There are 100's of tv channels. 1,000's of video game titles. 1,000,000's of websites. And a deep well of literature, music and art in general to peruse. There are enough shitshows to watch already. We don't need to live in one.

Democracy doesn't work in the internet/social media era. It's too easy for plebs to think "WOAH you know who would make a great governor? MICKEY MOUSE!" and then meme it into existence on Facebook/Twitter/4chan. This shit may be amusing now to some people now but it won't be in 2030 when the economy tanks because Young Jeezy is President Kanye's chief economic advisor.

Democrats have moved left of late, however. Trump's election is in large part a symptom of the rejection of this (particularly the anti-white rhetoric) American political leftism which presently manifests in the Democrat party and above all in the news media and universities.

I know that you want to think that you're so smart and worldly for distinguishing between the categories of leftism and liberalism, in their classical and international senses, as opposed to their specific American contexts, but at present it doesn't amount to anything, and we know it. In the appropriate sphere of discourse - American politics - Democrats, liberals, and the left are sufficiently overlapping categories that it is as well to lump them all together.

I want an actual progressive democrat candidate instead of these fuckin centrist democrats that would be running as conservatives if they were placed in any other first world coutnry

>>74119599
I hate this country.

>>74119871
to be fair he didn't become the governor when he was pumping iron in LA. He epitomized the American dream. Came here as an immigrant, went to a community college, got a university degree, and became and a citizen. He was politically active for a while and eventually ran for office and won. Did his fame have some influence in people's decision? No doubt, but I still wouldn't compare his election to say if Kanye became president.

>>74120145
It's not retarded if it means neoliberals die.

>>74120171
>moved
No, they haven't, don't, and will not MOVE anywhere. They simply change their rhetoric and try to sell their core neoliberal philosophies to others. The Democrat Party needs to be burnt to the ground like Grenfell Tower, preferably with all their major donors and hacks inside.
>American politics
Literally kill yourself for letting two private corporations tell you how to think and for trying to co-opt leftism to your sick neoliberal ends. Get out and stay out.

Yeah but this has gone past left vs right and turned into career politicians vs average joes who appeal to the Kardashian generation. I mean say what you wish about Trump but at the very least he was a highly educated person who has decades of experience managing a multi national organization which generated billions of dollars in revenue yearly. With Kid Rock, we're talking about some guy who literally dropped out of middle school and got famous by making shitty rap rock. Just watch, the left is going to respond in kind by running some meme rapper or something and once he wins, we're going to be headed down a path of no return which ends in idiot meme politicians running all levels of the US political system.

Why do you think this guy has been getting hyped up as some incredible leader and humanitarian? If Kid Rock can win a senate race in Michigan, do you think he couldn't win a mayoral race Chicago? This is going to be our future.

>>74120171
See I disagree. For me it would be more appropriate to say that within the context of American politics there currently is no left wing mainstream presence. At least in the sense of a viable party, with individuals like Sanders or Tulsi Gabbard being exceptions. Even then these people are continuously silenced by the corporate arm of the parties they are supposed members of.

Is America officially just a meme country?

Why can't this all leftist rejection be accomplished with educated and experienced politicians though? There are plenty of clean cut, intelligent, successful (in business, politics etc) and respectable right wing individuals. Why not one of them instead of Kid Rock?

>>74120297
Finally, someone who understands politics as something other than sportsball. Tulsi's no leftist, though. She just happens to be a bit less hawkish than the rest of the party. Bernie isn't even part of the Democrat Party, so his actual left-of-centerness doesn't even speak to the Party for which he was selected as literally nothing more than a PR agent and a sham candidate.

No, you might be thinking of Ted Nugent. At worst, Kid Rock has made some subtle dog whistle type statements but he is also a former rapper so it's not like black people are foreign to him.

I would sit alone at recess, close to the teachers because they will literally attack you for no reason, and sitting next to the teachers was the only safe place. If we were too far away from them, they'll just ignore it because the teachers don't pay attention unless you're literally sitting right under their nose.
I never walked home, because they love to follow people and gang up on the way home from school. I was jumped 4-1 when I was in 7th grade and stabbed with a pen on the way home.

It's a protest vote, simple as that. I'm from an area that voted for trump 9-1 and almost everyone will tell you they're just sick of career politicians. Granted I can't think of a worse candidate than kid rock but maybe if these senators have to worry about losing their jobs to celebrities and actors then they'll actually try to do their jobs.

Percentage of population
There are like 50 million whites in America and 2 million Muslims or something like that, but a far greater proportion of those Muslims are terrorists, so it's more likely that when you encounter a Muslim they have terrorist sympathies.

