Dubar posted:I'm actually pretty interested to see how this Florida thing will continue to play out, because as someone listed the timeline earlier, after the recounts are done, the results of the election are then certified by the governor, who, by the way, is Rick Scott. What fresh mayhem will we witness when he just says "nope" I think the Secretary of State actually certifies elections... who is still a shitlord who got bribed by Trump to drop a lawsuit. The Florida Supreme Court at the moment has a majority of not-insane folks I've heard, so there's that at least.

Chilichimp posted:This is bad, don't do this. Vote for literally whoever the democrats put up, because the alternative is what we've been making GBS threads up the Trump thread with for two loving years. I will unless the Democrats put up the worst candidate possible for a third time. Then me and the DNC will need to have a sit down where I explain that the Clown President is more preferable to me then way they choose to do things. I mean, just enabling them because of their party name hasn't worked out too great lately.

I do not think you've thought this through. Just write in Bernie, or AOC, or Malcom X, or whoever. I had a coworker who very smugly told me the morning of the election that she had written in Full Communism Now because Hillary was going to win anyway so she wasn't going to debase herself by voting for her. When I saw her the next day she was crying

How is that not just the 'we plan to take your concerns and discard them" any more than your demand we post them in a closed and locked thread was? Is there some option that if someone PMs the mods good enough there will be some change?

Gripweed posted:There's a ton of potential problems with UBI. Who decides what's "basic", how do you make sure it keeps up with a rising cost of living, lovely people are going to try to make it means tested based on regional cost of living, etc. All that's gotta be worked out. This is super dumb, but I can't wrap my head around how it would work and it always made me less than comforted that in Star Trek the writers would come up with all sorts of pseudo science bullshit reasons for warp cores or transporters or whatever, but wouldn't even try to give any made up details on how their moneyless society operates. I think they just couldn't come up with anything. Got to be where they were talking about latinum all the time in DS9 and using it as a plot point often.

Rectal Death Adept posted:I actually feel like if the DNC is that out of touch and that foolish to triple down then there needs to be a clear message sent to them because 2016 apparently didn't work. Voting for batman or third party doesn't do the same thing as making Trump's inevitable second win against her a landslide to try and hammer the point home and send a clear message. "Check me out, brown people. I am in a position of relative comfort, as I can just stop talking publicly about my political views and won't be too badly affected by American fascism. Sorry I voted for Trump to send the DNC a message, because I don't like neoconservatives who wouldn't have caged you, but if you think about it, what choice did I have?" *train pulls away from the station to the immigrant work camp* *waving* "See ya, hope things turn out better when the Democrats nominate *checks notes* Bernie in 2024!"

I do not think you've thought this through. Just write in Bernie, or AOC, or Malcom X, or whoever. I could get behind a protest-vote campaign of writing in AOC to see how many votes we could get. I don't think it would be as effective as slapping the Democratic party with a Trump landslide but it could help and be way less controversial since most people react like they've been shot when you suggest voting for trump ironically to own the libs.

If your worthless DNC shoves Hillary 3: It's Her Turn Again Again up, I'm going to laugh as I prepare for you to inevitably go fasc either immediately after her loss or 4 years later if she ekes out a win. I'm then going to die in a ditch somewhere because that's the inevitable result of a Fascist USA.

Joke voting for the opposite party because you don't have the platform/candidate you want this year has consequences that real people, who might agree with you, will feel. The stakes are high, dude. The republican party is literally getting people killed.

If you vote for Trump as a protest vote then congrats you need your head kicked in for being a Nazi. If you support a Nazi by giving them your vote, you’re a Nazi supporter sorry I don’t make the rules.

I would write-in Axl Rose knowing full well he would treat the country as poorly as he treated the members of Guns N' Roses before I would even consider putting a mark next to Trump's name. I can scarcely think of anyone I would vote Trump over. The only saving grace for my vote he would get is if he was running against someone just as evil but more clever and was capable of inflicting more damage, like Mitch McConnell. It would probably vote Sean loving Hannity over Trump.

OOCC has never been anything but a low-rate Fulchrum/rkajdi merger. And somehow often worse than both of those.

Speaking as someone who may very well have their access to any healthcare whatsoever denied to them entirely if the Republicans keep the presidency (or failing that will require an executive order to get it back) i'd just like to say gently caress you and please emigrate to somewhere else that will tolerate being burdened by your stupidity and sheltered privilege. If this is really what you plan on doing then your presence in the US is literally helping to contribute to things getting worse for pretty much everyone. My life and the lives of all the other people out there that are affected by the Republicans and their bigoted, selfish, and often outright childish crap aren't worth your desire to "send a message" that the Third Way wing of the Democrats will never receive, hear, or care about to begin with. And to be clear, this is not hyperbole. Voting for Trump or the Republicans literally, literally puts blood on your hands through the legislation they craft. If they get their way i'll be legislated straight into the grave in the next five to ten years tops due to not being able to get access to any sort of healthcare when I get sick.

like we can debate if intentionally not voting or voting for a third party is effectively voting for trump but there's not debate that voting for trump means you voted for trump, period. you are a trump voter, no different from any other.

Rectal Death Adept posted:hyperbole thy name is goons This is the way it is, man. We've got camps of immigrant children, pulled from their parents loving arms all over the country. Trump promising he won't release them anymore, US soldiers putting up fuckin' concertina wire at the border, and the fate of DACA recipients ~still~ in limbo. More than one immigrant who has lived here for their entire living memory has been deported to a country where they know not a single person. More than one immigrant has been denied asylum to be sent home where they were killed by the very thing they were running from in the first place. This isn't hyperbole.

Every room in Star Trek had a magic box that can create any material good you want except (a) latinum and (b) this week's rare plot-critical material. And there's no shortage of energy because humanity is a Kardashev Type II civilization. What do you need money for, everything you could possibly need or want is free. How does money even work if no one has to buy any material goods anymore and energy is too cheap to meter.

I feel like voting for Trump to send a message to the DNC is functionally the same as "pretending" to be racist to get out of jury duty. Even if you were doing it ironically, that stink's still on you forever.

I don't know that AOC's views on ubi are that relevant. Whether its a federal jobs guarantee, ubi, whatever, the dems don't even control the senate much less a super majority. In another 4 to 6 years aoc can discuss the details, but why bother now? Signaling she is on the right team is enough.

You know maybe applying this way of thinking is good. We aren’t really improving on the opiate crisis so if we make it worse, it will force people to act to make it better. Let’s give all the drug dealers fentanyl and elephant opiates so that way more people overdose. We will be forced to act then right?
