QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 3, 2016 -> 10:22 AM) It isn't sexism. She is quite literally using that Presidency as evidence of her ability to be President. The idea that it is systemic is only systemic ignorance. you don't believe systemic misogyny/sexism has played ANY role in the portrayal of Hillary Clinton over the last 30 years?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 3, 2016 -> 10:38 AM) I tend to agree with this. She does bring up Bill's Presidency plenty, which certainly puts those issues in play. That's not to say there isn't sexism at play though, as certainly there is. That last debate was like a video presentation of what mansplaining is. But that doesn't mean it's sexism to put Bill's Presidency into the discussion. SS2k said that was ALL she is running on. THAT is sexism. The nuance matters.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 2, 2016 -> 09:41 PM) When the White Sox were at their apex, and the Cubs sucked, they couldn't out draw them. The Sox don't have that fan base. Period. And that has nothing to do with LOYALTY! That has to do with the location of the park, the history of the park, the trendiness of the team, the fact that it's a bar-type college bro atmosphere. The reason they draw has NOTHING TO DO WITH BASEBALL Come on man. This is obvious.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 2, 2016 -> 08:57 PM) Do you even listen to her speak? She is constantly mentioning the Clinton Presidency. The whole it has to be sexism thing is pathetic. When you say she's running on her husband's legacy, that's sexism. She has created a massively impressive legacy on her own. I don't care if you can't see it. It's normal that people who are sexist don't realize they're sexist. But systemic misogyny colors your opinion of Hillary.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Oct 2, 2016 -> 11:03 PM) I have no idea his motivations, but he seems to also be insanely narcissistic. His hatred for Hillary makes no real sense, since Trump is also against everything he believes in. I don't think there's any rational logic or explanation to his decision making. So either that means he's just a whack job, or it means someone's controlling him. And with Putin already having hacked the DNC, literally anything is possible.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 2, 2016 -> 07:27 PM) Yet you have people trying to sell the White Sox as a large market team in the exact same thread. ..... We are a large market team. That doesn't mean the Sox and Cubs aren't still two completely different entities. The two concepts are not mutually exclusive.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 2, 2016 -> 07:40 PM) That is because Hillary is running based on her husbands record, and her involvement in those things coming to fruition. Of course she couldn't POSSIBLY be running on HER OWN 30 year record in public service. Subtext: (because she's a woman) SMH

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Oct 2, 2016 -> 01:15 PM) You aren't new here. This argument has been going in circles for the past year +. Everybody is bored with it, except Thad Bosley who isn't happy unless he has something to complain about. It's just stupid to compare attendance between the Cubs and Sox at ALL. They're just completely different entities in almost every way. It's like comparing New York and Chicago pizza. It's literally pointless because they're two different foods. They just happen to have the same name.

QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ Oct 2, 2016 -> 11:27 AM) Yeah, there is really not a clean solution. I just find it a little head scratching that something someone said 20 years ago that they might not feel now is still a point of emphasis in an election. In this election, Trump has the advantage of never actually voting for any of the current policies, so he is similar to Obama in lack of experience I like to think that I'm not the same person I was 20 years ago, 10 years ago,..... It's just basic human nature, and it's not going to change. If it's YOUR candidate, you applaud their "evolution" on an issue. If it's THEIR candidate, they've "flip flopped" and they're "pandering" to win an election. Just like Ben Franklin said about the Revolution: "A rebellion is always legal in the first person, such as "our rebellion." It is only in the third person - "their rebellion" - that it becomes illegal." Same diff.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 1, 2016 -> 11:21 PM) 29. The nyt got ahold of some of his 1995 tax returns which showed a nearly one billion dollar loss, big enough to wipe out up to 18 years worth of federal taxes. http://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/10/02/us/po...t.co/aAXI4ZvZeZ Wowowowowow I can't wait for the next debate.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Oct 1, 2016 -> 07:29 PM) Legit, if you're just going to try nd pick fights block me like you said you would with your hollow threat from the other day. Wait like... just responding to something you post is "picking a fight" with you?? Goodness.

Oh happy day! This is the happiest I've been re: the Sox in a while now...

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 1, 2016 -> 08:52 PM) Its been done ad naseum. Again, you can choose to ignore it if you like. this... is.... not... a good... argument....

