You're smart enough to know that even if you don't remember it doesn't mean it never happened. Just google search "Hillary Clinton Outsider"and you're bound to find video clip, articles, etc.Worgen said:
The point of argument is simple really.. Hilary couldn't win because her campaign wasn't strong enough to overcome her political baggage. Donald Trump ran more effective campaign and won despite the sexism, racism and other isms. There really is nothing to argue about.

I don't think he "won" because he ran a stronger campaign. If anything he showed how unstable he was through the entire thing. I think that just didn't matter to a lot of people. Every now and then people want an outsider, they get tired of people who they see as part of the establishment and will vote for anyone who looks like they aren't part of the problem. Spoiler, it doesn't tend to work out. Carter was an outsider and hes considered one of the worst presidents we had in a lot of circles.mysecondlife said:
Interestingly too, Hillary had a ton of lies circulating about her also. I know someone who is profoundly alt right so I ended up seeing a decent number of those. Like Hillary was deathly ill and would die, or that the election was rigged against trump, or that she was actually a secret muslim. Yeah they got weird but it kinda worked against Obama.
I don't think he ran a strong campaign. But I do think his campaign was really effective in dismantling his opponents. Hence my word choice. Worked against Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz and finally Hillary Clinton.Worgen said:
What was it he said how Suda 51 began? One time it was the 51st attempt to bio-engineer the quirkiest auteur game designer, and another time it was a pseudonym like "Alan Smithee".Johnny Novgorod said:
You know, it is a bit funny. I remember how I used to be saddened by how Yahtzee would tear a second one on a game I had looked forward to, and going all "but, but, but...!" when he generalized whole groups of people to an unfair degree, just because they happened to identify with a game. Given how long forum threads those reviews would cause I think it's safe to say I wasn't alone in those feelings. Nowadays I've learnt to have a more distanced approach both to the games I'm interested in and Yahtzee's reviews. He is after all just a man in a funny hat who has his own preferences and opinions, and his opinion is just that: his opinion. And I shouldn't tie any identity to a game: just be aware that a game has flaws but it can still be worthy of love.
Judging by what people actually respond to nowadays it seems I'm not alone in this approach. The majority of the posts seem more interested in talking about the very brief political jab at the end than anything else in the review. One of the few things worthy of actually tying one's identity to, since that fundamentally is about how one thinks society should be run, a lot more important than if a game is good or not.

Nah, I can understand your political bias and detesting of Trump - I'm no fan of the prick, myself - but to say that Hillary ran a good campaign that ended with failing to defeat a man who was caught on tape arrogantly bragging about how he likes to go around grabbing women in their nethers is just silly. If Hillary had truly run a good campaign, then the notion of her being the historic First Female President alone would have been enough to easily sail her right into the White House.Worgen said:
That she couldn't become the first female president while running against a man who was a proven sexist (or at least the very least never shied away from making blatantly sexist comments) says a lot about her failings as a candidate. :^)
So...Umm... Basically what the point is it's alright for the soulsborne peeps to have a blast at till it starts threatening your wallet. This is from a tightarse poor person who also somehow appreciates the soulsborne design. And when I have the option of playing between Bloodborne and Let it Die, I'll let you guess which is the more enticing. Yes, one is free, but damnit, my time is finite!
In his No More Heroes review, he's the 51st clone in an experiment to create "the world's most auteur game designer" (a joke he repeats in No More Heroes 2).Darth_Payn said:
No comment in his Shadows of the Damned review.
In Lollipop Chainsaw Yahtze compares him to a friend on a perpetual drug trip, whose career you follow "because he might hurt himself or do something really funny". And here's where he starts saying Suda's trying too hard.
In Killer is Dead, he's "some kind of mythical pixie" akin to the Tooth Fairy who visits game developers at night (after being tucked in by their moms) to bestow their games with an "anarchic post-punk sensibility" by sprinkling "Morrissey's tears" on them.
In Let It Die he's just a guy named after his license plate.
I forget where he made the Alan Smithee reference (maybe in a Let's Drown Out?).

What you don't seem to understand is that the campaign against Hillary has been going since the late 90s. The fact she won the popular vote by a decent amount shows that even with all that trump only managed to win by an outdated system. She ran a good campaign, if she didn't then he wouldn't be whining about illegal votes in cali.RJ 17 said:
It's quite simple, really. She lost, therefor she's a failure. That she won the popular vote just means that "the campaign that's been going against her since the late 90s" had little to no impact, were it truly a factor then she would have lost in a landslide.Worgen said:
Blame the electoral college system, blame the people of the nation, blame the crappy government that has utterly alienated itself from the population it represents thus fostering a deep-seeded anger towards the political class (thereby prompting the desire for an "outsider" to lead), but the fact remains that no matter how you gussy it up: she failed to convince enough people that she would be better for this country than an orange-haired egotistical baboon who starts Twitter fights with anyone who criticizes him.
I'm sorry my friend, but no matter how you slice it: if you can't win against that guy, you're a failure.
Pro Establishment as in she has been backed by large corporations & banks.Worgen said:
The thing is Hillary was going reflect the views of 0.1% compared to Bernie who had a grass roots movement.

Part of that deal was Debbie Wasserman Schultz who helped screw over Bernie Sanders.

I was referring to the fact that Bernie won the majority of counties but Hillary only needed NYC.

Sounds like you can't tell the difference between independent media like TYT & Main Stream Media like CNN.L377UC3 said:

Beyond all of that Bernie Sanders continues to fight for us via ourrevolution.com.
Unlike Hillary who might not until she can pretend in 2020.
