dd8z3sr	t1_dd8xaqh	t3_5rnuqp	hillaryclinton	iloverainingday	I didn't live in US at that time, what were those conflicts? I know both Hillary and John Edwards wanted universal healthcare, but Obama wanted to do health insurance partnered with private sectors. I also remember Hillary got attacked a lot by her Iraq vote, which she explained with Bush's misleading information/position and apologized repeatedly. On the other hand, Hillary attacked Obama for missing lots senate votes and had his positions hidden on issues that could cause controversies, which is a valid move for people planning to run for Presidency (unfortunately, Hillary didn't have this option).	false	low	643
dd8yy4g	t1_dd8yd2j	t3_5rn73n	hillaryclinton	imaseacow	Yeah I've wondered about that. Also wondered about his ability to stay faithful for four years because you know he's used to having affairs.

dd8y37c	t1_dd8xaqh	t3_5rnuqp	hillaryclinton	eternasflorecitas	As someone who voted for Obama and not Hillary in 08, my whole rationale was I didn't want the presidency to go Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton. That bothered me. I wanted new blood and a hopeful perspective, and I don't regret it one bit. But it was never because I thought Hillary's policy ideas, qualifications, or abilities were not consistent with my beliefs. Also, Hillary's campaign management in 08 wasn't nearly as good as it was in 16.	false	low	652

I know people call him a vanity governor, but he actually did an ok job, yeah there were many screw ups, but he governed decently. And he was truly a moderate Republican.

He caucuses with the Democrats. He changed his party affiliation. I thought it was perfectly appropriate for him to run. So did the overwhelming majority of Democrats. And as a general rule, I like any policy that encourages more participation in civil society. Having more-or-less open primaries is a good thing.	false	medium	664
dd8xd9g	t3_5roajf	t3_5roajf	hillaryclinton	Spiel_Foss	I've never really been a "fan" of The_Arnold, but his choice to replace Trump on the Apprentice and Trump's subsequent selection to be President provides a dynamic that will only get better if Trump does miraculously stay in office longer than a month. Arnold can say what ever he wants and will get coverage. Perhaps there is hope in this otherwise washed up celebrity and former vanity governor.	false	high	665

dd8wz2l	t1_dd8w1e1	t3_5rn73n	hillaryclinton	imaseacow	I don't see divorce at all. She's a trophy wife, always has been. She's paid to look pretty and be an ornament and status symbol in Trump's life. Why get divorced when they can just live their mostly separate lives and she can keep the money and the status and he can keep the illusion of being attractive to women? Seems to me like they've got a deal that works for both of them.	false	medium	668

dd8wu1r	t1_dd8tlqd	t3_5rn73n	hillaryclinton	imaseacow	I'm actually mostly ok with Ivanka filling that role. We've had Presidents before the modern era who have had the First Lady role filled by a daughter or another female relative. Melania is clearly uncomfortable with the position and Ivanka more suited to the duties, so, ok. My bigger concern is the role Kushner plays with Trump and the general conflicts of interest the Trump family as a whole has.	false	medium	670

Look at how the republicans have solidarity for one another, even with the various factions. They don't let extremists or concern trolls derail their *#$%# train. Ronald Reagan advocated the "Eleventh Commandment": "Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican" The dems,liberals,progressives,socialists,anarchists,communists, leftists,etc.. should have something similar.

