ddalzqg | t1_ddafsr0 | t3_5rtl3r | hillaryclinton | moseybjones | From fellow attendees as well as non-attendees, there were a lot of complaints that it wasn't as inclusive as it could have been. Some felt there was a line drawn between the pro-choice crowd and the pro-choice-but-very-much-personally-pro-life crowd. Some say it wasn't inclusive of sex workers, trans folks, and probably some other groups.
Side note, I guess, but as a guy who attended in DC, I felt pretty included. So it certainly wasn't "anti-man" or anything. Overall it was very friendly. I didn't hear many people ostracizing each other. The most I heard was in reference to the signs of Trump and Putin kissing--people were uncomfortable with the idea that it seemed to demonize homosexuality. But no one took it out on the people who made the signs.
You could say that the unofficial "funniest sign" contest that happens at every rally detracts from the message, or softens the severity of the situation. But that's not specific to the Women's March. | false | low | 112 |

ddakifc | t1_ddaizoy | t3_5rstni | hillaryclinton | Rakajj | First off, people are responsible for the consequences of their actions regardless of whether or not the consequence was intended. The Liberals that were happy were happy because they didn't understand the email issue in the first place, the FBI at no point had presented any evidence of mens rea and until they did there was no reason to be concerned about a minor department administrative issue like email handling. I've dealt with countless situations similar to this one in which you have a high-ranking person in an organization refusing to use the email mailbox that policy says they should, it's an organizational problem across government and industry where executives think they are above the rules and skirt or sidestep them. It was an administrative issue and barely worth much coverage unless there was evidence of mens rea; the media went nuts because it gave them free license to unload on Donald Trump while still being able to avoid being called biased by heaping loads of negative coverage on Hillary too.
I'm not going to argue with you over what does or doesn't constitute rigging because the definition you are using is not the dictionary definition and I'm not the one who you were originally responding to that had used the word in the first place.
>[Rigged](http://www.dictionary.com/browse/rigged)
1. ~~Chiefly Nautical. to put in proper order for working or use.
to fit (a ship, mast, etc.) with the necessary shrouds, stays, etc.
to fit (shrouds, stays, sails, etc.) to the mast, yard, or the like.~~
2. ~~to furnish or provide with equipment, clothing, etc.; fit (usually followed by out or up).~~
3. ~~to assemble, install, or prepare (often followed by up).~~
4. to manipulate fraudulently: to rig prices.
They were undeniably fraudulently manipulating the election. They were presenting incomplete information about Hillary and casting her consistently in a negative light while failing to do the same to her opponent despite him having an equally if not more concerning investigation underway.
Call it skewing, call it rigging, it doesn't matter as you haven't dealt with the problem that it happened and it must be prevented from happening again. This semantic game you've decided to play doesn't change the equation one bit. | false | low | 144 |

>It wasn't received positively by both sides, it was received negatively by both sides which was predictable and Hillary was the one who bore the brunt of that considering that was the end of a bullshit witch hunt and rather than being absolved Comey stuck a black cloud around her.
I said he was *trying* to please both sides. I never said he succeeded. Though personally, I saw a lot of liberals who thought the first press conference was good simply because she didn't get indicted.
> What's his defense of that unprecedented and unnecessary press conference? That he was trying to make everyone happy? That's clearly bullshit, as anyone with any sense would expect, nobody was happy after that.
I mean... saying "thats clearly bullshit" is not an argument. It's a personal opinion. You think it's bullshit. I think its not. Who is right? Well, they're both *opinions* so they both hold the same weight.
If you want to believe comey did this on purpose to sink hillary, that's your prerogative. I'm simply telling you that you do not have what any reasonable observer would consider to be smoking-gun evidence.
>Of course they wouldn't hold up in a court room because none of it was illegal, it was simply unethical and a breach of rules but not laws (possibly the Hatch Act, I can't say with the information that is public).
That's not what I meant by 'hold up in court'
I mean the *standard of evidence* that courtrooms use... that is, evidence that proves something beyond a reasonable doubt. And so far, *everything* you've presented as "evidence" leaves me still with tons of reasonable doubt.
>I'm content to take it a step back and say it was either rigged via incompetence or rigged via premeditation.
I mean.. one of those things fits the definition of "rigged" the other doesn't. Which was my whole point.
If comey hurt hillary via incompetence, that is not a rigged election. That's an election where incompetence accidentally hurt hillary. Which is exactly what I think happened with regards to comey.
If you wanna talk about the russian hacks, there's where I'd agree that it was an *attempt* at rigging the election, though I think the overall impact of the russian hacks wasn't enough to swing the election - it was many different things together that swung it to trump.
>The FBI's hand in the election is not something you can waive away purely because you can't prove intent

