When will Hillary Clinton give up her candidacy ? Part 2

I used to look up to you [blatham], much more than you would guess. Now I look on you as being a sheep for the fleecing.

If [Trump] genuinely loses this thing, he's going to concede it. The fact they're out there trying to tell people that he won't accept defeat no matter what is again, another attempt to taint the guy.

Then we'll also note that nobody anywhere in the mainstream media (or anywhere else that I've noticed) has said what Limbaugh is claiming has been said.

I used to look up to you, much more than you would guess. Now I look on you as being a sheep for the fleecing. But I don't hold it against you. You are doing what you believe in. I feel sad more than anything else, more and more with each election cycle.

Not true, Limbaugh is saying that media is making much of Trump's saying he would not necessarily concede defeat on Election Day,

Said from a poster who has spent the last three months agreeing with Lash, a conservative who has pretended to be an ultra progressive so she could incessantly slam the Democrats' strongest candidate, Hillary, seemingly from the Left. Using all the Republicans' arguments.

You're the only regular poster on here who hasn't seen through it. And you're complaining about other posters being gullible?

Interesting proclivity here to damn others for association and the implied betrayal of the standard groupthink.

Finally, let me point out that we've just had our first black president, elected twice and now with approval ratings exceeding Reagan and reaching what Bill Clinton had at this point. And now you're about to have the first female president. These over-arching facts tell us, I think, that something very good indeed is happening in American politics, society, and culture.

What is so "over-arching" about the group identity stuff you are promoting? My experience has consistently been that individual differences are generally greater and more real than those among the group assumptions and stereotypes behind your "over-arching" nonsense. Indeed our Democracy is based on the consent of individuals, not groups.

When will Canada elect a Black or Female Premier? Perhaps you have some work to do in your own country.

No, just a rational reaction to seeing a poster who pushed conservative talking points for over a decade suddenly-at the start of a Presidential campaign year-turning around, claiming to be a born-again progressive, and spending the rest of the campaign year bashing the Democrats' strongest candidate incessantly using conservative talking points. Not hard to see through, and everyone except Edgar has done so.

You can infer that I have learned from experience that the important differences among people are their individual traits, abilities, talents and behaviors, not those associated with the supposed group identities imposed on them by the diversity theologians.

I believe Martin Luther King had something to say about judging people by the content of their characters as well.

You don't speak for "everyone" and you aren't sitting in judgment of Lash, Edgar or anyone else here.

He speaks for several of us when he says Lash's political chameleon act has been noticed and deemed dubious. And we judge each other here all day, every day.

I didn't interpret his words at all : I merely repeated them. As to the rest, the synthesis of many cultural elements is a long-standing observable fact of Amrican life. That isn't at issue here.
