I’ll believe it when I see it. McConnell is a cold warrior and a Reagan Republican at heart, but he’s also soulless and evil like the rest of them.

Does some part of him still give a shit about his country? I find it hard to believe.

NO! Harris just needed to go further right. Forced goose-stepping marches at rallies. Pledges to eradicate all minorities. Promise global wars of conquest.

Outflank Trump on the right, and the republicans AND democrats will vote for you.

“Will the big money interests and well-paid consultants who control the Democratic Party learn any real lessons from this disastrous campaign? Will they understand the pain and political alienation that tens of millions of Americans are experiencing? Do they have any ideas as to how we can take on the increasingly powerful Oligarchy, which has so much economic power?” Sanders asked.

”Probably not”

Bernie has been the Cassandra of the Democratic Party for decades. They need to realize that it has gone too far. The insane wealth gap, which has surpassed pre-Revolution France at this point, combined with the unaffordability of everything has created a crisis that won’t be fixed by platitudes and vague promises.

People are desperate, afraid, and angry. Changing that to hope and enthusiasm requires real plans that average voters can understand and even more than that requires correctly showing people the source of the problem.

Being beholden to billionaires is the real problem. And all their money, advertising, polling, and other bullshit didn’t do a damn thing to help Harris. Take them on the way FDR did or give the country to republicans permanently.

Exactly. Trump always looks strongest early on. He looked like he had beaten Biden on the early counts. Blue votes get counted later.

I’m seeing that, and I appreciate the level of work that went into putting that together, but I think it’s confusing people.

82,000,000 people voted early. It’s ridiculous that the race doesn’t start with those votes counted and reported.

Trump is up 3,000,000 in the popular vote in reported precincts. That trend will not hold. Harris will flip that and then some.

Megathreads for random bullshit can be awful. Megathreads for major global events are awesome.

And we aren’t that small when everyone is together in one place commenting about something huge and relevant. It can be a lot of fun.

Thank you.

I hate to be that guy and maybe I’m just missing it, but is there a megathread for the election?

Edit: Not to say these posts aren’t valuable. They obviously are. I’m just not seeing a central discussion.

Behold the undecided voter. These people decide the election if they actually show up to vote.

He’s already crying foul? Are the numbers that bad? First solid good sign of the night.

I think any real user from Reddit that isn’t a bot is an asset these days. I hate Reddit as much as the next person, but giving people shit for coming from there to here feels hypocritical.

“I don’t care what the patient said before he went under. They say all kinds of loopy things. The chart clearly says to amputate the right leg. Hand me the bone saw.”

Henry Ford was awarded the Grand Cross of the German Eagle in 1938 for his many, many contributions to the Reich.

Can you imagine how weird the porn on JD Vance's phone is? I almost feel sorry for the hackers.

There needs to be a reckoning after this election. The people making threats to election workers and officials just doing their jobs need to be investigated and prosecuted. These are domestic terrorists and should be treated as such.

stopping in the middle of the road without indicating, while: looking for your destination, or having a conversation, or deciding what day it is

That's my new pet peeve. The thing is I don't remember seeing people do this in the past and certainly not frequently, but now I see it all the time. Mind-boggling selfishness. I think Covid rotted everyone's brains way more than we realize.

I'm not sure you really need an interpreter to say "march forward" and "get killed." Seems like a simple enough message. You could probably use hand signals.

GreedFall. Old school RPG that flew completely under my radar. It has a 00s Bioware feel to it, before the dark times. The graphics aren't perfect, etc., but it's a really fun game with a decent story (so far).
