I'd have a lot more sympathy for rural America if they weren't deliberately fucking over urban America.

Amendment 71 that passed in my state might as well read "Fuck you Denver".

first: fuck, Toxi lives near me.

second: Amendment 71 requires constitutional amendments to get signatures from 2% of everyone in the state, not just a certain number from denver or boulder. It was previously able to fuck over all of rural colorado, now the playing field is even so that everyone in the state can have a say. Toxi is just mad that people live outside of the denver bubble who disagree with her.

I see the compulsory voting train has started up.  If you ever needed proof of the dim concept of freedom possessed by those who bark the loudest about how progressive and enlightened they are.

I am sometimes wondering if compulsory voting wouldn't be the best system, provided election day happens on a sunday or day off and that an explicit option for a blank vote is offered and tallied up (even if not factored in the percentages) as no one should be obligated to choose an option if they can't reconcile with any of the tickets. Punishment for not voting should only be a small fine.

Would held with the turnout and avoid some of the ambivalence around abstention (real political statement or just couldn't be arsed ?).

NeoGAF Finally Realizes They Are In An Echo Chamber

Here are some gems:

I was completely living in a bubble. I think this election has fundamentally changed the way I think. I've always prided myself on thinking critically (something my father, as a lawyer, has always emphasized to me) and its clear to see now that I wasn't thinking critically whatsoever when it comes to this election.

I am surrounded by people just like me, who are in the process of getting advanced degrees and who think this choice is just mind numbingly simple. I mean honestly, I think my entire class voted for Clinton. As in 100%. I just could not conceive her losing my state. much less losing it as significantly as she did. And because of that I didn't volunteer. I didn't try to connect to rural white voters, or canvas, or phonebank, or anything.


Quote
One of the problems with perception on here is how readily people were banned for voicing opinions that didn't fit in with the group think. I'm a big lefty but GAF seems to be populated with the worst kind of smug, all knowing, patronising identity politics.

There's a reality with too many people here that only has relevance in Sociology textbooks. They're prepared to fight a cause online for one group without even assessing the base concern of their opposition. They're preaching liberalism but shutting down debate.

Clinton was a terrible candidate. The way the Sanders supporters on here were treated was ludicrous. For the good of the progressive world, you lot need to pull your heads out of your arses and start listening to working class people.

Quote
I was strongly against Trump, yet I was still intimidated to post because of HillaryGAF. There was something really off-putting about seeing people...not bullied, but cleverly pushed away with several or a dozen, or more people going after a single person. It was really discouraging and sad, but when you see two mods with Hillary Clinton avatars, you kind of just shut up.

A really toxic atmosphere this forum created, with permission from the staff.. :/


Quote
Agreed. I think it's time for EviLore to put a political neutrality clause on mods. It felt really unfair, and a bit like assisted bullying sometimes.

Nah, some mod is going through and closing threads like that that are having some good introspection and discussion.

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

Seriously, I dare anyone to find me one post about anything down ticket. And no, I dont mean the senate, I mean state legislatures, referendums, mayoral races, etc etc

Literally no discussion or analysis.

It was "yass queen" +3/4 senators. Thats it.

They never cared about policy (which is from the local level up). All theyre cared about was their queen.

Whoever the mod is didn't even have the decency to give a reason for that thread closing. Like an actual interesting and for once candid thread gets closed. Maybe the mods are trying to wipe all evidence and disavow their part in the dogpiling mood on gaf for this election cycle.

BTW anyone who was around in 07/08 saw a vastly different poligaf. While praising Obama was big, there was also debate over policy, specifically during the Obama v Hillary days. There was discussion of down ballot measure, especially Prop 8 obviously but others to. Complete opposite than what poligaf has become. It's basically a rest haven for hoes now. A bunch of smug dudes extolling the virtues of their safe bubble.

So Gaf is truly that shallow, sigh.

