When can we expect polls to start reflecting the news about Moore? About six days? At this point, nobody should be surprised that GOP state legislators and county-level officials are insane assholes, what matters is what the public thinks.

In most states this'd be the end and we'd be heading towards an easy victory, but everyone is being pretty fair when they mention that this is Alabama. He'll dip in the polls, surely, but by one or by thirty is the question. Reminder to everyone, a not-insignificant percentage of Republican voters responded that the Billy Bush tapes made them MORE likely to vote for Trump.

Arglebargle III posted:To be fair, nobody has accused him of rape. All the stories from underage girls say he took them home when they asked. He's merely accused of sexual contact with a minor, which of course is indefensible in itself. It’s statutory rape because it’s below the age that someone can give consent. So yes technically it was without consent.

These people have no shame. Your brother molested a girl that was 14 you sick gently caress. Seriously to campaign against him just plaster images of average 14 year old high school girls and put "Roy Moore is attracted to this" everywhere. Let them defend it when it is someone's daughter they can see. Morally bankrupt pieces of poo poo. TulliusCicero fucked around with this message at 17:24 on Nov 10, 2017 |

Not so much for Kevin Spacey The NYT article about Louis CK hadn't even dropped yesterday (I still dunno if it has) and a conservative hit me up on how much he hated him. I later brought up the Moore article from WaPo and you can guess what his opinion about the publication were.

He’s not a good person and goddamn do I love seeing him get nailed against the wall for his terrible crap. He's definitely more nuanced than that, which is why some of his jokes have been called feminist. That said, his poo poo is definitely hit or miss. Some jokes pay off. Others depend entirely upon a racist or sexist punchline with no real underlying point. I liked some of his earlier stuff so a friend bought us tickets to see him last year. He made a lot of incredibly lazy jokes that punched downward and was overall a total loving bummer. That live audience also confirmed to me that a lot of his fans are in it for the bigoted setups and not so much for the times where Louis is using transgressive comedy to make a progressive point (although whether or not to hold *that* against him is up for debate). Dude's a piece of poo poo, though.

Pakled posted:When can we expect polls to start reflecting the news about Moore? About six days? Yeah I think about a week is where you can gauge what the effect on public sentiment is. But I have some bad news. Those GOP officials are in place in Alabama because of the people who voted them in. My full expectation is that the huge majority will just dig in harder, just like with Trump. They will never read a detailed article like the WaPo one, and they will flat out disbelieve any accounts about it just like with Trump. So the only real issue is, does Moore bleed off a little support and bleed off a little turnout because of this? I'd think so, and the real detail is, how much, and how close was the race before this, was it close enough for the little bleed off to make it a real race? I just contributed to Doug Jones. I don't have a high expectation that he will win but I certainly hope he can make a go of it, and if Moore wins I hope he can be another member of Trump and his Legion of Doom that can help motivate Dems across the country to turn out next year.
