Acebuckeye13 posted:These motherfuckers probably feel safe because even though the correct answer to this sham of an election is massive protests and an occupation of the state capitol building (again) and honestly? this is the point where a full-blown riot is absolutely an acceptable response, people can't precisely for the same reasons they can't get out and vote: the goddamn pandemic. And by the time it's died down to the point where people can gather in large enough numbers, temperatures will have also cooled down to the point where it'll be hard to get enough numbers and energy for an appropriate response. Just make sure to read the last part of that thread so your anger is directed at the right people (the legislature/judiciary) and not Wolfe and the WI election people.

This is so incredibly hosed, this single act has shaken my faith in this country more than any other event in recent history. The notion of this nation being a true democracy at all is now in question.

This would be why stacking the courts was a huge deal for me in the primary. It's not just reproductive rights and the myriad other poo poo the courts control, its poo poo like this that I've been watching take shape in my own backyard for the past decade. The courts matter. This is why. Past that, I'm legitimately at a loss for words. This situation is so profoundly hosed.

Write and call your local reps now and demand immediate action to adopt mail-in ballots for November. There's a real likelihood that this will still be around in the fall (or have come back) and the GOP will at least make no effort to make in-person voting safe. Or they could decide suddenly to pretend they haven't downplayed of the problem all year and announce restrictions on polling places that effectively disenfranchise broad swathes of the Democratic electorate. That should sound crazy, but not entirely outside the realm of possibility to anyone who's been keeping up with things. Demand mail-in ballots now to reduce their opportunity to either passively or actively undermine American democracy.

No, it's not crazy. Wisconsin is absolutely the canary in the coal mine, and I hope people are listening more than Twitter/etc seems to indicate. A non-trivial number of people seem a lot more interested in bashing on Evers when there was gently caress nothing he could do. The executive order was a hail mary, always was, and the GOP was literally standing there counting on people wanting to save lives as a way to jam ther foot in the door.

Years back around the 2012 election there was a lot of Islamophobia floating around. It didn't go away it just got drowned out a bit by a ton of other noise. All these dickheads were getting loud about how Islam is this special case unprecedented in how violent it is. My feeling at the time, and still is that loads of White Christians wouldn't behave any better if there was a major breakdown in the US and they thought they could get away with it.

If you mean "packing the court," the problem with just adding more justices that agree with you is there is nothing stopping the Republicans from doing the same when they have the government. You end up with 61 Supreme Court justices stacked on top of each other and any legitimacy the body might have had will be gone.

This election is going to be about which VP you want to take over for Biden or Trump because there’s no way either of them are going to last through the upcoming term. It’s a hosed up state of affairs when you’re wondering whether Biden’s really sundowning this hard or GOP operatives are sinking low enough to edit videos to make Biden look like this (and are most definitely doing much worse things in the background.) Edit: could he be talking about the influenza pandemic of 1918? pantslesswithwolves fucked around with this message at 12:45 on Apr 7, 2020 |

Again I hate that I have to defend Biden because I don’t agree in the slightest with his politics, but the guy has a massive stutter that been documented over the last 40 years or so. I’m sure there might be some issues with him getting over, but he’s been misspeaking for the better part of his political career and this isn’t really out of the ordinary for him. If anything it just shows a lot of people didn’t know of him beyond “Obama’s VP.”

So the video came from ABC news and it wasn’t doctored. Relevant clip starts at 7:30 or so. I can only assume that he’s talking about the pandemic of 1918 but he’s inarticulate and imprecise on this. https://youtu.be/K8UH3Gdmx8I Admittedly the rest of the video isn’t great. Biden stumbles a bit and keeps repeating “follow the science” as his answer to many questions. I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt that he was trying to give non-specific answers lest they be picked apart by the Republicans, but it’s still not a great look. Ninja edit: when I say he’s stumbling, I’m not referring to his stutter. That’d be a mean thing to go after him for. Actual edit: yeah, even if Bernie is still my guy, I’ll take Biden over Trump without hesitation. I may hate it but it’s still better than a president who’s trying to kill as many people as possible. pantslesswithwolves fucked around with this message at 13:09 on Apr 7, 2020 |

Like I can't even be glib about it, and it's hard to articulate how this feels. Like there are no poo poo vultures that stood by waiting for this to happen, for Evers to 'cave' and try and make an executive order to stop what was about to happen, and used the opportunity afforded to them by someone saying 'maybe people shouldn't die like this' to wedge their foot in the door. They knew the same court they concentrated all the power in prior to his taking office would rule in their favor. We all saw that coming. But the SCOTUS hit that came after it? It's not that I was ever unaware of how craven the GOP was. I just feel like I'm in a state of shock at the moment, and pretty much have been all night. EDIT: The sheer amount of despair coming from other Wisconsinites this morning is pretty intense right now. I'm gonna go have a drink.

To say there is even a question between Trump and Biden is insane. Now do I think Trump is likely to beat Biden because he's a garbage tier candidate? Yes. Think of it as not voting for Biden but strictly as voting against Trump, even though that's likely to be the reason why Trump might win as Biden offers nothing to vote for.
