Ossoff Defeat Salt

[Absolutego]

All that mysogyny from the left.

It's becoming increasingly obvious that many partisan Dems are only pro-minority and pro-women because they believe they'll vote Democrat, not because they actually value civil rights or equality of opportunity.

That's just mind-boggling. I don't know if that's a popular Democratic opinion of late, but if it is then I don't understand what they're thinking with that; It's not the Republicans that caused them to lose the election, it's all the people who voted for Obama in 2012 that didn't vote for Clinton in 2016. How can they not see that and realize that they need to regain those voters by abandoning the fringe identity politics and moving more into the center?

They see Corbyn's gains this year and and think "hey we should try that", ignoring that the UK is much more tolerant of socialism. It's headache inducing.

Oh, Moby, you so crazy.

Well I think Reddit has gotten over it at least, a top comment in a thread at a Democrat sub:

"I honestly thought that I'd be depressed if Ossoff lost, but in fact, I (like the voters in GA-06) am mostly relieved it's over, and also extremely pissed off that once again people are acting as if it's the end of the world. Despair is too cheaply bought an emotion; it circulates everywhere, and you instantly sound "cool" expressing it.

The race seemed a little more compelling and winnable than most, and it got a lot more attention organically. Other than that, it's not that different from all the other losses...which are also just as ridiculous to bitch over."

Must be Trump's fault.

Alyssa Milano Is Suing Her Former Business Manager for $10 Million

Alyssa Milano is suing her former business manager for allegedly mismanaging her finances and causing her to go into millions of dollars of debt, according to documents obtained by Us Weekly.

The 44-year-old actress and her husband, David Bugliari, filed a complaint in the L.A. County Superior Court on Monday June 12. The suit claims that their former accountant Kenneth Hellie and his firm, Hellie, Hoffer & Co., forged Milano's signature on financial documents, failed to pay her bills and taxes on time and convinced her to make risky business investments.

Stars at Court
“Alyssa’s full trust was misplaced in her business mangers,” Milano’s lawyer Ellyn S. Garofalo tells Us Weekly. "They failed to discuss with her that they had been making loans with unfavorable terms, and their money was used to provide loans to other Lippe clients. Their managers were also investing money in major investments personally without letting Alyssa know. We are confident Alyssa will come out of this triumphant."

Milano and Bugliari claim in the lawsuit that they “have suffered financial and reputational devastation that will take years — and millions of dollars — to repair.” The couple also allege that the business firm then “engaged in a cover-up of the escalating financial chaos they created by withholding and actively concealing material financial information from their clients.”

Stars Who've Filed for Bankruptcy
Milano and Bugliari claim that their financial trouble began with a “home improvement debacle.” Milano alleges that Hellie, Hoffer & Co. was supposed to be overseeing the project, but they allowed construction costs to “run wild” and they “concealed building code violations” that resulted in fines.

Celebrities Who Went From Rags to Riches
The couple are suing for negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, fraud and theft, and are seeking at least $10 million in damages.

Hellie told Variety that he can’t comment on the matter at this time. “I’d like to say something,” he said. "Obviously a lot of it’s like theJohnny Depp situation. I can’t say anything just yet."

Depp, 54, is currently suing his manager for $25 million and claiming “gross misconduct.” Meanwhile his former managers argue that Depp engaged in reckless spending.

I'd seriously start looking at some of these guys for evidence of money laundering. I mean who the heck puts $30 million into a congressional race in bum fuck nowhere where they have very little chance of getting elected?

Never underestimate the amount of delusion among twitter liberals. These people actually believe the media, for one thing. This is the same class of people who kept dumping money to increase turnout for Hillary in NY and CA when offices in WI and MI were begging for more support.

 

[Picnic_Boy]

Vilifying the majority race in your country, and not understanding why they don't like it. Relying on smug celebrity messengers who never leave the hugbox. Repeatedly accusing your opponents of violent behavior while being willfully blind (or sometimes even exultant) when your own side perpetrates violence. Swatting at mirages of homophobia, but absolutely refusing to mention refugee problems in Europe, North America's closest cultural analogue. Relying on the dwindling significance of network television to spread your message.

