I am so thrilled tonight! I spoke with my mom and asked her how my dad was taking the election. She said after every network declared Biden the winner, he turned off Fox News and said “Well, glad t

Yeah this shit is pretty fucking over. Covid was the nail in the coffin, when you see the early voting numbers in texas and they line up with the rest of the states who have started you will understand. People are not fucking around this election, there are 10s of millions more voters registered this election and all of them intend to vote. There is 0 chance for a Trump win if people vote and I've never seen people so excited to vote. 

I voted this weekend, felt good to shoot the big fuck you at Trump!

Sure. Anyone who votes for trump is a fascist nazi pedophile unclefucker. Or- you could take it at face value that they were polite and respectful hosts, had a nice night with their family, and then they gave them a little shit. 
but nah- he should probably respond by refusing to allow them to ever see their grandkids and maybe blow up their home for good measure, just to be safe.

I absolutely think that was her intention. But politics is probably the main obstacle that has drifted us apart from my in-laws (my wife's and their decision, not mine) over the last few years. So the whole situation has really ended up being sad from my point of view. 

 

 

 

 

This is what children do.  Hank's in-laws, not Hank.  Good grief.

Deplorable, stupid, gullible, ultra-partisan or willfully ignorant.

One (or more) are your only choices. If you do not get that - then you are one or more of them. That’s it.

Enabling, overlooking, accommodating are some words I would contribute.  A surge in voting participation isn't occurring because the populace is that inspired by Biden.  Rather, it is a condemnation of Trump and those that have failed to challenge him appropriately.

They're scheduled to go on Thursday.  Both Biden and Harris.  Did something happen?

 

Nothing happened.  I’ve read a lot of articles from local Arizona media. I’ve been following that state very closely the whole cycle. I took an interest in it after McCain and Jeff flake opposed Trump. 
 

the main criticism from Arizona voters including lots of independents is that Trump is all over the state and Biden hasn’t been here yet or been nearly as visual. I’ll shut up about it when they visit the state.

That clip highlights something that has been bothering me about how Fox News and the like speak about trump. Maybe it’s just the first time I’ve been paying this close attention, but I can’t remember any mainstream media exalting a president like they do with Trump. And I just don’t understand it. I get talking up your guy. But I don’t understand the desire to build him up to such mythical standards. He doesn’t just work hard, he works harder than anyone who has ever lived. He’s not just fighting covid, he’s fighting it with a fervor that no one else can muster. And not only do I not get the desire to do it, I don’t see how it’s not plainly transparent bullshit. Even if the man worked hard, why say he has a work ethic that the rest of us can only dream of? It’s so over the top that, at least at the fringes of their target market, it has to turn some people off.  

it comes off as goofy North Korean style propaganda and I don’t fucking get it.

It's what insecure people do.  This is a psychosis we are dealing with.  These are insecure, broken people that don't know how to deal with their stature in the world.  They've been brought up thinking they are above everyone else (American, white) and have realized in the past couple of decades that they are absolutely NOT that.  This is their defense mechanism.  They have been brought to critical mass with the election of this carnival barker and they must now be put down.

It comes off that way because it is. Remember, in North Korea even if you recognize that it is fake as all get out, there is nothing else to watch.

Here, I suspect it's because you don't have to think. You just do. The leader can do no wrong and has to be exalted to the nth degree because otherwise those little nagging moments can't be overcome as easily. In every society I'm guessing there will always be a percentage that is immune and a percentage that is susceptible. You can't kill or sway them all so some buy it and others hide it. At least we aren't to the stage where Fox and OANN are all there is, but if this doesn't work on election day, the day of free press is gone.

Biden constantly out there saying, "I beat the socialist."

Meanwhile, Bernie is actively campaigning for him. Also campaigned his ass off for Hillary who is an even bigger piece of shit than Joe.

I hate these fucking people so much.

Seriously, how do you not get this? That is 100% true and 100% what he has to say to win the election. Nose, face, you.

Anti-socialism is one of the biggest talking points I hear from my deplorable family.

It’s about the only way I can explain you and your kind’s behavior. It’s why y’all didn’t support Hillary. Y’all want it to get so bad it’ll create some popular uprising, like a general strike.

Joe shitting on Bernie is just politics. Not sure if it's good politics -- he probably alienates as many leftists as he wins over centrists with that line -- but it's just politics nonetheless. I am sure Bernie doesn't care and in fact may be encouraging it.

OTOH the rape crack is pure moderate Dem / Never Trump TDS in full effect.

JFC this is bullshit, not least because the likes of Hillary and Biden would do very little to arrest the slide into misery that could result in a general strike.

Bernie's voters were 2x more loyal to Hillary than Hillary's to Obama. You are dead wrong on the facts of this issue.

I doubt Bernie encourages it, but he's always been a guy who goes with the Democrats' wishes so he's just going to soldier forward and receive zero appreciation for it.

I just think there's a way to say "I'm not a socialist" that isn't so hostile to Bernie. How about you point out that Bernie himself isn't even an actual socialist? Just something that isn't just a "FUCK YOU!" to the guy who came 2nd, helped you out in debates, and is actively working for you?

Where did he do that? He said he beat Bernie. And he did. 

Is Bernie "the socialist"? What does that mean?

Several hours ago, the website for new voter registrations in Florida “magically” went down.  The deadline to register is at 11:59pm tonight.  Website still isn’t back up.

I'm sure Gov DeSantis being the principled and humble public servant that he is will ask for a couple day extension to ensure democratic values are protected.

It means he is the candidate who describes himself as a democratic socialist, who, among the democratic candidates, pushed a variety of socialist ideas the hardest, and, more importantly, would be described by people who might be convinced to not vote for Trump as the socialist, aka the boogeyman commonly used by the right. Being the guy that beat the boogeyman might buy Biden enough cred to convince those people to abstain from voting for Trump. I don't think Bernie takes it personally. Neither should you.

Nah, Joe is a good guy. He would actually hang out with normal people and feel genuine warmth and compassion towards them. He'd hug the kids and actually care about them. He's fine.

I do believe some of this is rhetoric that Joe is using to keep the rather large group of disparate voters together, but I agree that a different word choice would be preferable. The problem you (we?) have is that a lot of the young people are smart and some of the older people (not you, I know you're older) but some of the older people that are leaving right now, right now they are leaving are not as bright, and I'm wondering if maybe the campaign is trying to keep it as simple as possible. It's pandering and it's a little maddening, but if it's working, I might say just stick with it. I really would like to see some health care fixes get pulled back leftward before we are all walking COVID wounded and thus I really would like to get Trump out of office. Other reasons, too, but that one is very compelling for all of us.

I would love to hear the intelligent commentary behind a hostile remark about my wife or daughter being raped.

I'll give it to you.  All of you purists sitting out or voting for Jill Fucking Stein led us to this.  

One Trump's SC overturns Roe and your daughter have to deliver her rape baby full term, thank your purity by name the baby Jill Stein or Bernie Sanders.  

Get your fucking bitch ass out to vote for Joe Biden.

I just checked their website. Looked like it was working again. There's about an hour and a half left I think. I didn't try and register though, cause that would be illegal but I took it as far as I could to see if it was running. If the problem is submitting it, then that's going to stink.
