US Joe Biden News Megathread - The Other Biden Derangement Syndrome Thread (with a side order of Fauci Derangement Syndrome)

Let's pretend for one moment that he does die before the election, just for the funsies. What happens then? Will the nomination revert to option number 2, aka Bernie Sanders? Or will his running mate automatically replace him just the way Vice-President is supposted to step in after the Big Man in the White House chokes on a piece of matzo? Does he even have a running mate yet?

If one of these "GOP" hacks and any common leftist were on fire, I would piss on the leftest in a half hearted attempt to quell the flames. Then I would be out of piss.

There has to be a special level of hell for spineless cucks like this who jump at every opportunity to sell us out.

It does explain one thing, the protests against CRT are nationwide yet why does Fox News concentrate on this one county lol.

It's literally the county where most of the swamp workers live. I think it's one of the wealthiest counties in the entire country, so this is inside their gay little bubble. Manhattan and the beltway are the two big areas in politics.

I'll address the mail-in ballots question first: In my post that you quoted, I made the distinction about mass mail-in voting. I'm not against absentee ballots and mail-in ballots by request. Mass mail-in ballots entail that everyone on the voter registry receives a ballot in the mail, whether they wanted one or not. I don't doubt for a second that this was abused in every single state that utilized this in 2020. For the 2020 Election, I kid you not, I had received THREE separate mail-in ballots: one with my maiden name, one with my married name, and one with an old address. Because I'm an honest person, of course, I shredded all three and voted in person. I highly doubt that everyone else was just as honest.

Thank you for clarifying. I'd argue that you being honest also comes under the "optics" thing. The other side certainly has no qualms against cheating so the only way to force them to agree to legislate against it is to play by the same rules. Like in sports, pointing out cheating only gets you so far. Actively using their own rules against them will get their attention real quick.

I think the entire mail-in process itself is suspect. How do they even validate whether the vote was by the person who the ballot was sent to? Signature validation is ultimately pointless, it's not like they're validating it against anything. I'm not sure how it is in other states but at least in my state you only have to request mail-in ballots once when you register. Following that, the ballots are always automatically sent out without input from the voter (they send out a voter info booklet along with a notice mentioning that my ballot will be sent by mail in a couple weeks time). More often than not there's no attempt to clean up voter rolls of people who moved out of the state or passed away so I'm sure a not-insignificant number of mail-in ballots sent out/received even before mass mail-in were fradulent. Even in the case where a state makes voters request ballots for every election, there's nothing really stopping a random person who moved in after you replying to the notice sent by mail requesting a ballot. Maybe an online system where you have to verify your current name and address but there are enough people in this country who are not tech savvy enough to work with something like this.

For reference, I requested mail-in ballots when I initially registered. I'm lucky that I haven't moved since I registered so I haven't run into the issue you highlighted but I realize when I do move, the onus is on me to notify the state so they don't get a phantom vote on my behalf from some seedy fucker. That being said, I don't trust my state to remove me from the registration list in a timely manner anyway so I'm not sure what the recourse is there.

Actually, now that I think about it I don't recall my state even asking me for proof of citizenship when I registered to vote. I only put in my driver's license number and I'm not sure our DMV even tracks citizenship status.

And now I'll address the "commie" pejorative: Do you feel the same way about leftists calling everyone they disagree with "Hitler" or "fascists"? Because the media continues to be on their side about that, and continues to spin narratives about everything to justify the terminology. I'm fine with the GOP calling the Democrats commies at this point-- because that's what they are, especially with how they continuously bend over for the CCP. As long as they are outspoken about the truthful narrative and actually start to fight for their causes, then I think that people will listen.

If by the same way you mean I ignore their opinions as soon as they call someone "Hitler" or "fascist", then yes but not because of what I learned in high school history. Just the fact that more than a handful of times when I didn't take their namecalling at face value and looked into it deeper I found their reee-ing usually twisted the actual quote or policy to the extreme. So since then I've just defaulted to just straight up turning my brain off in a sense because I wasn't going to get anything useful out of listening to them whinge.

To add on further to my initial reply, I think for a lot of people the term "commie" doesn't really have any meaning outside of whatever they learned in high school and college because they're A) not immigrants from eastern europe that actually dealt with it and B) not veterans who actually had to go fight against them. Given the comparatively rosy picture communism is given compared to Hitler and NatSoc in today's media/education, that term doesn't carry the weight you'd expect it to.

That's the correct way to phrase it, too. These people infantilize everybody (including themselves) to an absurd degree. No one can take responsibility for their choices, daddy government chooses everything for you.

More specifically, Daddy Government makes all the choices for you

a. As long as THEY control Daddy Government
b. As long as it's THEIR decisions Daddy Government is enforcing (i.e.: TX abortion ban is BAD daddy government)

They literally think they're your masters and get to make decisions for you. That's why there won't be a peaceful divorce. There's no way the left would ever let their serfs leave peacefully.

The other hot take I have seen is to sack all of them. Good idea, sack all the pilot during a time when employers are struggling to get people back into work. I'm sure those pilots can be easily replaced.

They literally think that people are fungible, so yeah, they'll just import some pilots from Somalia or Saudi Arabia or something. (What could go wrong?!) After all, the airline industry has a noted lack of diversity, and this would be a great time to fix that. Never let a disaster go to waste!

Were I the DNC I would be more worried about the deciding chunk of your voter base that you just alienated with a mandate of questionable legality. Then start worrying about the moderate Dems who you are economically fucking in the ass. Then worry about the progs and Marxists who are not going to fall for your pliable establishment candidate again. Then and only then you should worry about trying to get the dumbest of the GOP on board.