You could probably argue that, but that's basically just an argument for Comey's incompetence. It wasn't received positively by both sides, it was received negatively by both sides which was predictable and Hillary was the one who bore the brunt of that considering that was the end of a bullshit witch hunt and rather than being absolved Comey stuck a black cloud around her.
What's his defense of that unprecedented and unnecessary press conference? That he was trying to make everyone happy? That's clearly bullshit, as anyone with any sense would expect, nobody was happy after that.
If she was guilty or they had a viable case she should have been indicted, if she wasn't or they didn't have a viable case they should have treated it as any other investigation and said their investigation didn't result in a prosecutable case.
The email issue was never going away regardless of what was said, Republicans didn't need any evidence to believe the worst about Benghazi they sure as fuck weren't going to take any response other than an indictment when it came to the emails.
The way the FBI and Director Comey framed it was to indict her in the court of public opinion instead of in a court of law where, as you pointed out, the bar for evidence is much higher. Obviously, I can't prove with what public information exists that this was something they planned, but it was something anyone could have predicted and that they with that awareness have responsibility for now that it played out in that very predictable and biased manner.
> I thiink - no, I don't think, I know - that NONE of these accusations you're making would hold up in a courtroom with the evidence you've provided. It's just your feeling but in reality, you have as much evidence to back up the idea that comey did this on purpose, as people who claim that Hillary's bank speeches is unimpeachable proof she's in bed with wall street... its just not how the real world works, and when you indict comey with circumstantial and anecdotal evidence, you sink to the level of the people who did the same thing with Hillary.
Of course they wouldn't hold up in a court room because none of it was illegal, it was simply unethical and a breach of rules but not laws (possibly the Hatch Act, I can't say with the information that is public).
I'm content to take it a step back and say it was either rigged via incompetence or rigged via premeditation. The FBI's hand in the election is not something you can waive away purely because you can't prove intent with what information has been released publicly and the inconsistent treatment between the Trump case and the Clinton case was something Comey acted as if it had never occurred to him that they were handling those cases differently.
You can believe that if you'd like, but I think that's utter bullshit and so we remain caught between him / them either being incompetent or corrupt but I see no room for anything else. Their optional actions had predictable, partisan consequences and they went through with them anyway. It's incompetence, corruption, or both.

WTF is wrong with you? Are you *trying* to alienate people? Or does it just make you feel better to say the things you feel are true are factually true and ignore the lack of evidence?
I voted for Hillary in 08. I voted for her in 16. I am as strong a hillary supporter as you'll find, but I *will not* stoop to the level of republicans and accuse people of rigging the election based on evidence that would *never* hold up in a court of law. | false | medium | 185 |

It was calculated to please both sides - no indictment, which pleased dems, but a scathing statement to please republicans - but not calculated to cause Hillary to lose the election.
>You don't think the Comey letters in October/November were calculated?
Nope. I think he was covering his own ass in case something had come of the Weiner computer after the election.
>You don't think the FBI's decision to not reveal even the existence of their inquiry into Trump's Russia connection while simultaneously dragging Hillary through the mud in Comey's statement saying there wasn't a case lending credence to months of mounting Right-wing talking points was calculated?
There's smoke, but no evidence of fire. The fact that comey did these things, and the fact that they had an impact, is not proof that he did those things to create that impact. It just isn't - that's not how proof works: correlation is not causation.
One of the things that upset me most this election was that in America, you're innocent until proven guilty... unless you're hillary clinton, in which case you're guilty until proven innocent. So I won't do that with comey.
I thiink - no, I don't think, I know - that NONE of these accusations you're making would hold up in a courtroom with the evidence you've provided. It's just your *feeling* but in reality, you have as much evidence to back up the idea that comey did this on purpose, as people who claim that Hillary's bank speeches is unimpeachable proof she's in bed with wall street... its just not how the real world works, and when you indict comey with circumstantial and anecdotal evidence, you sink to the level of the people who did the same thing with Hillary.
>So if your criteria for you to agree to using the terminology of 'rigged' is pre-meditated or pre-planned...I don't think that's a problem here.

You can think all of that, but I disagree.
I think it was calculated. I think his performance in the Congressional briefing in late January was absolutely dishonest and that he was fully aware of the hypocrisy he was guilty of committing.
So if your criteria for you to agree to using the terminology of 'rigged' is pre-meditated or pre-planned...I don't think that's a problem here.

That's still not "rigged" though... rigged implies a pre planning that simply did not take place. I'm not happy about the comey lettee or any of that, but I don't think it was a purposeful attempt to change the results of the election.

Does anyone seriously think that Donald Trump measures up to the Chinese President? Not even close, Trump is an intellectual featherweight that is going to get flopped on his back repeatedly by these much more intelligent, much more informed, much more serious world leaders who know how to play the game better.
The real risk is that Trump will over-escalate to try and compensate for his lackluster ability. Beaten out in one way or another he falls back to the tools he crudely understands.

That is not policy, that is an empty platitude. Please point me to the candidate that has ever run for political office while promising to not grow the economy. That promise is ubiquitous and Hillary made the same one, every politician does.
It's the *HOW* that matters because that's what you're actually running on: The policy you want to put into place to address problems you've identified. Trump and Bernie both correctly identified some problems (whereas others they've entirely fabricated), but Trump's 'solutions' all fail to actually help the people who need it by appealing to poorly devised policy that far more closely resembles crony capitalism or the mercantilism of the 19th century than it does mainstream 21st century economic thought.
Trump, like Bernie, lied about US manufacturing and promised to bring it back. That won't be happening, the data has proven it out that the losses have primarily been to automation and that jobs that were going to return would likely also be mitigated by automation and the costs to try and bring those jobs back (tariffs) will result in far more widespread economic problems with the cost to the consumer increasing and the net-gains all going to the owners of the automatons.
Are you saying Hillary should have lied her ass off about what economists know is and isn't possible? Are you saying we should trust the opinions of arm-chair economists over people who have devoted their lives to professionally studying this subject?
That's Trump logic and we have no space in the Democratic Party for that bullshit.
