Aint no such thing as halfway crooks.

If you support a racist then you support racism and are in fact and in practice - a racist.

Same as pregnancy.

Either you are or you aren't.

No such thing as a little bit pregnant.

what's your counter to the argument that they are ALL racists but one party is just more upfront with it?

 

[based mod]

Votes counting is an awful thing.

It's like with coronavirus testing. Rhetoric is the same.

 

[LumenoK-]

FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!
haha weeeeee

 

[blastercombo]

Stupid votes! With their stupid vote powers!

 

[dwalk31]

No you won't

I will

 

[af1 1982]

BANG

 

[blastercombo]

They show up normally, but not in the numbers they showed up in last night. Voter turn out was far higher among republicans last night than usual.

Republicanism is a culture where as dems have to be persuaded to be so. Totally different frames of thought

Biden is going to win this thing. Now what Black people need to prepare for, is even more white domestic terrorism. Those of you who fall easily for white women, I am talking to Black men, be very careful out there, especially in places outside of LA and NYC those that do not have a more liberal lean.

once Biden wins and you obviously have to focus heavily on the BS that will come between now and Biden actually getting sworn in

the party has to heavily heavily HEAVILY get going on 2022

 

[raider5]

According to Google - Biden is closing the gap and within 88k votes in Georgia and 100k votes in North Carolina.

 

[freeze]

94% counted.

[osh kosh bosh]

[superblytrife]

FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!
haha weeeeee

Fam, seek help.

 

[uncalled4boy]

Why'd the opponent concede with only 75% of the votes counted? Not enough people in that final 25%?

Odd Thing Was CNN Reported Just Before She Conceded How She Still Had A Chance.

 

[SoleSzn]

what's your counter to the argument that they are ALL racists but one party is just more upfront with it?

Voter suppression in urban cities, county redistricting,

 

[superantigen]

The senate is the real prize. If Dems can't flip the Senate, and it's looking more and more like they won't be able to, then it will be business as usual irrespective of who is in the White House. McConnell is gonna ensure Biden is a lame duck prez if Agent Orange loses.

Minority rule is gonna continue to bleed us slowly.

...

 

[IATT]

 

[yasuke.]

So with Biden gaining with these vote counts, wouldn't that mean those Senate races are somewhat in play too?

 

[blastercombo]

If Georgia and Michigan projections hold up....... it’s over

Does he realize the Senate and president are voted on the same ballot? So then if he's losing, but somebody else in his party is getting their votes..then the ballots are legit.

Exactly and you can't do that without explaining why its not socialism and distancing from it.

You aren't saying anything new or different here. Government run healthcare isn't socialism. We have it already for a third of our population with medicare. Democrats did a piss poor job this election delineating and explaining that most dont want socialism when republicans called it that.

Say what you want, but the opposition party will largely control the messaging whether we like it or not whether it be taxes, healthcare, etc.

What I'm saying is it's frustrating often seeing Dems, even the most progressive ones, always on the backfoot and being defensive when asked about policies that in large part would benefit most of the electorate who in turn would agree with them out of fear over how the GOP will portray them.

Who gives a **** at this point when they've leaned in wholeheartedly into being an American fascist party that have proven to despise representative Democracy and most of the population.

Gotta explain and break down those policies in laymans terms, dumb it down if you have to word to Lupe , for voters.

At least instead of being shy and tepid about it for fear of being labeled whatever buzzword the GOP focus groups prefer that day. It would take away a lot of the potency of that rw framing challenging it head on instead of running away from it out of fear imo.

That kind of tactic is what created one of the most surreal images I've seen in American politics earlier this cycle when deep red MAGA's gave a standing ovation to a supposed 'radical' Democratic senator after actually learning about those policies first hand in plain terms for what they really are. Same with exit polls, GOP heavy, framing the issues at their base level and the results being quite favorable towards progressive policies.

Not for the giant scary boogeyman the GOP has built up over time out of fear for the appeal that many of those policies would have on some of their voters.

What are the projections?

Idk about georgia. But with biden taking wisconsin. All he needs is michigan, which he's leading by 50k and nevada, who is mostly vegas and reno, which he's up, and he's #46.
