VOAT Containment Megathread of Trash People for Trash People

[Let's Cyber]

Can someone explain the benefits of compulsory voting for me?  It seems like it's only being brought up on GAF now because the youth voter turnout was low, and that would have swung Clinton. Basically they only want it because it could theoretically be a net gain to their candidate.

I guess I'm not understanding the overall benefit to forcing those politically ignorant to pick a choice, and that includes state elections. With the way money has infiltrated the US political process, it would (mostly) be about who raises the most money to get their name out there...which is pretty much how it is now anyway.  It'd also be a boon for other "celebrities" who decide to run in the future, like Trump, that already have the name recognition.

Does this confirm that many in PoliGaf were political shills? Or is just ItWasMeantToBe19 being a paranoid idiot?

That's basically about it. They think it would benefit Democrats.

It's the same reason they oppose Citizens United despite how much money it helped pour into Obama, Hillary and the DNC's coffers that they spent a year plus bragging about the fundraising gap over Trump/RNC.

In a secret ballot you can't force people to pick a choice, though I'm not familiar with the computer stations you have in some places in the US, you can always give a blank or invalid ballot (on paper at least bis). So nobody is forced to pick, really.

Main advantage is ensuring the largest turnout, which gives more legitimacy to a majority vote. It nullifies by definition voter suppression (It's mindboggling to me that it is so openly discussed about in the US as a strategy) and the need to interpret abstention numbers. May also help keep the voters engaged with their one core duty as citizens though it is debatable : IIRC Belgium had (has ?) it but as far as I could tell they were as apathetic as French voters. Probably not helped by the ridiculously layered levels of office they have.

OK so now Poligaf is worried that Shillaries will be doxxed, Anthony Weiner or Huma Abedin will kill themselves, setting up clandestine networks to exfiltrate Muslims out of the US and is freaking out about Bernie Sanders again.

They don't even discuss policy. They jerk off to Clinton and dem insiders.

They were turning on this one insider...Cesear something, because he had previously said all the things they wanted to hear...

It's laughable. I don't even understand why insiders want to hang around that forum, on the gaming side or OT.

Barely slept, barely ate anything today, called sick to work, but finally got myself up and went to the gym to run

I am feeling FURIOUS right now. Having some vicious and hateful thoughts towards those who oppress and who have enabled oppression, but I know these aren't productive without doing something to help marginalized people.

Thinking about the GOP platform from this year makes me seethe. Old fucking men who need to die off are set to revoke so many of the rights and progress that we've made under Obama.

Just so mad right now.

[benjipwns]

I don't think this is a given any more. We're seeing the collapse of global order. With climate change this is going to get worse.

So, this is terrifying, and actually one thing that scares me is the mass wave of immigration that's coming when the land people live on begins to flood.

Yeah, this is one thing I didn't consider.

There are probably other ways to curb those kind of tactics beyond mandatory voting though.  But yeah, thanks for the answers. I found it strange how quickly a bunch of posters jumped on the compulsory voting train.

One thing that is just so impressive that is the rural whites still voted for Trump even though he showed no empathy whatsoever towards the fact that their children were addicted to heroin.

I mean, they sold out their children's humanity (and maybe their own! Lots of rural white adults are addicted to heroin) just to vote for the moron. Just so impressive.

This country was never meant for people like us. This election is what makes me realize that fully in 2016.

Obama can order that [Trump] release [his tax returns].

I doubt he will though.

GAF's political experts! The President can order private citizens to release their tax returns to the media!

[benjipwns]

It's fun reading GAF's thread this year after I bathed in conservative tears in 2012.

In 2012, Republicans were like "fuck Obama is going to have total dictatorial power (other than the House), we need to fight him even harder AND TURN OUT IN 2014!! GET RID OF THE RINOS! EXPOSE HIS SCANDALS BENGHAZI HEARINGS! also we need to prepare for Hillary in 2016!"

In 2016, Democrats are basically like "the US is completely racist, there's no hope, we need a new Liberian movement, fuck Bernie Sanders and third parties for this, Hillary deserved it, I don't want to ever discuss politics again, fuck America, fuck anyone who says we'll survive, the world is literally going to end in the next couple years due to climate change, that's if we aren't already dead in the rape and internment camps for gays and minorities"

[VomKriege]

To be fair, Trump has said some outright cray cray shit in the campaign, like war crimes and unconstitutional methods. Maybe he's all talk and won't follow on any of that but it's not unreasonable to be a bit freaked out at potential legislation. In that respect the paranoia is a tad more justified than Obama or even W.Bush (which approved some horrible policies) declaring themselves God dictator king of the US.