Tens of millions in funding and wall to wall TV coverage sounds very organic to me.

Democrats are in a catch 22. They could do two things, reinforce the anti republican attitude and lose, or be more central and considering and be called by Bigots by their own voters and lose.

lol none of those #REEEsistance imbeciles really vote though and clearly are not your winning cohort for a party; they just virtue signal and refuse to spend the at most 20 minutes it takes to vote. It's why they won a hat trick for failure back in November and now for two Special Elections.

That's the sad thing, the Dems haven't looked at what happened when the Republicans said "eff this" to the SJW mob and abandoned any pretense of caring about the progressive agenda... there was a lot of bluster, a lot of nasty words, but ultimately, nobody in the SJW camp had the power to do anything to stop them from going in the direction they wanted to go. Even the deluded few that took to the streets and tried to enforce their will with violence got arrested in short order or beat up by average citizens likewise fed up with 15 years of political correctness and toxic race baiters following them everywhere and criticizing every step they made.

The rogues gallery of virtue signalers, gamergate paranoids, zero-effort socialists, ANTIFAs and every other bad hanger-on has absolutely no power beyond what you give them when you live in fear of what they might say about you, they are a loud, vocal, vengeful MINORITY.

Now, since the Dems have been in bed with them deeper and for longer, it's going to be a nasty breakup, but they are eventually going to come to their senses and jettison them, only question is, how long until they get the message?

It's not that trans rights aren't a social issue to support, it's just that you're supporting those trying to make said future happen with internet smear campaigns, blackmail, and the occasional stabbed police horse. ANd that shit don't fly in this country. Never has.

I get the feeling they want to go centrist, but everyone's afraid to be that first person to step out of line.

We need one good prominent Dem to pull a Trump and shamelessly ditch the circus and NOT backtrack. Really that's all Trump had, a questionable platform maybe, but daggumit you couldn't sway him from it.

Was it the standard "I'm going to improve the state, build infrastructure, have 100% graduations from school, and a free unicorn delivered on each person's birthday"

His mistake was promising unicorns to a voter base that already owns thousands of ponies.

I can't help but notice the parallel between this clown and Wu, as minor as it may be. What I mean is that the vast majority of their support came from outside of the district they were running in. I heard on the radio today that Ossoff received 800 something donations from his district, and over 10,000 from California and New York alone. I've never lived in an area where outsiders inject money into local politics, and I'm curious to know how the locals have reacted to it, outside of not voting for him. I think I would be pretty pissed if it was happening to me, and may vote the opposite just to spite the ideologue donors.

fftopic:, but I'm still convinced that was the first phase of a kickback scheme designed to move money around to Shillary loyalists/confidants. They were so busy figuring out how they'd spread around their graft and launder bribes in a Hillary presidency they never considered they'd actually need to use the money get her elected.

Ossoff had less votes than the guy in 2016

Spoiler alert: They won't.

Not until one of two things happens - a decent dem gets the populism angle going and tells identity politics to fuck off, or, arguably more likely, the establishment gets tired of wasting money on candidates who have no ability to fucking win and the money inevitably dries up.

The Democratic Party right now is going through what the Republicans did about seven years ago. The establishment won't listen to anyone who is logical or reasonable, and they've effectively encouraged the craziest elements of the left to take control of the wheel via insane idiots in academia.

I've tried to talk to a bunch of different subcategories of Dem post-election, and I've noticed an odd pattern: Most of the ones I talk to know what's up, except for two of said subcategories: Politics Hipsters (who are on the left to be "on the right side of things") and SJWs. Neither one of these categories is willing to believe that they did anything wrong, and unfortunately these categories are the ones absolutely in charge of the Democratic party apparatus right now (alongside the irredeemably corrupt DNC, of course). I've tried to explain why it's important to understand why and how Hillary lost, but they're still in never-ending pants-shitting rage over the latest way Trump is destroying America and as likely to recognize their own culpability in the loss as ADF is to die of natural causes.

They are literally unwilling to look at themselves and reflect. And so I say: Fuck 'em.

 

[Tubular Monkey]

Realistically, all the Dems need to do to win the presidency is to run a straight white male. That's why it'll never happen.
