My skin has taken on an orange hue, not out of solidarity with Trump but due to massive beta carotene overdose.

Raw carrots are amazing I don't know who the fuck would tell you otherwise but you can tell them they're fucking wrong.

Is anybody else's investments doing really well right now?

I wasn't expecting the stock market to be in such good shape considering the state of the election.

Not that i'm complaining.

Mine took a big shit yesterday, mostly because I invested most of my stonks in McCormicks, which lost $10/share. I somewhat made it back with my shares of Coca-Cola and MGM, but not really.

It is an interesting point, is democracy worth sacrificing for supposed hope & positive energy? I’m in the middle to say the least: trump is a screeching blowhard, and I would love it If he would just shut the fuck up, and Biden last two speeches did make me feel good, but i Also think that democracy should not be thrown in the trash for those supposed feel goods! Having hope is all well and good, but it means nothing when your rights are being shit on! It just becomes a tool that assholes dangling infront of a lost populace to gain power! That’s how hitler came into power...

remember 2008? remember "hope & change"? and obama was such a great orator too, so presidential! and then right afterwards they voted a screeching blowhard into the white house. almost like it means fuck all what someone says and how good it sounds if he sucks at anything else. if it's that important just buy an audiobook or listen to asmr videos.

next question would by why biden made you feel so good. what did he say that trump didn't, and I don't mean how he said and what he looked like. because if you actually listen to what trump says it's not much different, what do you think MAGA actually means and who is included in that to "unite"? the only ones who need to worry about that are a) chinese and b) illegal immigrants. yet apparently trump's a fascist, sexist, mass-murder and orange.

personally I don't really give a fuck if trump shitposts on the internet, so does most of the planet. he's also a rich dude that likes pretty women and loves to fuck. also what half the planet does (or wish they could). is he the kind of guy I'd hang out with and have a beer with? nah, but that certainly makes him more relatable than some career swamp creature. then I look at what he does and that's good enough for me. and even if I disagree I look at the alternatives and it's an even easier choice.

If Dynastia gets thread banned I'm going to write to whoever the media decides is President and ask them to take away Kiwi Farms CDA§230 protection by Executive Order for violating viewpoint neutrality.

then he should at least put some effort in it, channeling his inner jenstark101 doesn't add anything to the thread.

Political Science is a badly named field as there's nothing scientific about it. It should be a subset of History (History of American Politics, Government or Foreign Relations), Psychology (Political Consultancy/Operations) or Mathematics (Political Analysis/Statistics). It's not a science because the study of politics is historical/philosophical and the public is wildly unpredictable; all of these can be and are subjective (Marxists view history and politics via their own peculiar lens whereas most people simply study events and persons then draw their own conclusions; Marx should be taught as a failed political philosophy and government system imo).

I would call it political studies because I preferred the humanistic side, but I guess I'm fine with the name. Poli sci integrates the products (and sometimes methods) of multiple disciplines to investigate, describe, and categorize elements of human culture. It is dependent on, but not subordinate to, history, philosophy, economics, law, and area studies. You can't put it in one without excluding the others.

The different paradigms or lenses, such a Marxism, are objects of study. They must be understood in order to understand the actions of political actors who adhere to them, even if one disagrees with that paradigm. Most people will adopt one over another, which doesn't reflect badly on the field, it just means there is some debate. There are even some cranks who believe things that are obviously untrue just to because they want them to be true. There probably always will be.

Edit: And a lot of those cranks go into academia or media. They give a bad name to those of us who just saw a big complex thing and wanted to know how and why it works the way it does.

So I was asleep, what did I miss?

Why did someone claim that RCP retracting the win for Biden in Penn wasn't a big deal? Sounds like shit may turn against Biden in the next few weeks if more evidence of fraud is discovered (and corrected).

Tons of blue states are now grey, international press is finally changing discourse, "glitches" keep being found, the software that had some glitches (dominion) has been linked to "supermajority" a marxist group funded by soros (because apparently we're playing conspiracy bingo irl now) and the court cases have been launched and seem promising. Oh also lots of people finding that they've supposedly voted with their "maiden name" or in the case of trannies "dead name" despite having only voted with the real name in their experience, which would indicate impersonation has occurred.

I'm not going to say "tons" of blue states turned grey. The situation right now is basically the same as it was last night, only with more shitposting and overnight doomposting.

With all this new information about the forces behind these 'glitches' and 'software trouble' my dream scenario now involves using our various terrorism related powers to uproot the entire Soros machine and freeze every asset and organization he has in the US. Funding all those insane DA races successfully made him arrogant, and lead him to reach to far by interfering with DJT's election.

Give me my rainbows if you want, I just yearn to see evil defeated and good triumph for once in this world.
