election. But not this one. -- nm - Diva Sep 10, 10:08
  - truth is an absolute defense. nothing she said is factually wrong -- nm - shaolin fantastic Sep 10, 08:51
  - I disagree. His candidacy has been all about hateful divisive rhetoric since day one. Anyone who's saying otherwise is full of it. - Diva Sep 10, 08:31 19
    - I think it's more about demonizing a quarter of Americans. - iSpam Sep 10, 09:31 16
      - sorry, demons -- nm - shaolin fantastic Sep 10, 09:49
      - Considering the number of people who vote in US elections, it's more like 10% -- nm - Roger More Sep 10, 09:43
      - I think if you don't want to be demonized, you should try not being a racist/sexist/homophobe. But hey, that's just me. - con_carne Sep 10, 09:41 2
        
        Sure, but even if we agree that they deserve to be demonized, it's smarter for people other than the candidate to do the demonizing. - mara Sep 10, 09:53
        
        Your IM is honestly scarier than anything Trump has said. - iSpam Sep 10, 09:44
      - And he could have started his candidacy without demonizing Mexicans, Muslims and immigrants, but it' seems to work for him. - Diva Sep 10, 09:37 8
        
        Don't wade into the slop to wrestle with a pig... - iSpam Sep 10, 09:43 7

        I'm not holding her to a lady standard. I'm holding her to the standard I wish of all our presidential nominees. - iSpam Sep 10, 10:07 1
        
        I never once referred to you. Not sure why you take these discussions personally. -- nm* - Diva Sep 10, 10:10
        
        have you seen the supporters at his rallies? they're very delicate flowers -- nm - shaolin fantastic Sep 10, 09:59 1
        
        Yes and it's very telling. -- nm - Diva Sep 10, 10:03
        
        he says all that shit and 40% of the voters support him either: (1) because of it; or (2) in spite of it. so fuck them -- nm - shaolin fantastic Sep 10, 09:51 1
        
        this -- nm - Diva Sep 10, 10:00
      - They had already written her off. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 10, 09:33 1
        
        It's not just about votes, though. She'll be everybody's President, not just her supporters'. -- nm - mara Sep 10, 09:37
    - I'm with her. -- nm - budice Sep 10, 08:54
    - yonh -- nm - shaolin fantastic Sep 10, 08:51
  - I disagree. She made two camps, and allowed people to select themselves into it - Reagen Sep 10, 08:13 9
    - Definitely, but it would have been smarter not to quantify the two camps. "Some of his supporters," not half. -- nm* - mara Sep 10, 09:02 4
      - if you look at the breakdown of those polls of his supporters, i bet it's actually higher -- nm - shaolin fantastic Sep 10, 09:21
      - He says about 8000 ridiculous things a week and never bothers to parse any of it. - Diva Sep 10, 09:20
      - This was my gut feeling as well, but I wonder if she felt you need to quantify... - ty97 Sep 10, 09:17 1
        
        This was my thought - every party has "some", but the message needs to be that "these people will be having a big say if Trump is elected" -- nm - Roger More Sep 10, 09:30
    - This. -- nm - znufrii, dad. Sep 10, 08:57
    - these two trumpidiots last night were all indignant-like, saying they felt insulted, and I thought "so you're admitting to being that half?" -- nm - mud Sep 10, 08:25
    - I agree. Sets the stage for the debates where she can say 'Are you REALLY with this guy?' -- nm - Volnelk Sep 10, 08:19
    - hmmm, very interesting ... -- nm - machiavelli Sep 10, 08:17
