Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

I gotta say, absent some North Carolina-style suppression tactics -- the likes of which I don't think are being alleged in Michigan, Wisconsin or Pennsylvania -- if you didn't vote, that's on you.

 

She lost the day Bernie pledged his support for her. He had millions of followers.

How many just said FUCK IT! and decided not to vote for her no matter what?

Lazy disillusioned fucks. Not everyone gets a trophy, kids.

 

You once said you're about $300,000 in debt and counting on last-minute relief from the government to take care of it.

You're practically Joe American.

 

Popular vote is passing yards. That's not who wins and loses -- it can be a component. We count electoral votes on the scoreboard. Always have.

If Democrats can't win with all of the electoral votes they already have on the coasts plus NV and, eventually, AZ and GA, that's on them. Immigrants aren't coming into red states and living. Families in Iowa or Wisconsin aren't having nine kids anymore. Not like their population growth is growing like the southwest.

 

Damn right.

This election was won in states that have been blue in recent years. It didn't suddenly get all surpressy.

 

They've been happening in Wisconsin at a minimum for a decade

 

It is a democracy. Legitimate power derives from the will of the people and all that. Occasional blips are one thing, but how many times can one side get fewer votes and lose while maintaining legitimacy?

 

Typical. Turn the blind eye to discrimination when it doesn't hurt you. When called on it, pretend requests for equality are requests for special treatment

 

Alec Baldwin just won the actor's lottery.

 

Michigan does not, and almost certainly will not, have early voting. Stories of Wisconsin early voter suppression are numerous (a clerk openly admitted to moving a site away from UW-Green Bay because of its closeness to liberal college kids), and Lord only knows what kinds of ratfucks Walker came up with in Madison to punish the folks there for their uprising against him over public sector unions.

 

Thanks for the personal tweak there. I was feeling a little neglected.

 

Had it out with 3 different folks this week:

One was church guy, who was appalled by trump but, hey, SCOTUS. Good luck with that pal. Maybe it'll break your way.

Then there was the "too good for either" folks. They wrote in McMuffin in a place far, far away from Utah. (Where he still got crushed.)

And then there was one who just couldn't vote. The whole system was too corrupt for him. Only Bernie Do Nothing in my whole senate career Sanders could have moved his heart to the polls.

How many Times did that scenario play out all over America? More than once.
