Polling where they just ask people factual questions always interest me. After the people answer, do they tell them the actual correct answer or do they say "uh huh" and then leave them in their wrongness?

Jerusalem posted:Now changing their stupid loving backwards rear end awful terrible no-good doesn't work at all it's loving stupid First Past The Post System on the other hand... that's something that should be done. Now see that was where the Lib Dems showed just why they are worthless cunts. They got into bed with the Tories because they desperately wanted power. They got the Tories to agree to the referendum on changing the voting system - so far so good. Then they let the Tories frame the question that would be voted on and they sabotaged it perfectedly by selecting a specific system which no-one uses (and no-one in their right mind ever will). It was then pretty simple to shoot down and unsurprisingly it was a wash out. They were supposed to insist on proportional voting or a more vague question like 'Should the UK voting system be modernised' but apparently they were either too stupid, drunk or the payoff was too good.

Katt posted:they should have just been kicked out of the EU years ago because this relationship obviously doesn't work on any level. Really? Because from what I can tell the relationship with the EU worked fine before Brexit. It's just that the UK irrationally resented the EU so they chose to actively sabotage that relationship out of spite. Anyway, hope Scotland gets their independence soon.

What I mean is that over the course of Brexit the relationship has deteriorated completely to the point where I think it's unsalvageable. I think if Brexit had been canceled the UK would have eaten itself alive until it could do Brexit again.

I’m receiving reporting from Earth-2, where they made the impeachment investigation in the House more deliberate and waited for the courts to reject all of their subpoenas, and apparently Ramirez has just come out with a cartoon saying that if the Democrats actually thought Trump was a danger to the office, they’d be going much much faster, so it’s all obviously a sham Edit: also, apparently the term “hoofer mama” is a thing there, and I don’t get it Edit2: okay its a dog meme thing, Twitter is just as hosed up over there skeleton warrior fucked around with this message at 17:58 on Feb 2, 2020 |

Impeachment took three months, whereas the trial itself will take mere weeks. The GOP is just projection taken physical form. Warren said her Secretary of Education pick would be screened by “a young trans person” to ensure that nominee would promote inclusive schools. So I assume this is just dunking on her with an opposite-of-reality cartoon.

I love how some talking points are, "Yeah it was bad what Trump did, but the Dems rushed it. Shouldn't have rushed it!" Ignoring the obstruction to their fact-finding and general non-compliance, the Right makes it sound like they would've given the trial an actual fair chance had it been done properly, which is such bull-poo poo.