>>74121259
That's fucking racist to say. Blacks IQ and testosterone isn't any different from any other race. These are all environmental differences and social constructs. Blacks aren't a fucking animal subspecies in a zoo needing to be studied.

Oh, please. The mainstream democratic party has no particular message and nothing to actually attract voters beyond lame platitudes. If they actually ran on a platform, any platform, they'd start winning again. Your bullshit about "universities" and "the media" is just you being easily snowed by conservative propaganda.

Because those types are exactly the types who usually want to ingratiate themselves with leftist culture, such as it exists in America (it's not fuuun not to be able to go to dinner parties in Washington, honey!) When the Cathedral is totally left, at least insofar as the term means anything in America (which is the point of all this, and putting the lie to this autistic screeching >>74120242 ), and occupies the bulk of intellectual endeavor by its definition on-paper, the remaining opposition is, to use that favorite word, "marginalized".

Or on the other hand, perhaps I've made the mistake of accepting your frame, but let's think. There are at least four examples: Schwarzenegger, Reagan, Trump, and now potentially Kid Rock (Jesse Ventura was another dark horse). Readers are savvy enough to see that the point is the "Idiocratization of American politics", and then they're free to take positions up and down the stretch of that idea, oh fuck it let's try it, oh me how horrible.

For me, it was the transgender issue, way back in 2011. I thought a "woman with a penis" was the most ridiculous thing I had ever heard, and it flies in the face of reality and science. I said that denying reality because of your "feelings" makes you no different from the religious people that you argue with. They didn't like that very much. Somebody literally took a screenshot of me saying that on Facebook, emailed it to my boss, and tried to get me fired over a fucking opinion. After that, I was pretty much done. It all snowballed from there. I started realizing how stupid all of it is.

I hate democrats just as much as I hate you, porky. Here's the thing though: Your system is owned by corporate elites who put on a puppet show between Red vs. Blue team to entertain the masses and give them an illusion of choice with their goofy sports-like bread and circus show. If we want to gain true power, we have to infiltrate from within and play the game. We march through the institutions and dismantle the establishment from within. This is the left's playbook.

That's exactly the wrong way to do it, son. This system is designed since 1789 to preserve an oligarchy. If your plan worked, wouldn't it have after 100 years? Instead we have idpol neoliberals running the show and maintaining control of the ticket because they own the field and the game and the reporters and everything else about it.

I'm on the right generally speaking and I totally agree. Right wing or left wing, populism gives people an inflated sense of self worth and that's a dangerous things. I don't know how we'd go backwards on voting rights though and I don't really think we can base it on things like gender or race anymore. It'd be great if people had to go to college to vote and there was like a designated underclass of people who didn't go to school because they didn't want to because there were well paying jobs for people like that. If you could make 40k as a retail worker or janitor and all you'd have to do is not vote I bet a lot of people would jump on that. Fuck I would. I don't give a fuck. Why do I want to be the person who has to have all the answers? Let me mop up the floors and then drink and smoke weed all day. What a great life.

we don't have to worry about it americans have guns and don't want communism. THAT will never change

>don't want communism

they must, subconsciously, because electing Trump was the end of the GOP as we know it 2018 will be a bloodbath

You're essentially supporting Jim Crow. All historical instances of limiting suffrage have lead to the political repression of the groups unable to vote. This is a real bad idea.

why so sure?

People are free to destroy their country in the name of ironic humour

>>74123066
are you sure? because thanks to the abolition of these ''jim crow voting laws'', we have Donald Trump as President and Kid Rock leading a hypothetical to become a US Senator.

>he hates freedom
die pinko scum

>I voted for X
>not because I agree with his/her policies, but just to make people mad

Is this the "I was just pretending to be retarded" of voting stances?

Jim Crow voting laws were intended to and largely effective at preventing black people from voting. Since an overwhelming majority of black people vote Democrat I would not say abolition of Jim Crow laws contributed in any significant way to the election of Donald Trump.

None of this is happening in any country in Europe. This is such a quintessentially American post. Outside of /int/ and /sp/ you can always spot the Americans because they're the ones talking about "muslim invasion" this "white genocide" that. Funny you care so much about your rich heritage when you all have the blood of people from 8 different countries. What a watered down, generic thing American nationalism is.

I like immigration, but then again I'm in Canada and we never start shit so no wonder we assimilate our muslims well. Most muslim immigrants become whitewashed in a generation anyway. I have a Somali friend who has dreads and skateboards and listens to skater punk. Its like, you go into their country, bomb their homes, and you expect them to assimilate when they are already pissed off about the whole situation, and they don't even want to be there. This backlash from Muslims is sort of justified.

>be American
>do anything we want to the rest of the world
>they prick us
>we kill and/or enslave entire generations of foreigners

Honesty this is just penis envy, isn't it? Tell the truth.