dd8v2zj	t1_dd8uuf7	t3_5rmdn0	hillaryclinton	80lbsdown	Well, all of those things have to be said by a candidate that more people like, then. I love HRC and supported her since the primaries, but the pervasive dislike and distrust of her impacted her ability to get a message across. This election has made me very cynical, and in 2020 I think we need to nominate whoever is most likeable and is most willing to tell people what they want to hear. Our last 4 presidents have fulfilled those requirements.	false	low	687
dd8uuf7	t1_dd8tzx4	t3_5rmdn0	hillaryclinton	tthershey	But she said all of those things (minus the never having to pay a dime for healthcare again, which is so unrealistic and I would never support someone making such an obvious lie). I don't agree that messaging was the issue.	false	medium	689
dd8upzk	t1_dd8twzr	t3_5rl4x8	hillaryclinton	Rakajj	>And he manages to eat into Dunder Mifflin's profits by stealing all their clients in Season 5 (even though he can't run his own business well enough to take advantage of that). All of which indicates that he's actually a very savvy salesman, if incompetent at most other aspects of his job. This is sort of a misleading way to present that situation. Only through the magic of television was that situation able to play out the way it did. Michael wasn't a savvy businessman, his business was failing almost immediately. I agree that he's presented as having been a good salesman, but the only reason he was able to steal customers from Dunder Mifflin was that he was offering prices that were literally below-cost for him so he was undercutting Dunder Mifflin and taking a loss on all of the product he was selling. It wasn't a savvy sales technique, it was an unsustainable one that had they not wrote the terribly unbelievable buyout into the story would have resulted in his business failing and all of his customers leaving him. Pam somehow still needed to bad-mouth Phyllis to her customers though even with the unsustainable prices(that she didn't have enough time for her clients), which is bizarre because that's pretty much the sticking point throughout the show that they lose customers mostly when they are beat on price (or for not having a website) (except with Danny) as they try to sell themselves as having better support / service. >Even back in Season 3 it turns out they're doing better than Stamford, which is why they don't get closed down. Either you or I are remembering that episode wrong. I remember the manager there...Josh...uses the merger as leverage to get himself a management position at Staples and once he's out of the picture they swap which direction the merger happens. In Season 1 or 2 I also remember a scene in which Jan says Scranton had been consistently in 4th of the 5 branches she managed (Mike then makes a joke about being in the top 80% as if its a good thing which is how I remember that.) Overall though, it's difficult to analyze a sitcom on this level because over the course of season after season many inconsistencies in the characters are introduced for the sake of moving an episode's plot forward or to just enable a funny scene one of the writers came up with. It's primarily a comedy so small tweaks to the characters for the sake of the humor are very common. I'd agree you could certainly have more optimistic or positive framing of the character than I do, despite having multiple-watch throughs of the show I actually hate Michael in a love-hate sort of way. Steve Carrell did a fantastic job with the character, he's an amusing sort of aggravating.	false	low	690

dd8ulaq	t1_dd8ndr8	t3_5rl4x8	hillaryclinton	Albert_Cole	Former Missouri Secretary of State. He nearly unseated Roy Blunt for the Senate seat. He lost by 3.2 points in a state Hillary lost by 18 points (by comparison, beloved former Senator Russ Feingold of WI lost by 3.4 points in a state Hillary lost by about 2 points). He was a former Army captain who [assembled an AR-15 blindfolded in a campaign ad](https://youtu.be/-wqOApBLPio).

Really makes clear just how of his depth Trump is when it comes to Russian psyops and propaganda.

dd8tzx4	t1_dd8rqvk	t3_5rmdn0	hillaryclinton	80lbsdown	We have to state the outcomes of Dem proposals plainly, in a mass-palatable way. "Donald Trump wants your money to go towards a wall when more Mexicans are leaving than coming in. Imagine, instead, never paying a dime for healthcare again. Imagine not worrying about how to make ends meet when you fall ill." "Americans want good, high-paying jobs. There are tens of thousands of jobs to be had in clean energy--but Trump's SOS is an Exxon Mobil CEO that wants to shackle Americans to his own assets. We can have good, healthy incomes while producing clean energy." "Your tax dollars are going to oil subsidies so Donald Trump's rich friends can get richer. We want to put that money back in your pocket."	false	medium	695
dd8twzr	t1_dd8jw0u	t3_5rl4x8	hillaryclinton	Albert_Cole	I'd argue for a slightly more optimistic view of Michael. As early as [Season 3](http://theoffice.wikia.com/wiki/Initiation) they have that bit where he secures a deal with an important client whilst on a sugar high on Pretzel Day. And he manages to eat into Dunder Mifflin's profits by stealing all their clients in Season 5 (even though he can't run his own business well enough to take advantage of that). All of which indicates that he's actually a very savvy salesman, if incompetent at most other aspects of his job. And of course they state several times that the Scranton branch is doing better than the company as a whole (which is why they send Michael on a [lecture circuit](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lecture_Circuit)), so he's not running the company into the ground or anything. Even back in Season 3 it turns out they're doing better than [Stamford](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branch_Closing), which is why they don't get closed down. Which leads me to the conclusion that Michael Scott is probably a better dealmaker than Donald Trump is. And now I'm worried again.	false	medium	696

And part of it is just people wanting generic "change" who don't stop to think about whether the change they're voting for is a good one or a bad one.

