Because I ' ve been waiting three hours in a queue to do a simple errand validate my family information uu <| sep |>. and destroy yourself in the process . <| sep |> OP is Spez <| sep |> Can ' t . I ' m using a laptop and I was trying to unplug something and the power cord to my monitor yanked it and it fell over cracking the screen . That ' s why I said I ' m looking for a new one . <| sep |> Fiat , why . You are being silly . Not that I would not buy one if I had the money . <| sep |> If it doesn ' t work you can always use the cordUh uh I mean me too thanks <| sep |> I think that the more the left focuses on the things that are actually serious regardless of your politicslike corruption , like policies that are selfdirected , that kind of stuffthat will have more of an impact than just going around shouting , Racist , racist , racist ! I think one of the big problems here is that if you called Mitt Romney a racist in 2012 as Bill Maher said , if you turned it all the way up to 11 for Mitt Romneyit ' s very difficult for people to hear you when you turn it up to 12 for Trump . Did that actually happen ? IIRC , back in the early days of the 2012 campaign , Mitt Romnkey was generally regarded as the least objectionable Republican candidate . He seemed like a moderate Republican who supported public healthcare and was capable of working with Democrats and negotiating compromises . He seemed like someone who wouldn ' t fuck everything up if he got elected or at least someone who wouldn ' t fuck things up as badly as the other Republican candidates . Everyone was worried about Rick Santorum because he was a raging homophobe , everyone was worried about Ron Paul because of his awful libertarian economic policies , nobody liked Newt Gingrich because he was the poster boy for everything terrible about nineties Republicans . There was immense relief when he defeated Santorum in the primaries . IIRC , the three things that got the left to start worrying about about Romney were his opposition to Obamacare , his 47 % comment , and his choice of the Tea Party ' s Paul Ryan as his running mate . Together , those three things completely shredded his reputation as a moderate Republican capable of compromise . After all of that , he was perceived as an old , rich , out of touch white guy who ' d say anything to get elected you can see some examples of that attitude in the We don ' t believe you ! SNL skit . . IIRC , before Trump , the last time the left turned it up to eleven and shouted Racist ! Racist ! Racist ! , it wasn ' t directed at Romney , it was directed at the Birthers .
