Fitzy Fitz posted:I'm still very skeptical of Georgia. We haven't actually elected anyone decent in forever. Every time I say that, friends tell me to say the name of our rep in GA-6.  It’s gonna be a hard fight, but it’s possible.Also, watching Handel pack her bags after she had Kemp pull the election fuckery to get her the win just made me giddy inside. Ossoff, despite his flaws, actually won that election and I guarantee you we’ll hear something confirming that in 2-3 years once the investigations are complete.

Shimrra Jamaane posted:Because dumb people think that kids on twitch chat and in YouTube comments are representative of their whole generation. I have to tell you it does scare me that YouTube algorithms seem like they are explicitly designed to send young people to alt right channels, and when I go to the library the computers are full of people watching PewDiePie. Glad to see that the algorithms aren't working.

Originally it was thought they weren’t big on Obama near the end of his presidency and that the pendulum might have begun swinging the other way. But if that was ever true at all the last two years have sent them screaming for socialism.

Logan Paul was a Romney supporter. One of his pranks involved having his very young fans who were waiting outside his hotel room to see him watch him die after getting shot in the head, with realistic fake blood.

Yeah, Republicans might have had a saving grace there but nah they’d rather double down on racism and spite so they whiffed on that I imagine in 20 years if there’s anything left, Republicans will be playing a much smaller role in governing

So we should just hope that the Gen Zers prefer a wider group of friends and will self-filter out reactionary racist, sexist, or anti-LGBTQ ideas. My fiancée's nephew is now like 11 and playing fortnite and watching youtube videos. I just hope he can come through more or less unharmed.

Oxyclean posted:Is it wrong that I kinda hope that tax returns get significantly backed up / delayed & and the stuff about the shutdown impacting the superbowl play out? Mostly because I think it might actually affect people who are otherwise unaffected or uncaring about the shutdown and put more pressure on ending the shutdown? Once again: This hurts low-income people, who rely on tax refunds and credits like the EITC, and who tend to file as soon as their W2s are in hand. As it is, EITC returns are subject to extra scrutiny by law, and those refunds are deferred till 2/15, government shutdowns aside. Richies almost always get an extension to October, because they rely on info returns, like K1s, that aren't due to be issued to them until April 15. Don't wish for things that hurt poor people way more than rich people.

Gorsuch is dumber than Kavanaugh, more moral, and has a semi-libertarian ideology beyond just "gently caress liberals" that has led him to a few occasional stopped-clock non-awful rulings. gorsuch does have his nightmarish obsession with destroying chevron deference, but on balance i'd agree that kavanaugh is likely to be worse

Nothing to defend and a bunch of pickups available. 5 seats is a hell of a lot to pickup (3 + 1 more to cover when Manchin flips on anything useful like court packing or MfA + 1 to replace Doug Jones) Probably more than 5 if a couple of the more red state dems decide to MAGA build the wall like Donelly and McCaskill and sink their own campaigns And we have to convince a lot of senators to kill the fillibuster to get anything done, so lol
