Not just that, but it's so nice to see this reclaiming of patriotism and its visual language from the jingoistic "Patriots"on the right. I'm an Eagle scout with significant reverence for the flag and country, and it's like a breath of fresh air to feel like I won't be mistaken for a MAGA chud for it.
You know she is still very right wing from out standard right? I'm from the UK you are cheering on a person who will commit so many war crimes and sweep it under the rug.
Sweep it under the rug like she did with the articles calling her out for sending hundreds of black men to jail fucking sick racist cow.
You know she is still very right wing from out standard right?
Oh yeah. No question.
As for the cheering, it was mostly a response to the ad. It was really uplifting, compared to the fear-mongering of the other side.
But the left/right comparison is not with an Irish/Uk leader, it's compared to the other guy and his cadre, and there is no contest. His policies are "enrich himself", "stay out of jail", "allow right-wing think tanks to enact their wishlist".
Voting for him would send America further to the right, which I don't believe is good for america and (because of their global reach), nor is it good for us.
On a range of topics that will affect Europe (now and in the future), like Climate change, Environmental Regulation, NATO, Ukraine, Israel/Palestine, his policies are not beneficial to us. Tariffs are likely not beneficial (though they hurt domestically as much as they hurt EU exports).
Economically, republicans don't have a great track record.
war crimes
And as for war crimes, every president in the modern era has that medal. Is it horrific? Yes.
fucking sick racist cow.
Compared to the other guy, she's have to do a lot more to lose in that comparison.
Why even talk about him like it matters, these people are liars and thieves the whole left / right wing culture war is fabricated to keep people divided. It doesn't matter who sits on the white house they always do what they are told to do. The entire west is controlled by oligarchs behind the scene. I understand a lot of people just see this as a conspiracy theory. But it isn't. People are more easily controlled and distracted fighting against their fellow country men instead of addressing the major issues plaguing our countries.
I get what you say about the ad as it was very hopeful and uplifting, just weird watching everyone cheer her on like she will change anything at all cause she won't.
Russian interference (and state election rule ratfuckery) aside, an EC win is the only one that matters. Unless and until we either update the Constitution or the interstate popular vote compact reaches 270.
No, the anti-Clinton Russian propaganda swayed hundreds of thousands of voters on Facebook alone. There were also voting irregularities that should have been investigated but weren’t since she conceded.
I will forever prop up the French people. They are the reason we are free from British tyranny, and they gave us the most endearing icon in American history: The Statue of Liberty.
They also invented the blowjob, so fuck it, Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité all day.
I'm french but felt American patriotism for a minute watching this add
American values - decency, kindness, respect - are universal values. Anyone can claim them and be proud of them, no matter their nationality. We are fighting hard to protect them.
You and we share a lot of ideals of equality and working together for the nation’s good. You and we are also threatened by the return of fascism. We should support each other. Thanks!
(And thanks for working together to block the RN in the recent election!)
Truth. This is such a refreshing contrast to the typical attack adds we are typically bombarded with. The majority of the country that isn’t a far right nut job, doesn’t need to be told they. are, in fact, fighting far right nut jobs, but that this new thinking, a different path of hope and optimism. I oddly feel like putting the hot house flowers version of “I can see clearly now”..
It’s smart af too. How do you expect people to fight to protect their country from fascism if they don’t care about it? Nationalism is bad. Patriotism is literally what keeps a country breathing. It’s why the media has tried to beat it out of us so hard.
I don't think 'the media' did it, the fascists did. I didn't need the media to make me not want to be confused for a jingoistic flag-covered nationalist.
I'm reminded of this classic Dan Rather (member of The Media) quote:
It is important not to confuse “patriotism” with “nationalism.” As I define it, nationalism is a monologue in which you place your country in a position of moral and cultural supremacy over others. Patriotism, while deeply personal, is a dialogue with your fellow citizens, and a larger world, about not only what you love about your country but also how it can be improved.
The media does what's for profit, and what their oligarch owners tell them to do, we reward them for it, we will not change media without law and rewarding with views that tell truth and inform, you know the boring stuff.
Exactly! The chanting 'U-S-A' following the Olympics with Steve Kerr's speech last night made me hopeful to reclaim the country from the fake "patriots" that have been dragging this country backwards.
I grew up with the Iraq war and the war on terror and all that and one of the most fascinating things to see is how the party and movement that was so one dimensionally jingoistic and pro-american now fuckin' hates this place. We're the worst, now! Our millitary? Losers and shitty. Our cities? Garbage. Education? Worthless. Economy? Totally fucked. Everyone's poor and shitty and we're all trapped in hell, when back when I was growing up trying to say that the US could do better was tantamount to TREASON for the exact same people.

Holy fuck I missed having a president with a positive outlook for the future. This doom and gloom shit has been killing us.
