Frankly, that's good. People would have poured $100 million + into those that are needed in other states.

I've seen a couple people mention this and I completely agree. We don't want spending in safe areas.

My only concern is the right now has a reason to vote and could hurt down ballot races.

Now, we'll see how many of those Haley voters who refused to vote for Trump will follow through.

I think the majority of them are Biden voters who want to make Trump look bad.

As horrifying as this election is it will be very interesting to see how it plays out. Based on what the talking heads said last night there are around a hundred critical things that will determine the outcome.

If users on certain message boards reported these "obvious" trolls then maybe the moderators would take action. It receives so little use the moderator inbox has cobwebs. :(

The moderation team (you know it isn't just one person, right?) has taken a hands-off attitude when it comes to policing this board, particularly in political threads where you should know what to expect. I have taken to ignoring these political threads most of the time because the sheer tonnage of garbage spewed forth by supposedly intelligent people would stun a team of oxen in its tracks. Being exposed to this much toxicity on a regular basis has proved a detriment to my mental health. But you (the collective you) don't seem to mind so laissez faire it is. If you would prefer hall monitors who check passes and hand out demerits, that can be arranged. Just don't get upset if you discover a ruler rapping you in the wrists.

If we have a Senator Garvey come January 2025, I don’t think any of us on here, French Rage included, are going to give a flying f-ck that California has a Senator Garvey.

And, of course, we won't. Democrats have been winning 60-65% of statewide races in CA for some time now, and this isn't going to magically be the race that changes that. National races are right at 50-50 and so can flip; it takes a lot lot lot lot lot more for a 66-35 race.

For the record I voted for Porter in the primary. I don't know if I would go for Schiff or Porter in the general, but I was hoping to get her in the general so it was Dem v Dem.

If the DNC worked as hard to defeat Fascists as it does to kneecap Progressives we would still have the House and a working majority in the Senate. I would say the strategy of propping up a strawman so it would be easier to beat him in the general won't backfire but President Hillary Clinton proved the Democrats are capable of anything.

Senator Garvey? No, no. Even the Democrats can't blow California. Right?

Ah yes...the true bastion of light in the darkness is here to tell us all how pure he is and how the rest are just worthless! Thank you Priceless for once again reminded us why people like you lose almost every important election they run in.

Its amazing how powerful the DNC truly is. They not only rig elections against Donald Trump (before he was a nominee even!) but they also stop Progressives from making any real headway. Who knew Debbie Wasserman-Shultz, Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi were all just Lex Luthor hiding in plain sight!! Here I was thinking it was because certain candidates don't resonate with the majority of voters but nah, it is that the DNC is pegging them without lube. Man, so much power and influence!! If only the DNC allowed Marianne Williamson be in charge...what a world we would live in! Although I am sure I can buy a few crystals and get there anyways.
 
So I got home from a late shift last night and the SO was watching "election coverage" and I gotta say, the stark contrast in how various networks (not Faux) were covering the night was interesting. CBS was mostly throwing dirt on Biden saying Trump is more popular with Independents (according to their latest poll which I am sure is a methodological wonder like the latest NYT/Sienna poll was) while also putting up hilarious calendars of Trump's schedule which had all the court dates blocked off. MSNBC was mostly doing victory laps and giving a eulogy for Nikki Haley. (her political career is mostly over now) And after about a half an hour of listening to them I had her switch to CNN and you would think Joe Biden died the way Abby Phillips and her panel of nonsense were going off. According to a lot of people I have never heard of Biden is going to lose Muslims and Blacks cause they will stay home, Latinos because apparently he has a lot of things in Spanish in certain areas, and everyone else because...well they never really found a satisfactory reason for that opinion. The best was when they talked about Trump they all spoke bombastically (especially Phillips) and with a lot of inflection...and then when they pivoted to Biden it was all hushed tones and way more somber. In 20 minutes the only real positive thing they said was that the Times polling showing Trump with 20% amongst Blacks was ridiculous and will never happen. (which then turned into they will stay home)

She then flipped back to MSNBC where Psaki had a different panel and they played it pretty even handed. Interesting that the guy who is from North Carolina said that the GOP putting forth the Black Nazi Holocaust Denier is great for Biden because he is not going to win and will lead to huge turnout of Dem voters. Tim Poole (Gay Former Republican from the Bulwark) agreed and said the business leaders will flee that guy for fear it will hurt business. I found the discussion interesting. My SO had never heard of the guy so when she saw his quotes over the years she was pretty shocked!

Is that the black guy who says the blacks owe the whites reparations?

Yeah for sure. My general point was if Garvey somehow won California, that means Trump romped, the House is 250-185 Republican, and the Senate is 60-40 R. We’d be f-cked until the end of time.

You posted a lot of irrelevant words about something the ignore button solves while completely ignoring the second part of the sentence that you caused by being childish.

That one I remember. How were Black People in North Carolina treated back then I wonder...

I just saw the video and this is being massively taken out of context. The point he makes is that when women couldn’t vote people had more backbone.
 
Oh, my bad. The holocaust Nazi denier is a real champion of women.

fuck off

as Tom Bonier just posted: “Just getting out ahead of the inevitable "but if you hear the full context of this quote, it isn't THAT bad" reactions... there's no context where this is anything short of a really dumb thing to say.” Of course the village idiot is first one to defend it
