I honestly think the source of the polls coming up worthless was ~10,000,000 people classified as Likely Voters that have voted in every presidential election of their life-- except this one.

for posterity, a la the DnD political cartoon thread:

I AM THE TOILET posted:

Every incestuous, mongrel dipshit hayseed buttfuck crawled out of their rotting logs out in the holler and stumbled to the polls and we had to count their loving votes and they won. And they didn't vote because trump is going to make their lives better, but because trump is going to make brown peoples' lives worse than their own, and pettiness forms a great chunk of the seething obsidian morass that one could generously describe as their spirit.

nice

"out in the holler."

Jesus Christ.

I haven't heard that phrase since my family got a bunch of Jeff Foxworthy recordings off of Napster. He is so goddamn pissed that someone who lives out in the holler had the sheer indecency to vote.

They only need 2/3rds of the states to propose new amendments, but they need 3/4 of the state legislatures to actually ratify them. That means 38. They'll have majorities in both houses in 32 states next year.

I bought a copy of Mein Kempf so that I can go "You know who else said X?" in as many ways as possible. I also bought a tub of vaseline at the same time because I hope that the poor Amazon warehouse worker showed the order to his coworkers before boxing it and they all had a good, sad laugh.

personally, it's when rich people try to use minority rights as a way to push focus away from economic issues that gets me down ("but would it solve racism?" "given a lot of minorities had their homes fraudulently foreclosed on, actually, yeah.")

Would it solve racism?

Like in general lol at saying race relations have been steadily improving when the last several years have been marked by black men, women, and children being murdered on the reg and with absolute loving impunity.

uh, it's being reported on sure. but when i brought up the trayvon martin case a bunch after he got murdered in cold blood, the big thing i heard from my white friends was "why do you care about that trayvon martin case so much? :shrug:"

i mean yes, we've literally improved from pretending racism's not-real anymore. that's not much of an improvement at all though, especially when you get situations like black football players getting blacklisted cause they took a knee during the pledge

my parents thought the response to michael brown was nonsense

later the next year, my mom solemnly listened when I told her about Tamir Rice and we talked about what rules we should be holding police to.

are you really expecting everything to get all the way better all at once?

I guess they didn't know that Dread Abuela actually planned send only 1% of the campaign contributions to down ticket races.


I think another reason why she lost is spent so much time shaking people down for campaign money and not enough time doing actual campaigning.

i recall posters making the argument that raising even more money was a better course of action than campaigning

i think it was something along the lines of her having it in the bag and how all that fundraising would help overwhelm the downticket

Yeah, nobody under the age of 40 would actually read that book, and of the people who did they either completely forgot about it or don't see the problem with prison labor in the first place.

For a while I followed this blog dedicated to summarizing news, and he took it on himself to read every book with Clinton's name on it to try and give his readers an idea of who Hillary herself would like them to think she is.

Never mentioned a thing about that passage.

i don't follow that blog anymore
