The General US Politics Thread

Go To

Nov 2023 Mod notice:


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.

If you're new to OTC, it's worth reading the Introduction to On-Topic Conversations and the On-Topic Conversations debate guidelines before posting here.

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.

I find it amusing that we only note Akin for that one comment.

Yeah, what bloodhounds there are in politics... scary thing.

@Cats

Wow. But UK doesn't even elect a national executive...

[up]What do you mean? A slim Obama victory was expected. The states pretty much went as forecasted.

NBC has called for Obama. Fox, Huff Post, CNN just predicted Ohio.

I approve.

If I had the Final Victory theme from Contra 4 right now, I'd be playing it, knowing that Obama just won! Thank God if that's correct. I'll celebrate later - I've got a lot of schoolwork to catch up on at this point...
