It's no less abhorrent. And I'm sorry, ignorance isn't a good enough excuse.
Agree

I'm actually curious... could Facebook get rid of Palmer while still having control over Occulus? Because I'd be surprised if they were going to let two billion dollars spent acquiring the company go down the drain over this. Palmer's a shitbag, but his company could still be worth having.
When there is effectively only two meaningful parties in what is supposedly a open republic with democratically elected representatives, it's a good thing. Not saying Trump would actually end up good, but when both parties hate you then it is at least a sign that his interest isn't to continue to line the pockets of the existing elite.
I wouldn't be surprised if he is fired by the end of the day, honestly.
Doubtful on that last part.Wonder how long it will be before there is some form of major backlash/apology from him.

If this "needed" shift from the status quo involves massive deportations of Hispanics, even more systematic racism of people of Muslim communities, more discrimination against women, utter disregard of people with disabilities, utter indifference to the LGBTQ community, glorification of the problems with police culture, and a solution to black community issues being more stop and frisks, I would vote for the other (more sane) candidate in a heart beat. And this isn't even a "well, presidents rarely make due with their campaign promises anyway," these are core pillars of his entire campaign, choice of cabinet, and foundation.
Both parties also both openly hate Jerry Sandusky though.

He funds the creation of dank memes. I don't see anything wrong with this. Also, supporting trump doesn't equal white supremacy.
Show me the receipts, you have 3 hours.
People can still buy Oculus's all they want. What I do want, however, is for Facebook to fire Palmer.
Versus continuing to bomb hospitals in the middle east with drones?

What do you think systemic racism will lead to? Hint: not less bombings.Versus continuing to bomb hospitals in the middle east with drones? The things you listed are important things, they are. I'm in an inter-racial marriage myself. I get that. I just think the endless murder (of brown people from a far far away land) is a more important issue than social rights of those that get to continue breathing.
Again, all else, both are horrible choices for POTUS, but it's not a simple good versus evil dichotomy that many are making it out to be. Hillary is a monster, she just doesn't show it in front of a microphone and television camera. Donald doesn't try to hide it the fact that he is a monster.

Hopefully it also showed that saying both sides are equally horrible betrays that lack of knowledge 😁Thank you for your help everyone. Like I said, I don't follow the stuff closely cuz I can't stand him in the first place. This discussion has at least opened my eyes that I need to pay attention no matter how repulsive and annoying it is.
Didn't mean to ruffle anyone's feathers =/
There are so many ways to possibly attack your stance, but I'll go with the most obvious - do you think Donald Trump, the guy who, before even being elected president is already threatening to flex his nuclear powers, isn't going to continue drone strikes in the middle east?

Just over the last few days :
- calling Muslim migrants a cancer from within, and suggesting "racial profiling" (his words) as a solution.
- his son tweeting that bowl of skittles pictures, which is literally nazi rhetoric. This is the exact kind of shit you'll find on that sub Luckey was a part of.
- saying drugs are at the heart of the Charlotte protests. Drugs is historically dog whistle to explain why black people got what they deserved.
- saying through Pence that people talk too much about racism in policing.
This is just this week and off the top of my head. He's like 100% unambiguous honestly.
Technically it is a shift. Like putting a shit flinging ape in the White House would be one.
I'd take flying feces over Trump TBH.

The idea alone that Donald Trump wouldn't defend the interests of the elite is baffling.It's funny because Trump is literally lining his own pockets with his campaign.
I also think people need to realise, as hard as it can be to see, that white supremecy isn't monopolised in white cloaks and dumb masks. Any action that works to maintain the status quo of white privilege in society is white supremecy. And a vote for Trump sure as hell is a vote to keep minorities suppressed.

This is the human being Luckey presumably fell in love with and spends his nights with. A racist moron. Just look at some of the tweets she's retweeted.

Is this the part where we recognize that he's not as rich as he says he is? Or are we still pretending that's not true?The idea alone that Donald Trump wouldn't defend the interests of the elite is baffling.

Wait...what?!? The US is NOT intentionally bombing hospitals. You must be thinking of the Syrians or Russians who Trump idolizes.Versus continuing to bomb hospitals in the middle east with drones?

Oculus isn't Palmer Luckey's company. He has no claim over it.

I admit that I don't watch the repetitive news cycles on the candidates, but by all accounts he appears to be critical of the continued wars in the middle east and believes that our meddling in elections and or installing leaders in these regions to be risky.
Do I know he won't continue them, no, but of the two candidates he appears to be more likely to stop using the drones.
I feel like even imagining him being president is dangerous onto it's self. I am hoping he gets squashed in the general election.I always thought Palmer Lucky sounded like a douche but this is crazy. I didn't know the guy was so invested in politics and especially Trump. His girlfriend tweets make me cringe too.
I'm not from the US but i wish you fellow Americans good luck with these heated elections.
Man, it's just crazy to imagine Trump being the next president... wow !
