I will be completely honest here (and that's a real rarity coming from me, so savor this moment) this post of yours made me entertain the idea that Hillary is the lesser evil in this coming election. Or more accurately, the war crime quote did. Strange that I haven't heard it before with all the anti-Drumpf comments filling up all news sites. I was mistaken in thinking you had taken his war crime comment out of context, the reason being that I was thinking of a different comment altogether. Here's an actual example: "TAKE IT FUCKING SERIOUSLY WHEN A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE SAYS THAT MOST MEMBERS OF A PARTICULAR RACE ARE RAPISTS AND DRUG DEALERS." That is straight up false. Drumpf talked about illegal immigrants, not all Mexicans or an entire race. That's how you take things out of context. A textbook example. And if you are so determined to defeat Donald Drumpf in the general election, please stop calling him "Drumpf." If you want to convince the population that a candidate is racist, the last thing you want to do is mock his heritage.
Edit: I forgot to address his twitter and must say that whether he was covering up for an employee or actually retweeted those statistics himself as he claims, that is indeed a sign of very poor judgement. Especially on such a sensitive topic. Oh well. This election will be a beauty. |
Alright glad you're actually thinking and considering what he said instead of blindly defending a candidate. All I ask really.
As for why I'm calling him Drumpf, there is context for that, and it's not to mock his heritage. First off, I actually have a plugin that changes Drumpf to Drumpf in chrome, so I honestly get confused as to which one is being used sometimes. But, the reason the plugin came about, is that Drumpf specifically commented on Jonathan Steward not using his original last name which was kind of hypocritical seeing as he's not either. He also routinely calls Elizabeth Warren Pochahontas. It's about his hypocrisy, not about making fun of his heritage. I honestly don't know what his heritage is. I want to say Scottish.
As for the Mexican quote, he was specifically talking about one race, not all illegal immigrants. I wouldn't say I took that out of context, but I didn't word it quite right, so I'll fix that. He's saying that most of 28% of mexicans in this country are rapists murderers and drug dealers. And to label any group that large like that is pretty bad, especially when the statistics don't bear him out.
Anyway it seems that besides that particular point, you're agreeing what I said was in context and generally accurate. Whether that convinces you not to vote for him or not is up to you, but keep in mind not everything negative said about him is a matter of bias or misrepresentation.
