2020 Election Thread 2: 41 DAYS OF TREASON

She could be the most active VP since Cheney.

Yeah biggest relief is just not having a soulless fucking sociopath holding the highest office in the land. Whatever you think about his actual policies. Dude likes dogs, Dairy Queen and fireworks.

Even Karl Rove on FOX isn’t really salty. He started with a couple of backhanded compliments, but overall mostly positive. Or at least non-negative.

Fireworks in my suburb now. Man we hate Trump here.

Geez the last 4 years were so horrible I was welling up at seeing a random black Harris relative smiling and dancing with a random white Biden relative as if it weren’t a totally normal thing.

Yikes these Times Square scenes. NYC numbers about to skyrocket. Can’t blame them though.

FOX anchor and Rove lamenting the following

  • Getting back into Paris agreement
  • Getitng back into WHO
  • Getting rid of Muslim ban
  • Reversing Trump on DACA

Right into my fucking veins.

I chatted briefly with a guy tonight while we were waiting to pickup food at a restaurant. He commented that the place was busy. He was wearing a Keith Richards shirt, so I felt safe in saying, “Everybody’s celebrating!”

He said, “Hell yeah, Cobb going blue!”

He also said that he only votes for Keith Richards, but assured me a minute later that he did vote for Biden.

EDIT: Oddly, it was my second conversation about Keith Richards today.

Just to let you know, as someone who was a republican for the majority of my life, people aren’t just necessarily going to accept the milquetoast middle. I understand the concerns you and others have.

I’m not confident at all that Biden is pardoning Trump. If some asshole and his cronies tried to frame my son for child porn I would absolutely fucking ruin them.

Its really bizarre to think about looking back on all this in 20 years. How did I survive 2020? Well grandchildren, there was a group of people on the internet that I never met in person but loved with all my heart. We called it Unstuck Politics.

Honestly didn’t expect these huge celebrations today else I probably would’ve headed to Times Square or Washington Sq Park.

We need to do a lot of anti-racist, deep canvassing in this country. Because if we keep losing white shares and just allowing Facebook to radicalize more and more elements of white voters and the white electorate, there’s no amount of people of color and young people that you can turn out to offset that.

But the problem is that right now, I think a lot of Dem strategy is to avoid actually working through this. Just trying to avoid poking the bear. That’s their argument with defunding police, right? To not agitate racial resentment. I don’t think that is sustainable.

I am pro-poking the bear. I don’t think we should be afraid of right-wing racist violence. On the contrary, I think we need to be confrontational and not be afraid to fight on this front. The people who want to “lower the temperature” are wrong. We should be raising the temperature to make racism as untenable as possible.

I offered to help every single swing district Democrat with their operation. And every single one of them, but five, refused my help. And all five of the vulnerable or swing district people that I helped secured victory or are on a path to secure victory.

I want her to name names. Can anyone figure out who she is talking about? We shouldn’t be going for ideological purity. Not everyone is made to be a leftist. But we need moderates and centrists who aren’t afraid of leftists. At some point progressives are going to have to face the fact they they need to compromise with non-progressives and figure out what those will be, but the bigger issue right now is those non-progressives recognizing that they have to be in the room with progressives to negotiate those compromises.

But I’m serious when I tell people the odds of me running for higher office and the odds of me just going off trying to start a homestead somewhere — they’re probably the same.

Yup, @beetlejuice, she reads UP.
