Idk. Last night’s RNC gave me actual nightmares so I don’t think I can healthily watch this one. I might just follow the cspan thread for highlights.

I'm watching it on mute unless MSNBC breaks in with coverage of the hurricane/protests. Otherwise my attention is firmly focused on other stuff at the moment.

Does watching a live stream affect the ratings?

Short answer no. Most ratings you see are from the meter panel universe. However we do sell ratings based on streaming, but they are counted separately in a separate ratings universe.

did this guy legitimately just talk about how he was a chimney sweep and how it made him humble and that it was why he belonged in congress and then in the next breath denigrate congress for having someone who used to be a bartender in it

and then said that if the dems got elected they'd bring about the same kind of socialism his grandfather fought against in WW2

I'm pretty sure what he was going for is "the name means National Socialism" rather than outing his Dad as a Nazi or, like, serving with Finland during the Winter War.

Defending nationalism, in those terms. Literally.

"The Washington elites want you to think this kind of foreign policy is immoral. So they call it 'nationalist'. That tells you all you need to know. The DC crowd thinks that when they call Trump a nationalist they're insulting him."

"Working class" means having one of the following republican approved professions:


Mechanic
House builder/maintainer. A category that includes chimney sweeps and contractors
Lumberjack
Miner/oil driller
Plumber
Farmer
Fisherman

If you make less than 50,000 a year and your profession is not on this list, you're not working class, you're actually a coastal elite who mooches off the hard work that everyone in the above category does to make America great.

i just feel bad for that dude sorta. reading on him he seems like good enough person and real activist. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chen_Guangcheng he is pretty interesting and the only way people will hear about him is because he used another fuckhead regimes platform.

no. i think Suburbia hates/dislikes trump(for good and dumb reasons) and its alot more socially liberal/progressive, BLM is still supported by the majority it seems, plus more people are scared of covid, their jobs/economy imploding and trumps gently caress ups than they are of the "urban horde". its unstable openly bigoted rear end in a top hat who fucks up constantly vs boring old but empathetic center lib. they will take the later. trumps screaming "nixon" while he is really screaming and his actions are speaking "Wallace".
