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.

TBF, most of the votes in this special election were already counted before the assault. It's entirely possible that the election was decided by then. And this was a traditionally red district — it was always going to be a long shot.

Disgusted, but not surprisedI'm just tired of having to put up with the Right's bullshit, and having to hear people like fruitpork and Trash Jack despair and create constant fear every fucking day. I believe if the right-wing were to be destroyed, things would go back to how they were before 2016 and Trash Jack, bobwolf, fruitpork and the others would stop being pessimist and fearmongering forever.
OK, we get it now, but these may have their reasons why.
And maybe I could stop being The Pollyanna?
The only good fanboy, is a redeemed fanboy.Remember we use the scales to measure voter viability for a reason, such as the one to five scale. The fives are the people you never convince in a million years. The ones are the people who are already on your side. You focus on the people in the middle.
