I forgot about that - jeez, today that would make mccain a socialist.
But between the indoctrination of the education system and the PR of Hollywood it’s done a very good job.

Republicans were already calling McCain too liberal in 2008, and by 2012 he was pretty broadly despised by them.
And their 2012 guy was despised by 2016.
And their 2016 guy is now despised by a lot of Qanon.

I think that’s plausible. There already were mobs in front of the counting stations in AZ demanding the count to stop despite Trump being behind. If Trump had been ahead and AZ called early for him instead, that situation might not have played out as peacefully. This might also have ended differently if the election were closer and it all came down to AZ.
He’s making a prediction. His analysis of the maximization of utility is to move.

I wouldn’t say there’s no coming back from this, but I would say we are in “house divided” territory and one side or the other needs a clear victory to resolve this. And of course Dems need to be more ruthless.
I don’t think anything has changed and I’ve always felt America was like this my entire life.
How about getting rid of the guns?

Seems very results oriented thinking to me.
I have no information or evidence to support they made the wrong call at the time.
So I am going to stick by this dude.
My favorite meme on TikTok right now are people dressing like this guy, then acting out a “Stan” inspired letter writing to Trump.

Results oriented? You have that backwards. Just because the call was correct doesn’t mean it wasn’t made too early.
One thing that is important to remember is that the people in this thread who think the call was made too early think so for very different reasons than the MAGAts who are mad at Fox do.

The problem with leaving is where. The US is not the only racist xenophobic country flirting with far right leaders.
- Me too
Quite the week
- Got the senior discount today getting takeout. I don’t ask for it.
- AARP mailer
- My wife saw something about the 39-54 demo and said “that’s us” and then corrected it to “just me” meaning her.
And now the effin republicans are all trekking down to Maralogo to kiss the ring. Wtf. Letitia James or the Reaper need to get busy.

C’mon, this bad? You’ve got one side that started to spread the big lie of voter fraud. Then their constituents stormed the capital and coming within inches of overthrowing democracy. Then the one side says, “All we’re trying to do is make sure our constituents; concerns are heard”.
Ha! You’re trying to drag me into another gangbang flame fest again. I think my point in the gun thread has never been more overwhelmingly made. How many people stormed the capital? However many you think it was, it was most certainly less. Anyone who still feels that “your little gun won’t do shit against the establishment” needs to seriously rethink that. We just witnessed a ridiculously small segment of the population throw the entire establishment into chaos. Don’t tell me a well armed citizenry can’t effect change. Those people are just too stupid to know where their ire should be directed
White people have always been fine with racism. It’s just that enough of them are turned off by overt racism and the racism has gotten more overt. The white nationalists didn’t storm the Capitol before because they didn’t feel the need to before. They acted the same way they did when threatened with desegregation.
The myth of America is an outlandish lie that gullible people believe. We’ve never been the paragon of democracy that our civil religion claims we are. We’ve just reached the stage where some smart white people can no longer ignore the contradictions and have to find a solution to their cognitive dissonance. Unfortunately, some of them have chosen to side with the racists to solve that problem.
