Brief synopsis?
"Why are we talking about politics in the gaming section"
"This isn't actually white supremacy. Nobody is wearing white robes"
Basically a ton of posters spewing Trumpism and rationalization has left the thread.
And VR platform wars because, why not.

"I haven't been reading any news in the last 2 years, but I don't really see how a group supporting the Republican nominee could be white nationalists."
"What's wrong with what he's saying here?"
"This is America, you should be free to have your own opinions separate from the product you are selling."
Maybe try volunteering for something? It's a good way to make connections or if nothing else get your mind focused on other things.
Lol I think I'm going with something besides alcohol too. It will be 'poppy' just like Hillary at the debate. Hey this is a special occasion. I hope the ratings are incredible. Politics should be watched more by Americans.
Good tweet:

Reading polls re Clinton are revealing; she wins on all substantive measures, but people have "doubts." This is how job discrimination works

He wishes he's ever looked even a tenth as good as this.That's great and all, but this is the best thing on the page right now:

This is just a tidbit about how FBI conducted their interview. FBI gave her limited immunity, she provided testimony to the FBI, James Comey gave press conference stating he's not recommending any charges toward HRC. Case closed.

Damn. Not surprising, but remarkable nonetheless.
I embellished the 2nd line for comedic effect, but the sentiment is accurate.

My father came here with the clothes on his back and a pocket full of dreams.
Oh and a million dollars his dad gave him.
What an insult. I know people who have started off from nothing and became successful. Trump is not like them.
That's a great ad (especially for gif purposes), but this one using Wolf Blitzer and Chris Matthews calling the race for Hillary just slays me. You can feel the dread building, with Jeb being the GOP's Cassandra, warning us of what would happen with a Trump nomination.

"... the question is, if Hillary has an 'episode' or seizure on stage, should Trump offer ... should he go over there and help?"

He was born naked into this world. Then his family took him home and he became a millionaire.
The American Dream.
Pampered, out of touch white man displays lack of self-awareness. This is really just par for the course with the Trump kids, yet there are still some claiming they should be left out of the discussion.
It's been mentioned here before, but the #optics of Trump being beaten by an old, invalid woman is a real risk to Trump supporter morale. I'm not sure why they're pursuing this line of thought.
Indeed. I'm going to be blunt, fuck all of them. They made themselves part of their father's rephrensible campaign so they're fair game.
It should be an issue with their narrative. If poor, frail, on-death's-door Hillary can best Trump, what does that say about him? But it won't matter to his supporters, they will rationalize it away like they do with every other piece of information which challenges their worldview.

Make sure and read the salty comments on the Cincinnati Enquirer's FB on their Clinton endorsement.

That's pretty damn good.
There is exactly ONE banner for Jill in my city.
It's literally just a 2ft x 4ft banner that says "JILL" in green letters.
Nothing else. Not advocating for people to vote for her.
Not advocating the Green Party, Not even mentioning her last name.
Just 'JILL'
Like if you're trying to catch some eyes to bring them into your fold, it might help to put your full name on there. Especially considering your name is less recognizable than a dead gorilla in certain state polls.
Spot on
Same thing as the Luckey thing. Rich, privileged people who talk about bootstraps or pretend they're not the elite are just the worst.
You might know her better as Wifi McVaccines-Autism

"Crafty: clever at achieving one's aims by indirect or deceitful methods."
I stand by my original statement.
I think you may be confusing "crafty" with something else.

Hillary just shot herself in the foot.
I don't know how much the rest of you know about Republicans (I'm an expert), but estate taxes are huge parts of it. It's not like for Democrats where you can become successful by taxing the rich. If you screw over the rich, you won't get their vote, and the only way to get their vote is repentance.
What this means is that Republicans, after hearing about this, are not going to want to vote for Hillary, nor will they vote for any Democrats downticket. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Hillary has alienated an entire voting bloc with this move.
Hillary, publicly apologize for your 65% estate tax or you can kiss your POTUS dreams goodbye.

The 65% estate tax rate applies to basically nobody. Or at least such an insignificant number that it sways nobody against her.
And it's something ripped right from Bernie, so maybe a couple Busters wake up from their fever dreams and realize they indirectly support white supremacy and Hillary isn't really that bad.

The exemption is over $5 million right now and likely won't change much. The only people this will affect is the 1%.
EDIT: Technically the 0.2%: http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/briefing-book/how-many-people-pay-estate-tax

Right. I've always been confused how republicans think that this would appeal to anyone except the ultra-rich, many of which were probably going to vote republican anyway.
Maybe. Maybe not. We have no way of really knowing.
Here is the North Carolina statewide voter registration data for 09/15/2012. Here is the data for 09/17/2016.
Looking through the data, in 2012, the voters in the state were 43.1% Democratic, 31.2% Republican and 25.2% Independent. Further, the voters were 72% white, 22.1% African-American, 1.6% Hispanic and 4.3% Other.
Now in 2016, the state's voters are 39.8% Democratic, 30.3% Republican and 29.5% Independent. The racial composition is now 69.9% white, 22.3% African-American, 2.3% Hispanic and 5.5% Other.
Over the course of these four years, total registration numbers in the state are up approximately 300k. Democratic numbers are actually down about 100k, Republicans are steady and Independents are up 300k. White and African-American numbers are up about 70k each, and Hispanic and Other numbers are up nearly a combined 200k.
North Carolina is very much still a Dixiecrat state, which is why Romney was able to win the state with such a high percentage of Democrats (43%). If Democrats in North Carolina all voted like Democrats in Michigan, or Minnesota, or Massachusetts, it would've been a comfortable Obama win. We know in Florida, in many of the panhandle counties, Dixiecrats are switching their registrations over to Republican. I don't know if that's happening in North Carolina since I don't really have to time to look at individual counties at the moment. That could account for the Democrats losing voters, who knows. I will say, though, that the bulk of new voter registrations have been Independent, and most of new voters are younger voters. I can only assume but I'm willing to bet with such a large number of young voters who have requested an absentee ballot, that's what accounts for the spike in Independents requesting a ballot. Of course, some young voters also likely registered as Democrats too, which might help account for the increase in Democrats requesting ballots too, along with the Clinton campaign and the local Democrats' great GOTV efforts.
What's encouraging is that even with Democrats' numbers down in the state, they're dominating the absentee ballots right now. That doesn't just happen on its own. And we know that most ballots accepted so far have been by older, white voters, a prime Republican demographic. As time goes by and younger voters start sending in their ballots, the Democrats' advantage should only increase, I'd wager. And don't panic about them not sending them in now, in states with mail voting like California, Oregon, Washington, older voters always sent their ballots first, and younger voters sent them in later. All in all, very encouraging numbers out of North Carolina. Hopefully in-person early voting goes just as well -- Republicans seem to be doing everything they can to block Democratic voters from early voting (reduced hours, less polling station, no polling stations on campuses, no early voting on Sundays so black church congregations can't be bussed to the polls after mass).

Paul Ryan and John McCain just got gazzumped.
If he actually does this, I don't see how he survives politically. After all of the crap he took during the primaries and the display at the RNC, if he crawls back now he would look like the most spineless jellyfish in quite a while.
