Like, Trump said he'd likely announce his pick this weekend right after RBG is buried and apparently the DOW poo poo the bed but there's not much else

So after election and the SCOTUS going 6-3, is there a reason to follow politics for electoralisms sake? Seems like if voting doesn't even begin to address the erosion of the civil rights, economic issues and environmental issues, there isnt much of a point. As a minority I think i will only find value in political news as far as it helps my family and I prepare for whatever the next problem is. Like how i was ready for the pandemic because i followed it on the news. Either way, i will likely consume far less news next year. If the people who run this country have more or less won their final victort, I'd like to just ignore the bad news like everyone else in my life.

mrbotus posted:So after election and the SCOTUS going 6-3, is there a reason to follow politics for electoralisms sake? Yes, and it really doesn't take much at all. A simple majority of congress can revise the law limiting the supreme court to 9, and expand it to 13 (the number a lot of people are throwing out there now). 4 Biden judges later, and we have a 7-6 majority. This is not at all a "final victory". If after the election we have the senate but only a bare majority and some poo poo Dem like Manchin is refusing to go along, then we continue electing Democrats as the GOP literally dies. The Republican party really is doomed, but if it ends up looking like it will take a few more years (we'll pretty much know whether we can do anything meaningful or not by the Spring) then yeah, feel free to check out a few years, then check back in when you hear about more electoral victories.

Like how i was ready for the pandemic because i followed it on the news. Midterm/local elections because those are probably going to effect you and yours on an immediate scale. Portlands DA is one that comes to mind as a locally elected offical having a fairly big impact .

Don't have an article for you but it comes up in discussions of representation in the media and such because of the prevelant dark=bad framing for a lot of things and the unconscious effects of that.

Srice posted:I'm feeling really skeptical about the republican party truly being doomed, I'll only believe it when they're buried in the ground. I've heard it several times during my life and they keep bouncing back. They haven't really bounced back though on numbers. They started from a massive coalition during Reagan that was almost unbeatable, and every election they lose more and more voters. It varies a bit, but they are now at the point where its no longer reasonable to expect them to get a majority of the national vote anymore going forward even when faced with the most unpopular opponent in decades, and it will continue to get worse for them. MUCH worse. They did not need to rely on structural advantages like smaller states in the past, but now it is the ONLY thing allowing them to cling to power as a minority party, but their advantages will no longer be enough as they continue to bleed support. They are headed towards the electoral ditch of becoming an irrelevant regional southern party.

I've heard it several times during my life and they keep bouncing back. Republicans have pivoted themselves out of several demographic sandtraps in their existence, while Democrats are still struggling to convince their winning coalition that they should be in power. We absolutely should not have any pretensions of the Republican party dying out, especially as in this election, where the Democrats have pivoted from "Demographics are Destiny" to "we think we can appeal to enough rich old white suburbans". They've reinvented themselves aesthetically in the past, they'll do it again. The more productive question is where the republicans will pivot. With the Democrats salivating over suburbs, I could see them running on faux-strasserism (redundant, I know). Even a fake acknowledgement of material needs could peel off a fair chunk of voters.

LOL if you have so few interactions with PoC that you've never heard "why does it have to be black?" or had a real conversation about colorism or how language assists in colorism. edit: I can't wait for the 4 posters who are going to argue the poo poo out of this very common thing and then when it's consumed 5 pages decide that, because they're fragile about it, then the people talking about it must think it's the most important ever and that "here Jaxyon was telling people to stop caring about vote suppression and just language police" https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-bad-is-black-effect/ Jaxyon fucked around with this message at 22:57 on Sep 21, 2020 |

Wow, look at this guy, I bet he's had a *ton* of interactions with PoC. (hint: this isn't even the tip of the iceberg for terms like this, including the use of slave/master in software/hardware disciplines, but go off about how insanely racist people in this thread simply *must* be, because you want to humblebrag about... how many black people you know?)
