bhsman posted:I'm curious to know which goons have already voted or if anyone prefers going on Election Day for the spectacle/tradition. There's a lot of folks posting early voting trip reports in the TXPOL thread. For me, it was a) potentially helping to depress the R vote, and b) being available on Election Day in case any friends need a ride.

VitalSigns posted:We should ignore people who "feel that way" because people who "feel that way" are wrong, scientifically, their dumbshit feelings and opinions are medically dangerous, and they should have no influence in government. Seriously. It's one thing when a regular citizen says "I feel (this completely indefensible thing) about vaccines." When one runs for the highest office in the land (or really any public office), one loses that privilege. At best, it's irresponsible and unworthy of adulthood.

Spoondick posted:also, in coming from the future, im laughing my rear end off at these threads because all the concern about hillarys health was actually justified because we ended up with 7 years 10 months of president tim kaine, which of course led to the technological singularity and our colonization of the moons of jupiter Well, that's what happens when we're all in harmony-ca.

Night10194 posted:Some of that might just be Souls to the Polls and all, but still. If Comey just ends up energizing the democratic base or bouncing off and his hatchet job doesn't even accomplish anything, it will be perfect. Hope it does. For weeks I'd already planned to vote yesterday for Clinton, but I was pissed when I went to the ballot.

Dick Trauma posted:Is it just me or has Trump drastically cut down on tweeting? It seems like the debate was the last source we've had of his crazy bullshit instead of the steady trickle we'd been enjoying. In addition to the solid points so far, Hillary's campaign started that Troll Trump website that automatically collects donations whenever Trump tweets. Posting from phone, don't have a link handy, but it's a funny and well made site that may have gotten his attention.

Aesop Poprock posted:Are there any articles available about how Trump consistently attacks people about things he himself has done? I don't even know how to phrase it to look it up on google I've gone through like 6 different re-wordings I went with "Trump accusation projection". This was the first result.

Gunder posted:Question from an interested European: What happens if Trump loses but refuses to concede or refuses to accept the outcome of the vote? Does this cast America into political paralysis? Does the loser have to concede at all? Can the country just say: "Whatever" and get on with business as usual? Depends on his actions. If he just rants and raves, it's one guy being loud and stupid. America pretty much moves on. If he incites armed action, he gets arrested by the FBI for sedition.

The hardest choice for the Imperials vs Stormcloaks involves the English voice actors. Colonel Tigh vs Buliwyf? Are you kidding me???? But really it's an easy choice because gently caress racism.

Craptacular! posted:So, just so you know: when you're so outraged that you "can't even" or whatever, it's better to just say nothing, because it's those sort of reactions that lead people to think "guess I'll go Gonna go back a bit for this one. Craptacular! posted:I think it's at the point where I don't disagree with these peoples chosen candidate so much as I disagree with how solemnly serious they are about promoting it. I've voted Democrat for most things barring some civic offices and Schwarzenegger, I should be happy in this echo chamber, but I'm getting disgusted because it won't go away. I have two reactions to this - one empathetic, another harsh. 1) It can be exhausting to watch a bunch of comfortable-to-rich white dudes competing in the Woke Olympics. 2) This talk about "getting disgusted because it won't go away" comes off as extremely privileged, like why won't these filthy peasants lighten up occasionally. This might be projection on my part - you seem to be coming from a place of privilege. Telling persons of color how they should express their anger or frustration or grief is really not fair or effective. Better to seek understanding. Like, read a lot and monitor your actions. It's not a switch to toggle, it's not an end goal, but it is important.

Craptacular! posted:Thank you for the consideration. It's thoroughly exhausting to be someone's personal guide through intersectional issues. Feeling entitled to guidance, or casting blame when someone reacts with anger, is not gonna help you grow or improve things as a whole. Try to understand another's perspective. If it's not clear, don't cast blame. Keep looking. If you have a close friend who can help you with this - great! Don't ever ever ever ever take them for granted. On top of that, read. A lot. Tiny Brontosaurus posted:For anyone new to all this that adventure with Crappy is pretty much a perfect textbook case of how this poo poo usually goes. The vague but oh-so-reasonable concerns that perhaps PC culture goes to far. The forays into more and more blatant racism. The outrage at not being welcomed with open arms. The orders to educate. The sniffing about how ill-treated they have been, and finally the ball-taking and home-going. PLEASE LISTEN TO TB, SERIOUSLY JESUSFUCK
