US Election Week 2020

[DGuller]

Every time I play the latest version of HOI 4, the Spanish Civil War make me feel a little uncomfortable.  You have the organized but deplorable Nationalists starting with the element of surprise and gaining ground, you have hapless Republicans always being one or more steps behind, and just when they're about to regain their footing the Anarchists stage an uprising, feeling that Republicans are too unwilling and too incompetent to further their causes.

[saskganesh]

Any particular reason you suddenly feel the need to defend these fucking gang of spineless sleezeballs who were quite alright to close rank and follow this utter piece of shit Trump?

Because one of the very first issues I ever cared about in politics in my life was the national debt.  Which is a problem that in both Canada and the US we manned up and solved - but now it's come back worse than ever.

You should have taken finance rather than law. |It's a different reality. As well,you would have far richer.

Yeah I didn't hear too much about the court packing. I think everyone knew Biden would never do that.

I also didn't hear too much about it, but for a different reason.  I think a lot of people thought so what if he does?

This is just pure gut obviously.

[Eddie Teach]

Yeah I didn't hear too much about the court packing. I think everyone knew Biden would never do that.

Well, he certainly won't now.

[Valmy]

Yeah I didn't hear too much about the court packing. I think everyone knew Biden would never do that.

Well, he certainly won't now.

Indeed.

I think it is likely that we will see more unrest in the future.  We already have unrest now; some of those Qanon assholes were plotting to shoot up the place where they doing the vote count in Philadelphia.  If Trump and his henchmen actually succeed in getting Pennsylvania to throw out the vote and have the legislature crown Trump... Think American Maidan.

[derspiess]

Yeah I didn't hear too much about the court packing. I think everyone knew Biden would never do that.

I didn't know he wouldn't. He refused to answer the question. How did everyone else know he wouldn't.

[Valmy]

Yeah I didn't hear too much about the court packing. I think everyone knew Biden would never do that.

I didn't know he wouldn't. He refused to answer the question. How did everyone else know he wouldn't.

Because he is Joe Biden. Bipartisan Joe who wants to be buds with everybody.

He said he would form a bipartisan committee to explore the issue. I am sure the Republicans would have been big fans.

[Eddie Teach]

Yeah I didn't hear too much about the court packing. I think everyone knew Biden would never do that.

I didn't know he wouldn't. He refused to answer the question. How did everyone else know he wouldn't.

His coyness certainly didn't hurt turnout on either side.

Yeah the coyness was done out of some political calculation, I don't remember exactly.

But it wasn't going to happen.

I just heard Joe's speech and he is so conciliatory and wholesome about us all coming together to build the future it sounds so 20 years ago.  It was all nice to hear but...it sounds pretty out of touch with the kind of situation he will be walking into.

I don't think he's naive as to how difficult his job is going to be with an obstructionist Senate and the vitriolic political discourse from the right. He's been campaigning for President for months and saw the obstructionism first hand as Vice President. But he's being elected president now and saying how shitty the other side is acting and how unfair his detractors are isn't particularly presidential.

[katmai]

Yeah Valmy has been listening to Trump too much these past four years.

[crazy canuck]

Meadows tested positive.  Has been to how many events in the last week?

[Valmy]

Yeah Valmy has been listening to Trump too much these past four years.

Very true.

I wasn't saying that Joe shouldn't say things like that I was just saying how it felt under the circumstances.
