Dorothy (95) just let me know "Honey, you don't have to worry - I've already voted!"

Dude, you're seriously awesome for doing this.

Like, I admire that as bad as you think things are going to get, you're trying to make things better and not sit around and take it. It's admirable to a fucking tee.

New CNN polls are being shown on TV.

I'm listening and it's not an exaggeration. He's very lowkey. 

These were the 538 numbers:

Wow, people really did get tired of trudging up the Hill at the end there in 2016, didn't they....

Saturday before the election last time, I was freaking out. It's not so much that I couldn't believe what happened to the numbers; it's that I worried that's what would happen after the Comey letter. Watching it happen in real time was

Kansas has been one of the most fascinating states for me since reading What's The Matter With Kansas years ago. There were some big progressives initiatives that took place in that state. The suburbs have really trended Democratic in Kansas, and with Democrats' ability to actually be competitive in statewide or Senate elections (not always winning, but most certainly competitive), I've long wondered if there could be an eventual path in that state despite its voting history for Republicans.

His thread with all the details is also a fun read. Here it is:

Trump trying to rile his base by saying Biden would nominate Hillary to SCOTUS

Because nominating someone in their 70s to SCOTUS is what presidents do. Hillary should be charging rent money for staying in their heads for so long.

Ah Adariel. Wonder what happened.

@Tao 2.0 is always exciting to see back during those times he makes 2 posts and then leaves for months. I miss his stories.

Well done, Sir Sean Connery, leading a prolific life!

Sean Connery is the kind of guy who will Garfunkel your mother.

Early voting numbers are probably skewing Biden...

 

One thing I was thinking about the other day: The Electoral College is fucked, right? The only people that want to keep it in place are Republicans, because that's what helps to keep them in power. However, by keeping it, they're basically giving enough rope to hang themselves with. Texas will eventually turn blue (probably not this election, but the fact that Texas is even becoming a battleground state is telling), and once Texas flips, that's basically a nail in the coffin for the Republican party. Without California, New York, or Texas, they'll never win another presidential race again.

Nevada is a different beast. You can tell how it'll vote by the early vote, the only state you can do this. Ralston is an expert at this.

Slight break in this really good discussion, but Nevvvaaaddddaaaaa.

I think it may be a condition where medication would be really good for you, but obviously talk with your doctor. My brother started having mental health issues this year related to COVID but he feels great now.

I appreciate that! But I no longer feel understood by IGN/BadCartridge/D1P, and I don't feel close to the users here anymore. Maybe because I'm not on Discord, or don't play games online with other users here, whatever it is. But I feel more often misunderstood and misinterpreted than anything else, and people clearly don't see any longer what I mean or where I come from.

 

I take time to respond carefully (to one degree or another) and I see most of that work is kind of pointless. Not to derail the thread or anything.  

Brah you're fine. Post.

As someone else who only lurks (to an unhealthy degree), I can't say I've really seen evidence of any sort of "silencing campaign". If anything, people otherwise saying "No matter what, Trump will probably remain president (somehow)" seem to be in a majority. If not, they're quite vocal. 

 

This place has been very dramatic, and I almost feel like some users thrive off the chaos. "Nothing matters!" seems to have been the unofficial slogan of this board for at least the past year. It can become overwhelming, and without calling anyone out personally, it does seem to be impacting some users negatively. 

 

I think everyone is wary of what Trump might try to pull, but until it happens it's not "news", it's wild speculation.... and it's been speculated, constantly. If anything, I'd say it's harder to be optimistic about a Biden win around here. I, personally, don't see what good it does to "constantly redress" when the only purpose it serves it to cause anxiety. 

 

But hey, what the hell do I know? 

Holy shit this is exactly it. YES.

On Twitter alone, his attack on Perdue was viewed 12.5 million times, never mind FB/Youtube and all local news, I'm sure.

I'm happy to say when I lived in Georgia in 2014, I voted for Nunn over Perdue. I tried to stop him.
