I felt this way about all the Serious Centrists in America who kept wringing their hands about Clinton after the conventions.

WeAreTheRomans posted:I remember in the US elections (2012 IIRC) when Republicans were outraged that Democrats were supplying buses to bring senior citizens to the polls. Apparently this was a very anti-democratic thing to do. I think they were Jewish seniors which explains something You will find republicans who outright say that people who don't pay tax shouldn't vote. Sometimes they go one farther and say their should be poll taxes, and literacy tests, like the good old days!

Guavanaut posted:If we had voting machines instead of this archaic nonsense then there'd be no need for the fast count and G4S could just tell us who won the day before the election. Voting machines are the worst, take it from us. Paper ballots are more secure, by far. Unless you are Florida of course but, honestly, those people could gently caress up wet dreams.

Regarde Aduck posted:Our food is great. We took the best bits of European food and removed the excess bullshit. The thing about European food is an intense desire to hide the actual taste of whatever the base is. You're not supposed to taste the beef or chicken. We find this weird. Our detractors call us bland. The only European food worth a drat is Italian who understand that food should be fun, not pomp. Everyone else, including the US who just stole everything and uses a knife and fork to cut steak up into tiny pieces before consumption and no one should ever accept their wisdom or advice on food ever, you can all piss off. Man, if the secret to English cuisine is under flavoring meats then, uh, no wonder it has the reputation it has.

Cerebral Bore posted:Dunno about the bolded part, she did employ the people who managed to run a worse campaign than Donald loving Trump, after all. She won more votes. Her campaign was generally competent. The campaign that beat them had the advantages of Republican state governments suppressing the vote, the Russian hacking and propaganda operations, and the FBI director allowing himself to be used in an ultimately baseless smear against her at the 11th hour, and they still came up shy in the final tally. Too bad the need to compromise with slave state delegates at the constitutional convention has saddled us with the Electoral College system. Basically, our system is loving awful. It's awful to the benefit of the Republicans though, and changing it is nigh impossible.

Cerebral Bore posted:lol jesus gently caress no, Hillary's campaign was not competent. If you want to see what a competent campaign looks like, you might want to look up a certain Absolute Boy. You say this, yet the outcomes aren't much different. The Democrats picked up seats in both chambers of Congress but do not hold a majority in either, and Clinton is not the chief executive not due to lack of enthusiasm among her supporters, but how our country allocates electoral votes. If if I am not mistaken, Labour didn't receive a majority of votes cast either, whereas Clinton did. Again, our system is loving poo poo and the Clinton campaign wasn't perfect. I just don't understand the desire to solely blame Clinton herself for the loss given that there were so many obvious things outside of her control that affected the outcome. Mass voter suppression first and foremost, then swiftly followed by the Russian influence campaign.

CptAwesome posted:Yeah wheras Stewart was a nonsense spewing new age buzzword type trying to modernise the Not-Tories which is probably about as competent as a decision as calling a general election then hiding from the public. The scene where he and Mannion discuss Mannion leaving his shirt untucked was loving priceless though. I think my favorite Stewart episode is the one where Mannion and Nichola are doing a radio program together and proceed to gently caress it up at every corner and it ends with Maclom and Stewart deciding to issue joint statements calling them both imbeciles
