I saw a similar story about a voter named Big Papi.

Finally caught up with the 1100 posts, making my first post for the night ITT.
It’s almost 11 pm here in Euroland and I just made the first of probably many white russians. Hopefully I’ll be nice and drunk when the real results start coming in in the middle of the night 
Feeling better about the election now than I have in the last couple weeks, we’ll see if that holds!

Great to hear from you.
That actually surprises me. Either things have changed a lot on that forum in the last couple of years, or else they let a lot more go in politics (which I’ve never read) than in the sports subs. For example, even something like calling a player a bitch in a game thread will get your ass chewed out now immediately.

Hot Take: This is because they think racism / sexism / etc. are all about words. So if you stop calling someone a bitch you can ipso facto no longer be sexist. It’s like by making people say only nice things to each other we can have a civil society even if kids are locked in cages.
Edit: To be clear - words matter. But so does a bunch of other shit. They don’t want to care about the other shit.

Same avatar, same person. I needed a break from this place a few months back, have been lurking the whole time but got back into posting a bit this week. We’ll see if I keep it up post election

I can’t just follow online tonight. Who’s the best to watch? That Kornacki guy always struck me as pretty solid. King on CNN is good on the map but the rest of the production can be annoying.
I don’t know how people can be undecided after having so much exposure to these people. This isn’t like the old days when there was a half hour of news on at night that mostly covered local affairs. These pricks are on 24/7 for years.
Anyway, I’m watching Chapo’s Twitch stream starting 7 PM EST.
Terrific immune system on children. Get the children back to work. Have to get the children back to work. Small hands, very quick. Back to work.

I think the fact is even with social media and the 24 hour cable news cycle, a lot of people still don’t have much exposure to this stuff.
Hey! Glad your alive, and hopefully well, at least by 2020 standards.

Basically
I get what you’re saying, but there have been some pretty amazing discussions over there recently and there are a ton of good people with good heartfelt intentions.

That’s a corollary to the harder you mash the key the harder the shot/punch/kick that your avatar delivers to your own screen opponent. Many a keyboard and joystick has been sacrificed to this principle.

I can’t be at a tv until probably 9 pm tonight so I’m counting UP to keep me updated. Don’t let me down!