I think these choices are made not really for profit in most cases, but out of necessity.

I didn't live in US at that time, what were those conflicts? I know both Hillary and John Edwards wanted universal healthcare, but Obama wanted to do health insurance partnered with private sectors. I also remember Hillary got attacked a lot by her Iraq vote, which she explained with Bush's misleading information/position and apologized repeatedly. On the other hand, Hillary attacked Obama for missing lots senate votes and had his positions hidden on issues that could cause controversies, which is a valid move for people planning to run for Presidency (unfortunately, Hillary didn't have this option).

As someone who voted for Obama and not Hillary in 08, my whole rationale was I didn't want the presidency to go Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton. That bothered me. I wanted new blood and a hopeful perspective, and I don't regret it one bit. But it was never because I thought Hillary's policy ideas, qualifications, or abilities were not consistent with my beliefs. Also, Hillary's campaign management in 08 wasn't nearly as good as it was in 16.

I care far more about substance than labels. Sanders' viewpoints reflect the beliefs of a significant portion of the Democratic base. He caucuses with the Democrats. He changed his party affiliation.

I don't see divorce at all. She's a trophy wife, always has been. She's paid to look pretty and be an ornament and status symbol in Trump's life. Why get divorced when they can just live their mostly separate lives and she can keep the money and the status and he can keep the illusion of being attractive to women? Seems to me like they've got a deal that works for both of them.

I'm actually mostly ok with Ivanka filling that role. We've had Presidents before the modern era who have had the First Lady role filled by a daughter or another female relative.

>And he manages to eat into Dunder Mifflin's profits by stealing all their clients in Season 5 (even though he can't run his own business well enough to take advantage of that). All of which indicates that he's actually a very savvy salesman, if incompetent at most other aspects of his job. This is sort of a misleading way to present that situation. Only through the magic of television was that situation able to play out the way it did. Michael wasn't a savvy businessman, his business was failing almost immediately. I agree that he's presented as having been a good salesman, but the only reason he was able to steal customers from Dunder Mifflin was that he was offering prices that were literally below-cost for him so he was undercutting Dunder Mifflin and taking a loss on all of the product he was selling. It wasn't a savvy sales technique, it was an unsustainable one that had they not wrote the terribly unbelievable buyout into the story would have resulted in his business failing and all of his customers leaving him. Pam somehow still needed to bad-mouth Phyllis to her customers though even with the unsustainable prices(that she didn't have enough time for her clients), which is bizarre because that's pretty much the sticking point throughout the show that they lose customers mostly when they are beat on price (or for not having a website) (except with Danny) as they try to sell themselves as having better support / service. >Even back in Season 3 it turns out they're doing better than Stamford, which is why they don't get closed down. Either you or I are remembering that episode wrong. I remember the manager there...Josh...uses the merger as leverage to get himself a management position at Staples and once he's out of the picture they swap which direction the merger happens. In Season 1 or 2 I also remember a scene in which Jan says Scranton had been consistently in 4th of the 5 branches she managed (Mike then makes a joke about being in the top 80% as if its a good thing which is how I remember that.) Overall though, it's difficult to analyze a sitcom on this level because over the course of season after season many inconsistencies in the characters are introduced for the sake of moving an episode's plot forward or to just enable a funny scene one of the writers came up with. It's primarily a comedy so small tweaks to the characters for the sake of the humor are very common. I'd agree you could certainly have more optimistic or positive framing of the character than I do, despite having multiple-watch throughs of the show I actually hate Michael in a love-hate sort of way. Steve Carrell did a fantastic job with the character, he's an amusing sort of aggravating.

We have to state the outcomes of Dem proposals plainly, in a mass-palatable way. "Donald Trump wants your money to go towards a wall when more Mexicans are leaving than coming in. Imagine, instead, never paying a dime for healthcare again. Imagine not worrying about how to make ends meet when you fall ill." "Americans want good, high-paying jobs. There are tens of thousands of jobs to be had in clean energy--but Trump's SOS is an Exxon Mobil CEO that wants to shackle Americans to his own assets. We can have good, healthy incomes while producing clean energy." "Your tax dollars are going to oil subsidies so Donald Trump's rich friends can get richer.

