US US Politics General - Discussion of President Biden and other politicians

Some local Arizona fox news station showing that Katie Hobbs won a couple weeks ago.

They don't actually make these cards on the fly as events unfold or once the count has finalized.
All stations make these cards well in advance, one card for each possible outcome so that when "amazing, a complete tie, they all got exactly the same number of votes" they can just "put the card for outcome #3 on the board".

No one wants to sit in an office and "it is 11:30pm and we have a result, hurry hurry create a card from scratch so we can show who won."

The problem is that the people who HAD to take the shot were the people with jobs. People on gibs? They didn't have to do shit. So if Our Betters all DO keel over, I do kind of wonder who we'll be left with.

I "had" to get the shot. I turned in a fake card. Used it for two tech jobs so far without issue. More people were able to dodge the nigger cattle juice than you'd think.

If elections aren't rigged, why are they always, completely, and conveniently won or lost according to a dialectic of constant progress towards shit that makes my life worse?

If it helps, I am a zoomer and I voted red down the ballot.

You're also probably not hot wiring cars and posting it on Tik Tok before crashing and dying, so I'll give you a pass. It's really only 2/3s of Zoomers that are retards, I feel for you guys.

Even if you’re right, the way things are makes things feel like there’s some pressing issues at play, and this election may have been the last chance of solving them with diplomacy.

All Empires collapse and become shadows of what they were if they survive the collapse, Glubb's main point was that it takes 10-12 generations for the energy that built the empire initially to fade. It's not the end of the world, the Romans got two because no one was big enough outside to capitalize on the shift from Republic to Empire. America is no different and our geographic position is incredibly favorable. The Federal Republic is dead, probably has been since the Patriot Act really started the shift towards a surveillance state, the body just doing a bit of agonal breathing before it stops. America's too fractured for there to be a diplomatic solution, how can I reach common ground with people who want to chop kids balls and tits off?

I agree that focusing on PA was a mistake, but I disagree wholeheartedly that OZ "wasn't a bad candidate". If you trully think that, then you don't understand midwest voters.

There was never a single flying fuck of a chance that some east coast snake oil salesman was going to just buy 34 acres in PA (with a buyback clause agreed to with the sellers lmao), and win the senate election. Midwesterners are notoriously suspicious of outsiders anyways, and that's moreso with NJ/NY types (unless you're trump and ONLY trump). He's a floridian now, anyways.

We are basically the winterfell of the political landscape. It's always cold, we dont trust outsiders, and our women have beards. This is the way.

PA's not midwestern. Ohio's not even really midwestern. We, apparently, prefer our guys to only be corrupt as opposed to brain dead or actually dead. Take Jim Jordan, he's great. Except on Big Tech because Google owns him, basically.

That implies the media learned their lesson from 2016.

 

[Snekposter]

Mitch basically didn’t help any pro Trump candidate with GOP funding so it screwed them all over. He’d rather not get the senate than risk pro Trump people getting in.

There's a corollary to the Iron Law of Bureaucracy where in addition to focusing on the organization's power rather than its mission, its leaders will focus more on their position within the organization than its own power. Mitch would rather see the Republicans lose than give up his status as their head. That and Donny is going to come for his in 2024 because when you dethrone the king you don't keep him alive to cause trouble later.

I didn't believe you. Turns out it was even stupider. I can't wait for this country to fucking die.

I sure hope so! I'm a pureblood, and unless my friends are lying to me (possible but not likely), all of them got the shot(s) despite the fact that about 3/4 of them didn't want to. In my country, though, we had to use QR codes for proof, so it wasn't easy for them to fake it.

The good news is that we're hurdling in that direction, but it probably won't be as dramatic as people think it'll be. Look, I'm a massively politically cynical motherfucker who thinks the republic is dead and the more important question is what we build after, but most people aren't there yet. I don't blackpill though, that's counter productive. History is cyclical, it rhymes and no state is so special that it gets to escape that. I guess this sums it up for me pretty well

People blackpill because they still have hope that the Republic can be saved. Hell, some of the founders gave it a hundred years at best and you can argue they weren't far wrong.

