Yes that's it.
It can't be ironic shitposting.
Memes are the trojan horse used by the alt-right to sow the racist/sexist/homophobic/transphobic seeds in America.
The white utopia that claims every part of the serious alt-right hacker group 4chan is in very danger.
In an essence, 4chan is the modern day Illuminati of the alt-right.
Together through innocuous means must the alt-right hackers wave their flags in unity, printed on them the bold, white impact font formatted words:"Dyin' Hillary". Others contain memes of Trump seemingly want to have sex with his daughter, all as an attempt to help win the ever present incest supporters of the internet.
Or, there could be an easier explanation.
Here's hoping this is her Dukakis Tank moment.
The discussion about her health clearly isn't going away anytime soon.
Optics is such bullshit.
The same people who talk about optics are the ones shaping the story...
Someone should use that video from the primary debate where Trump is making all those weird expressions and ask if he's having a seizure/mini stroke. Let's see what the reactions are like.I said keel over, not cough. But what exactly is the point of this anyways? That Trump should win by default because he's not caught on camera coughing sometimes? I don't get it. Enlighten me.
Optics is quickly becoming code word for "my baseless speculation about X is real because I believe others will think so too!"
We can't just throw around unsubstantiated claims and then wave away any responsibility to make a convincing argument "because optix!"
They had a clip of this on the news and even when they seemingly moved on to the real coverage of the story, they kept showing they coughing bit as they talked.
Fuckin hell people. Sometimes you cough. Shit goes down that fucko pipe and you are rekt for a while.
I hate American politics (maybe all politics is shit, but I can at least pretend other countries arent so fucking dumb and shallow)
Coughing by itself isn't an issue, but nothing happens within a vacuum. The biggest political news story for the past week has been the discussion over Hillary's health. This was terrible timing for something like this to happen to her, as its just going to put more fuel on that fire and take media attention away from whatever politically damaging antics Trump may currently be engaging in.
We're a very superficial society. Appearance and presentation matter, even moreso than policy much of the time. Mike Dukakis looking like Dark Helmet riding a tank, the Dean Scream, John Kerry windsurfing, Obama stuttering like crazy during the first debate against Romney, none of these things should have really mattered, but in the end they did, and Hillary having a huge coughing fit fresh off a week of accusations about her health simply looks terrible, and is going to cast seeds of doubt in the minds of millions of voters.
And as for your last point, the media latching onto this kind of silly stuff isn't even limited to American politics, or does no one remember the Ed Miliband bacon sandwich?
You guys gotta admit, that did not look presidential at all.
It wasn't her fault or anything... Sure... Everyone has coughing fits...
It's just a shame it had to happen while giving a public speech.

On a thread regarding a democratic political candidate being unhappy with harassment among his more radical supporters:Screw optics.
She's presidential because of her work ethic, her drive, her experience, etc...
I don't have to admit shit.
It's optics man. Sanders has bern dogged for months about not really talking about and thus appealing to women and minorities so then combine that with the fact that only now is he speaking out against harassment of those same groups. It doesn't paint a good picture.

Is this seriously a topic in discussion?
Like for real?

I first read the thread title as "couch." That would've been awesome.

the only way this bites her is if she has a full on 4-minute coughing fit during the debate
What the hell was she thinking doing it right into the mic? She needed to set that thing down and turn away during it.
Never seen a bad cough?She practically died on stage and we're just supposed to move passed it?
Only in between the constant re-litigation of the primary between the two camps here.
No one's forcing you to talk about it.
You just have to use Google.Optics of coughing vs what that thread was about.
But hey thanks for digging up 8 month old posts...
So it's primary BS type here?
It's a fucking shitshow in here, that's what it is. You got concerned Clinton supporters worrying about every micro-event in this campaign, you got bereaved Sanders supporters in here airing their grievances as they seemingly do in every thread about Clinton, and you finally got the ever elusive Trump supporters showing up because the other 99% of threads they avoid are about indefensible shit Trump has done.
Meanwhile, you have those of us the middle who are kind concerned that we have 65 days to go and people continue to underestimate the threat of Trump winning.
how many people here ever experienced an asthma attack? seriously?
It clearly has its roots in marketing departments, so... yeah.Optics is quickly becoming code word for "my baseless speculation about X is real because I believe others will think so too!"

Great your gotcha point is still worthless given we're talking about a fucking cough here.
