General Politics Discussion VIII [ARCHIVED] • Page 475

voters were aware i think, but my god were there some freak outs anyway. my text chains and this thread were next level fo a few hours.

 

Either doing weird shit like that, or strengthening the Justice Department to properly investigate wrongdoing in congress. Would be escalating but who knows

 

Sending good thoughts your way!

My dad and his family live in the city where the highest percentage of positive cases have been in Utah, so it was only a matter of time... Especially because my stepmom works at an retirement home where they've had quite a few cases recently.

 

interesting theory

 

Joe Biden's record is being a segregationist who wrote the crime bill

 

This might have been discussed elsewhere and for the record I'm in favor of the Kamala pick. But, do we think she helped move the needle everywhere or would having someone like Stacey Abrams from a potential swing vote state have helped Biden a little more in a close race like this?

 

0% chance the Democrats are smart enough for this. It's just not polite.

 

she did nothing

 

the vp on the ticket never makes a difference so idk if thats really a kamala problem

 

IF PA goes to Biden - at what time are we looking for it to catch up?

 

I don’t have anything to say but ”at least that was longer ago”

 

Someone give me a tl;dr of the House and Senate numbers pls tia

 

i don't think we know PA until tomorrow afternoon soonest

 

I'm not ready to think about 2024 yet.

 

yeah and at least Harris has had the dignity to pretend she supports universal healthcare. joe's been telling us he doesn't regret a thing, has no empathy for millennials, and was part of the civil rights movement

 

PA can legally count ballots received until Friday so we honestly might not know until Friday night or Saturday if it comes down to PA but hopefully it doesnt

 

Dorks

 

Assuming that Ossoff makes it to a runoff, he and Warnock probably should make "we're going to give you COVID relief, which you're not getting if we lose" a central tenet of their campaigns, right?

 

it might when the president is 77 years old (with a birthday in two weeks!)

 

if biden wins pa, ga, and nv then thats a pretty sizeable a victory with 5 states flipped and a give or take 2 or 3 point lead in the popular vote. but dems already rang the alarm so bad that idk how they sell it as a victory now

 

DO IT JOE DO IT.

looking at her committees, I don't really know what the best spot for her is. Maybe Ag. Secretary? (That'll probably go to some midwesterner though, or maybe Bullock)

 

How would Ossoff make it to a runoff? I'm not familiar with how that works

 

can he actually successfully do this? stop ballot counting? or is this just a hissy fit
