    boops_popmarket got a reaction from ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ in There Will Be Hell Toupée! (The Donald Trump Thread)   
    We have a long established history of treating minorities and women awfully.  And a great amount of responsibility for why that treatment started to change was that the views reflected in our laws and by our leaders changed.  I believe in social constructionism and that progress can be created and also lost- it's not cumulative and set.  The views of our leaders affect the views of the people and vice versa.  If we want to keep marriage equality and push forward on social issues, we need to keep electing officials who share a platform that wants to keep moving things forward.  If you elect officials who want to unravel progress, progress will be unraveled.  It won't happen instantly but you can look at the Trump phenomenon to see how constant repetition and approval can create a drastic difference in a group's comfort and confidence in espousing really hateful and ignorant speech in public.

    You don't know the racial makeup of posters in this thread.  I'm half-Mexican and half-Cuban and both my parents were born outside of the US.  Consider this one noted example of how a small misconception that is false can ever-so-slightly color your overall perspective.

    The naked statue stuff is embarrassing.  It does more to harm women than it does to attack Trump in any meaningful way.  It's re-enforcing the idea that its OK to attack people based on their looks, whether that person is a great person or a polarizing person.  It's a really unhelpful form of 'activism' and gives groups a perfect distraction to zero in on to avoid discussing macro issues.
    I forget my college 101 list of fallacies from logic/english class but using one example (naked Trump statue) to make a broad generalization ("Conservatives are more socially progressive than Liberals right now") is on that list.

    She's also the only candidate who is attached to a major party platform that pushes for progressive social issues in the United States via legislature and judicial appointments and she is the only candidate who is not attached to a major platform that openly seeks to roll back advancements in social issues via legislature and judicial appointments.
     
    Trump presidency with Republican platform = US corruption continues, social issues take a step back
    Clinton presidency with Democratic platform = US corruption continues, social issues continue to move forward
     
    If corruption is a major concern for Americans, I see positive change as more possible when the quality of life within the country is higher, education is higher, and critical thinking is higher.  I don't see positive change to corrupt practices as more likely in a country where irrational, emotional thinking, denial of science, inequality, and institutionalized/leader approved lack-of-empathy are prioritized.  I don't buy into the simplistic binary of "Clinton is corrupt / Everything else is non-corrupt" or the slightly more nuanced binary of "Clinton is corrupt / We don't know that everyone else is as corrupt so they could be less corrupt maybe".

    If we can repeal marriage equality, knock women back down a peg, give insurance companies a leg up, introduce massive tax cuts for the rich, and put an end to this "global warming is real" nonsense, then Syria and people across the world will be safer.

    If you use these and add 1-2 cardboard squares, you'll be golden.  Someone would have to bend the package in half or stab it with a knife to do damage.  The main downside is they only fit 1-3 records and they are $1+ each.

    It's possible that Amoeba bought another copy back from a private seller who brought their records in to them.  Both Amoeba SF and LA occasionally list out of print records for eBay prices on their site, eBay and Discogs.
