For instance if you're in the USSR in the 80s only Western media is going to tell you when Chernobyl happens. And likewise if you want to know what hosed up things the democrats are doing you have to listen to right wing media and if you want to know what hosed up things the republicans are doing you have to listen to left wing media and no one in the "mainstream" can tell the truth about either one.

I remember reading about some American POWs in Vietnam who learned about the moon landing when the radio said "The Soviet Union landed a robot on the moon today, without recklessly endangering human lives, unlike the American moon landing."

Gene Hackman Fan posted:think about how many brains were thoroughly broken by the end of 2016. will 2020 beat that or are the lines pretty firmly drawn and everyone has picked there side? 2020 will beat 2016 because for the past 4 years the identity of millions more people who previously never cared about politics has become not only "Politics" but "gently caress Trump." It permeates loving everything at this point. Dating profiles. Comedy. Media. gently caress TRUMP. Things can't get any worse. This is the worst time in history. He is the worst person to ever live. It's unbearable. It's miserable. HE IS HORRIBLE. FASCISM. NAZIS. The first win can be blown off as a fluke led by Russian conspiracies, lovely clinton campaigns, complacent voters who thought he wouldn't win or any number of excuses. The second win will mean that most people in this country(REEE ELECTORAL COLLEGE) looked at the same things and decided they wanted more of it. It won't be brains breaking they will loving detonate with the power of a million suns. Their party is useless, their extreme outrage meant nothing and their misery will apparently never end now. Look forward to the second impeachment where they drag hillary and biden out of a crypt to explain how they both should have won.

Well yeah. That's more of an unspoken fact. Trump's second win will be attributed to - Post office meddling - Kushner convincing Kanye to run - STUPID VOTERS - Nazi Voters - Gerrymandering/voter suppression - Russian/Chinese conspiracies - Any positive news in the month of October being perpetrated by Trump conspirators Not that the DNC doubled down on cheating to try and get their poo poo tier professional liar in office in 2016 by doing the exact same thing in the exact same way in 2020.

Filthy Hans posted:you ain't seen nothing yet I don't mean to call you out specifically, this just made me think of it. Do people really think Trump is about to declare himself dictator for life and start calling it the end of the republic, beginning of the empire? I read it all the time and it just seems so infantile so I assumed the people stating it are joking but then I realized I'm not in regular contact with libs, only chuds, so idk what libs think. I mean, ofc he's not going to anything like that, they're just going to do what they've always done which is suppress turnout, gerrymander districts, discount votes they don't like, and rig the primaries, none of which count as "sabotaging the elections" because the fix was always in. No one's going to say they're emperor for life, they don't have to. The status quo benefits everyone in power and will continue to do so indefinitely, this is obvious. I did chuckle at Al Gore as Braveheart, I'll admit.

Also it should be pointed out that yes, Trump is going to do his quiet parts loud schtick around the election, openly sabotaging mail in ballots and every other dirty, commonplace trick and will end up winning by such a decisive margin that it will be obvious to everyone that none of it was necessary. That's the Trump way of doing things.

He'll lie about the election results, sue in the courts, declare the results void, or some other poo poo. People haven't stood up to him so far and people who can probably do something about it (McConnell, Barr, John Roberts etc) will either be reticent or they'll actively protect him. The situation will get resolved at some point, I don't know if it will get as bad as a declaration of martial law but there will be options to remove him. My point is not that he'll be dictator for life, that's absurd. I feel like the circus is coming to DC. Incidentally, candidates outright refusing to accept the results is not unprecidented. Grant considered declaring martial law because the bickering between his potential successors got so out of hand: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/jul/27/trump-loses-election-what-happens-possibilities

I keep seeing that bullshit take in the GE thread especially, and while those of us here know it's just a childish reaction to people like us having the audacity not to bend the knee for the Good Guys, I think it's pretty hosed up to call people voting for better candidates and platforms actually supporters of a white supremacist rapist Never be foolish enough to rely on the mods of this broken-rear end website to do anything useful.

The amount of hubris does feel like a replay of 2016 especially the whole polling shows a Sleepy Joe win is inevitable and also how the DNC has such a high level of confidence they have dramatically reduced his public appearances since March.

One thing the media is really committed to is that elections are legitimate and matter. Without it the whole structure collapses. I don't think they will cross that bridge even if trump is on camera robbing ballot boxes.

I'm glad Bernie isn't the candidate, it would just be him standing there looking even dumber than he does now. Bush-era ghouls oozing around in the spotlight with him, simpering media lapping up the weak lazy bilious poo poo the DNC is capable of dribbling out. The disgusting "big tent" poo poo and the warming up to W and his team of murderers was going to happen no matter what. The same lovely lanyards and the Clintons and Obamas running the party and the show, gently caress all of it. No way Bernie could have won with all of that dragging him down even if in that imaginary world he actually had the full support of the whole pack of DNC pedophiles and thieves, and if he had he'd have been crippled beyond recognition. I'm glad it's Biden that gets to eat the poo poo sandwich when it comes.

They are convinced they have it in the bag again. There are supposed leftists in the succ zone that are sure Biden will win. Trump is the bully who shoved them in the locker. He has thoroughly, metaphysically, and cosmically owned them and this is their absolute last chance for redemption. The meltdowns will be glorious.

I'm glad it's Biden that gets to eat the poo poo sandwich when it comes. nah, Bernie would have won, his platform mobilized the electorate and was extremely popular with most people and he was very, extremely transparently ratfucked into oblivion by Clinton and Warren and then Super Tuesday saw the DNC go FULL legion of doom and that wasn’t even enough so Biden’s campaign literally said “gently caress it” and told boomers to go vote in WI during the first outbreak (which has now been classified as WI first Superspreader event lmao). He lost in South Carolina because it’s a brain drain state, you turn 18 and move the gently caress out of here because the entire state racist hill people and a couple nice beaches. these are all true and documented things that made national news, it’s not a collective fever dream millions of people made up. edit: I don’t wanna come off as BernieSucc so I’ll say I’m deeply disappointed that he didn’t stick up for himself and tried to take the high ground to his detriment and his endorsement of Biden is both heartbreaking and disillusioning Bust Rodd has issued a correction as of 15:27 on Aug 22, 2020 |

At least if Biden eats poo poo in the general, the left can have at least some sort of chance of organizing in the future. Bernie would've been trotted out for why socialism doesn't work for the next hundred years if he actually got the nom, had to kowtow to the DNC, and lost

The only real doubt I have as to whether Sanders would have won comes from wondering how effective the Dems would be in undermining him in the general. Their one actual competency seems to be loving over anybody to the left of Reagan.

If Bernie had won, they probably would have cancelled the convention entirely and just sent him an expired coupon for Cracker Barrel or something. I wonder if the Succs would be consoling themselves with "We can pull him Right! We can pull him Right!" the same way they try to convince us that Joe can absolutely be pushed Left.
