Maddow Performs Poetry Reading Of GOP Anti-Trump Anguish

[LebaneseDude 6,146]

I'm honestly thinking of making a collective post countering all the inane remarks I've seen regarding Hillary so I can just point them to it rather than repeating myself.

His performance is a myth. He's been unvetted and untouched. The GOP haven't even done anything towards him yet because they want to focus on the actual threat, Hillary, for now. Even the GOP have supported Bernie. You think they do that because they like him?

Republicans are underestimating him just like the news media, why attack him when they think the threat is Clinton? But they couldn't truly attack him because his record is so clean. Just because he hasn't been majorly hit doesn't mean he's ineluctable. The best they could throw at him is calling him a socialist, and that's already in the news. His electability is no myth.

So, you just said that it "Doesn't apply to most" but a "significant proportion" do behave that way. That's prejudice. If we were discussing race, that thought process would be racist. You aren't racist, but the prejudice is still present. You're degrading the entire generation.

... prejudice? There's an entire science devoted to studying the characteristics displayed among demographics. Are you kidding?

I'm a millenial by the way, and I exhibit many of the characteristics that are common to our generation such as entrepreneurship, ingenuity, acceptance of diversity, education levels, optimism, etc...

However there are a slew of negative characteristics such as entitlement, over-dependence on technology, among other things.

It's commonly understood that millenials have a sense of entitlement which makes them feel that they deserve something. Everyone is told that they are special, when that can often lead to more damage than good, and are so used to getting rewards for anything that the mere prospect of not having something go their way makes them jump into fits of rage and tantrums.

The Bernie or Bust supporters fit that description to a T.

People did underestimate him. Hillary and the GOP haven't touched him at all. His rise was certainly alarming, but as it turns out there wasn't much need for concern, because he still doesn't have the popular vote nor the vote of any minority group in the country.

Also nobody said he can't be elected. It's just that any polls being conducted now are so inherently one-sided that they're useless. Everybody knows Hillary. Nobody knows Sanders. The GOP will be sure to correct that in the most nefarious ways possible, turning off any independents from voting for him.

Did you not read that article? Please do. There's plenty of weaponry in there, some at the scale of nuclear bombs if spun in the right way.

And trust the GOP to find ways to spin them the right way. Just look at Hillary's reputation when the facts were almost never true. She never profited from Whitewater but apparently she's a shill and a sell-out, she had no applicable fault in Benghazi but the GOP and the media made SURE to overblow it, etc...

I can keep going on. Until his recent shenanigans and negativity I was low-key rooting for Sanders. I can't fathom why anyone would continue to do so after he showed his true colors, but keep going I guess.

This Rachel Maddow woman is unbearable. Every time I see her she is being patronizing and condescending. The interview she did with Hillary was a joke. I don't know why people watch that rubbish. Her show should be called Vote Hillary.

I'm not saying the science behind it is prejudicial, I'm saying that your use of it when discussing Bernie supporters is prejudicial. You're saying that our movement isn't valid, that our concerns are just thin air. You're directly insulting me. 

Just because you're a millennial, doesn't mean you can't be prejudice.

She was more critical of Hillary than Bernie.

She's the most unbiased Democratic reporter there is. She favors neither, but clearly now that Hillary is the likely frontrunner, she's switched to focusing on Trump vs Hillary.

Regarding her manner, she does have her faults. Still a very intellectual reporter.

Her viewers share her condescending and patronizing view towards the world.

...The application of this science is not prejudicial. It's prediction. Stop demonizing everything that isn't in your favor.

You're literally proving it right. 

Holy **** I never thought I'd see the day where a Bernie supporter would start attacking statistics and facts so bluntly. No wonder nothing I say seems to go through to you.

I can't fathom how EVERYTHING I have said so far has not put a dent in your stance. Are you so willfully dismissive?

"I'm not saying the science behind it is prejudicial"

You talk about not wanting to repeat yourself, but now I'm directly quoting my last post. Ironic.

 

Of course. I'm demonizing everything in my favor. That's what's happening here. Oh how my Millennial ways take over.

She all but told Bernie to get out of the race, using her influence to dissuade voters and seal the deal for Hiillary.

Edited a second too late. Chill.

And yes you are. The second the entire sociological science criticized your behavior, you painted it as something that is out to get you. Perhaps you can just accept that it applies to you without putting up a fight and calling it a farce? 

It's not like it's insulting you. It's actually justifying your behavior. The mere fact that you have only increased in aggression despite being shown statistics and facts to counter your arguments, makes it all the more obvious. Why can't you just admit you were misinformed and reform your opinion?

God knows I've had to do it several times when it came to Bernie, especially when I raged at him and had some friendly Bernie supporters convince me otherwise.

I wish the news would go ahead and hound Hillary for the transcripts of her paid speeches. No one is left in the race that has paid speeches. I'd love to know what these companies got for $225,000.

I know. I've never seen a more condescending tv host. She just lectures the audience. I don't know how anyone could watch it.
