2020 U.S. Presidential Election - Took place November 3, 2020. Former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden assumed office January 20, 2021.

[Shroom King]

Most annoying thing about a Trump loss is going to be all the liberals going "You're just mad because Trump lost" to every criticism of the Biden-Harris administration.
Biden could start half a dozen new wars, fuck people over on healthcare and generally fuck everything up and Liberals will still lick his shoes to a high polish.

The things those fuckheads don't understand is that the whole world kind of depends on the US economy. Everyone was waiting for the results of the election to see how America's economy would pan out in the near future (ie. more lockdowns or not). With the DNC going full spaz with the ballot printer it has pushed everything back. Companies looking to call people back to work are now thinking of more layoffs because they don't know what to expect between Trump and the DNC. A lot of those liberals might be getting a pink slip for Christmas because their precious DNC just couldn't leave well enough alone.

Don't worry, if the lid is blown off and these states send electors to vote Trump, they'll call to abolish the EC. Again.

This will become a standard left wing talking point because it's impossible to amend the constitution to abolish the EC because the states wouldn't vote to remove their own power and 3/4 are needed for ratification.

 

[FAQnews Correspondent]

Can't imagine kids even learn about checks and balances these days.

It's why nobody gives a shit about downballot races even though they're super important.

Reminder that the accusations are not about "widespread" voter fraud. Theyre about TARGETED fraud (i.e., focused on the states Biden needed to win but couldn't win legitimately).

I wonder if this is why the no *widespread* fraud narrative is forming now. So many narrative shifts in two days. I can't handle it!

Just remove it for companies where a government official has an account that directly represents their office, not just a personal account of a gov't official. That's my solution: those are the only group of people that can't delete or block people on Twitter. Might as well force Twitter's hand and make it a public forum.

I'm a bleeding-heart half-lolbertarian, so I propose a carrot approach: allow social media sites to register as a "digital public forum", wherein they relinquish the right to remove any accounts or content that is not in violation of US law, and in return they get a tax credit or somesuch. I know we all want to see Silicon Valley get what it fucking deserves, but I'd honestly prefer a solution that minimizes governmental power creep.

You mean they'll ask to abolish state legislatures.

I don't trust these people to exercise well what little knowledge of civics they have.

Something I have been thinking on. I think the media has been huffing it’s own paint in couple.

1) They have spent so much time talking about the dumb redneck trump voter who doesn’t know anything.

B) They still believe that they are the end all be all for information.

iii) They have not kept up with the spread of information sharing abilities the internet has brought.

These things have them stuck in a place where they believe they can say whatever they want cause the stupid drumpf voter is to stupid to think critically about what we are telling them. And even if the silly rednecks find it strange there is no where else they can go to get a different opinion. And even if someone does work it out. They won’t be able to get the message out.

Give me my rainbows but what we are seeing with Fox News and others is the old guard media dying in real-time. When crowder has a bigger audience then CNN and Fox News you would think someone would take this as A CLUE!!!

 

[MrJokerRager]

This is going to happen over and over again, and then when they find out the actual result, they'll bellyache about muh slaveowners, muh white men, muh out of date, muh urban zones should control everything etc. This ignorance of civics is by design.

The best way to deal with spoiled brats is through teasing them is a sense by defying them. Don't give in to their retarded demands.

Trump is "acting" like he already got his next term. Telling Biden to fuck off over his transition team. Acting the same way he always does on Twitter. Firing and appointing new people. People about to lose don't act like that. Maybe it's an act but he is doing it to let his voters know, he isn't going anywhere.

They're also calling for abolishing the 2 senators per state rule, because they think they deserve more (once again, showing they know zero about civics).

I joined at such a good time. I wasn't involved in any of the big LOLcow movements so I can't really interact with those threads, but I am a sperg about politics and real world situations, so this thread was a godsend.

Any solution that doesn't involve Cruz regularly threatening Dorsey with §230 removal and total financial ruin for putting a disclaimer sticky on some granny in Texas's tweet is unacceptable to me.

I'm no lolbertarian. I like the smack of firm government and the yelps of the firmly governed.

A big problem with such things is how do you moderate assholes? Websites have done that for decades, even Dear Feeder bans people just for being dumb and argumentative in chat, and changing 230 would be... well, interesting.

They can call for that shit all they like, it's literally in the Constitution and they can't do shit about it.

They know they'll get the rope if the radical wing of the DNC takes over, so why bother helping them? Hopping on the hope said wing gets clipped in time?

THEY LITERALLY WANT A SECOND HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

 

[The Wicked Mitch]

You say that, but these people knew enough four years ago to talk about abolishing the EC.

It's like they only know what they're told, when they're told, for however long they're told to know it.

I'll take "What is demoralization?" for $500

I am already picturing in my head hordes of troons, dangerhairs and soyboys literally shaking everytime a major GOP personality says something so incredibly based and bold.

By simple virtue of it not being compulsory. You can have your accounts on the registered public forum, the echo chamber, and the actually competently-moderated one at the same time.

Above a market cap and market share, they need to not practice viewpoint discrimination in the sense that Project Veritas has no outstanding complaints against them. I admit there's an element of vindictiveness in this remedy
