This is relatively hard for me because Pearl Jam means so much to me.  But enough is enough.  It is time for me to #walkaway.  Monday’s poster that depicts a dead president Trump in front of the white house being picked apart by a bald eagle is too much for me.  I have been adamant fan since ‘discovering’ pearl jam for myself around 2008 (I literally have the entire catalog) and fell in love with all of it.  And I will always appreciate the band’s music and all of the tough times in my life their great music has gotten me through.  But I will not stand by or support this band’s hatred for the President of the United States of America.  He won the election people. Get over it.  Now, I am not on social media in any form, and I hardly ever post here.  But no one can silence me (and I am not a Russian bot).  I am a 2 time Obama voter.  I had hope for change, and now my hope HAS changed.  Being born into a fatherless home, I realize all too personally how the democrat policies of this nation (that were intended to be a safety net) actually encourage fatherless homes.  I used to identify Democrat because that is what I was told as a minority I should be, and at first I thought I held the same values—inclusivity, rejection of racism of any kind, value of life etc.  Now these are the very same reason I have left the Democrat party behind. No more clueless identity politics for me.  It was, and is the identity politics that are killing the party.  No one is perfect and I realize that any party will have its issues.  Like the alt right and alt left are just looney.  But as a woman, I have no idea (besides they hate trump;) what the pink pussy hat wearing women were representing in the “Women’s March”.  They sure as hell don’t represent me.  I want everyone in America to be lifted up, and that is why I believe in what President Trump is doing for all of us.  The opposition to this man has been so fierce, and the media has been propagandized.  The selective reporting of Trump’s tweets is one issue, but to actively not report important issues just because they don’t fit the “I hate trump narrative” is inexcusable.  Please look up #walkaway by Brandon Straka. Basically this describes it all.  I am against hate, and that is why I left the left.  Antifa attacks my girl Candace Owens in Philly and media is *silent*.  Something tells me if her political party was switched this would be big news.  Not only that, it appears totally acceptable to label any Conservative as *racist* while NYT hires Sarah Jeong. I would also like to provide examples of how conservatives are unfairly depicted or just straight up discriminated against for being black and conservative (Antonia Okafor & CJ Pearson come to mind). Hate Trump all you want, he will win 2020.  Yes, 4 more years of snowflakes crying for safe (no other opinions allowed) places.  This is America, we are a melting pot and I am sick of the divisions the liberals are making in the name of progress.  The Republicans are not perfect and by God President Trump is not perfect.  But I cannot get down with the level of TDS displayed here by my favorite band.  I am done.  Goodbye Pearl Jam forum, and fellow lovers of Pearl Jam.  Here are my bootleg download codes that I have not used—they go first come first serve and I hope you enjoy this gift from a female conservative:  2015---LRMUVCGW, 2016 MGCFALRU, 2017 RWYKPFAT, 2018 KCHYSPFE.  Member 465428 has left the building, Missoula POSTER ART is disgusting and that did it for me.   BYE

I feel you , but here they will just use snarky remarks and ignore you. Pearl jam jumped the shark a long time ago and so has most of their fans , it is what it is .  Wait till midterms when the Dims lose again and they are looking around wondering how and why  it happened .  Then just laugh at the fools . 

You buggered up the quoting feature. And what did you mean when you said 'Dims lose again'?

Were you meaning to say Dimi will miss out on Fatal again?

A HUGE THANK YOU!

“We all got together and started having conversations and elevating the discussion. Empathy became action, and in a very short amount of time, we were able to raise $11 million - as a starting point - to eradicate what is a complex issue. And it is a complex issue.” - Eddie Vedder A HUGE thank you to the more than 160 businesses—both big and small—philanthropic partners, and individuals that have committed more than $11 million to fight homelessness. Even more important is seeing our community and fans rally around this effort. Tens of thousands of you have taken action by signing up for The Home Shows mailing list, watching stories of our neighbors with lived experience with homelessness, volunteering, getting registered to vote - and voting.   And this is just the beginning. You have more influence than you think—and now is the time to use it. Email your elected officials and let them know what you want from them. Ask your employers what they’re doing on this issue. Support businesses committed to ending homelessness. Go out of your way to say “Hello” and “How can I help?” when you see a neighbor experiencing homelessness. Then, keep learning, donating, volunteering, paying attention, and believing. The more than 12,000 people living on the streets of our city need us to. “We can beat this and we can do it together. We need your help. It’s a wave and all of us are the water.” - Eddie Vedder Ed, Stone, Mike, Jeff & Matt vs Donald J. Trump‏Verified account @realDonaldTrump Aug 14 Strzok started the illegal Rigged Witch Hunt - why isn’t this so-called “probe” ended immediately? Why aren’t these angry and conflicted Democrats instead looking at Crooked Hillary?

Why do people keep saying, "He won the election, get over it"

Yes, he won the election.  Everyone is in agreement there.

I disagree, as I mentioned in the various other threads (not sure why this one was necessary).

There is a difference depicting a hanging, targets, gunshots, stabbing, etc.  This is obviously filled with metaphor and does not celebrate, fantasize, or encourage a violent act.

Ask yourself this one question:  "Who cares about people more, the members of Pearl Jam or Donald Trump?" 

The answer is clearly Pearl Jam, and I will side with sincerity more than opportunism (Trump).  I may not agree that they should have canceled the Raleigh show, but I can respect that they did it to help people.

Last I checked, Pearl Jam did not setup a fake university to defraud people.  I haven't read any stories of Pearl Jam not paying their contractors for services provided.   

Pearl Jam just completed the Home Shows and raised millions for charity.  Trump would have just played the concerts, pocketed the cash, and not paid the parking attendants, security guards and concession workers. 

Well stated and concise.

I was gonna suggest that the mods move this to AMT section, but then realized it’s more like...

So it should go into its own section that should be called TDT (The Derailed Train)

Personally don't care about politics at all and feel the poster is art and also could care less about it . What makes me mad is when people who have a different opinion get ganged up on by a bunch of self-righteous hypocrites .

I concur that this doesn't encourage a violent act technically.  I'm for letting the artist draw what he wants regardless.  I also know that there is a double standard but I don't care.  I regularly see stuff on facebook from ten club members that glorifies and begs for the deaths of conservative leaders.  That's just the way it is.

We are mostly all die hard fans here. But honestly, in the grand scheme of things, Pearl Jam hasn't been relevant in a long time. I cant tell you how many times I've talked to people about a trip that I went on and saw a concert and the response was, "They still tour?" or "Oh yeah I remember listening to them 20-25 years ago." Not sure if the poster was a "marketing" plan to get their name in the news a little in order to raise awareness for their "homelessness" cause?  We haven't heard much in the press since the Denver Pepsi Center concert during the Bush presidency. When a mass exodus from the concert was reported as well, which was really 10 or 20 people. This may not even come close to that.

eddiec

So let me get this straight. You're offended by a concert poster but not offended by Donald Trump? A guy who proudly says he grabs women by the pussy.

Maybe you should evaluate your moral compass.

I'm not american so I wasn't raised with flags in every street corner and singing the national anthem fifteen million times per year..

... but I still can't see what the problem with the poster is?

What's the problem with illustrating the president as having died and having destroyed the white house?

Anyone just hear a giant farting noise? That sums up that original post.