[Vertigo]

Crossing Eden ladies and gentleman

I'm sure you and many of us have noticed the sudden shift in the last 24 hours, with many members of this website not only telling POC, LBGT, and women that we should tolerate and be accepting of the right, but pretending that not doing so means that we just wanna stick to an echochamber, are trying to take the moral high ground, are just as bad as the the alt right, and a whole bunch of other logic that anyone with even a semblance of logical  thought would see is absolutely ridiculous. The crux of the matter is this:

Why are you targeting this criticism towards minorities, lbgt, and women, why do you feel the need to tell them that they are the issue, not the xenophobia, sexism, and racism? That's it's all just a difference of political opinion, when all three are inherently moral issues that have nothing to do with politics whatsoever since they existed before modern politics. You really can't see how ridiculous that sounds? Who are you to tell people who you can't very clearly can't actually empathize with, how they should feel and act? You're honestly telling people that they should welcome backwards and outdated principles treat the people who'd give them no time of day whatsoever and would rather sling a racial slur, defend a rape, tell them they shouldn't exist or that there's something wrong with them, or kick them out of the country with productive discussion when news:WE'VE BEEN DOING THAT FOR LITERALLY DECADES!!
.

The influx of moderates telling us to tolerate sexism, xenophobia, and racism all day

Talk about deflecting. How are these knuckleheads still not getting it?

[Rusty Shackleford]

I think right now it's only illegal immigrants (removal of DACA) and poor folks (gutting of welfare & ACA) that should have definite fear.

We can only hope that the same folks that voted Trump into office will also make clear to their Congress reps that they shouldn't give him carte blanche. But who knows how much of his rhetoric was pandering and how much was legit threats? We just don't know yet.

One thing that tempers that is all the people who were ready to bail on Trump over stuff like the pussy tape are still in the Senate, and with the Democrats, they make up a majority.

I can't imagine that the guy they've been fighting with for two years they're going to roll over for like GAF and others seem to think. There's still value in opposing Trump, even in the GOP. It's just not as easy as it was or was looking like it'd be. You have to pick your battles.

And more importantly it's dumb to lose faith in our institutions so easily. The Republicans have controlled the Supreme Court since 1970, at times even 6-3 plus. It struck down laws against abortion, sodomy, gay marriage, all kinds of press/media/obscentity stuff, etc. Roberts had five votes, but he didn't strike down Obamacare when he could have easily done so. It's not perfect, it's favored the state/police certainly, and it's drawn boundaries where it shouldn't (both for and against progressive/liberal ideas) but it's arguably been the best branch by far, especially when you include lower federal courts. But part of that is most people don't realize that most rulings aren't 5-4 constantly. Even some of the more contentious ones. So it gives a warped view especially if people only look at the vote count, and not who and how and why they voted to rule the way they did.

I just keep getting seized by fits of rage imagining how things will go with my classmates. They're the most politically disengaged guys I've ever met, a bunch of lean Rs and "both sides" bullshit. There's all of 2 minorities in the class, and that's counting me, so call it 1.5. 2 women. I'm the person there who's politically vocal, so I just know they're going to try a "oh man sorry your candidate lost" stuff, and then I just have to ask them how they voted and... if they voted Trump or didn't vote, I have no idea what I'm going to do. I just get so fucking ANGRY even imagining it.

Obama's first words post-election are: we're all the same people, there are no republicans and democrats, respect the institutions and rule of law.

This is the liberal hero. Trumpism ain't that bad guys chill out.

You're right, the president should foment unrest to undermine the results of a democratic election

When the results are a fascist insurgency you're fucking 100% right we should undermine the results and subvert every institution that created this. If your immediate reaction to this is respect U.S. institutions you're lost as hell.

 Of course. (If you're even talking to me)

 I was directing it to Sander's message just acknowledging how he edged the vote and said he would help make sure xenophobic, racist etc. policies wouldn't come to fruition.

