OT: American Politics

[Habsy]

She's never really cared about the little people....just vehicles for her ascent to power.

Amen

 

[MindzEye]

Elisabeth Warren >> Sanders

Xavier Becerra and Tim Kaine are good prospects

Yeah, I dig Warren.

 

[CH1]

the dems can't overcome the gerrymandered house. they weren't able to overcome an extreme conservative scotus. and now it gets worse.

you're making sense but people don't vote like that...otherwise Trump would have conceded hours ago. you must acknowledge the potential for surprise in your analysis

 

[Habsy]

the race has not been called.

likely won't be until morning.

They're playing with fire here. If she miraculously catches up in some states there will be a wicked backlash.

 

[zeke]

In fairness, is Trump really the guide here? I can't think of many scenarios in life where doing what Trump would do is the appropriate course of action.

i'm trying to remember someone conceding before the race is called.

 

[Habsy]

Yeah, I dig Warren.

Why? She's annoying.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

the race has not been called.

likely won't be until morning.

If she was running against Romney i bet she speaks and concedes in this spot.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

Why? She's annoying.

you seem to hate everyone sir.

 

[CH1]

They're playing with fire here. If she miraculously catches up in some states there will be a wicked backlash.

gotta count the votes that were cast

 

[axlsalinger]

the election isn't called yet. trump wouldn't be conceding at this point.

Yeah, I don't blame her. They had to be pretty damn confident they would win, and the election dragged on well into the night. It's gotta be the most crushing blow imaginable. Not sure how you can go on live TV and keep it together the same night after everyone was reporting your likelihood of winning the election was 80% at 9:00pm.

 

[Habsy]

you seem to hate everyone sir.

Leftist progressive annoying people? You bet.

 

[axlsalinger]

This is a punk move by the Dems. They're losing any moral high ground. She stumped on Trump not accepting the results yet here she is doing it herself.

I knew the nutters would trot this out immediately. Didn't think I'd hear it from you, though.

 

[Habsy]

I knew the nutters would trot this out immediately. Didn't think I'd hear it from you, though.

Why not? Several news outlets called it already. She droned on and on about Trump doing it. It's fair game.

 

[CH1]

Market made a pretty big comeback -- still down 3.4% but recovered a third of it's earlier losses.

 

[axlsalinger]

It's also 2 in the morning.

 

[Habsy]

It's also 2 in the morning.

So?

 

[MindzEye]

i'm trying to remember someone conceding before the race is called.

Then say that, and not the Trump thing you said. One point has a lot of merit, the other included a reference to Trump's sense of decency.

 

[axlsalinger]

So?

The election was not decided early. It can wait till the morning.

 

[statz]

Trying to convince myself that after making it through the W years, we can also get through this.

We just have to deal with another 9/11, illegal war, Hurricane Katrina, torture as official U.S. policy, and collapse of the global economy first.

Though there's also the fact that while W did not have a lot of competence or integrity, he still had about a million times more than this guy has.

My husband is trying to convince me of this too. He's not getting very far.

 

[Habsy]

If this was reversed and Trump did this? All of you and the press would be all over it. Double-standards abound to the end.
