Alright, that’s good. Good to have that cleared up in advance.

Considering how dangerously polarized these midterm elections will be, both sides are scratching and searching everywhere for votes, and attempting to stop their opponents from gaining more.

Whoever wins however, someone is gonna get shot.

I said DEMOCRAT bias, not LIBERAL bias, just to clarify.

As much as those two are basically intertwined by now, the distinction is still there.

Once Manchin's out they'll be synonymous

What an ominous and dangerously possible prediction.

The stars are aligning, sadly.

Both sides have become radicalized, both sides call for violence and unrest, and both sides view this midterm election (which is usually a relatively unimportant event) as a struggle, a last chance, a fight.

Call me pessimistic, but I'll eat my own goddamn shoes if outbursts of violence don't occur after these elections.

I haven't seen the calls to violence, but I have seen an increase of emphasis on the midterm elections. Imo, that's a good thing because they usually are as important as they're currently being peddled as but nobody gave a shit. Quite refreshing to have the bulk of Americans concerned about their politics, even if it's in the least graceful way.

That is concerning. I image that if she wins, an investigation is likely to occur. And if they find stuff, Kemp and possibly the GOP in general will be in trouble.

If only they had the right's pacifism and rationality.

Second Amendment Remedies are so tranquil.

I mean it's a bit daft to suggest that Antifa are the real fascists because they hit someone wearing a swastika with a stick every now and then, and then because Antifa is positioned however many degrees to the left and Clinton and the Dems talked about manspreading once that they are in some great violent communist conspiracy to destroy the United States but I suppose that's where we are at.

You left out some buzzwords like "cultural marxist" and "postmodernist" but generally you're right.

Well Cultural Marxism is a term used by some people to describe a group of Marxist theorists who suggested that capitalism is bad because it is corrupting and degenerating culture. It is used by others to describe how the same Marxist theorists are bad because they are promoting the corruption and degeneration of culture

Postmodernism is a school of thought that is often positioned as a academic reaction against Marxism. It denies all meta-narratives and philosophical stability and is naturally conflated and used almost interchangeably by gigantic intellects like Jordan Peterson with Marxism, a school of thought that is dependent on the grand narrative of dialectic and grounded in a materialist understanding of the world.

Naturally Antifa, Marx, Adorno, the Clintons, Establishment Democrats (even some Republican Moderates), college students and professors, the Black Panthers, BLM, the ACLU, people with blue hair, most trade unionists and people who buy quinoa are all part of this same rough group, working together for the same ends.

That's my education for today.

Well, we people sure aren't inclined to work together. We got Trump's rhetoric on one side, and Clinton on the other telling us not to be civil with one another.

Presumably because Mr. Vast here agrees with his policy positions more so than his opponent?

Given your idea of what "interesting" is, I'd rather not put up anything interesting.

I can understand it being a waste of time. The single issue approach greatly limits options.

Which is quite saddening, and disgusting to be honest.

No shit. I'd rather blame the people who voted for such an asinine system. Many of them are likely the people who voted for such asinine candidates.

Voting by sound bite is rather common. I am ever amazed at how many people vote for things and don't even read what the thing will do.

I don't think you get to contradict what San Lumen hopes.
