I'm just asking for actual discourse instead of half the thread being a "gimmick" designed to intentionally derail discussions, I didn't need therapy due to the election.

Fulchrum posted:Going by the numbers, SC was close BECAUSE Dems didn't put money into it. Ah yes the corporate Dem strategy. We don't need good candidates, if we just don't try then sometimes people will forget to vote against Corporate Stooge (D) and we'll slip in by default over Corporate Stooge (R)

axeil posted:In a bit of a silver lining, the SC race lines up with nationwide results that show around a 15 point swing to the Dems. If this was really an R+20 district then GA-06 will line up with it too. I swear I heard from some talking head on CNN that Trump lost this district tonight by four points or something, but I could have misheard/mixed it up with something else.

Zil posted:Sounds like a nice place, all we had were off brand Vanila Wafers, that tasted of cardboard. It was especially nice since it's just outside of Boston/Cambridge so over half the patients were burnt out Harvard/MIT students just a few years younger than me. Two got caught making out in a bathroom and had to be restricted from being in the same hallway from then on.

SC may well end up being closer than GA. I guess the lesson is...don't draw national attention to these races?

So after five months of president Trump, special elections in "safe" Republican voting congressional districts are now closely contested. You guys really think that another year and a half of Trump gently caress ups aren't going to push things further in the Democrats' favor?

I don't know how anyone couldn't have not seen your posts were brilliant trolling, especially your recent stuff which got even more obvious. I will say you did fool me with what seemed like a serious argument on middle class income in this country and the mortgage interest deduction stuff.

If Democrats had run a Socialist in Georgia the socialist would have won and Republicans would have stopped the AHCA and impeached Trump. drat those primary voters, drat them.

That was serious. Saying 500k is working class was obviously not serious, but some people agreed with me and I thought it was too stupid to not keep going.

A goddamn Goldman Sachs executive got a +16 boost, Ossoff got nothing. Where's that figure into your "People just want the anti-corporate full-communism-now candidate that Dems are refusing to give them!" bullshit?

Holy poo poo, I was wondering what happened when I suddenly started not hating every post you made. Good job by the way, you had that perfect combination of blinkered stupidity, smarmy condescension, and self-absorbed wealth obsession that gave it that touch of FYGM quant realism.

It's not impossible but it would take an awful lot of people waking up, and right now I think they prefer to sleep. They've slept through some of the most shocking and loathsome political behavior the nation has ever seen, why wake up now?

Mine was a mix of UT students, schizophrenics picked up and dropped off by the police and Iraq war vets. Not many make out sessions, though there was a near riot when the staff said it was too cold to go outside for a smoke break.
