Qassändra

Even at our lowest, still able to expend the last remains of our energy to shade the Lib Dems.

OMG finally good news

Don't hold your breath.

Give it two weeks and the narrative will go the other way again.

Yep, that's definitely a reason to vote for a white supremacist :manson:

I'm pretty sure anything you think could trap him into apoplexy would just get a stream of invective about the bias and lies of the media. If it was that easy, he'd have been stopped by now.

Loving the name MARPLE AND HYDE *.*

HEY I'VE GOT THE BIGGEST BUILDING NOW in the middle of a terrorist atrocity when 3,000 have just died is a bit disrespectful, yeah.

I don't really get the claims of cowardice though. What does he avoid now that he wouldn't have avoided by staying as MP? People are still going to have a go regardless when Brexit hits.

The problem is that regardless of the veracity, by going as exact as £4,300 per family people understandably thought 'how on earth have you come to such a precise figure when we don't know how big the effect could be and what deal we could get?'. I think they should've given a range.

I still have the feeling being quite so precise with how much each family would lose from Brexit is what did him in.

no

The point of discussion that someone having a bout of pneumonia should in any way disqualify them from the role of presidency is deeply immoral, yes. Not least when we're talking about someone who is running against an actual sociopath. I'm not sure how saying 'people are discussing it' invalidates that point. I'm saying the people discussing the point are cunts. Full blown cunts. Terrible people. People who really need a bullet in the tits for even considering the false equivalence that someone having a lung condition could therefore be a worse option for the presidency than a man who is an open racist and narcissist without a care for how his disgusting words, actions and policies affect the lives of women, immigrants and people of colour. They deserve to rot for perpetuating this utter fucking nonsense for the sake of a few media talking points. The sooner this election is over, the better.

So extremely popular he finished behind someone who's apparently the most hated and flawed candidate of all time by 3 million votes, before anybody even paid attention to his laughable and disqualifying tax proposals. Some impressive candidate. And yes, most candidates tend to start on about 2 percent of the vote if they haven't flagged their intention of running in advance. I'm questioning the very logical basis of people claiming this makes things 'far from rosy'. We don't fire CEOs for being ill. People get ill. It is a thing that happens. Nobody else would be getting these claims that coming down with an illness after a year of solid campaigning makes them in any way unsuitable for the presidency. Particularly when they're running against an OPEN FUCKING FASCIST! I mean I know I'm seeming a little unhinged right now, but it's mostly in disbelief at just how utterly immoral everyone has to be for this to even be a point of discussion.

Except she isn't losing? And on what basis is it *not* utter sexism to judge that a bout of pneumonia in any way disqualifies a female candidate from office but proposing the largest tax increase in history across virtually all income levels (i.e. AN ISSUE PEOPLE ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT in a nation where over 60% already feel their taxes are too high, where most also recognise that YES, PEOPLE GET ILL SOMETIMES, WE DON'T FIRE CEOs OR SAY THEY CAN'T DO THEIR JOBS JUST BECAUSE THEY GET ILL) wouldn't do the same for a male candidate, who's *older* to boot? It's completely different standards of judgement. It's disgusting. You people are literally to the end looking for any slight insignificant reason to hand this to a fucking mediocrity of a man.

She's spent the last nine months almost solidly campaigning on 12-16 hour days. Do you know a single thing of just how gruelling the schedule is of someone running for president? It's more than you've likely ever done in a day's work. Why, because she had a coughing fit and fainted...when she had pneumonia? It's not as if this is a long-running issue. Yes, because LITERALLY NO MALE EVER GETS THIS LEVEL OF SCRUTINY OR CLAIMS THAT SMALL THINGS LIKE THIS ARE DISQUALIFYING. WHAT PART OF THAT DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND YOU ABSOLUTE FREAK

THANK YOU!

It's because of this exact reaction that she concealed it - because sexist pigs like you act like a bout of pneumonia at 68 makes a woman unfit for the presidency. Yes! Coughing happens when you have pneumonia! :manson: Jesus christ just do the world a favour and take a running jump.

Yeah, if you continue to attack someone for stuff that men are traditionally given a free pass on, it's still sexist.

Yep.

Because the things that spread pneumonia aren't transmitted by hugging? :manson:

You know VERY STRANGELY I haven't had it so bad in recent years? I get post-Melodifestivalen depression a bit more actually. This year it was all over and done with in a day or two, whereas about 5/6 years ago I'd be feeling it for a good fortnight. Nonetheless I would heartily recommend throwing yourself into the oldies as a recovery technique *.*

Oh fuck off you absolute weapon.

Also, the massive irony here is that everyone's just fucking spent the last year insisting that Hillary's so terrible that almost anybody would be a better candidate for the Democrats. You have the ultimate middle of the road Democratic VP candidate in Tim Kaine. You would think everyone who's apparently so desperate for Trump not to win but at the same time quite desperate that it all goes wrong for Hillary would be *welcoming* the fact she's apparently 'on the verge of death' then, wouldn't you? If it means they get the inoffensive Democratic president they wanted all along? Oh, it's almost as if it's nothing to do with her 'massive health issues', is it?

...27 degrees is not a mild temperature and 40 degrees is incredibly hot by most of the world's standards? I'm not even countenancing this conversation. You're a moron.