I was responding to benjipwns, to be clear. GAFfers (and leftists) are prone to imagine the absolute worst at the moment, as it is now customary for the losing side at each election. While it may be the same reflex as every recent past election, I'll cut some slack on this because Trump himself is not business as usual and advocated stuff that shouldn't even be on the table and given how he has swayed the GOP it's not yet clear if the Legislative branch will not go along with a couple of those.

And more importantly it's dumb to lose faith in our institutions so easily.

Yeah, I agree with that. I believe and hope the US institutions are robust enough to not fall apart at the first mandate of a doofus.

The problem is that GAF is the place where a user will tell you that being republican is evil with a straight face. "Pick your battles" is a alien concept to most gaffers as a "us vs them" mentality is encouraded in, well, anything even outside politics.

[benjipwns]

The electoral college is not democracy, this system is going to take away voting rights from black people, kick out immigrants looking for a better life, prevent abortion, etc. you guys all know the long list because liberals kept talking about how bad a right wing power structure would be for the country.

Now that it's here you guys want to say respect the process. Hopefully young people don't heed Obama's words of being nice to their oppressors and the dem party starts wising up.

You are basically crazy if you're calling for a coup or secession to avoid fascism.

Do you not think fascism is bad?

On the other hand, what if this is the last thing democrats agree to do to protect constitutional norms in the foolish hope that Republicans will follow suit?

oh god i didn't realize the guy calling for a violent revolution led by obama was angry fork because of avatar change

I'm actually personally inclined to believe Trump is more moderate than he portrayed himself and is a conman rather than an ideologue.

But what he represents, what Pence is, and most of the right wing politicians in the house/senate, is a very serious and real form of fascism/american taliban shit. Trump may not want to go as far as they want him to if you believe him to be a closet moderate but I don't see how he would be able to say no.

 Now, I'm not saying you need to put up with some of racism and sexism from people who voted Trump, but labeling them all racists and sexists does nothing and is a losing strategy. You don't need to put up with their bullshit to understand the need to address the economic distress in the Rust Belt.

I'm not asking anyone to coddle them.

Yes you are. You're asking to not call them homophobes for supporting a homophobe. That is coddling.

IT DOESN'T FUCKING MATTER HOW TOLERANT TRUMP VOTERS WERE

they voted for a candidate that is not, they voted for an administration that is going to strip rights away from citizens, discriminate against citizens and fuck up climate change for everyone

I don't care if a Trump voter never called me a taco, they voted for one of the most hateful platforms against gay people I've ever lived through and I'm not going to give them slack for that.


Because of their actions they're going to make my life immeasurably worse

In this thread we have white moderates blaming minorities for Trump's rise because minorities don't like being disenfranchised.

You people are sick.

we have to show unity and let racist people call us distinguished black fellow and chink and towelhead while we just sit back and take it to show how "civilised" we are, if we retaliate in any way we instantly "prove" any stereotypes they may have held about us

Thats all the civil rights movement was. Look to the past to get the answers for the future.

WORLD ENDS, NEOGAF HARDEST HIT

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1311390

To re-iterate: All Trump Supporters Are RACIST, HOMOPHOBIC, ISLAMOPHOBIC, BIGOTED cunts.

EVERY. LAST. ONE.

And before anyone quotes bu-b-bub- stfu and accept that if you are a Trump supporter than everything I said is true on some level. You may not be screaming "fuck the N' or the fegs" but you are equally guilty of spreading this vile poison.

Your bigotry is what lost Hillary the election.

If there weren't easily pliable bigots like you who unreasonably blame minorities for all the country's issues, a bigot like Trump wouldn't be president.

My gf and I had a serious conversation about how it would be unfair for us to have kids anytime soon.

Voting for trump automatically makes you a bigot supporter, is that as bad as a full fledged bigot? In my eyes, yes.

"SJW" was the internet taking a relative handful of stupid fucking tumblr and twitter accounts along with often exaggerated or dishonest stories of college incidents, and promoting the probably brilliant propaganda narrative that they represented THE NEW PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENT, GONE MAD.

The Alt-Right has done an excellent job of getting people to equate the concept of understanding the fundamental humanity of other people with being a pansy-wansy "justice warrior" that just whines about made-up problems that aren't real.

This mindjob is in the process of making the leap to mainstream politics and real life, dovetailing flawlessly with the normalization of acting like an aggressive, foul-mouthed asshole, passing it off as being "real", "telling it like it is" and "defending the first amendment".

Easy as hell to say this on a message board.

