I don't know either, and I want to reiterate that this is pure speculation. But Correct the Record did exist. They were pretty active on Reddit. I dunno about gaf, but I have no idea why it was so high in the rankings for redirects to Clinton's homepage. Probably a coincidence. Hillary supporters MIA can be explained by disillusionment and sadness. Another coincidence. It would take too much time and effort for a proper data analysis to find any concrete evidence, so that's why it's just speculation.
Make America Great Again is not gibberish nonsense. It's an appeal to nostalgia. To simpler times when one was prosperous and the world seemed perfect. It's a genius slogan.
Um, did you read what I wrote?
I think Reddit actually has a good system for this -- moderators appear as normal posters,unless they are speaking as a moderator, in which case their names are highlighted as green.
I'm not sure about making their names the same as ours. There is some utility in knowing who they are. But there is an unfortunate appeal to authority that happens when a moderator says something a poster agrees with*. It's a habit we should probably just be more aware of.
True, I do like that.
I guess in some ways it is probably unfair to keep comparing this campaign to Obama's since his seems almost unprecedented in what it did and the results it churned.
That's why I said it doesn't mean anything. Look up Penn and Teller's Bullshit episode about the good old days to know more.
Well, she left without a word at night. She has a good one the next day, but it really didn't seem she was prepared at all.
It's not a matter of when. It's a matter of where. And the answer is in people's memories.
Dunno. If I had the guess she was probably too sad or had too much to drink. Holding onto that less than 5% chance of pulling it off.
How I admire his work ethics and character. I guess being a member of a minority really helps him to get a good dose of reality check. Minorities never take things for granted.
It's certainly better than "I am with her", which is even more meaningless and focuses on Hillary Clinton as the message. She had another one, "better together" or something, that was decent, but that wasn't used that often. Hell, it didn't even stick properly for me to repeat it.
Stronger Together. Don't feel so bad, Bill Clinton forgot it during a speech too. Google it.
It didn't just place the value of the relationship on her, it also focused on the individual. It lets people say, "Well I'm not and don't want to be," as opposed to the similar yet much better, "She's with us."
Still don't understand how you claim to be the environmentally minded candidate while jetting back and forth around the country unnecessarily.
It's actually devious because of the terrible position you put your opponent in. Your opponent either has to acquiesce to the idea that they need to make the country great again (not in the same ways obviously but still that it needs some change) or you make them claim that the country is still great (which Hillary did) which instantly alienates your opponent from the people who feel disenfranchised or that the country isn't great because they feel unsafe and they've lost their jobs or futures.
That's cognitive dissonance for ya.
Yes there are people who watch their TVs and see a peaceful protest for BLM or what has been happening this week and see chaos and anarchy. Scares the shit out of them because of fear and they want it to stop.
Reminds me of this Studio C sketch.
I read a few books on the 08 election. Obama had an App called Narwhal. Their ground game was next level. I guess I expected Hillary to inherit a few things from him but it appears Axelrod moved on. Such a goddamn shame
Obviously not all HillGAF were astroturfers or anything but the amount of vitriol being spewed towards anyone questioning her was mindbogling even for a liberal forum.