Is not even that Trump rethoric is that popular but that the Social Progressive slacktivism mind set proved to be less accepted than they thought and people are calling out the forum as demographics and exit polls show that GAF is truly a curated ecochamber. Bish was passive agressive ib race stuff for years and forgived a lot of blatant racism but suddenly is a real problem, HillGaff were as viscious as Trump surrogates with their preliminary candidate but now they dont have the decency to admit their candidate was not as likeable as they thought, people were labeled as concern trolling for not overreacting to social stuff unrelated to the topic at hand and now they are asking to leave politics in politics.

Evilore appears to be like the rest of PoliGAF, a single issue voter:
It's reassuring to know that the official position of the United States on climate change will now involve a sudden and violent implosion of the silly, outmoded basis it had in science and evidence and real life, and instead we'll be moving on up with the bold new plan to call climate change a dumb hoax, pretend that the people attempting to convince us are all lying, and then proceed from there to burn as much black shit coming out of the ground as we possibly can as fast as we can before oil is no longer worth such an impressive amount of money, for reasons. But wait, why stop there, when we can also give up on any pretense of ethical responsibility or any indicator of legitimate governance whatsoever, and how about we become walking billboards of embarrassment that no longer deserve any of the clean air we still breath by going all-out and just repealing every regulation on pollution, shit, actually, any acknowledgement that pollution ever existed in the first place. That'd be so edgy, right? I mean, real or otherwise, no one has time to dick around with lofty sentiments about personal responsibility or environmental consequences, so how about decide that consequences, all consequences for our actions, no longer exist? Climate change is a hoax, and human beings don't generate pollution. Problems solved.

While our rich old white men play a dangerous game of pretend in-between cashing oil lobby checks, though, China is rapidly transitioning to clean energy solutions and will likely drop right back down below the US in overall emissions with ease, despite China's huge disadvantage in population size and the USA's several decade head-start on infrastructure and all of its considerable wealth and prosperity and its status as world technology leader and other totally inconsequential random trivia.

Regardless of what we decide to accept about the climate change crisis or not, we still find ourselves knee-deep in it on the world stage, since, it turns out, we just took on a leadership role that established confidence and good faith as every country in the world came together in an unprecedented global summit to avert the crisis under a common goal, everyone noting particularly how the fate of billions of lives, many entire species, all of nature's considerable beauty from corner to corner, all of it as we know it and as every generation of humanity leading up to the present also knew it is all in jeopardy. Right. Now. It's a matter of how much we can curb the tide, now, not whether we can avoid damage that has already locked itself into the upcoming timeline.

So, obviously, in response to the unavoidable reality of the crisis the whole world has just mobilized to face together, and as a responsibility to humanity by facing it as best we can, and after just having demonstrated our own willingness and intent and leadership in this worldwide coalition on climate change, and despite all the legally binding commitments we made as part of that entire process, we've now pledged to back out of the agreement, intend to illegally disavow those binding commitments right after having made them, fired the scientists telling us inconvenient truths about climate change, and replaced those annoying, ball-busting little pricks who keep trying to tell us what is and isn't real as if they own the place, with far more impressive and manly. big, tall, supremely confident and and heroically powerful, brilliant and uniformly perfect oil company executives straight from heaven on wings of radiant light to help us set policy on all the many nuances of just how awesome oil really is. Isn't oil great? Climate change is a hoax. Oil is life. Let's go set ablaze some beautiful, live-giving, pollution-free and climate chage-free fossil fuels, everyone! A politician's duty is to base scientific assertions not on preponderance of evidence and carefully established worldwide scientific consensus, but on off-the-cuff dishonest conspiracy theory diversion tactics made in reprehensible displays of self-serving convenience and corruption.So I've heard, at least.

Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure all of this means I'm now one of the bad guys and that people are going to be rooting for America to somehow self-destruct and die off so that we don't callously destroy the Earth in a spectacularly depressing celebration of willful ignorance, while the authoritarian, speech-suppressed, civil liberties bereft, humanitarian and ecological disaster called China are the new good guys.

