US Midterm Elections Megathread III: Hitting The Wall

[Post War America]

Oh hey, a tiny insignificant minority that existed before trump and will exist after trump because this is a free nation and people have the right to be wrong.

Also weren't they chanting "You will not replace us!" not "Jews will not replace us!"?

There are videos of them chanting both slogans, but one can reasonably infer that the "you" in "you will not replace us" was surrounded by three sets of parentheses.

[Tarsonis]

Yes, they were still going for that Great Replacement white nationalist thing, though. So ungood either way.

True but one is just antisemitism, the other is broader white nationalism, and we should be clear and correct when talking about these people, if nothing more than so they don't have any wiggle room.

Maybe, but I'd actually think it's far more than just the Jews. The WN view all of the progressive movement as an anti-white phenomenon geared toward eliminating white people.

They said "Jews". Besides, who else are they worried about being replaced by? Nothing about a meteor shower around that time.

Well there is a narrative about the Anti-white bent of the progressive desiring to remove white people from society. The left has made a habit of demonizing, particularly white males in the last 6 years or so, so the argument is that white people are being replaced with non-whites presumably.

I'll have to concede though that some were indeed chanting about the Jews,....though given population numbers I don't know how they expect the Jews are going to replace white people...

[The Emerald Legion]

Still relevant if this attitude is still in effect.

It's just how things are now. Reps see Dems as traitorous scum who are stupid SJW dumdums (as illustrated by TEL's posts) and Dems see Reps as racist stupid dumdums.

I don't see Dems as Traitorous scum. I do think that many of their stances are ridiculous and I dislike the artificial culture they're building. But if I thought they were actively traitors rather than just wrong, I'd not be bothering to argue with them.

It was a lot of polo shirts, they could be Target employees worrying they'll be replaced by Kmart.

Damn that actually would have been a damn funny parody video..

Did you just try to legitimize 'anti-racist is anti-white'?

Keep in mind that these are the sorts of people who believe that Jews are secretly in control of the world.

No.

Do tell.

Giving Maxine Waters, who is already a republican meme, the ability to investigate anything is shooting themselves in the foot.

How? If Waters is, as you say, "a republican meme", it would seem to me that they have nothing to lose.

Remarkable how Democrats doing anything other than rolling over and giving Trump and the GOP everything they want for the next two years is totally shooting themselves in the foot.

They could pick any random ass democrat from any district, and within a week the conservative smear machine would be in overdrive screaming about how so and so is the most radical leftist communist terrorist-loving america hater who ever lived, and all the halfwit red-hat GOP cultists would be repeating it as gospel.

I'm reminded of something I saw on Twitter earlier. The Tweets were about debating the alt-right, but the general point was "Why should we take advice from our opponents about how to beat them?" The very high IQ pop culture reference supporting this point was Scary Terry from Rick And Morty. Guy kept saying "You can run, but you can't hide, bitch", and in the end, Rick And Morty beat him by hiding.

"Yeah, well why are we taking this guy's advice on anything?"

"You got a really good point there Rick. Like, if the truth was that we could hide? It's not like he'd be sharing that information with us."

Why would Democrats take advice from Republican supporters?

Invasion of the Body Snatchers style. Jews are grown in vegetable pods that sprout next to sleeping whites.

Nah I look forward to her crack down on banks and trump

Bullshit. I've seen the videos, it isn't ambiguous in the least.

[Corrian]

What's the funnest is our "leaders", Senate Minority and Majority, and House minority and Majority leaders, are all leagues more unpopular than Trump. We make the best leadership picks.

Only because they're not crassholes who blow on dogwhistles loud enough to constitute animal cruelty.

They call it the Great Replacement. The idea is that non-white migrants from the Middle East, North Africa, or Mexico have higher birthrates than white Europeans and Americans, and those migrants are being imported into the West for the specific purpose of "out-breeding" white people. And if you've guessed that this is supposedly all being orchestrated by the Jews, then award yourself a gold star. Makes sure it doesn't have six points, though.

They're all dressed like that on purpose, you know. This is their idea of looking like respectable, upstanding citizens, rather than 1488-tatooed skinheads or fedora-tipping neckbeards.

So, because its in the news:


Just because the election was on Tuesday does not mean that absentee or provisional ballots are, or can be, counted. Absentee ballots cannot even be processed until Election day and provisional ballots need to be verified before they are counted. This is all done by hand before they can even be added to the vote count, and takes considerable time to do so as they are not immefiately processed. Votes aren't necessarily being "found" for the most part, they are being processed as they cannot, by law, even be begun to be processed before Election day.


The argument being posed would make sense if we were a week or a month out from election day. We are two days out, and it takes time to actually process these types of ballots as election laws treat them somewhat differently than regular ballots.

I also find it somewhat spurious to claim that it shouldn't take this long to count votes when it is Republican based policies in some instamces that require this, particularly for provisional ballots. Creating a system thag requires more work and time for ballots, amd then bitching that it is taking too long to process is the height of ridiculousness. Amd two days is not that long when you have to process potentially thousands of ballots by hand.

Yeah I already conceded that point.... read the whole thread next time.

If it was true, I don't know if I'd be alarmed or impressed...

Welp, Florida has once again combined incompetency of electoral officials with razor thin win margins to make another mess.
