Not entirely sure what there is to be smug about even if Biden wins. A squeaker in this election says, "Hey we're FINE with the fash, just stop being so loud about it." The democrats will learn nothing because they obtained the presidency and we'll end up we'll end up with a string of 1 term Bluedog-Dem/Repub/Bluedog-Dem presidents and no shifting in congress until the fash get real froggy or Global warming does the needful.

Stultus Maximus posted:What this tells me is that Obama won handily not because of a liberalizing american public, but because McCain and Romney weren't fascist enough to drive heavy conservative turnout. Obama and Joe is a stronger ticket just on charisma value than joe kamala. Also stronger because people could believe obama might actually fight for change in society. Nobody is under that illusion for Joe.

This has to be bullshit, even if you aren't "plugged into politics" dunking on Trump for his anti-mask bullshit has been in pop culture since it became a thing. So the voters in question would 1) not pay attention to ANY news media and 2) Not pay attention to US television pop culture.

Cyks posted:Biden said he was going to take a stance on expanding the supreme court before the election. Anyone know if he ever did? If I remember correctly his stance was "Maybe, I'll think about it*" *absolutely not even if he had the power to do so. edit:nytimes.com/2020/10/22/us/politics/biden-supreme-court-packing.html quote:“I will ask them to, over 180 days, come back to me with recommendations as to how to reform the court system, because it’s getting out of whack,” Mr. Biden, the Democratic presidential nominee, told CBS News’s Norah O’Donnell, according to an interview excerpt made public on Thursday and expected to be broadcast in full on Sunday on “60 Minutes.”

lightpole posted:Thought the GOP was heavily favored to win a runoff of either match in GA. This is Ossoffs 2nd try right? Maybe 3rd times a charm? No one was heavily favored in the special election, it was pretty much a pipe dream that anyone would get 50% of the vote. Looking at the raw totals of just party vs party, if everyone goes party line, Warnock might win the run off if turn out stays the same or gets better for dems. I don't think it will if Biden wins, people might not turn out for the vote, or republicans will get mad their god-king is no longer president. As for Ossof vs Perdue. Perdue was favored to just win outright, but there's a chance it might go to a runoff, if it does I hope its because the Libertarians take another .1-.2% of the vote although I'm not hopeful

Nick Soapdish posted:Also, from my experience, there is a propaganda outlet with FNC/OANN/etc that feeds them a steady diet of bullshit that they eat up Same. My dad thinks if Joe Biden wins black people are gonna get reperations and we're gonna round up all the rich people [him and his princely 120k salary + his house], and either send them to re-education camps or execute them. He has openly stated to me his intentions of fleeing to south america and bribe the locals to let him live in peace in such a scenario. To which he also got really angry when I insinuated that considering our very german last name it wouldn't be the first time a [insert last name here] probably tried to setup shop in argentina after a political revolution.

lightpole posted:Ossof has lost to Perdue twice at this point. If the libertarian vote goes entirely to him in the runoff he might have a chance but tribalism is going to work against that. Warnocks best chance is to win outright since the GOP vote is split. A runoff will make it a Dem v Republican choice and will be much harder to win. That's 2, I don't remember who the other ones are but I had set Dems taking two of them best case. yea.. who ever pegged their hopes on Warnock winning outright just didn't pay attention to GA politics. The only reason Ossof and Perdue have as high of a percentage of the vote as they do is because the Democrats all threw their lots behind Osoff, and Perdue was running incumbent. The Democrats did not all throw their lots behind Warnock even though the entire DNC and GA-DNC pleaded with the other candidates to just sit the gently caress out and give their few percentage points in the hopes that warnock could maybe squeak over the 50.1% points. Although knowing that GA-Politics on both sides are corrupt as gently caress luckily I think this basically dooms matt liberman to never running for the party again.

CBJSprague24 posted:If there truly was a Democrat conspiracy, why didn't they cheat their way into control the Senate? Because the conspiracy is to get Trump out, so the dems/republicans can continue their heisting of Middle/Lower class wealth to the 1% behind the plausible deniability of "Well we just can't get anything done". Next question.

Yea I feel if you ran a platform that if you squinted at it was based on channeling peoples rage against various groups and channeled it towards rich assholes and then in the name of that offered leftist policies without hiding behind means testing (weed,health,taxing the rich,debt clearing) you'd probably steal the redeemable parts of trumps base away from the gop and get some disaffected socialists. No one has called for the democrats to start eating the rich seriously*, dudes is just frustrated that the democrats are tripping over their own dicks to be a more respectable gop than an actual opposition party *I mean unless you all are down.

wins32767 posted:Just slightly less than half the country is like my neighbor. What do you want to do with them all? We didn't shoot all the former Nazis, we helped them rebuild their country and now they do a better job of resisting authoritarianism than we do! I mean, while we didn't hang EVERY nazi, we hung more than a few, jailed more, and removed a lot of the higher level ones from government office as a lesson to the remaining civil servants. The french ostracized collaborationists. The soviets probably gulagged more than a few. edit: By no means am I calling for any of the above to be done to people, but do not forget they exist, and most of them probably aren't sorry for it.

wins32767 posted:Yep, and we should prosecute folks who broke the law from Trump on down, full stop. But we're going to have to get a big chunk of our fellow citizens that voted for Trump to help fix the problems that exist in our country or they get worse and saying "gently caress em" isn't exactly the best way to start that process. I agree, it really should be "gently caress you, you inflicted a lot of pain and anguish by following the cheeto man, and it will never be forgotten and its gonna be a long drat time to be forgiven for it, but if you truly are sorry work to do better regardless of how much people hate you for your stupid rear end decision"

If the roles where reversed, and the orange man was elected again, and republicans swept everything, and they really started to wind things up because they had a clear imperative Would renouncing your vote for democrats save you if you where gay, immigrant, disabled, etc? Probably not. If the democrats flipped everything would voting for trump matter beyond being called a boot licker til people forgot you where one?