Awesome. Thanks. Nothing beats waking up to realize we've been stripped overnight of our national identity as a respected, level-headed leader and role model on the world stage, now struggling to cope with our new career as as a formless, pulsating mass of concentrated, hysterically cackling cartoon evil. I feel so tremendously privileged to be here as we explore the vast depths of hopelessness and despair within this newly chosen dystopian hellscape. Hash tag fucking blessed.

As easy as it may feel to hate on Floridians for going red while it trends from Sunshine State toward Underwater State on the climate crisis front, keep in mind that the Florida EPA is banned from even saying the words "climate change" or "global warming" and cannot acknowledge its existence...ever. The state government is clamped down to the point of insanity on a message desperately promoting distortion of the facts so that politicians in office can continue acting against the best interests of Florida residents. Florida politicians are bought and paid for wholesale by entrenched dirty energy interests like the utility industry, who spend many millions of dollars every year ensuring that options like residential solar investment by homeowners remain totally impossible to get off the ground, even as Florida itself is perfectly suited for solar, just so that they can retain an unfair monopoly on power generation. ,We're talking unabashedly corrupt laws remaining on he books, like generating your own electricity being illegal. Floridians can't go clean energy even with have cash in-hand and a willingness to do so individually.

Situation there is a little more complex on this front than it may initially seem. Don't be too quick to revel in the prospects of widespread disaster engulfing the region, heh.

I almost bumped my Trump 2016 thread last night when he went over the top, quoting all the people on the first page either saying he wouldn't run or hoping he'd run.

But then I noticed, I originally made the thread on January 20, 2015.

It'll be way better to bump it, exactly two years to the date, on inauguration day. :patel

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...

I'm so angry right now. I'm stuck at the anger stage in Kubler-Ross. I haven't been this angry at racist white people since I read The Autobiography of Malcolm X in sixth grade and toyed with the idea of converting to Islam.
The argument for a separate nation for people of color has never been stronger.

They want the entire country to accept their prejudices so badly. They feel as if they were the ones being persecuted and discriminated against in the first place. Mother fuckers don't even know what that feels like and never will.

I just remembered Y2Kev dropped (I think) a few thousand on Hillary.

 Oh god

I lost $300.

Fortunately most of it was money I made betting on Trump in the primaries

Edit: Unless youre talking donations.

If so, LOL. They wasted that money on Chuck Schumer ads.

I love how people couldnt stop talking about Trump conning the base and taking them for a ride...

And Hillary robber liberals blind and got zero result. Zero.
:O

That's the dude who said that was some surprise bombshell already prepped to drop on Trump right before the election, which coined the horrible "oppo" meme on PoliGAF ?

This is the darkest timeline.

So I wouldnt be surprised if Hillary and her team of incompetents did have earth shaking oppo but decided to hold it in case Trump decided to not concede the election.

multiple GAFfers hit the donation limit to Hillary (for both the primary and general), they were trying to figure out what Senate races to donate to since they couldn't give anymore to Hillary

though they could have given to The Party up to $50,000

I'm down to just split the debt down the middle and blue states form the Commonwealth of the Unites States and the red states stay the United States of America.

I can't be asked to always pick up the pieces that these guys will inevitably shatter because they are incapable of helping themselves.

i know it may sound crazy, but what are the actual down sides to this? we are already divided as fuck, we might even get along bettee if we are separated.

I know you're kidding, but the gap between socioeconomic beliefs between red and blue America are just going to keep getting wider and wider

We can already see with that California letter that some blue states are planning on just locking themselves into their castles and waiting out the storm, pretending to continue on as normal while the world falls apart outside their borders.

It's starting to reach the breaking point. Big cities aren't going to tolerate not having fair representation in government for much longer.

I called it!

Hassan won by 700 votes. The Schumer money could have made it 800.

As a note, if I hear a white evangelical complain about a Starbucks cup or a store greeting this year, or otherwise complains of a "War on Christmas," I'm not sure I can be held responsible for my response.
