There may be other, more specific, threads about some aspects of US politics, but this one tends to act as a hub for all sorts of related news and information, so it's usually one of the busiest OTC threads.

Rumor-based, fear-mongering and/or inflammatory statements that damage the quality of the thread will be thumped. Off-topic posts will also be thumped. Repeat offenders may be suspended.
If time spent moderating this thread remains a distraction from moderation of the wiki itself, the thread will need to be locked. We want to avoid that, so please follow the forum rules
when posting here.
In line with the general forum rules, 'gravedancing' is prohibited here. If you're celebrating someone's death or hoping that they die, your post will get thumped. This rule applies regardless of what the person you're discussing has said or done.

"Say what you will about Tarantino but we need stories like Django where the KKK and slavers are treated as the Always Chaotic Evil psychopaths they are."
No only that but as buffon, that part about their bag in their head dosent let them to see is hilarious.
But in general, since the KKK dosent go for the "right"(read:white) population, people just really got a bad feeling and leave.

@Mr Hellboy: as in he'll splinter the Democratic vote, right? Fair enough.
Oh, neat. Then I look forward to moving on from arguing with Republicans about whether Mueller's investigation is a "WITCH HUNT" to arguing with them about whether Mueller's "WITCH HUNT BIASED FAKE NEWS DOCUMENT" has any credibility.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer told reporters on Tuesday that he had asked Abrams to deliver the rebuttal three weeks ago. Party officials familiar with the plans say that Abrams will make the address Tuesday night from her hometown of Atlanta.
"She is just a great spokesperson. She's an incredible leader. She has led the charge for voting rights which is at the root of just about everything else," Schumer said.

Stacey Abrams was able to generate a lot of excitement in Georgia. Everyone was talking about her, no one was talking about Kemp. While I don't agree with her, she's someone who I think genuinely believes she is doing the right things for Georgia and America. I'm glad that she's getting more publicity.

Stacey didn't lose the race.
It was stolen.
I mean that without hyperbole. It was criminal activity that cost her the position and Kemp should be in jail. The election is completely invalid and carries mandate for rule.

It's the same problem here in Brazil: if you only care to know what history classes teach, then social issues don't exist, racism and misogyny are stuff of the past, and so on.
It really is no wonder then, that when someone complains about any social issue, someone else will always claim they are "whining".
