Christ, these numbers are still hair's breadth close and even I would be demanding recounts if I were Trump, but......I think I might be starting to relax for the first time in twelve hours. NO WAIT DON'T JINX IT I'M SORRY

Seven Hundred Bee posted:here's an article that speaks about this small sliver of the electorate: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/14/us/politics/trump-macho-appeal.html This article literally provides no evidence for your argument that young, Hispanic men are voting for Trump because they like that he talks down to women. I think if you’re going to make those kinds of sweeping statements about a racial group, you should have much, much more than gut feeling to go on.

Seven Hundred Bee posted:democrats eat children to harvest their precious adenechrome? what is your shared frame of reference? Well, it doesn't help that only the specifics are off. You had Clinton on Epstein's plane, what was he doing on it? Who knows. You end up having to start with "Yes, democrats are monsters, but..." and good luck with that being a compelling argument. Yes, pretty much everyone in power was connected to Epstein, but saying, "but Republicans also do adenechrome harvesting" only gets you to BSABSVR.

skylined! posted:Can anyone explain Arizona to me? Was it just that trump poo poo all over McCain? AZ has been slightly shifting towards blue for years. Maricopa county is the most populous county in AZ and is filled with young people and POC. There was an article someone posted in USPOL a while back that I cant find that did a pretty deep dive into how AZ has changed over the past few years. edit: found it, even though the headline has since been proved wrong for the rest of the country: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2020-09-03/u-s-election-have-the-republicans-lost-the-suburbs-arizona-county-suggests-so How is the thread doing? I went to bed in despair, barely slept, and feel pretty similar this morning but gonna go to work to distract myself, and then read about getting involved in dual power organizing. I think Biden is gonna pull it out but holy poo poo 2022 seems really bad.

perhaps: a) kissing up to the GOP whilst giving the finger to progressives b) going balls deep on nonstop covid hysteria and turning a virus into a morality play to own the bad orange man are not the best campaign strategies to utilize. who knew? Biden looks like he's probably going to win anyway, but goddamn...

You don't. We don't need them and it's a mistake to think that anyone who has bought into Trumpism or Q or whatever should be welcomed back into the fold. The organizing needs to be focused on the marginalized people who managed to not fall down a thinly veiled white supremacist conspiracy theory hole or declare their allegiance to a bigot and all the violence he promises to enact. Not saying that they should be exiled or sent to the gulag - they deserve a safe, comfortable existence just like everybody else. But the way you stop them is by breaking the back of their movement and preventing it from ever gaining power, influence, or even acceptance in society ever again and ruthlessly stomping anyone who even tries it. Then you can do the work of educating them and rehabilitating them into politics again.

syntaxrigger posted:I think protecting kids is probably a good shared frame of reference. There is a sex trade in the US but it isn't how they think. It is pre-teens and teens being kidnapped, abducted, brainwashed to run away from home to eventually get pimped out for some rear end in a top hat. Basically Epstein poo poo but a smaller scale. Shift their rage towards something that moves the needle on a real problem and there will be less crazy. In reality a lot of sex trade victims are not white though, so most republicans wont really care. Especially the q-anon segment. In addition, the incredible fiction/narrative is what makes it interesting for them. They'll abandon reality for fantasy that lives up to their expectations in a heartbeat. That's fundamentally the whole point of the thing.

Covok is the most thin-skinned D&D poster imaginable and they still got closer to the mark than any Rose Emoji or Psuedo-political Psuedo-scientist in this forum over the past two years, dismissing them, frankly, should be punishable given how many times they’ve been probated for what ended up being completely legible predictions.

Fairly rapid shift in constituencies from people moving into Arizona. quote:One of the heartlands of the modern Republican Party, Arizona has remained stubbornly out of reach for Democratic presidential candidates this century, giving them 44 to 45 percent of the vote. https://www.washingtonpost.com/elections/interactive/2020/exit-polls/arizona-exit-polls/ It was probably not due to Cindy McCain's endorsement of Biden, although that certainly didn't help Trump.

Well this is wrong because Kenosha is historically a blue leaning county. They voted for Trump in 2016 but it's currently considered a "swing" county.
