ahahahahaha
that guy in the middle
he's the one who invited me to come with him
while he was waiting in line, I texted him saying that he should say that he voted for Trump in front of everyone
he texted back saying "no, no real life shitposting today"
I'm a little to the left, out of the frame of the picture
pics or it didnt happen
I see what you mean by real life shitposting now
its a convention full of dems
" One questioner asked if he would commit to calling Trump a fascist and white supremacist, rather than what the questioner asserted were euphemistic terms like “alt-right.” "
yeah, that's the ANTIFA guy who started off by saying he was HIV positive. LMAO at the article leaving that out
wtf
"“I’m not sure of the impact of the word ‘fascist,’” Nadler responded. “To some people, if you say ‘fascist,’ they just tune you out, they don’t listen to what you’re saying.”
When one woman shouted out, “But it’s true,” Nadler said, “Yes, it is true. But that’s not the only question. The goal is not to feel good about yourself because you said the truth. The goal is to stop what’s going on.”
Nadler did add, though, that “Donald Trump is the first major candidate in American politics, in recent decades, that I think really deserves to be called a fascist.” "
yeah, I remember all this happening now
I forgot quite a bit of what he said
I still remember the guy saying he was HIV positive though
That moment when real life and satire are indistingusiable
Is this like the typical leftist gathering
@Swamp Killer I actually haven't been to enough events to compare things
remember, this event is nominally neutral
and I'd say many of the people who went there aren't necessarily leftists in the sense of being ANTIFA types
So they were mroe centrist
but most are definitely Democrats
many of the Hillary type, who look down on Sanderistas
Wait why do the hillary type look down on sander's people
remember, New York went to Hillary in the primaries, though that was partly because a lot of Sanders' fans weren't registered Democrats, and you had to be a registered Democrat to vote in the primary
@Swamp Killer Many Hillary supporters, particularly those from affluent urban areas like Manhattan (where rent is easily $5000 a month), are neoliberals who are fine with capitalism and free trade, think Sanders lives in la-la land and is for unkempt losers
the Democratic Party has been another party for the rich since the 1990s, when Bill Clinton and his neoliberalism took over
Manhattan in particular is full of those types
So Berie Sanders was too socialist for them
since he appealed to younger college ppl
NYC went to Hillary in the primaries, but upstate New York was heavily Sanders
yeah
5k rent a month?
holy shit
i thought it was bad down here
Manhattan isn't for populists
@Swamp Killer yeah, Manhattan is the most expensive place in the USA
