I mentioned this in the election thread but the real take away from this should be don't watch real time election results. That poo poo doesn't matter and serves to only stress you out and attract clicks. America seems like a little less of a hell scape this morning so that's good. This is the first day I've been able to breath easy in like 3 years. That being said, 2020 is going to be nuts.

^^ Negative, always tweet dump. sean10mm posted:I don't think trying to extrapolate from here to 2022 is very helpful or meaningful honestly. This is how I see it. It still was a +9? Vote for dems across the board, and I know that doesn't mean a whole lot, but it's not nothing. The wind is in the sails for the Ds.

mcmagic posted:Trumpism is stronger today than it was yesterday. And his chances of winning in 2020 are probably better too. Dems had a minimum +7 probably +9 popular vote and Trump won because he won 3 states by 30k votes total. Beto nearly won in Texas with a 15 point swing against Cruz. You don't know what you're talking about.

If there's an equal turnout and Trump wins 2020 while being -7 to -9 in the popular vote there's going to be riots. Not saying your analysis is wrong weasel but if that comes to pass, I know I'd be out on the streets.

If an anti-lgbt faction takes the speakership I might actually throw up. The thought is that nauseating to me.

Trump isn't doing anything unusual for Trump. He's raging on Twitter like he always does, and people have always said "oh that means something big is happening this week" and then 99 times out of 100 nothing happens.

BRAKE FOR MOOSE posted:I don't really mind Pelosi in the position, but this is just a fundamentally bad take. Refusing to criticize Dems from the left because it gives an opening for others to criticize them from the right is a moronic losing strategy. In fact, criticizing Pelosi from the left is almost certainly what is [optimistically: emboldening her to; pessimistically: scaring her to] promise greater power to progressive members of the party. The problem is progressives aren't ready to jump on and grab the speakership. Blue dogs are.

Terror Sweat posted:This thinking gets the nazi elected in the next election What's the alternative then? If your two options are vote for a centrist and vote for a Nazi, what do you do? Vote for the Nazi as a protest vote? Don't vote at all? I'd love if there was a better option available much like I'd love if there had been a better candidate than Hillary for 2016. But there wasn't, so you hold your nose and vote otherwise you get actual concentration camps and ICE raiding peoples workplaces on the orders of a corporation.

Oh Snapple! posted:This is the weirdest attempt at gaslighting. The tweets being made fun of are right there. They are not "sighs of relief". They're legitimate gushing over an oligarch toadie that 3/4 of his own country hates because he is an oligarch toadie making it easier for fascism to take hold Okay, one: gently caress you for saying I'm gaslighting anyone. That's a lovely term and you know it. Two: There's a difference between gushing and saying "we just elected the leader of the free world" because there was and still is a big vacuum of soft power because of Trump throwing a tantrum about America First/Alone, so at the time that wasn't an unrealistic thing to say. Saying he found a centrist path by being economically right and socially left is a stupid take, but hardly gushing. Saying US dems should find a Macron of their own: also not gushing! People in this thread are so desperate for an own on the centrists they're creating them out of thin air where there isn't any. It's pathetic.
