No one had any problem with what Pence said yesterday (well other than not slapping Trump), because it was normal political speak. Like Tony points out there is a difference between what he or Biden said and Trump saying "why are these mail in ballots so extreme in their wanton destruction and journey away from the light of goodness?" or that the democrats are stealing this election and that none of these votes in the states he's winning should be counted anymore.

One guy said I won, anything that makes me lose is fraud

Other guy says: I think I won, this is why

Wang: These are the same.

on the sense that they're both saying "I won"?
uh, yeah. they are.
the messaging is different, the conclusion is the same.

Neither option was the answer tbh. There needs to be a more elaborate middle ground to make it work.
I definitely would have preferred just repealing AB5 which is bad and has been having a string of industries excepted from it recently (because it was targeted at Uber/Lyft but the bill author couldnt single them out and had to fuck over other industries too), but this was the only solution left available that wasnt going to at least for the short term wreck app based work in CA.

that one's the Detroit one, i think.
personally don't see it as bad as the attempts to stop PA because 1) literally detroit, pretty safe bet it's biden majority, and 2) i believe the PA attempts are more directly tied to trump.

No, one is opening the door to be wrong, the other is literally priming supporters to feel justified in a civil war my guy!



This is a screenshot from a guy I know, telling me he hopes theres a civil war if Dems stole it.

The accusations are based on nothing, so what proof does this guy need that it didnt happen?

A leader should choose their words more carefully, and this playing dumb act youre doing is not cute.

I felt very similarly. I don't think a lot of people really understood how much would need to change for a lot of these businesses.

Like yeah, I want people who work full time for these apps to get benefits, be seen as employees, etc., but there's so much involved with that.

But I'm not really okay with screwing people who do it part time (some of which I know personally) in order to do it.

The whole thing in a mess and both sides need to work together to make it fair with compromises on both ends.

bluntly, both sides are primed for a civil war. it's the results that matter, not how it's said.
that's kinda the fucked status we're in right now. it isn't going to go "well, i guess he was wrong" because his declaration of victory was surrounded by "I think I've got it." it's gonna be "fuck that other guy, burn it down."

like, you know. people in this very topic series have said.
i'm not particularly interested in pretending the mask hasn't come off in here, that shit left back in June man. not you specifically, iirc you weren't one of them. but people aren't going to take that difference in phrasing as something to matter in the face of the result. whoever wins will have the loser's side on edge for civil war.

probably them too, yeah.
i mean for all these instances this is before recounts are called, and that's before double checking for double votes happens, so don't expect a proper winner for another week. probably around the time NC is expecting next week when it's all said and done.

Unless a state is decided by hundreds of votes it's quite unlikely things will change barring uncovering fraud.

oh i totally agree that what we get will generally be the result. some differences will pop up but i don't think it'd make anything.

but they're gonna ask for recount by hand, guaranteed. especially for arizona considering the sharpie thing keeps coming up and republicans will lean on that hard if they don't come out ahead.

Him and Vice President Ayanna Pressley will not be giving a press conference on my announcement. Sorry Joe, sorry Donald. Better luck next time. The voters have spoken. We will not allow these ballots that 'suddenly showed up' looking all official and everything distract us and steal the election away from us.
