Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

Literally who cares about this bog witch? Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory was a pretty neat signature move I guess lol
Idk man looking at the 27% approval rate of Trump (including, gag, one of my wife's now (as in, this week now) ex mom-friends), my friends who haven't been following it at all, and the propaganda machine covering trump like a blanket fresh out of the dryer...
I honestly think that if we had a do-over election, today, right now, vote or die....we'd have the same result.
Assuming the same level of tampering, of course.
Part of that is because of the...efficiencies...of the electoral college, sure. But part of that is that I realize now that America (or, rather, the electors) is absolutely not going to vote for a woman, let alone a non-white one.
The efficiencies of the electoral college also mean that in my mind, there'd still be a sizable portion in the red states that would pick "or die".
Maybe my perspective is skewed because I live in a populous blue coastal state...but man, does it feel like we are living entirely under the tyranny of the minority? Like, not even the hundreds or so of political figures and wealthy "elites", but even the ~30% of the people (not ec votes) that actually still support the party?
If the majority still thinks its ok to sit out elections because of 'reasons', is it any surprise the rabid, locked in minority would win? I mean, cmon.
But part of that is that I realize now that America (or, rather, the electors) is absolutely not going to vote for a woman, let alone a non-white one.
This seems like projection to me considering every third person in Congress is a woman, and considering you chose to ignore all her decisions and actions on the campaign trail, instead focusing on gender thereby infantilizing her.
I didn't. I proudly and loudly voted for Kamala. And Liz Warren.
I think you're missing what I said. I said (and you quoted) that America (or, rather, the electors) is absolutely not going to vote for a woman, let alone a non-white one.
Most states have had fewer than 10 female representatives. Total. Ever. Mississippi has had 0.
As progressive as the Dems want to pretend to be, putting forward a non-white, non-male candidate against Trump of all people was running the election on hard-mode. They knew it, I knew it, you knew it, we all knew it.
Because the majority of electors are selected by voters who are either:
- Sexist, chauvinistic, racist buffoons, or
- their submissive (and likely battered) wives
HRC told it like it is. Basket of deplorables.
Big “Pokémon Go to the polls” energy there
6-7 was a Gen Alpha thing and even they think it’s dumb now. They are trying to do the “great meme reset”.
That's worse than everything Trump has ever done!
