Chris- Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 I browsed a local 'citizen journalism' Facebook group which is typically neck deep in dumb bullshit (plenty of 'masks don't work' and 'it's suspicious Biden won' nonsense), and even they see through Mitch's bullshit. This is fucking hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which leaves Democratic-leaning voters who are getting fired up to GOTV over this, Republican-leaning voters who are being discouraged into staying home on this, and that tiny slice of the electorate that seems to legit just vote based on the how good their last fart happened to be. Do we have any idea at all on how much of each group might still be outstanding? @SaysWho? I know the polling says people who've already voted is pretty close.

Greatoneshere Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 I feel like some on the left forgot Biden is a corporate centrist democrat who literally said that "nothing will change" to wall street groups if he became president given how shocked or chagrined some people are at his decisions, which make perfect sense if you know Biden. He's more referring about going back to Obama era gradualism and incremental change. Once Biden is in office, holding him accountable has always been the next step in the battle to help Americans.  Step 1: Fucking save everyone by getting rid of Trump Step 2: Vote in Biden to at least bring competence and some semblance of normalcy and some sense of fairness/norms/whatever to government Step 3: Hold Biden's feet to the fire for 4 years while we make as many progressive strides as possible Step 4: Elections 2022 Step 5: Elections 2024  That's the pathway I see that slowly gets our asses out of all of this mess. Obviously, I need optimal outcomes every step of the way for me to even see a potential future for us long term. So far, slowly the left is realizing we are transitioning into step 3 because Biden is not even liberal, much less a progressive.    Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't doing away with 230 now mean that all cloud-based email providers would have to scan through all mail to ensure they aren't liable for whatever is being spoken about? I don't see any real difference between like Reddit and Gmail other than presentation.  Then again...what's to stop all these companies from updating their terms to state that any costs that resulting from 230 lawsuits would be directly the responsibility of the offending users?
