I usually am. Ive got a habit of calling shit out 5-10 years before anybody else wants to acknowlesge it :thumbsup:


I did agree with Bobby Jindal's assessment in the aftermath of 2012, calling the GOP the "stupid party". But I thought the stupidity and craziness was a minority, and I was completely wrong.

Now if only we had a good party to contrast and not a party only interested in fundraising. We need to take the guys who are good at politics like the Lincoln project and have them teach Pelosi so she can stop shooting Dems in the foot.

for all the talk of demographics flipping texas, it will eventually be correct. it won’t be brown/black people and legal immigrants flipping it though, which the lefties always have said would be the cause.

it will be pale pasty privileged lefty transplants going to texas in droves, running away from the rotten politicial fruits of their labor in another state

Practically the whole party has endorsed the worst aspects of Trump, particularly this recent effort to steal the election. Years ago they had room to argue it was just about policy... they can't make that argument anymore.

There's no precedent for how Trump has handled his election loss.

I'm quite frankly shocked that you, who were an avid spreader of the "RussiaGate" hoax, would post such a thing.

You claimed for years that Russia somehow hacked or influenced the 2016 election, and even after a 3 year investigation failed to show any such thing, and in fact conclusively proved it to be the hoax it was (unless you think meme shitposting on facebook is hacking an election), you still to this day make strange and false claims to that effect, are now talking about how safe things are?

Why are voting machines used that are produced by a foreign company? I don't care WHAT nation the company is from. It's a foreign entity. How could any American EVER trust tabulation machines built and designed by foreign entities? That right there, by itself, throws more doubt on the 2020 election than anything from any other election ever.

The absolute butthurt over Russia from right wingers is practically a new energy source at this point.

I wouldn't be surprised if Ice and Thor have a response saved in their profile by this point, given this is like the 60th time in the last month someone has tried this line thinking it has any merit.
