Support NeoGAF

[nature boy]

Speaking at a Virginia fundraiser hosted by former U.S. ambassador Beatrice Welters, Clinton laments in a clip released by the Free Beacon Friday that many of her former primary opponent's supporters sought things like “free college, free healthcare,” saying that she preferred to occupy the space "from the center-left to the center-right" on the political spectrum.

That's pretty broad.

 

[Debirudog]

Considering how a lot of them act, I would've called millennials a lot worse than what Clinton said about them living in the basement.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Politico has been gross this year with awful headlines with non-stories buried within

 

[Bowdz]

New Clinton audio leak has Clinton saying Sanders' supporters live in their parents' basements.

Lol, this must be part of the GOP oppo dump.

The full quote is super tame, but you know the media is going to blow up at the headline.

 

[BSsBrolly]

The only way this is negative is if you take it grossly out of context.

I mean, we heard statements like this coming from Bernie's own camp while addressing the lack of available jobs for young college grads.

It's this elections "you didn't build that." I.e. It's fucking nothing

 

[Macho Madness]

Think if Trump had said that about Clinton supporters. You'd all be having a cow. This is going to get her. She's already losing ground to Gary among the young. This will make it worse. Literally calling them disgusting basement dwellers.

 

[shem935]

The actual quote is a lot more mild than that

I mean.....I feel like she actually gets it?

But, in what world is that 'mocking'. Politico fail.

 

[Diablos]

The full quote is not bad at all, it's just easy to take out of context for the means of putting it on the screen or webpage as a headline.

 

[Bowdz]

Lol, I forgot about that. Such a nothing burger that became a rallying cry on the right.

If Trump had said that, I'd have died of shock that he managed to string five coherent words together.

And, trust, a lot of us had a lot worse thrown at us on this very site. So, ya...no.

 

[Boke1879]

The only thing that can be remotely focused on is the "living in their parents basement." but it's way out of context. She actually legit explained why they feel the way they do. Btw this is from February.

Also Trump is stupid and would rather talk about porn, and shit.

 

[Voysa Reezun]

Well, he would have used that phrase as a pejorative rather than in a sympathetic way, so yes, we would have reacted differently.

It'll be in a Trump ad. Calling Bernie voters basement dwellers. She looks down upon them. Gross.

Trump called hackers 400 pound kids at home. No one is going to care.

 

[Diablos]

Probably.

 

[User1608]

I feel she shouldn't have said "lives in their parents' basement". That's rough sounding no matter how you slice it.

Yeah she is empathizing with them if anything.

You're not very good at trolling.

 

[Debirudog]

Le gasp, shocking! Hillary actually gives a shit about our demographic group...but we treat her like shit!

 

[balladofwindfishes]

I think "lives in their parent's basement" isn't meant to be an insult, and is just referring to them living at home.

 

[Suikoguy]

Ugh, the OT thread on that will be a case study of those who actually read the link posted, or those who don't.

If some millennials are going to stay home because of this then they aren't even worth chasing after.

Donald Trump doesn't show empathy. And no, this will not get her.

Also, you might want to look up the definition of the word "literally" because you seem to be struggling with it.

 

[Spoiled Milk]

That quote is pretty bad. Yikes. Secret contempt of the politician.

 

[Debirudog]

it would be a good test to put whoever in my ignore list.

 

[Hopfrog]

The basement line is empathetic and descriptive of the reality of many millenials, not insulting. Anyone looking to spin it as a gaffe is really reaching.

 

[sphagnum]

As if "going as far as Scandinavia" is enough.

 

[Macho Madness]

Trump shows empathy with those who are feeling that they're getting a raw deal. He is their voice. Listen to it, or fail. Showing contempt for "gross, disgusting basement dwellers" like Mrs. Gaffe over there, will make her lose. Watch.

 

[BlastProcessing]

I feel she shouldn't have said "lives in their parents' basement". That's rough sounding no matter how you slice it.

It is rough sounding. It is also, basically true. More kids are moving back home after college. It's a well documented phenomenon.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Also as part of that leak, she talks about not approving of expanding our nuclear arsenal.

Of course that tidbit will get buried.

 

[starmud]

That quote is nothing... most young people would agree with it. Hell, I do and most of my friends say the same thing themselves.

Your referencing the generation of stay at home delayed adult hood low paid workers with college degrees.

It was hard to tell if it was sarcasm or not up until this point.

 

[Y2Kev]

Oh god the news cycle is shifting!!! Fuck! GET ALICIA OUT THERE NOW TO DO SOME PORN

Because Miss Libya probably doesn't believe it.

Ready to change bed sheets again?

 

[Hopfrog]

Trump is losing his mind and slut-shaming an American citizen, but sure let's focus on this nothingburger.

 

[BigJonsson]

That quote isn't bad at all

 

[banefirelord]

Well, those four and a half days of optimism were nice. Back to the regularly scheduled panicking.

 

[User1608]

It is rough sounding. It is also, basically true. More kids are moving back home after college. It's a well documented phenomenon.

I know, I'm looking at it from the perspective of how many people will likely react to the headline and story unfortunately. The phrase tends to be used as an insult. We'll see how it goes.

If it ends up being nothing, great!

 

[Joeytj]

Yeah, that "living in their parents basement" has to be taken way out of context in order for it to actually be damning. The whole quote is a lot better and shows empathy.

The main worr is that it might be picked up by the media because it's a break from all the Trump stuff.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Trump is losing his mind and slut-shaming an American citizen, but sure let's focus on this nothingburger.

Nobody is focusing on this. It's even getting downvoted on reddit due to Politico's terrible title.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

News journalists are focusing on Trump screaming that he can be way nastier than Hillary can.

 

[Hopfrog]

Is it? Glad to see reddit making sense, and shame on Politico for the click-bait.

He doesn't show empathy. He says you don't win any more and you are losers. He say that he is a winner and will win for them. At no point has he ever said that he understands what they are feeling or why they are feeling it.

Again, you might want to look into how to use quotation marks, that seems to be a point of difficulty for you as well.

 

[Y2Kev]

Fuckkkkk my dog just asked me about it

 

[Macho Madness]

This will be front page news Monday. Hope you enjoyed the poll bump because the Trump train is back on schedule.

 

[Owzers]

How long before trump brags about being the one who cheated on his wife instead of getting cheated on?

 

[Debirudog]

Also as part of that leak, she talks about not approving of expanding our nuclear arsenal.

She's lying, Hillary would only cause wars and mass destruction!

 

[Diablos]

If this happens I blame your post