Give it a shot in the real world. No one cares that you're Lime from NeoGAF once you step outside of your front door. Put up or shut up.

This feels like a nightmare... I enlisted and swore to protect my country. I never imagined as Americans we would turn against each other. Not like this. My Airmen are stressed out; in pain. One is terrified of losing her marriage to her wife.

I sincerely wish I could do more than just vote, donate, and console in my current status. For all of the brave people protesting... please keep fighting and let your voices be heard.

Holy shit, the amount of people defending the "good Trump" supporters.

Guys, it's not like it was a fucking secret that Trump was a terrible candidate. He wasn't subtle like GOP candidates in the past, he was pretty brazen with it and over 50 million people saw it and voted for him anyways. They are racists. Simple as that.

What do you call someone who willingly votes for a man who got into a PR battle with a family of a dead Muslim soldier because he was Muslim? What do you call someone who heard Trump say "They're [Mexicans] rapists and murderers" and was like "That's okay, I'm gonna vote for him anyways."

The correct answer here is racist. There's no fucking gray area here. It's like you guys seem to think that if you vote for a guy who holds views that are directly at odds with the mere existence of certain groups of people, we have to respect your views and chalk it up to a difference of opinion. Do you want a fucking medal because you've never called a black person a "distinguished black fellow" in your life? Here you go. Thank you for voting for Trump because he was gonna lower your taxes instead of supporting him because he wants to deport millions of Hispanics. That's gonna be real comforting to a lot of Hispanics tomorrow to know that.

I'm doing my job by sharing some of these photos on Facebook. I implore you all to do the same.

Been looking up vasectomies stuff today. My gf started sobbing when she read that a friend is considered getting their tubes tied on the chance that if she might get raped she doesn't want to risk being forced to deliver.

They are. They are all responsible for this shitshow. You included. Own that shit, you're responsible for it.


The day you decided to vote for the white supremacist, KKK endorsed, minority hater, that wants to deport and murder families and violate the constitution at every turn, it's the day you won't ever be able to take back the responsabilty. You don't get to say it has nothing to do with you.

The RESISTANCE is forming in the protest thread I guess:

I hope this Resistance coalesces into something bigger and lasting. Maybe a new far-left political party.

I'm with this.

No unity with Trump. Ever.

Good. No unity.

Put fear into the hearts of the GOP. Make their leaders realize they can't go down that path without huge backlash and physical struggle from much of the population.

Civil war 2 looming sort of thing.

Honestly though... fuck it, I hope people protest against Trump (and Pence) every day and night until he's out of office.

If they win on an anti-constitutional platform, who really is threatening democracy?

Democracy needs to defend itself against these attacks.

hope this goes on for weeks. Didn't know there where some going on in San Diego or I would have gone. I'm about to check and see if it's still going down and I'm out.

Let the resistance be heard. Hopefully this leads to an actual liberal party forming.

I'm tired of this soft bullshit. There should be no unity, especially for a hate mongering white nationalist. I'm not conceding my race to make you comfortable. We can make sure this never happens again, during the midterms.

Nothing at all. The alt-right is just invading GAF.

Yeah the mods are gonna have an interesting time sorting out the new ban rules. Right now its political talk and emotions are high, but hate speech will soon be more accepted. Recruitment going into overdrive at the KKK im sure.

Fucking Trump, man. It's not enough that he had to steal Amurica, but he's taking over GAF as well.

Obama got stabbed in the back as his coalition didn't show up for Hillary.

My sources tell me BCT is not taking this well and there are whispers of defecting to a new forum.

Bernie wanted to treat race issues like it was the 1950s.

I'm REALLY not down with this revisionist history that Bernie wasn't a shitty candidate in his own right, surrounded by EVEN SHITTIER people, who got trounced by both Hillary AND Trump.

fighting about which 70 year olds were most progressive on issues that didn't matter in the end

The "Bernie was the savior" hindsight going around is getting ridiculous. Sure, "he had the message" if you want to ignore the FACT that democratic minority voters disagreed. The argument is basically Bernie had the argument for rust belt whites and minorities should have gotten in line, that's fucking ridiculous

All these OT threads are so full of the soft racism "oh don't worry them mindless coloreds will just get on board! Choo choo feel the Bern *airhorn* WHAT DO THEY HAVE TO LOSE!?" shit that turned a lot of black folk off to Bernie in the first place.
