What the heck? What's the logic on that? People pointing out bad candidates is why they lost? Like seriously how on earth do you blame the weather man for the rain?
Seriously though I point out that blindly refusing to interact with conversation that makes people uncomfortable means not being prepared and the response was that this caused large standing issues with the governmental bodies that have been plaguing this country for longer than a single election?
2016 wasn't the sole deciding factor and everyone is being very emotional and really fucking stupid in here. The push to volunteer is a really good one but doesn't just make up for the idea that people talking are the issue. The share of ideas and push for betterment is necessary and sticking fingers I your ears and blindly blaming anyone that tries to point it out makes you just as fucking blind and ignorant as the people you call lesser.
It's really fucking pathetic. It's like being mad at a doctor who tells you to stop eating sugar cause you are diabetic.
Real simple. I could shut up and you would see no change. Just not hear the conversation about it directly. If you think I or any of the tiny percentage of the real world impact the Internet has is gonna be the changing factor you are incorrectly assuming and overconfidently ascribing power to what happens here. In this fraction of a fraction of a percentage.
Good luck with that prank though. Sounds like a banger of an own.
How long ago were you first legally allowed to purchase alcohol?
And it was mostly Facebook ads. Really misunderstanding what the dangerous part of the Internet is. Not the discussion space.
We are all already polarized and in our lanes here. And stop being age-ist. We are all in this together.
I didn’t mean it to be ageist, it’s just contextual. In the same way that I cannot see an American younger than gen y understanding what the world was like pre-9/11 past an academic level, I can’t see someone younger than 15 in 2016 truly understanding the spontaneous change in the internet in the year preceding the election. It was so tumultuous that, and this is was remarkable to watch in real-time, conspiracy theorists completely flipped across party lines. It literally flipped the crazy script. I admit that I should have phrased it differently, though, and I apologize for that.