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 1, 2016 -> 05:04 PM) Yeah, check the attendance numbers from 2006. The 66-96 Cubs drew almost 200k more than the White Sox. It is 2 different realities. The Sox will not draw what the Cubs draw. For one thing, there are probably triple the amount of people living within 2 miles of Wrigley Field. Exactly. A whole lot easier when that many people can just walk to the ballpark EDIT: and then to the bar

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 1, 2016 -> 04:23 PM) Even when they have delivered a winner, fans didn't respond in the same way as Cub fans did. The difference wasn't Harry Carry, it was the fan bases. The Cubs fan base is more loyal. I wholeheartedly disagree that they're more loyal. I think they're just more popular because they're on the north side and they're trendy, and always have been. It has nothing to do with hardcore loyalty IMO.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Oct 1, 2016 -> 01:43 PM) Sorry, not taking your bait. Legit, how is that bait? I was being serious. Lol

QUOTE (raBBit @ Oct 1, 2016 -> 11:27 AM) https://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/782223934175444992 Have you noticed that anyone who doesn't support HRC is either naive, childish, delusional, purist, deplorable, or racist? Sensing a pattern a keen sense of reality? do we need to make a list of what the people who don't support Trump are called? Because I'm betting your list is a lot nicer.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Sep 29, 2016 -> 09:01 PM) Agreed on both accounts. Lol. I love that Reddy thinks all the mods are conservative too, lol Bro. I need you to chill the f*** out. I didn't say ALL did I? Guys seriously. I would be more than happy to try and chill on my part, cut back on the trolling, and be a productive member of this site like the good ole days, but if I I'm gonna try to do that, I need this guy to drop the vendetta, because I really don't understand it. EDIT: I realize this is stupid because I doubt it really matters to you guys one way or the other. Touche. Maybe I'll just put him on ignore...

QUOTE (shysocks @ Sep 29, 2016 -> 04:24 PM) LOL, if we didn't already have proof that they can blame Obama for literally anything, we have it now. THAT is incredible. Hahahahaha has there ever been a more inept congress that will, at probably a 90+% rate all keep their jobs? #murica

QUOTE (raBBit @ Sep 29, 2016 -> 04:18 PM) There are without a doubt people on here that don't post what interests them politically because they know you, bmags and another random poster or two will gangbang them before they can even respond to the first retort. I wasn't aware I "obsess" over national politics for listening to a few podcasts while I commute and keeping up with the news. You certainly know how to drum up a slew of caveats to castrate your formerly offensive post. You'd be great in politics. Um... most of the mods lean conservative, and as such, I've been gangbanged on numerous occasions yet still post my "bs", so.... the martyr card doesn't totally work for ya bud.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Sep 29, 2016 -> 03:40 PM) That's a fair point but I certainly don't have time to understand those issues nor do I have the desire to. So if you're one of the few people who care, it means more to you. I'm of the 99% that doesn't. I said absolutely nothing about women at all but that doesn't matter to his shameless and despicable efforts to malign. Name-calling and trying to get a ruse out of me is a lot easier than articulating a point. Reddy is a troll who I have to ignore. Given his rap sheet of trolling and personal attacks over the years it's a coin toss he'll make it to the election without getting banned for good. C'mon dude. In no world am I a troll, but I WILL troll you when you're ridiculous. Distinction. And no one called you any names. And as for my "rap sheet" you haven't been here for most of it, so please. That horse is looking awfully high.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Sep 29, 2016 -> 03:31 PM) Disliking Clinton as a candidate equates to misogyny? You..... didn't read the last couple pages did you? (pssst we were talking about Michelle Obama)

QUOTE (raBBit @ Sep 29, 2016 -> 03:16 PM) Correlation =/= causation. Gary Johnson likes less government and basically runs on that. Liberals want more government. OH! Wow! Thanks for that enlightening lesson on remedial politics! You act as if people vote in their self interest and consistently with their beliefs. If that were true, no Bernie supporters would be voting Trump or Johnson. We know how this works. People be dumb.

rabbit with an A+ on the misogyny here today. good stuff

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Sep 29, 2016 -> 02:48 PM) Wasn't it that he couldn't name a Foreign Leader that he looked up to? Tad bit different of a question. Then he very easily could've said no one. Doesn't absolve him.
