General Politics Discussion VIII [ARCHIVED] • Page 716

I swear no disrespect to the poll workers but it feels like Philadelphia and Allegheny county each just have one person counting votes haha

 

I feel nothing but sympathy for the poll workers in Philadelphia - they're being slowed down and threatened by extremists at every step of the way for this.

 

This is the shit being pumped into peoples brains. It’s going to cause absolute panic and incite.

 

Ah. Also explains some of it.

 

Did not expect to open this thread and see someone saying Israel aint that bad.

 

I love when people complain that he goes and isolates at his vacation homes. Yeah, it’s probably not the best look but if I’m being real: if I had a vacation home somewhere warm and sunny you bet your ass I’ll go isolate there.

And I didn’t want to double quote you but our bar/restaurant here made zero changes and the local PD that’s hired to patrol here so many hours a month already told them they won’t be enforcing it.

 

my math shows we need at least 4900 to hit 0.5%.

 

We talk about how bad Tucker Carlson is but Lou Dobbs is also insanely evil

 

this should be enough to push it well over 0.5% though. just gotta wait. a few hour hours now

 

Insanity. It's shit like this that led to Fox News being taken off the air over here.

Fox News broke the UK's broadcasting rules

 

I'm sure it's been discussed but what's with this seemingly new-ish trend of turning politics into fanfiction that i'm seeing everywhere? it seems like people love suddenly turning some dickhead republican babyface for the sake of some narrative. like all the mccain stuff. i saw a tweet from joe walsh and you had people underneath like "thank you for joining the resistance" and shit. and it seems to seep into wanting to humanise utterly evil people. like how ben shapiro had that tweet on election night and so many people react with "you know, i've never once agreed with ben shapiro, yet here he is being the voice of reason". no, he's just saying what a thousand people are saying but you want the narrative of some shitstain "turning good" or whatever. the same with all the weird rbg and mccain in heaven stuff. i'm just ranting but this is all extremely bizarre to me.

 

Ugh I was hoping for more of a break before going back to being Mad Online

 

We’re all sorkinists now

 

Yep. Learning to code ain’t some panacea. Fuck Rahm. Get his dumbass off fucking tv.

 

John King saying their caution in calling PA is based on Trump's attacks on the process. Surely they're well aware that Trump will attack them no matter how long it takes for them to call it?

 

just a lil PSA y’all!

 

It‘ll never happen, but it’d legitimately be pretty dope if this were used to win over some Republicans to the side of ranking choice. Weaponize frustration to trick these dorks into supporting democracy, lol.
