Why is Democracy Spring Getting ZERO Attention?

[Stormspellz]

Instead of doing this ignorant crap they could just vote for trump
1. Only one self funding
2. Only candidate who has the balls to say what people are thinking
3. Only candidate who is a true leader (people follow the issues he is vocal about)

And for any SJWs in here that will call racist/xenophobic/islamiphobic save your breath because...

1. You can't form a solid argument to support those claims
2. Being triggered doesn't solve the problem and is not an argument

You are very uninformed

The best wall that can be built will cost 10-15 billion
Mexico will be made to pay for it
We spend 120 billion a year taking care of people in the United States illegally
"Mexico will never pay for that wall" ya lets see what their tune is when trump blocks western unions into their country

He's not self funding, and loaning your campaign money isn't self funding your campaign.
a politician who has no self filter isn't a politician i want on the world stage.
purely subjective, and he's far more divisive then he is unifying.

Mexio won't pay for it.
it will cost 20billion + to build and and 10billion to staff/maintain a year, and for minimal effect
you can't stop western union transfers without passing a trade embargo that will never get through congress.
120?! random made number is random and made up.

Oh, they don't have jobs. They're the ones going on about basic income.

There is an /s up there, but I truly do believe there has to be a noticeable level of unemployment or financial support within protests like this.

Yeah, I mean it's sardonic, but it's kind of hard to believe these brave freedom fighters were super busy with anything else.

[Zenotetsuken]

They are getting zero attention, because they are all being peaceful. Them being peaceful means the corporate media has absolutely no incentive to cover it, because giving the protest exposure works against their own self interest. They themselves pump a ton of money into politics, why would you intentionally then shine a spotlight on your own shadiness?

[TrumpIsPresident]

Do you truly believe the shit coming out of your mouth? Seriously I'd love to know how this wall will do all this, please inform us. Waiting on those sources with some legit numbers not the shit you're fucking spewing over here.

Listen if you support rape, child molestation, and murder that's your thing.

I don't support it and I don't pretend its not happening.

So maybe just don't talk to me about this subject.

[Thunderball]

Isn't it more appropriate to say that Hitler wasn't the Fascist, since Mussolini and Hitler departed from each other on multiple levels? Lest we forget, Mussolini treated the Jews with respect and threatened to invade Nazi Germany after Germany invaded then-Fascist Austria.

EDIT: Misread the opening line

We all know today that Hitler was Fascist but in reality the term way brought to politics by Mussolini and Hitler's definition was largely different from what Mussolini proposed. They both drifted heavily from what they proposed compared to reality, but that's imo natural about any nationalist regime.

i love when people pay 2k a yr in taxes and think they pay for everything. a lot of people dont even pay anything once you factor kids and EIC.

[Caolela]

Over 800 people were arrested in Washington D.C. this week while peacefully protesting money in politics. Where is the media coverage?

I posted a thread about this on Tuesday this week: http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/...-shrift-on-MSM

[oxymoronic]

I've yet to hear a way to get money out of politics. How do you do it?

What you are complaining about is huge donors giving a bunch of money to a candidate in order to promote their election. Ok, if you ban that, then those donors can just turn around and buy television stations and movie production companies and change the programming to promote the same thing. There is no difference between a candidate buying an ad to promote his ideas and the owner of a television network providing TV shows and News shows that promote those same ideas.

The Koch brothers could (instead of donating money to candidates) just buy Showtime, HBO, AMC, ABC, NBC, and CBS and change the way your favorite shows are written to support right wing ideas. They don't do that NOW because its easier to just give money directly to candidates. But if you block the Koch brothers from giving money to candidates, they might buy TV networks and suddenly the Walking Dead becomes a story about how evil left wingers created the zombies and how Darryl Dixon and Rick Grimes are heroic right wingers fighting against what the left wing has done.

kinda like how movies turn into liberal left ideas? avatar anybody

That oligarchy sign is hilarious.

1 A small group of people having control of a country, organization, or institution: the ruling oligarchy of military men around the president


1.1 A country governed by an oligarchy: the English aristocratic oligarchy of the 19th century

1.2 Government by oligarchy.


Your contention is the U.S. is not a form of oligarchy? I think you'd find millions of people would disagree with that.

These same snot nosed kids are the ones who are going to hire an uber to take them by helicopter to Coachella.

Nice ad hominem, now about those sources...

[Wyrt]

Because:
1. The media either contributes money to the system or they get a lot of money out of the system(via add revenue).
And
2. The protesters are being peaceful so there is no drama to exploit.

[Fang7986]

I'm puzzled by how these people don't have anything better to do with their time. I know, I know, they're all brave heroes for standing up to The Man, but seriously, who uses their vacation time on this shit?

Mommy and Daddy are paying for. the vast majority of the people protesting here have never had to work.

3. most of the protesters are white so nobody cares

[Luxxor]

Simple reason: Its not "newsworthy." Insert what you want for that term.

[Goonygoon]

Reason it isn't newsworthy. They aren't doing anything. They didn't even try to get a permit. They didn't advertise themselves appropriately. I would think if you wanted to have an effective "arrest me, televise me", you should have a good 'ole protest with all the bells and whistles, and after you have drummed up actual support, then go get yourself arrested. Who the hell even heard about Democracy Spring before actually looking into a story on who was arrested. On the day the first wave happened, it took me 4 news reels to figure out who it was, and a couple on-site interview videos to tell what they were on about. It took a couple videos because, half of the people there didn't even know why they were there. Spouting all sorts of issues not on the main point of "money out of politics"

[Caolela]

And you know that...how? Did the vast majority of them tell you that?

3. most of the protesters are white so nobody cares

Their issue is not about that. It's about excessive corporate and upper income money corrupting politics.

[Hooked]

I think the name democracy spring conjures up the images of arab spring, which was an absolute disaster for everyone. It almost makes me wonder if foreign enemy intelligence services are funding these radical left groups to destabilize the country.

[TrumpIsPresident]

Do you imagine yourself to be some sort of intellectual as spam a demand for "sources" for things of such common knowledge that only a moron would be oblivious to them.

You're not a moron ...are you?

See I don't think you are.

I think you're just being intentionally belligerent because you are well programmed to turn blind eyes to the destruction committed by any pet identity your ideological overlords instruct you to favor.

But to satisfy your absurd request here's a few extensive and well documented lists detailing only a slight minute fraction of the hundreds of thousands of deaths rapes and acts of child molestation committed by those you adamantly defend:
