The growing sentiment that Fox fucking News has drifted too far left is exactly what I need today. Just awesome.

Honestly watching a lot of the different networks through this I thought the following:

 

CNN had the best board guy running that - had typical guest 

ABC News was great all around and most neutral

Fox overall was better than CNN outside of their typical block of nightly blowhards. Their reporters on the ground seemed to be better. 
 

Each had their own list of blow heads they had on so that was a wash.

Laugh now, Libtard. President Trump used this election to smoke out the snakes hiding amongst the righteous. Like unto Gideon, DJT sees who drinks with one hand while scowling warily, and who plunges their face into the stream like a hedonistic LGBTQXYZ pagan, and is best left behind.

For LO, though our numbers grow smaller, our power grows greater for it comes NOT from man, but from the WILL OF DONALD J. TRUMP.

Go hide in your downtown loft fortresses. For with three blasts of a Dodge Ram's horn, your exquisitely restored brick factory-cum-creative-workspace-condos shall CRUMBLE.

She "made peace" with him because she needed relevance.  Now that he's lost, she's sticking with Trumpism.  For now.

I mean it's fine if you want to challenge how fucking overbought political correctness has become, but when you sign a $69MM major media deal with NBC and then attempt to normalize blackface on your new, big platform, it's really just more stupidity than racism, but racism is still in the equation.

Bryan Curtis mentioned on the Press Box podcast that John King was like a star wr being dragged down by a terrible qb. Larry Fitz for most of career with Arizona or whatever. Seemed accurate to me, so many times King was trying to drill down into something interesting/informative only to be interrupted by Wolf saying something asinine. It was very annoying.

Turley is playing criminal defense attorney when speaking about Trump. Nothing wrong with that, but he should make it known what he is doing. He comes off as disingenuous and callow, and perhaps he is. 

Up there with the worst this cycle is Mollie Hemingway of the Federalist/Fox Contributor. She has taken the role of trump karen on Fox.

While not the whole story I think the coronavirus may have played a part in it. No ground game in the valley is no bueno. 
 

But there’s more to it than that. Trump got 20 percent of the Hispanic vote in California, 36 percent in Nevada, 37 percent in Arizona and 40 percent in Texas.  Dems need to figure out how that happened. 

They need to get some Latinos elected in areas with more Latinos voters.  It's only logical that they listen to their own.

It's not about going there just during campaign season. It is about being there day in and day out. People need to see you doing something. Que the story about the democratic headquarters in some areas being an abandoned building. That's the democratic party right now. An empty building everywhere but in DC. The Republicans are in those communities and can be seen there. Beto is trying to start a process in Texas, but he has a lot of headwinds and no support from the national party. 

No disagreement with being there and being in the community instead of 'above' the community or absent. That was the complaint many of us had in our R heavy district, though as well. The Rep only met with large donors or people he knew to be friendly. Try and reach him via any other method: silence. He only did town halls and the questions were pre-submitted. So, it's possible to lose the suburbs as well if one dodges constituents. The only reason it managed to work was mostly due to gerrymandering and people who continue to vote straight ticket no matter what. Now we have (Well, not me I voted for his opponent) managed to elect someone even worse: a move in candidate. Yuck.

TLDR - TexAgs poster thinks no voter would vote against Trump and leave the rest of the ballot blank. 

That phenomenon is called the "SAT effect" (if you don't know, leave the question blank). It is well known in voting patterns (up to 30% of ballots). And yes - Trump is hated enough that many will just "vote against him" and leave the rest of the ballot blank.

Well, that and the fact that his analysis is almost certainly wrong. He appears to just be subtracting vote totals without considering cross over voters.

Yep.

I think what some Trump supporters are missing is the fantastic turnout for both major candidates. Voters showed up for both candidates.

Polling seemed to assume Trump would not have the voter turnout that he did. Frankly - the turnout for Trump was unusual, but pollsters seem to underestimate the utter ignorance of that population and their devotion to a cult of personality.

With the turnout for trump, the models predicting a blowout for biden (he had great turnout) were not accurate on the spread (undercounted Trump support). Trumpkins went out and voted, but Dems got out more votes.  aggy just needs to wrap its head around the fact that some see trump as highly toxic and will vote accordingly.

Trump is a bully. Voters will vote against bullies when they truly believe their votes will end the reign of terror by the bully. Poli Sci 101. Voters had the power to end Trump's Presidency and they exercised that power against him.

This was published the last week of October; seems that a lot of influential conservative voices sign up...and just quit using Parler:

https://www.thedailybeast.com/parler-was-pitched-as-a-conservative-twitter-its-now-a-depository-for-hunter-biden-political-porn

 

Quote

Conservative meme-maker Benny Johnson took to Twitter in June with an announcement. After amassing hundreds of thousands of followers on the platform, he was done with it, having come to see Twitter as a “communist gulag dumpster fire.”

“10 years on Twitter,” Johnson tweeted. “I’m done. Disgusted with the censorship on this platform. Twitter is now so aggressively ANTI Free Speech, it’s not fun anymore.”

 

Quote

Having laid out his case, Johnson urged his fans to join Parler, the latest conservative social media network pitching itself as a “free speech” alternative for conservatives who feel the social media giants are biased against them.

A few months later, though, Johnson appears to be finished with Parler too. And, wouldn’t you know it, he’s back in the communist gulag dumpster fire that is Twitter dot com. Johnson, the chief creative officer of young conservative group Turning Point USA, hasn’t posted on Parler since August. But he still posts relentlessly on Twitter, tweeting eight times in just one hour on Tuesday alone.

 

Quote

Johnson’s abortive move to Parler took place amid an outcry from conservatives who alleged that Twitter was discriminating against them, citing a Twitter ban on self-proclaimed pro-Trump memesmith “Carpe Donktum” for copyright violations. Like Johnson, many of those conservative influencers threatened to take their social media talents elsewhere. And like Johnson again, many who touted Parler as their next stomping ground haven’t posted on the upstart social network in months.

Pugnacious former Trump director of national intelligence Ric Grenell posted on Twitter about his Parler account in June, declaring that he was joining the site because “I believe in free speech, diversity and tolerance.” But Grenell hasn’t posted on Parler since August. Instead, he’s stuck with Twitter to pursue his favorite hobby: admonishing reporters from various media outlets about the quality of their work.

 

Spoiler

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), a Trumpworld star, joined Parler in June amid conservative discontent with Twitter. But he hasn’t posted on Parler since Aug. 28. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), who declared that Parler would help “end the Silicon Valley censorship” in June, hasn’t posted on the site in nearly two weeks.

Plenty of bold-faced names on the right, including Fox News host Sean Hannity and Reps. Devin Nunes (R-CA) and Matt Gaetz (R-FL) still do post regularly on Parler. And the site continues to attract new users. The Parler app ranked 10th in the Apple App Store on Tuesday.

But it’s hard not to see the failure of a mass movement of high-profile users to materialize as a lost opportunity for the site. Having actively tried to build itself as a free speech-loving social media mecca, Parler has instead been used as a dumping ground for some of the most lurid material the internet has to offer. With conservatives once more insistent—this time at the close of the election—that Twitter is biased against them, Parler is no longer talked about as a utopic alternative. Instead, it’s the place where people are currently swapping lewd pictures that are purportedly of Hunter Biden.

The potential problems with widespread conservative adoption of Parler were obvious even in the heady days of June, when Trump supporters were claiming the site could replace Twitter. The site was dogged by questions about its restrictive terms of service agreement, which Parler eventually changed. Before he was fired from the Trump campaign and tackled by police in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, then-Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale spent much of his time on the site complaining about its lack of features, like an inability to repost comments and a requirement that people be logged into Parler before reading posts on the site.

As A-list internet conservatives lost interest in Parler, the site became a haven for conspiracy theorists. On Tuesday, a list of suggested topics on Parler included “#Pizzagate,” the conspiracy theory that has inspired two violent attacks on a Washington pizzeria. Promoters of the QAnon conspiracy theory, which imagines Donald Trump violently purging his enemies in the Democratic Party, have flocked to the site.

When the election season hit its stretch run and conservative media began pushing lewd and potentially incriminating emails from Hunter Biden, Parler became a natural repository for those doing the pushing.

GNews, a Chinese-language website tied to billionaire Chinese dissident and Steve Bannon patron Guo Wengui, has posted the images for days. But they’ve struggled to get traction with the major social media outlets, with Twitter automatically issuing temporary suspensions for accounts that link to some GNews stories, citing rules against revenge porn. So GNews urged its fans to take the images to Parler.

“Fellow fighters are switching to new battlefield (sic) of platforms like Parler and Gab,” a Tuesday article on GNews read.

The posting of the images would seem to violate Parler CEO John Matze’s insistance—back in June—that Parler’s rules included a ban on pornography of all kinds. But the lewd images, some of which depict explicit sex acts, have flourished on the site. One GNews staffer closely tied to the pictures has amassed more than 60,000 followers there, while another account devoted to posting the pictures has 12,000 followers.

Matze didn’t respond to a request for comment.

Beyond some inconsistency in the rules, though, Parler may face larger issues. After November growing its user base may prove harder when some of its most famous members appear to quickly grow bored with the site.

Trump ally Tom Fitton, the head of pro-Trump group Judicial Watch, had joined Parler in June, declaring that the site was “trying to draw a line against leftist censorship.” But Fitton posted on Parler just five times in October.

By comparison, Fitton tweeted 18 times on Tuesday alone.
