Always men's fault when some purposely all-female-to-make-a-point movie flops. As this guy points out, women are half the population, why aren't they showing up to support shit like Birds of Prey? If being able to identify with the characters on screen is such an important thing to these IdPol filmmakers, why are they shocked that an all-female, explicitly feminist film isn't going over well with the core male audience for comic book movies?
Probably also didn't help that the director is a literal nobody.

Can't listen to the audio (and probably won't because I don't watch capeshit anyways), but I just skipped around and saw the tweet where the Conway guy says "The result was a complete desexualizing of Harley in 'Birds' -- so much so that we see her in baggy overalls or baggy pajamas, etc", lmao. Harley Quinn was sexualized even in the Y7-rated 90s cartoon series. Reminds me of some image I've seen somewhere on 4chan where they show Spiderman with a big shapely butt in a skintight suit, and some chick hero in what should be a skintight suit but somehow is still saggy and flat. Trying their damnedest to fight human biological imperatives.

Clearly I hadn't been following Warren close enough. Reparations for gay couples? Having a young trans person interview her secretary of education nominee before giving them the job? Gender non-binary people are the backbone of the US democracy? Whew lad she's a nutjob.

Did you forget about Billy "rape the women, put blacks in prison" Clinton?

Eins still mad that Dems have more hurtful policies than what this doofus has done in office. Hilarious
Can't wait for Bernie to get super delegated again

Of course I didn’t forget; but I was 7 when he was elected, and 11 when he was re-elected. This reminder of Clinton’s behaviors does nothing to weaken my resolve against Trump’s actively horrifying policies along the border and in airports that are impacting my friends and colleagues who have family overseas, in Central America and the Middle East.
I didn’t have a say in Clinton. I have a say now.
You’re not wrong that the democrats have hurtful policies, but what you’re saying is just absurd.

What are Trump's domestic policies that are worse than say stop and frisk or strike three / heavy jailing for minor offensives

He’s instituted things that are as bad (and stop and frisk was a local policy, not federal). The treatment of families along the border is demonstrably barbaric and unethical. His stripping of environmental policies that go back to the 1970 clean water act (and others) are an obscene affront to environmental progress in this country, and will have devastating impacts on local (mostly low-income) communities.
He’s actually released some African Americans from prison, but he’s done nothing regarding the act of arrest and prosecution. Basically, he wants black people to keep getting arrested so that he can release some of them and look like he’s doing good things for the African American community. The better course of action would be to implement policies for police and prosecutors, but then he’ll lose law enforcement votes.

Are you asking Ein to answer for Bloomberg? He was literally a republican during his term as mayor.

I’d forgotten about that. Bloomberg is Trump in reverse—rather than flipping from democrat to republican, he flipped from republican to democrat.
Although Trump has been a political chameleon since the ‘80. He has no convictions or allegiances, and he’ll do whatever is most politically convenient at any given time. He is an establishment politician without the establishment credentials. It still makes me laugh that people see him as some kind of outsider who will “drain the swamp.”

What about Barrack "build the cages, deport cheap laborers" Obama?
Not really no.
It makes me laugh that you think this is a unique critique and can't just be applied to most politicians in general. Walkback Warren for example.
It's a good point, but now Democrats expect voters to just #believe he's no longer the same guy, which is absurd and necessarily means Democrats will have to mount defenses of the things he did as mayor.

I think it sucked. But if we’re comparing the two, it’s really not a contest.
Oh. Ok then.
I think it can be; but people need to acknowledge that Trump is no different and explain why they don’t care when he changes his mind on something.
Trump voters misperceive Trump as someone who circumvents political scheming, when he’s as big a schemer as the Clintons. It’s pure rhetoric that’s allowed him to avoid criticism from his supporters.
Are you kidding? Did you see the video I posted? Democratic voters are hardly letting Bloomberg off the hook, they’re calling him out left and right.

I'm not making it a contest, just pointing out some rapists, racists and xenophobes who have held office in our lifetime.
Oh. Ok then.
Well he's not. Unless you're defining "establishment politician" as anybody literally working within the establishment? For one he totally undermines political decorum that establishmentarians so value.
Dumb shit like this does your argument no favours.
No shit, that's not what I'm saying. I said voters will be expected to believe he's changed, and that Democrats (as in politicians and insiders) will have to play defense for his past because the alternative would be to throw him under the bus and tank his campaign (which would undermine their goal that supersedes all else: #DumpTrump).
