2020 US General Election Thread VIII: Cs, Ds, and Es

[Dresderstan]

Literally any major U.S. city like Philly, L.A. Detroit, Chicago, Portland, Seattle.

I heard nothing about that. Prove it. You also think a pandemic means all rights should be signed away indefinitely and all movement completely restricted and monitored by the government.

Good thing I'm going to bed so I don't have to continue arguing, but your denial of what's been in front of your eyes for months now following George Floyd's death is the final nail in the coffin to convince me you're basically a Republican

There is a difference between a riot and a peaceful protest

Not to the police there isn't.

Here's another example.

Despite the fact it was a protest that devolved into a riot because the police arrived.

There is a difference between a riot and a peaceful protest

One's a riot, meaning police have already tried breaking up the protest with tear gas and brutality and people started to defend themselves from the police

One's not a riot yet, meaning police haven't started to break up the protest with tear gas and brutality yet, and people haven't had to defend themselves from the police yet

Then perhaps police should stop being such assholes and call out their fellow officers.

[The Black Forrest]

Yes sir Agent Smith am I supposed to take the blue pill?

It would be better for all of us if you shut up and went somewhere else.

Blue pill it is!

*swallows*

What was I talking about? Oh yea trump...I forgot my train of thought.

Why would police forces want to hire people who might be insubordinate?

[South Odreria 2]

Except they fucking were.

Where?

Bro what

Are you sure you’re not a republican?

[Saint Sche Batose]

Where?

Seattle wasn't broken up. Seattle is still recovering and trying to get their city back to where it was.

A pandemic is as good a pretext as any.

Trump told Inslee and the mayor of Seattle to grow some hair on their chest and fix their city or he would do it for them.

It's barely a pandemic. More people have died of the flu, tuberculosis, the Black Death, shall I go on?

Dude, pandemic response measures haven’t ushered in a totalitarian dystopia where you have no rights and are completely under government subservience, you’re being way beyond hyperbolic right now.

Thank you. Couldn't have put it better myself.

You are raising the bar to an absurdly high degree.

Not only that, but 18 million had died before Covid killed one hundred thousand people.

COVID-19 is very much a global pandemic, by definition.

[Shrillland]

All right, polls closed in New Hampshire and Rhode Island about 30 minutes ago, and here are some calls:

Dem NH-Senate: Jeanne Shaheen
GOP NH-Governor: Chris Sununu
Dem NH-2(Concord): Ann McLane Kuster
GOP RI-2(Providence-Warwick): Robert Lancia
Dem RI-2(Providence-Warwick): James Langevin

Didn't say I was talking about definitions, was I now?

The "good" cops who do call out their fellow officers tend to get fired.
