    Election 2020 Election 2020: It's (almost) over! (maybe...possibly...ahh who are we kidding, it's 2020!)

    That isn't how court works. It isn't some anime where you save your best attack for the last five minutes. Trump's lawyers had the opportunity to present evidence and they didn't have anything relevant. Powell is a grifter feeding on Trump supporters desperation for attention (and I am sure...

    It must be nice to go through life believing anybody who disagrees with you is a liar. Limiting, but very relaxing. And who exactly is crying? I just think it is funny that you immediately go into script to avoid actually thinking about opposing points of view. Believe it or not, I don't care...

    I'm not "crying" anything. I don't like racism, sexism, or fascism. Why should I? If you don't like people saying it, don't do it. You don't actually seem to know anything about what the left or liberals "preach". I wish liberals were opposed to hierarchy. They aren't, not even in theory. You...

    There is zero evidence of "the left" being behind the wildfires. Don't know who you think they've assassinated. The rioting was pretty dope though. Nice to know that we've got rational, well meaning people like you on the other side. Just peachy. I'm glad they don't do what their supporters...

    And CISA is one of several groups that endorsed the statement, Trump credited to Krebs enough to fire him, and Krebs didn't back off from it. Try what again? A 1% shift in the popular vote over 4 years doesn't matter very much. Hell, that much variation can be down to the weather. And how does...

    Yeah. And so are the Republicans. There are differences. The Republicans want to do a lot of things that are actively harmful with regards to civil rights, the environment, and the welfare of the poor, but fundamentally both parties are products of capital and coercion. It isn't good versus bad...

    A lot of "small business owners" significantly exceed the petite bourgeousie. When you've got dozens of employees, you've definitely outstripped the concept. Trump tried repeatedly to run things autocratically, making frequently unenforceable "executive orders" and not seeming to understand he...

    Spengler was a pseudohistorian with no understanding of the material drivers of history. He had an embarrassingly shallow understanding of world history. Like all fascist thinking, it is a bunch of stories to make people feel tingly and doesn't address the actual reality of the world. (Quick...

    That is a bunch of Spenglerian nonsense. Nations don't have wills, people do. Embracing fascism is a choice. It is a choice that hurts people. People who do that are doing something gravely wrong. Not all of antifa is communist. Some are, but it isn't like antifa is an army or a political...

    Yeah, but I didn't want to bring up the Minneapolis PD.

    Yeah, they do want fascism, no doubt. Frankly there has been a fascistic (or proto-fascistic) thread running through American political life since before the Civil War. I have a big problem with it, because it will likely mean death and horrible abuses for a lot of innocent people. That isn't...

    Forget "whining". Realistically, Trump isn't going to be president after Jan 2021. But if he somehow were to steal the presidency, it's going to make 1968 look like the Era of Good Feelings. I don't know if we'd actually wind up with a civil war, but a lot of terrible things would happen before...

    Yeah, that's basic fascism. People are angry, for good reasons and bad, and a guy comes along and feeds their worst impulses and directs their anger at vulnerable scapegoats while developing a parasocial relationship with them, encouraging them to identify their sense of self with him.

    That's rather my point. A lot of people were motivated to come out and vote against him. Unfortunately you are right, Trump still has a lot of supporters, because a lot of people either believe delusional nonsense like Qanon, make a profit off of Trump's policies, or like his brutalization of...

    I mean, if you consider that "picking them apart", sure. That's because it isn't true. I've never posted on SB. I just have no problem calling somebody who makes a ridiculous claim with no evidence a liar. I don't care if Kreb's name is on it, that is the statement his department released...

    I bet the secret cabal of Democratic election thieves must have been kicking themselves when they realized they accidentally voted for Republicans down ballot. Obama was a black dude running against John McCain. Biden is a white dude running against a uniquely incompetent and corrupt president...

    It isn't a both sides issue. Plenty of right wing source (Breitbart, OAN, Project Veritas) are thinly veiled propaganda outlets meant to sway low information viewers. The "mainstream media" on the other hand is beholden to profit, unwilling to say anything that will threaten their billionaire...

    I saw the bits about shell companies, I just didn't see anything substantial. And yes, it is a positive claim. No, I can't prove that an unspecified branch of "our forces" didn't raid an office that doesn't seem to exist, in an action no one made any record of. I don't think I have to in order...

    Come on, are you really linking Gnews as a source? But okay, I read it. So what? Nothing in it is significant. A company bought a competitor ten years ago. A different company relocated their offices. A guy worked for two companies in the same field. Just data points strung together with the...
