Trying to wrap my head around the Republican's decision to run a jock football player who regularly just makes stuff up about himself in a race that they barely lost last time and should have a solid shot taking back with a decent candidate. Like, I'm not complaining, Herschel is fucked, but it just seems kind of baffling. Was the R pool that bad this time around? Maybe they looked at MTG's win and wanted to go in that direction, forgetting that she wasn't actually voted in and won by default. Oh wow, we both live in Georgia.

HanOfTheNekos 08/30/22 3:40:28 PM #469:	A civil war is practically impossible in this country. Quality of life is too high for most people to be interested, and the country is too bloated to properly break apart. Our police are militarized and our military is big. National guard itself has enough equipment to stamp down most with force. Most states would shut down the moment they lose access to food from other states. Especially access to California. And then you have the problem of who the rebels are even fighting against. Police who are politically aligned with the rebels but just doing their job? Local governments who don't really have power to do much anyway? Left-wingers who are also satisfied enough with life to just throw a white flag and ask to not be involved? There's also that big states aren't split along party lines enough. Might have this slightly wrong, but California, bastion of the blue, has more Republicans in it than any other state. It would take an intentional schism in the military to lead to any real chance at civil war. And as we've seen with 1/6, even the assholes who will take action are mostly buffoons and won't actually take that much action. Anybody who acts alone, like the guy that shot up Cincinnati, will just get shot in return. --- "Bordate is a pretty shady place, what with the gangs, casinos, evil corporations and water park." - FAHtastic <cite>HanOfTheNekos posted [p:967680624] in Politics C...

Thorn 08/31/22 8:17:28 PM #486:	Alaska had a special election for its at-large (statewide) house seat a few weeks ago. It was ranked choice voting which is why it didn't go final until today but lmaooooooooo https://twitter.com/SteveKornacki/status/1565130364905037825 (Kornacki here has a typo. Begich was also a Republican) In the first round the Dem was ahead by a surprising amount with Palin in second.

My understanding about Begich is that hes a moderate Republican from a Democratic political dynasty. One on one Begich beats both of them. Peltola beats Palin. The way Republicans can win the November election is tactically voting Begich so Palin is eliminated. As it stands Peltola will win again if Begich doesnt pass Palin. --- I just decided to change this sig. Blaaaaaaargh azuarc <cite>LightningStrikes posted [p:967723457] in Politics C...