This is news? I thought we knew this months ago.

This is why I keep saying (I think to Gehenna?), that the Democrats being broke is utterly irrelevant.

You mean they can just rely on Facebook instead of spending their own money, right?

Except that means they owe Facebook favors. Political capital.

And they just spent the past week having a literal ogre accusing Facebook of causing and profiting off of 1/6 and "zomg literally killing" people by allowing half of the country to communicate on the platform when 8% of the country has deemed that 50% to be literal hitlernazifashists.

In short: Unless Zucc instinctively flinches and overcorrects to appease the left, I wouldn't count on Facebook going out of their way to help the DNC anytime soon.

Careful now. If you compare Joe Biden to Mr. Rogers one more time, he’ll ride his trolley down from the great neighborhood in the sky and sing the song that destroys the earth.

That sounds less like a threat and more like an act of mercy at this point.

That post is bullshit. Very few elected Democrat politicians (outside of maybe people like the Squad) believe in critical race theory or #BelieveWomen feminism, they do it because it's the "progressive" thing to do that makes them look enlightened. Like do you really think for a minute Joe "Superpredators" Biden or his fellow career politicians who voted for those crime bills think Black Lives Matter or give two shits about troons? Biden grew up in a segregated state and associated with segregationist politicians like Senator James Eastland of Mississippi who he praises to this day.

 

[General Disarray]

The Democrats have absolutely no reason not to simply shunt all their get-out-the-vote efforts to NGOs. I seem to remember that it worked to get Doug Jones into his seat, as temporary as that was.

Basically, not a single NGO should be involved in the elections process at any point if you want elections to be free and fair.

I posted waaaay back in the thread about the "non profit org" that mailed me a prefilled request for mail-in ballot. Got quite a few of them from them, actually. So I kept one and looked the sender up. They had a neutral website, seemed like a pop-up slapped-together outfit that was brand new; further digging proved they were anti-Republican (ie not explicitly pro-Dem). So I checked further and discovered that they were also listed on the state Election Commission website as a resource. I emailed the commissioner and pointed out that the mere presence of that biased org alone on the EC website was tacit approval of said organization and not a good look.

Now with the digging going on into various city election commissions in WI I think I'll email those screenshots and emails to the person leading the fight. I mean, sure it ain't no smoking gun but every little bit helps, especially if that org has been scrubbed from the state website (which I have not yet checked).

 

[Gehenna]

This is news? I thought we knew this months ago.

This is why I keep saying (I think to Gehenna?), that the Democrats being broke is utterly irrelevant.

Them being broke does matter, because its not just they who are low on liquid funds. Though it's worth noting that the article mentioned is -massively- overstating the effects of what Zuckerberg did. "Oh yes, he multiplied the spending to get the vote out by a ton!" yah... to diminishing returns with every dollar. You'll notice that the article specifically cites Green Bay.... Green Bay is a Wisconsin city, and one of the ones I outright mentioned having large sums of money just disappear in. That was several months back, so what was learned since?

Well, this particular section of the money was used as a massive "Get out the vote" operation, aimed specifically at Democrat rich areas. And the end result? They increased the vote by about 20% in thoise districts, approximating about .3% of the Wisconsin vote total. Not bad, not bad... except it's awful. For an increase of almost 6x the money, they got .3% extra vote in Wisconsin. Total.

This was, if anything, a massive failure.

 

[X Prime]

.3% sounds pretty helpful when you consider the victory margins lately.

 

[Gehenna]

.3% sounds pretty helpful when you consider the victory margins lately.

Most victory margins ended up being between .8 and 2%. .3 might nudge over a super close race, but not by any standard metric. And that was -with- the cheating, with Republicans willing to turn a blind eye, and literally everything coming up Democrat with mass mail in ballots.

.3 is -awful- returns.

Addendum: @X Prime Right, I think I can articulate something I think you are missing about the billionaires supporting the Democrats and why it doesn't really matters.

Return on investment.

This isn't necessarily a money thing, so much as a general "What do they get in return for their money, during the election", how much impact do they really have? The answer is.... pretty fucking tragic. Half a billion for .3% in -Wisconsin alone-? That's awful. And while these people have more money than the human mind is capable of comprehending, it's not infinite. What is more, the vast majority isn't even liquid assets, it's stuff they cannot spend, and if they convert it to liquid assets their ability to make more is reduced. So you have a ton of money spent for very little in the way of returns, and the result is... well, the situation you see now. Right now all that money spent in 2020 is not only not recouped, they are if anything losing more money unless their name is Jeff Bezos... and Bezos happens to be the least supportive of the major Billionaires.

Any time big business is in favor of more government regulations, it's to fuck over small businesses.

Make no mistake: if Zuck comes out in support of an "oversight committee" or whatever, it's to make sure no other social media platforms can compete against him. Facebook can absorb regulatory costs; small platforms cannot.

A $15K fine can literally shut down a small business, and the Dems have spent the last 18 months practically making it illegal for small businesses to exist.

There is also, literally nothing else in Green Bay sans the Stadium and the tourist $$$ that they bring in. The paper mill is gone, the factories are closed, the health care industry there is in the proverbial dumpster. Without the revenue that tourism brings in Green Bay is no better off than any tourist trap town in America. Tack on a shitty economy, gas prices through the roof, and mandates by all parties to get the shot or fuck off even towns like Green Bay will suffer tremendously.