I'd argue for a slightly more optimistic view of Michael. As early as [Season 3](http://theoffice.wikia.com/wiki/Initiation) they have that bit where he secures a deal with an important client whilst on a sugar high on Pretzel Day. And he manages to eat into Dunder Mifflin's profits by stealing all their clients in Season 5 (even though he can't run his own business well enough to take advantage of that). All of which indicates that he's actually a very savvy salesman, if incompetent at most other aspects of his job. And of course they state several times that the Scranton branch is doing better than the company as a whole (which is why they send Michael on a [lecture circuit](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lecture_Circuit)), so he's not running the company into the ground or anything. Even back in Season 3 it turns out they're doing better than [Stamford](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branch_Closing), which is why they don't get closed down. Which leads me to the conclusion that Michael Scott is probably a better dealmaker than Donald Trump is. And now I'm worried again.

We did nothing wrong. We need to drop the responsible for everything narrative. They chose, they are responsible. They had access to everything we did and decided to hate than to trust.

I find it funny how all center-left democrats suddenly belive its their party. Its the same in social democratic parties in Europe. As long as people pay membership and vote for your party centrists dont complain but as soon as a radical dares to try to change the party they vote for then suddly we should quit whining.

I saw a story about a Philadelphia family that voted for trump whose family was detained because of the immigration bullshit trump is pulling. I keep reading stories about people who voted for Trump who might lose their healthcare etc because of bullshit Donald Trump is doing What the fuck are we doing wrong that we can't appeal to voters whose lives are actively made worse by voting for our competition and how in the fuck do we fix it

When Bernie apologizes for unsubstantiated claims of corruption against Hillary, I'll come over to his side. Until then, he can f*** off, and so can Brock, who seems like a serial apologist and opportunist. Bernie was treated with kid gloves and he and his supporters whined like babies.

Yeah. I think the most egregious cases of profit and greed are actually in the bible belt. In NYC, it's usually just really, really expensive to keep up a church and a vestry and do related community work, and pay your staff. Congregations are dwindling. I think these choices are made not really for profit in most cases, but out of necessity. I walk by these conversions and it still seems a little creepy to live in a church (*god is watching you eat that ben and jerrys*) but for the most part, they didn't want to give up that property but they had to.

Oof. I feel like at that point it should be painfully clear that the church isn't looking to grow so much as it is to just make money. There's a difference between expanding for a new youth room and leasing for bank.

I think you're right to be concerned about complacency and apathy. After all, that's what got us where we are today. We need to keep up the momentum - it ain't over till it's over. That being said, this is going to be a marathon, not a sprint. We need to have peak speed and stamina at least six months before the next election and up until election day. If we rally now but burn out in the months before the next election, then our elected officials will learn they can simply ride out public discontent and keep their seats no matter what.

I'm not saying that all churches wouldn't be able to handle a tax burden. What I am saying is that the majority of them (something like 60% of protestant churches have less than 100 attendees) aren't able to take on that additional expense. These aren't the kind of churches that are leasing out land as you said.

This is going to cause a huge rift in the GOP. Maybe. Probably not. They don't care. In any case, welcome to the axis of evil, America! Where the president derides our allies, his top adviser angles for war with China, a couple of his generals want to war with Iran, and sanctions on a dictatorship who invades neighboring countries are lifted so our Sec of State can make $$$

But a lot of churches profit inordinately from their tax exempt status (by developing land and collecting rents for instance, all with no tax burden). r/atheism has a lot of outrage on that.

Those concerns are valid, but I think so far, theres also some things to be optimistic about. Originally, I worried that the womens march would be a one time thing, with people falling into apathy for the next two (or worse, four) years. With initiatives like swingleft and Indivisible, there's atleast an attempt to harness the energy right from the beginning. Will the full motivation be sustained for the years to come? Probably not, but it might still be enough to keep up a respectable resistance effort.

Seriously. We need at least one party to continue adhering to the Constitution, otherwise the whole thing becomes meaningless. The Republicans are off the deep end, so it's up to the Democrats to defend. And keeping 9 on the Court defends those principles, so long as the nominee doesn't threaten our democracy--and I don't believe this guy does.

His feel good words are hollow. He better be ready to fly over at a moment notice to the next few countries his boss is going to yell at next. And prepare to get hammered from all his foreign counterparts for every action and every word that loudmouth Dunce vomits out. And have his suggestions dismissed with a tweet and his own efforts countered at a whim. He will never live up to the job as Clinton and Kerry have.
