NEWS --> Mark Robinson, the MAGA extremist GOP nominee for governor in North Carolina, appeared to endorse political violence against unnamed foes in a recent speech.

"Some folks need killing!" he shouted. "It's a matter of necessity!"

For the “fuck Biden he’s not protecting LGBTQ people” please note: Biden & the Democrats are trying to help protect LGBTQ people. GOP judges are blocking them. If you decide that being angry at Biden & the Dems & not voting for them is a rational response to this, you’re helping to hurt LGBTQ folks

I can't tell which posts about British elections are shitposts or not. Cressida Gunch is no longer conservative MP for Shitsworth-upon-Thames? Sounds legit to me

when i say “don’t eat up the elite hysteria that is, in large part, driven by a resentment that he doesn’t treat them like Trump and Obama did” this is quite literally what I mean

The only two permutations of this that work are: 1) Biden stays in 2) Biden steps aside for Harris but remains in office Everything other permutation of this idea is either a fantasy or propaganda whose discussion is designed to get the Dems to lose the election and usher Trump into power.

guys, i know things are getting bad but you cannot wake up everyday and talk/act like the world is already over because of a comically shitty presidential debate with two geriatrics. the bad guys have already won if you are living in fear/dread like that. im being painfully sincere lol.

Oh no! The five or six worst Americans who ever lived might write a note that says the results of the election aren't rea! We better play along and pretend they're right! Give me a fucking break.

I think if the "nation-dissolving chaos" in the previous doomer's reply actually happens (it won't) it will affect Oregon as well. Hope this helps.

It's not my problem if the supreme court tries to steal the election because it won't work and nothing will happen.

I think it's extremely stupid and unproductive to fantasize about mass civil unrest and you're deluding yourself if you think it'll actually happen.

I think if the Court tries to declare trump the president despite losing the election people will just ignore them. You can only pull a Bush v Gore once.

Trump's 3rd presidential campaign is even dumber and more incompetent than Hillary's in 2016 but it doesn't get much coverage because of 1) Trump's criminal trials and 2) the Coke vs Pepsi narrative falls apart when critical functions get outsourced to Charlie "Oops All Gums" Kirk

I don't want some egghead bureaucrat telling me whether there's poison in the water I drink. Ideally I'd want that decided by a 29yo judge who went to a "biblical law school" and does not believe dinosaurs existed, and then to have that decision reaffirmed six years later by the Supreme Court.

Maybe the mid-senior people are the ones who know what they're doing and that's why they're not at the top. My company is pretty small so "management" to me means "everyone Up There"

A good rule of thumb for New York elections is to always realize they pick the worst person they can find. Like if that astronaut who wore a diaper and tried to attack a woman ran in New York they’d be like wowza this lady is a realllll New Yorker
