postin about postin is a sin so im going to try to keep this narrowly tailored to culture instead of going face first into ouroubouros postin

but as a DAY CREW EXPLAINER re nite crew, it's not an insular club of shitpost weirdos creasing one another's apricots at 4 am

very little relevant news is coming out at night, so conversation will naturally drift away from the harder core issues—especially because the group if active posters is also smaller, so they can all run a real, non shitpost topic into the ground p fast, coming to whatever conversational consensus without incorporating a steady flow of new news or 80 posters filtering in and out

it's also the time that people are unwinding, sometimes with a drink or :420:

so the conversational focus drifts and people loosen up and feel comfortable posting goofy nonsense or talking music if w/e

it's still the most active politics thread on the forums, so if politics happen, things can pivot to focus more on that v fast league

but if your awake when the thread has gone nite crew, you should feel free to just jump in and mess around. post dance music or recipes or actual politics. post in jokes or gifs or w/e

but it's not an arcane subculture that you darent approach. it's just a bunch of friendly gnostics listenin to Beyoncé and poating heathers gifs, but willing to do/talk other poo poo

this has been a DAY CREW EXPLAINER re nite crew

they're not that retarded and understand the apocalyptic stakes involved. look at the bush clan voting for Johnson/HRC/donating $ to her respectively. they will definitely unify early and prep for battle

their problem is almost Trump-esque, though: they clearly only represent 1/3 of the electorate and have to hope the Trumpistas split the vote between all the book tours

to me the problem is who do they unify around?

i mean now, one bored billionaire can keep a candidate running as long as they want essentially, like the piss lord backing cruz

and hell, what happens if the trumpets unify around a candidate early too?

Trump claimed to be worth billions in 1990, just as he does now, yet he could not pay his bills. He stiffed hundreds of small-business suppliers, including those for the Trump Taj Mahal casino in Atlantic City, which will go out of business next week. In all he owed more $3 billion, nearly a third of his debt secured by nothing more substantial than his signature on bank loan papers.


Last May, Trump revealed that he took on debt with no intention of paying it all back, which strikes me as fraud. “I’ve borrowed knowing you can pay back with discounts,” he told CNBC in May, boasting “I’ve done well with debt.”


Back then Trump threatened endless litigation unless 70 banks he owed money gave him millions more in new loans at low interest rates and provided him with $5.4 million a year for personal spending, the equivalent of $10 million in today’s money.


Back then, one billionaire told The New York Times he didn’t know how to spend that much on himself and his family.

Nate continues to be shook, despite writing articles about how big Hillary's lead is.

quote:

All of this detail might seem like splitting hairs, but it’s important. If Trump manages to keep his deficit to 3 or 4 points heading into the second presidential debate on Sunday, his probability of a comeback will be a lot better than if he’s down by something like 5 or 6 points instead. In recent elections, we’ve seen several shifts of 3 or 4 points late in the race, but not many of a larger magnitude than that. That’s not to say Trump’s position would become impossible.

I looked into Bill Mitchell, there are Bill Mitchell's going back to the very foundation of the republic.

Even found some excerpts from Bill Mitchell III:

"If we pretend casualty numbers don't exist, what evidence is there that the Union is actually winning?"

"Allegedly thousands of Confederates died at Gettysburg, but I'm seeing thousands at Gen. Lee's camp, more lying from the Union media"

"How can those causality numbers be accurate if they assume more Confederates died than Union? Should be 50/50."

"What the Union media doesn't understand is that the leaks about Lee's retreat from Petersburg is actually good for the Confederacy"

"The telegram polls prove that Lee actually won Antietam, Union media desperate to promote narrative that lying crooked Lincoln won."

The vast majority of the remaining old guard republican families have pulled out of the party apparatus. There is nothing left but Cruz-esque slime people and moronic trump operatives. All the dipshit hick white voters in middle america are not going to suddenly embrace compassionate conservatism when Trump loses. They are going to claim the election was rigged and double down.

that's true, but i think when you get into people who want to run for president it's going to be really hard to fight against their own ego/desire at winning, pride thinking that they are the right candidate, etc.

i mean, these people see the same demographic trends we do, they know the days of the white vote being able to pick the president are basically over, so unless they can completely reinvent themselves politically and distance themselves from their past through idk claiming amnesia, they have to take the earliest chance they can, so it will be rather difficult to convince them to wait 8 years or more to get "their turn," you know?

Nate is very shook but he's correct that Trump can still win. it'll just take some black swan (or two) at this point but let's face it, two weeks ago half this thread was melting down

the bottom line is Hillary has never had < 65% or > 90% to win and just because she's around 90% now doesn't mean we're immune from Russians hacking PA's shitmachines or Hillary getting pneumonia again a day before debate 3