This is so accurate it's scary.


And for how the stock market feels after last night:

Dow Jones: -646.89 (-1.95%)
Nasdaq: -263.03 (-2.48%)
S&P 500: -79.54 (-2.08%)

Peak Clown World moment when Lake wins and Hobbs and the left scream about the ballot issues and the polls being closed too early in MariCOPEa.

On a bit of a silly side-note: I have a co-worker who is a dipshit low-to-mid 20-something year old. Dude's a total dick horker and pop media consoomer. So basically your average chunky soy-boy Hasan Piker fan.

Anyway he was buttfrazzled over the election today. Mostly over Texas and Florida, neither of which are states we live in.
Basically was ranting about how this was "our" chance to wipe out all the "fascist scum" and they [Blue donkey tribe] blew it.
A co-worker told him to calm down and that this is the same shit that happens every mid-term. He just got more pissy and made some comment about how all republicans should be hunted down like the nazi's they are, bla bla bla, same thing he bitches about every time anything political happens because politics are just even more retarded sports teams now.

What gets me is we are in a state that re-elected its democratic governor. Yet they are still malding about fucking Florida.

I don't know what I should be laughing at more. Red wave believers black-pilling hardcore or Blue wavers getting super mad over the fact republicans still exist and they didn't get their fully automated luxury gay space communism one party state from a fucking mid-term election. I kind of get the red wave people being overly optimistic, but I don't get the blue wave retards thinking they are owed a super-majority in everything everywhere. Like what the fuck, everything is so divided I don't know how people think that a total blowout one way or another is possible currently. Barring a disaster with a massive bodycount that unites people to a common enemy, or a honest to god alien invasion.

My takeaway is that the "color wave" bullshit is stupid.

These losers are always talking shit, but they’ll never make the first punch themselves. They use the government to do it for them, hiding behind the “law.” Conservatives have been wanting to fix this problem ourselves for years, the liberals will never give an opportunity to fight fairly.

It is amazing how right Scott Presler was in regards to the election. Then again, he was on the ground in both Florida and New York. According to him things have become very tribal with Democrats and Republicans with both sides not caring about the issues anymore. Their states can be crime ridden wastelands for all they care so long as their guy is the one charge that is all that matters. Independents though it is different. Many Independents don't like the way this country is going and despise Biden yet at the same time they don't like the leadership in the GOP and what the GOP is offering. McConnell is hated with Independents and many feel he and his cronies will just use their power to promote their neocon agenda. Remember that a lot of the candidates that the GOP backed were hand picked by McConnell and that McConnell took away money from Trumps candidates who were in tight races in order to help his neocon allies win their races. It is not hard to see why many Independents probably didn't bother to vote and skip this midterm out.

One of the reason DeSantis isn't going to have the success outside of Florida that Trump does is that Trump actually gets those kinda sorta conservatish sometimes voters out to the poll. What's DeSantis's in with those, mostly blue collar, guys?

Scott’s a pretty cool guy. Wonder how long it’ll be before he’s talking about needing to always be wearing protective vests/armor and packing heat when it comes to politics. The picture he paints isn’t pretty.

Election Day ought to be a national holiday at this point, if the GOP had any smarts left.

After seeing polling machines break down in AZ.

And conservative business and institutions should give employees the day off.

Those who use the argument like "conservatives work for a living and vooting only takes 5 minutes while liberal live off gibs and do no work" style arguments can go get raped by the eternal jogger.

A small glimmer of hope for Portland. Hopefully in time we will see more tough on crime candidates win council races in Portland and Seattle. I really hope so. I used to really love taking trips and shopping around Portland and Seattle especially their bookstores (Portland has the largest bookstore in the world. Did you know that?). Now I am terrified of even driving though Seattle and Portland. Hopefully this is a sign of good things to come.
