Ogmius815 posted:So I have almost no hope that democrat can win a senate seat in Alabama in 2017. Maybe if the election had come in the immediate shock of the Moore news, but not after a month. Moore did a bad job of riding a horse this morning, so that should lose him a few points.

So last year before the election, someone compiled a Twitter list of accounts that I could harvest tears from. The outcome of the election wasn't what I was looking for but does anyone have anything similar for this?

Your Taint posted:I clarified what I meant many times directly. People wish to draw their own conclusions even though I've said things directly in my defense. That's their problem, not mine. Your Taint posted:I wasn't talking about her looks. I was talking about her personality and her being a soulless husk of a woman. I feel bad for her husband and kids for having to put up with her. Good god, man. Your Taint could have instead posted:I intended my comment to be about her personality and the fact that she is a soulless husk of a human. I feel bad for her family. But I see how it's more often used against women than men and follows along the line of traditional subordination of women, so could be interpreted as a gender-oriented attack. I'll keep that in mind in the future. Please stop quintilli-something-ubling down.

If you feel like someone's being overly mean to you then just loving leave the thread. Jesus christ. And at this point I think it'd be more infuriating if your response to me was 'You're right man, I'm gonna go have a bowl/play some Hearthstone/jack off/eat hot wings because I'm clearly just taking cheap shots out of spite" because it'd mean that a man telling you the exact same loving thing a woman has worked for some reason. mistaya posted:Naw, Trump prefers his misogynistic/bigoted slurs when he's around his very fine people. He would never use a proper 'pc' insult like rear end in a top hat. Sorry, my joke was Donald Trump WAS the rear end in a top hat and voting for him is why we're here in the first place

Most states (including Alabama) have some form of law requiring at least some time off to vote, but restrictions vary state to state. Some states don't have laws about it at all.

Wait, are we mad about pussy or dick? Also, if you alabamaramans could pull off one for the good guys it will go a short way in reducing the freaking out level of the rest of us in the world. Like, we'd still be all but it'd take maybe 3 Hs off.

Showing up drunk and full of drugs would make you the ideal juror, and being that you’re smart enough to spell and use grammar correctly, you’re probably the best chance some public defender has at actually convincing someone that a defendant isn’t immediately guilty. In short: bust out the whisky and weed, motherfucker.

Early exit polls are basically garbage though. In Alabama they're usually useless because people just straight up lie. They'll vote for the racist or pedophile but don't want to be seen as the person voting for the racist or pedophile so they'll just tell the pollster they wrote in a name.

I mean, I don't get why it's never even mentioned. I'm pretty sure even hardcore Republican voters will take "you can mail in, go on Saturday, or whatever instead of having to miss out on a Tuesday at work." If you REALLY need to convince them, just tack on "Like the Lazy Millenials/Liberals all want, am I right?"

LividLiquid posted:People are never going to stop drinking, and pretending to be a beer snob is a way for millions of people to pretend they're enthusiasts and experts and not alcoholics drinking beer at 10 AM. See also: wine experts. I was kind of taken back when a couple of buddies said they drank 4-5 beers a day. I'm wondering if the current beer Bonanza is going to end up spiking alcoholism rates. Or if it just made it socially acceptable to be a high functioning alcoholic.

I will never get over the fact that Paul Ryan's favorite band told him he's awful and not to listen to their music any more. How do you not reevaluate yourself after that? Edit: I'm just saying if Carly Rae Jepsen tweeted me saying that I'm a terrible person and shouldn't listen to Call Me Maybe then I would have to take a long hard look at myself because I love that song.

It's not just a red state problem. I live in WA and I can confirm that mail-in voting is awesome. I get the ballot in the mail a few weeks before the election, fill it out at home, then mail that sucker back. I can even track my ballot online. Only downside is that I don't get one of those 'I Voted!' stickers, but I'll live.
