i like the implication that libertarians wouldn't consider voting for a democrat as their second choice. as much as i despise libertarians there are a lot of them that would chose a democrat over GOP and view the latter as utterly hypocritical and the former as more in line with protecting personal freedoms for people

Biden is sitting on 264 electoral votes right now and needs at least another 6 to win the election. He's currently less than 1,800 votes behind Trump in Georgia and slooowly gaining ground, he's expected to overtake him later tonight and eventually beat him by several thousand votes which will give him an additional 16 electoral college votes.

Jorgensen got 61,328 votes in that state. :v:

Imagine if the difference is smaller than the number of write-in votes, that could be blamed on anybody, by anybody, for whichever outcome

eh sorry homeslice. but personal experience plus data would say the 4channers are correct in this case. there's something like 90%+ libertarians that would either side with republicans or are secret republicans. there's a reason you have that saying that libertarians are just republicans that like weed. also why legendary libertarians, matt and trey of south park fame said "we hate conservatives but we REALLY loving hate liberals"

Yeah totally. It wasn't years of the right's erosion of normal decency, or their refusal to compromise on things, or the tea party, or blind greed. It was a democrat. Sure, pal.

Nothing to do with the Crime Bill, a decision to invade Iraq, voting for NAFTA, serving vice president to the guy that handed Trump the presidency. You have the foresight of a proper DNC candidate. How do you quantify "erosion of normal decency" when they've been the same batshit lunatics since at least the Reagan administration, succeeded in dragging the Democrats right with every President since Clinton and helped with destroying any solidarity with the working class forever?

probably not, third-party voters have been shown to mostly stay home (or leave that position blank) instead of switching if not given the option of their preferred party for stuff like the president

Conservatives have been batshit nuts since Goldwater but democrats like Biden keep trying to work with them and declare that they are not the enemy. Conservatives haven’t done anything in a bubble, they’ve needed either passivity or assent from democrats to do all of that. Democrats aren’t the poor little underdogs here, they’re the party of wealthy coastal liberals and they have massive resources at their disposal which they mostly use to ensure that captive minorities continue to vote for them so they can continue to give big sloppy handjobs to Wall Street and banks and pharma and insurance. And if Democrats are feeling really benevolent they might hand out a few scraps to the non-millionaires who vote for them because the only alternative is the literal blood and soil party.

actually lol yes it was both you stupid gently caress. enabling a fascist party (the republicans) the way they (the democrats) do is in fact ushering in fascism. you're even accidentally using fascism correctly: turning the tools of the empire against its own people in the service of capital (i.e. the rich loving over the poor).

again: these loving shitlords had total government control in 2009-2010. right after GWB. a chance to right the shitshow that was america murdering/starving/causing the deaths of millions of civilians over the years preceding. is a personal thing for me in that their specific "incompetence" was what made me realize we're hosed as a nation because our leadership only serves the rich, full stop. prior to then I was a dumbass just like you. now I'm a new kind of dumbass. a dumbass that is inherently better than your dumb rear end. this post is to help you be less of a dumb dumbass, you dumbass.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/111th_United_States_Congress

the 111th congress, a coalition of shitlumps. not as in "these congresspeople are subhuman pieces of poo poo," though they are, but as in "if these people were replaced with lumps of poo poo, it would be the same net effect in dealing with the real problems we face."

total democrat control over house, senate, and presidency. what'd the people get?

--bank bailouts with no serious prosecution or regulation

--no resistance to/possibly direct support of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens_United_v._FEC (citizens united, aka "the money of the rich has more voice than you, now loving die quietly in the streets, pissant.") which honestly is probably directly responsible for the acceleration of the destruction of everything since after that, high-polluting corporations could just dump as much money into campaigns as they wanted to, fully mask-off, so if I had to pick one particular "lol you dumbass yes, the DNC is heavily responsible for trump," this would be it since it allowed the money faucets to drown what shreds of a pretend-democracy we had, aka ushering in fascism by allowing capital to work even more unopposed against the interests of literally everyone else.

--no holding-accountable of BP for ruining the gulf coast (remember? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deepwater_Horizon_oil_spill?)

--a half-assed 90s republican healthcare plan rebranded as obamacare instead of actually helping the most vulnerable 20+ million who still could not afford the ACA (because when something is "affordable" it is by definition something that "costs money" so "poor people are hosed yet again." yeah it's great that about 20+ million other people got quasi-not-poo poo healthcare, but again: total government control. and they used what republicans poo poo out in the 90s instead of something that actually helps people. https://www.congress.gov/bill/103rd-congress/senate-bill/1770 is the bill that became obamacare. yeah, the HEART act. from loving chafee.)

--no gitmo closing

--new cages for kids

--enhancements/streamlining to GWB's dronesassination program

--a nice general sense of "guys we're just too loving stupid to deal with the republicans. they're just too politically savvy. sure we hold all the levers of power, but we will loving die before we exercise any of that power to help you plebian fucktards since we know you'll just vote for us again. lol get fukt hahaha you think they won't 'work with us' lol you goddamn dumbasses we work for the same ultra wealthy people which is why every corporation that has real money donates to both parties hahaha oh poo poo is my mic still on"

there's probably more poo poo but I spent most of that time real fuckin drunk because it became increasingly clear that GWB was not an aberration, he was the embodiment of Real America, as in The Hyperwealthy Who Never Really Worked For Their Wealth: just dumbfucks who lucked into money and power and privilege because they fell out of the right cunts at the right time, and think they know a goddamn thing because of that luck.

this also doesn't go into the voting records of these same shitlords (how they helped start the iraq war for instance) or how these same shitlords spent the preceding 2-3 decades gutting american industry for the wealthy with nothing given to the poeple who lost their jobs to the imperial core finally turning to devour its own (i.e. capital going fully global and not solely making GBS threads on the minorities within its own borders but starting to poo poo harder on everyone in the working class regardless of identity).

it's less that the democrats "caused" trump and more that "the democrats are not your friends you loving idiot, they exist to be the nice hand of the rich relative to the mean hand of the rich that are the republicans. they don't actually hate trump, or the republicans. it's kayfabe."

I mean it's cute that people believe we're a two-party state but:
