On the subject of Ground Game, I was at a campaign office in Arizona on Sunday and the place was packed. Something like 30 people in there and probably twice as many people out knocking on doors. Nate Silver seems to have pretty low odds for Kirkpatrick winning the Senate, but I can't believe they'd push so aggressively if it was really a lost cause. Based on what I've heard about the Trump campaign's ground presence, I think there's a real chance for things to go way better than anyone predicted. Like, to use a tortured sports metaphor, the normal situation is two teams, often mismatched trying to score points. But this time, it's like one team didn't even bother to show up, or maybe put up an intramural sports club against a professional team. I don't think the Dems are taking the House, but I think they might get enough seats to put the other side into a really tough situation if they can't maintain party unity.

This is as good a place to ask as any, I guess: why are self-proclaimed liberals openly racist towards Russians (and other Slavic peoples) so much of the time, despite their insistence on pretending that they aren't racist in all other situations?

Captain Invictus posted:What's the best way to keep up with this thread? I was over 4000 posts behind on the last one when it was locked, with my method of "read every fifth page" doing a decent job of keeping me up to date on what's going on, but still falling behind the rapid pace of these threads. I tried skipping to the end but often found myself mid-discussion about something and got a little lost. A lot of the discussion is great, there's just too much to read all of it, even when I skip whenever it goes into users bickering about petty unrelated things. Perfect example of what you're missing: https://twitter.com/JeffFlake/status/793503341108002816 tweeted by @JeffFlake: huhhh@kjzzphoenixwgH MrBuddyLee fucked around with this message at 18:33 on Nov 1, 2016 |

If you can't tell the difference between racism and political opposition towards the current Russian leadership and its allies, maybe there's just no loving hope for you, Lumpy.

WeAreTheRomans posted:im gonna be real and say i don't know enough about guns or construction to be clever here There is/was a poster named Grover. Grover was an "Engineer" with "The Government Military". He felt this meant he had all the qualifications to not only build his own house, but wire, and insulate it as well. He built it in a swamp. It is a house that literally had Structural Drywall. This is like saying "Oh, yeah, I built my heat-shield out of paper-mache and snow" The idea of a Grovergun is a horrifying concept, because it combines the willful, enthusiastic ignorance of the craft of construction with the dogged determination to make something come out of the end of that barrel. Someone is losing a hand, and it may be more than one person. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3615264&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=6#post426743391 This should help explain further.
