Early Voting report from rural MoCo Maryland from my parents: Dead. Like no one in line on Sunday night. I'll see what it looks like tomorrow morning.

Cingulate posted:Na, you're not a terrible poster. You're just never expressing nuance in anything I've seen you write. For many many black people, especially in the south, winning the civil war didn't change their daily existence or experiences at all. So they weren't "owned" anymore. They were still surrounded by the same pervasive racism where their lives didn't matter, still locked out of the economy, and that statue was seen as a circle jerk of white people talking about how awesome they were while still being oppressive as gently caress, and the nature of White America hasn't changed that much since 1866. But hey, it's more important for you to be a pedantic rear end in a top hat than actually take anything in, so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Koyaanisgoatse posted:"President Trump has nominated James Comey as Attorney General" The thing is, after the election I check out of this thread. Even if Trump wins and starts the next dozen world wars, I probably wont be hearing to much about American internal politics. Unless he literally makes him a General in his new military regime and hands the control of the former Europe over to him I guess.

Mel Mudkiper posted:When was the last time in a decade Coulter mattered? I mean I don't think she ever really "mattered" in the same way Limbagh or Hannity did. But she's basically an ur-example of the alt-right mentality and I suspect she knows she could make inroads with them. I'm moderately curious if she's really so mean-spirited and hateful or if it's an act and in private she's just regular rich white lady levels of racist. It wouldn't make her any better of a person, I just kinda wanna know.

Somebody see if Ashcroft, Holder, and Gonzales want to regain some sliver of their reputation.

Today, immigrants are receiving some of the worst abuse of Western prejudice and chauvinism. The Statue can be a beautiful symbol of welcoming immigrants, rather than a symbol of white supremacist rule, even if it did not end the situation in the south. I don't think any of this is being pedantic or an rear end in a top hat. Maybe it's false in some way? * Is that the proper term for whatever the south did post civil war?

It's a bold gambit on Reid's part. Comey is going to be badgered about answering if there's an investigation into Trump. If there is, Comey has zero grounds to not answer the question. If there isn't, then Reid's letter looks desperate. Thank loving God this poo poo is almost over.

When you guys elect a new president, what positions open up that they are required to assign new people to? e: I ask out of morbid curiosity since Im trying to think of how many hilariously bad people Trump could surround himself with.

A pretty good article about the white working class, and how they aren't a lost cause.quote:Pretty quickly, the pundits had a collective brain melt. How dare we argue that the left-of-center party use a working-class program to appeal to these working-class bigots! In one illuminating discussion, I saw a high-profile political commentator state that this was a ridiculous strategy because the Democratic Party already gets the non-racist share of the white working class to show up. And that the only way these poorer whites would come to the table is if the Democratic Party promised to explicitly or implicitly protect white supremacy. More at link obviously.

You're not going to change my opinion on the matter and to be perfectly frank, I don't care what you think about it. You're arguing about how black people view a symbol that was ultimately a circlejerk and doesn't live up to either meaning it was intended for in the least, but hey, as long as it gives you the warm fuzzies. I don't care. The statue is bullshit, just like most white symbols of American exceptionalism.
