I am not glad that Biden won, because I am a conservative, but I do know the feeling when the person you don't want to win, doesn't win (previous election for me personally). So I hope you smile and enjoy and be happy and CONGRATS!!! I am totally sincere about this. And now you are possibly primed for the next 4-12 years. I have no idea what the Rs are going to do in the next primary election, but I hope they don't waste it. I don't care at the moment, it's not even my point. But my point is - enjjoy, smile, laugh and congrats! Thanks, but it's not about just winning and losing--this is politics and governance, not a sporting event. Instead of pointing and laughing (like what the Trump voters have done the past 4+ years) the sane, rational people left in the GOP need to clean house and get rid of the infestation that Trump and his supporters have caused. I don't have a problem with a Republican governance that follows laws and knows when it's time to stop playing partisan politics and to get everyone on board to tackle a common enemy (e.g. a f***** pandemic). I have a problem when a party plays politics with and kowtows to the crazy, vocal base that is eschewing common sense and rational thought so they can live in a reality of their choosing. Unfortunately, those sane, rational Republicans are either A-voting with the Democrats now (see Lincoln Project), or B-left holding the bag while they watch the GOP become a circus tent full of derp. 6 1 Link to comment

If I was a Republican Trump supporter I'd be offended that Cornyn thought I was this dumb! @Notre Dame Joe, John Cornyn thinks you're an idiot! 1 Link to comment

Maybe they can get 2 rolls of paper towels in the second term. 3 Link to comment

So Biden's lead remains unchanged in PA, and this win is the legal equivalent of a combination wet fart/fail trombone. 3 Link to comment

Unfortunately, those sane, rational Republicans are either A-voting with the Democrats now (see Lincoln Project), or B-left holding the bag while they watch the GOP become a circus tent full of derp. And here’s an analysis piece from the Washington Post that details the shift in the GOP from being pro-Democracy to pro-Authoritarian: https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2020/11/12/republican-party-trump-authoritarian-data/ What is troubling (other than the trends of the GOP primarily appealing to uneducated whites and very little else) is how their fevered grip on Capitalism requires them to eschew reality and construct their own to justify their position. It’s as if we’re in late-stage Capitalism... 1 1 Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 This guy has totally lost his marbles. He can't even keep the same thought process through one tweet. I also absolutely love it that Twitter is putting that tag line on every one of his tweets. 1 Link to comment
commando Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 i think the news needs to stop talking about trump and what he is saying or doing. a simple "president baby is still crying about the election" and leave it at that. then go on to talk about Corona or the biden transition to power or whatever else is in the news that day. 2 Link to comment

How passionate do we get about the elections in other countries? Typically not much. It proves 1. How influential America is to these other nations and 2. How sh%$ty of a president we had when 'outsiders' are celebrating his defeat. 2 Link to comment
knapplc Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Biden has won Georgia, despite the closure of all the polling places in Democrat strongholds. Suck it, losers. 1 3 Link to comment
