General Politics Discussion VIII [ARCHIVED] • Page 470

Jesus christ. tbh with you I assumed that that was just Trump insulting the intelligence of his own supporters, as he does. I never expected that many people to actually believe something so ridiculous. I just assumed it was some combination of religious conservatism and lack of Biden outreach.

 

lot of corn between two beacons of pollution.

 

Whilst I agree, the UK isn't literally fighting each other and burning buildings haha. It's a more stealthy collapse as a country and Boris' levels of support are plummeting daily.

 

I’m tempted to do it again solely because that one guy got so mad that his only posts in this thread last night were attacking me for it lol

 

Being an MMA fan, I know Tito can’t speak basic words without fumbling so this is a fucking joke lmao.
have been laughing about it all morning.

 

Sherrod Brown 2024

 

Was thinking about this earlier, and it came to me that I always seem to forget just how big this damn state is. LA in itself seems like a state within the state which is why I think it’s outrageous to me to see all these props pass/fail

 

He's a huge Q guy now too.

 

The problem with this tweet, though, and I hate to give Biden any credit whatsoever, but Biden supports raising the minimum wage to $15/hour. It's been a very public part of his platform.

 

lol don't know if this makes me feel more or less nervous

afterall the most likely scenario, by far, going into election day was a Biden win...

 

Ugh, CNN, why is Wolf allowed back to do this?

 

Ah, yes, just tell Michigan to stop counting votes. That's okay and totally normal!

 

To quote Kendrick: "There's levels to it".

 

I mean, I'm fine with Michigan stopping counting votes now, guess Trump really doesn't want to keep being president after all

 

doesn't that make it a communication problem? Like sure its in his platform, but do people realize that? Do they associate Biden with raising the minimum wage? Were there ads saying "Minimum wage should be $15/hour, vote Joe Biden to get this done"??

 

So, I'd imagine we'd know the result of the state when Maricopa releases their count tonight.

 

Joe Biden calls for $15 minimum wage at first 2020 campaign stop

He's been talking about it since day one, low information voters ftw

 

Democratic Party, IMO, has always been historically bad at effectively communicating and sticking/pounding its messaging.

 

sure. there are definitely portions of it that are worse here. there's also parts that are worse in the UK, which isn't the only other country in the world that has edged towards authoritarianism. again, it isn't unique.

 

They called Arizona too god damn early I’m guessing *pukes*

 

Should Biden just call Trump today and say "yo, if you concede, I'll pardon you" lol

 

Right wing authoritarianism/nationalism has been on the rise in tons of European countries in the last five years. Germany, UK, France, Spain, etc. It's bad!

 

Just looking through the map on NYT website, I'm not liking what I see in the house races. Seems like there is a good chance Republicans net 10-15 seats. But I imagine many of those races that haven't been called still have mail in ballots to be counted that could help democrats, so who knows.
