US Gen. Election Thread V: The Hunt for Red October Surprise

[Jerzylvania]

I'm confused now.

Green and Trump supporters are clashing behind the CNN stage

I'd give the edge to the group with the most Neanderthal DNA.

[Galborea]

I feel extremely weird when I'm in a extremely white area

Avoid Iowa then.

[The Alma Mater]

Jill Steins supporters are pissed as fuck

Why yes, I am pissed that the only candidate who isn't a corporatist or a warmonger and actually cares about the environment has zero chance of winning.

Is she not the doctor who refuses to speak up against the "vaccines cause autism" and "9/11 was an inside job" crap ?

[Othelos]

I'm from the DC area, and when I first moved to Utah , it felt so weird to see so little diversity. THe school itself was OK due to foreign students, but there was so little elsewhere. It felt wrong, like something was missing.

That's exactly how I felt.

It was strange, like I had reversed time by a couple of decades.

I feel extremely weird when I'm in a extremely white area

I wouldn't go that far, but it did feel odd to me. I don't get the appeal of a 100% white nation.

[Thermodolia]

Avoid Iowa then.

Or most of the developed, Western world.

Ya no.

I feel extremely weird when I'm in a extremely white area

Avoid Iowa then.

Don't worry I will. I like Atlanta.

[Jerzylvania]

Avoid Iowa then.

I got some Norwegian family there.

Not quite. It's more like she plays with the issue. Declaring her support for vaccines, but answering questions in a way that gives the anti-vaxxers some breathing room.

So, what actually happens if Trump contests the election on November 8?

[Godular]

So, what actually happens if Trump contests the election on November 8?

We all get a good long laugh at his expense.

[Jerzylvania]

So, what actually happens if Trump contests the election on November 8?

He becomes the punchline to about 10 billion jokes.

[Austiana]

So, what actually happens if Trump contests the election on November 8?

Would it be an Al Gore style challenge, demanding a recount? Or a law suit against the FEC? Or something else?

[Neutraligon]

CNN says that Trump's claim that the state department lost 6 billion is false.

The snap poll said that Clinton is better on the economy than Trump 50%-48%

Isn't that the thing that Trump was supposed to do better then Clinton being a business man and all.

[Othelos]

You know, I recently visited my grandparents in rural-ish northern Virginia, and when I realized that almost everyone I saw was white, I felt like the normal diversity that colors my everyday life was missing. Different perspectives and micro-cultures associated with non-whites just wasn't around. It was just one big wash of white people. (For the record, I am white.)

Needless to say, I didn't get the appeal - how is it better to have an all-white country than a diverse country?

Crime rates are lower in less diverse white countries, countries are more unified in homogenous nations in general.

Hard to have ethnic or cultural conflict in a homogeneous nation.

The US has never been homogeneous and it never will be; it's extremely big and has different cultures within and between races. Besides, the US almost split up once, and that was the doing of a nation almost entirely white. So, that argument doesn't hold up to scrutiny.

[Austiana]

Or most of the developed, Western world.

Ya no.

So the Western world isn't 80-90% white?

I live in a African American and Hispanic majority area. So ya it feels fucking strange.

The vaccine talking point has been long debunked, and Stein never said 9/11 was an inside job, just that there are things about the American government protecting people involved that they aren't telling us about.

[Farnhamia]

So, what actually happens if Trump contests the election on November 8?

He can call for recounts at the state level. There is no such thing as a national recall. Some states have laws that trigger recounts if the candidates are within 1% or something.

Would it be an Al Gore style challenge, demanding a recount? Or a law suit against the FEC? Or something else?

Suing the FEC makes no sense since they don't count the votes. He'd have to sue a whole bunch of state governments if that's the route he chooses.

[Corrian]

You know, I'm finding Jill Stein supporters some of the most annoying supporters this election cycle.

[Thermodolia]

Ya no.

So the Western world isn't 80-90% white?

No. Not all.

[Jovuistan]

You're not alone...

[Arlenton]

So, what actually happens if Trump contests the election on November 8?

Would it be an Al Gore style challenge, demanding a recount? Or a law suit against the FEC? Or something else?

No, since his loss won't even be close.

[Soldati Senza Confini]

So, what actually happens if Trump contests the election on November 8?

We end up with a Bush-Gore scenario where all the votes have to be recounted.

[Cannot think of a name]

So, what actually happens if Trump contests the election on November 8?

Nothing, really. He bloviates for four to eight years which will be much longer than anyone pays attention.

Depends if the state's let him
