US Election

Aye ain't that the truth, people all like "this matters to me" when it affects them no more than the orbit of an exoplanet around some distant star in reality.
I have to admit, I do enjoy the tik tok meltdown videos, neurosis can be funny sometimes

 

I pretty much follow US politics rather closely, mostly watch US political commentators, Jimmy Dore, Tim Pool, Rubin, Kyle Kulinski, theHill sunrise show and quite a few others, a mix of progressive and conservative discussion. A good conservative Progressive balance if I am honest. (real progressives, not these woke race baiting, always for every war grifters like the BBC is also full of)


"wishful thinking" especially doesn't apply for senate seats, something I have zero interest in. I also didn't look it up then reply as if I knew that 10 minutes ago



100+ days of rioting and Antifa/BLM allowed to take over a city block, broadcast to the whole country (where half dont vote). The chop, and its top man was a rapper who was handing out AR15s to idiots who didnt even know how ot hold them, and people died.

The mayor of Portland and Gov of seattle cut free all the businesses and people who lived there, literally, left them to the scum that filled the void.

If you're not seeing what is going on, then I guess why you might resort to lazy claims of wishful thinking

 

Have you any evidence of Democrat Senators endorsing this? Or of it even happening?

 

You're the one who said you were guessing. Maybe you were just being lazy?

Anyway, I doubt many blame the democrats for the riots. That's just the mantra of a desperate Trump probably promoted by comedians like Jimmy Dore.

Sorry bro, I'd rather listen to recognised and robust news reporting than stand-up comedians. But you carry on.

Anyway either way we'll find out on Novermber 3rd which way it goes. What I can say is, it will be funny as fck at the fizzing on here if Biden wins and the Democrats win the Senate

 

If Democrat Mayor Jenny Dirkin allowing a mob to take over a city block for weeks, with its mental crime and murders, with its residents and businesses trapped, where people then have no access to ambulances or firetrucks and then saying "it could be the summer of love" is not an endorsement then..

What is?

I expect some semantic based argument in response, something like "did they actually say "we endorse this" or something akin that.

If Democrat Ted Wheeler Mayor of Portland has periodically conceded streets to Antifa in Portland prior to 2020 (he's also Portland police chief) and then goes begging to them in public, cucks to the mob, and they still set his apartment block on fire.. is not endorsement.. what is?

 

That's not a mix. It's a group of right wing people and a couple anti-Democrat Bernie Bros on the left.
Lots of people calling themselves libertarian and saying, "I'm not an (X), but...." then backing the right or criticising the right's opponents.
I'm not surprised you've come to your conclusions if you're listening to what they have to say and think it's balanced.

 

Promoting bail funds for rioters and looters (but call them protesters, I am sure some of them were, but so many were not) by Harris, the democrat VP candidate, many a person will see that as being on the rioters side.


The only real criticism came by about August, where many democrats flip flopped because the refusal to condemn the mayhem was showing up in the polls

As was said on CNN a time back, and reported here.

I think the term is "progressives" mate lol. Imagine forming your opinions on the world based on the paranoid delusions of Tim Pool and Kyle Kulinski ffs. Bloody hell.

 

Such comments only serve to show a lack of any real thought happening.

I am going to guess you know 0 about either individual you mentioned. Pool has won awards, worked for CBS and founded Vice News

Kulinksi is a progressive, a real one, I don't agree with everything he says, nor pool but you get varied view points which is important.

 

I think that Kulinski's genuine with what he believes, for the most part, but he's very Both Sides and a perfection as the enemy of progress example.
Pool's just a concern troll in the flesh.

 

No evidence then. Just sensationalist hyperbole.

 

Weren't you slating the media a few pages ago? Now you're quoting CBS to back up Pool. Which is it?

Look we were talking about the Senate elections. I doubt Pool, Kulinski or some stand-up comedian can give any more of an insight into which way 12 Democratic seats are going to go, any more than they have on how many 23 Republican seats are going to go.

Polls and bonifide journalism is commentating on there being a much more likely chance of Democrats duplicating what they achieved in Congress. Senate seats like Arizona and Colorado already look lost. Add to that Maine, North Carolina, Iowa, Georgia, Montana, South Carolina all looking lean for the Republicans. Compare that to just two for the Democrats. And let's not forget Democrats only need a net gain of 3 if Biden wins.

But Poole and Dore or something say something so let's ignore the facts.

 

This is exactly the response I expected

I will no longer see what you post, Good day sir

 

You just doubled down on thoughtlessness

I cited Pool, someone who worked inside of the beast, as a credible example of someone who understands how modern media works, and his very credible journalism from places around the world, occupy wallstreet, as one voice with one view point, and you hyperfocus on the two in the list you think you know something about from your 5 minute google

He's moved from that to social and political commentary, Podcasting and news reporting (discussing what the media reporting)
Kulinski is a social and political commentator, but "muh standup" which is the same argument Republicans use against AOC (but muh barmaid)


Polls and "unnamed bonafide something" as an authority crutch for your argument?
Polls are not reliable especially now where people are inclined to keep support for certain people under their hat and give their vote.
Remember when Hillary had a 93% chance of winning?

Polls had remain winning too.



"But Poole and Dore or something say something so let's ignore the facts"
This is the choice line in your doubling down. Hyperbolic paraphrasing of what I said, to attack, instead of what I actually say, is why I will also add you to the people I wont respond to on this thread, for my own sake

 

I won't be reading the following hugbox where usual suspects will all console and like each other's posts in some therapy session. It's OK to be wrong.

 

This is like watching Chris Eubank trying to pretend he's calm as he does a flounce.

 

You've used a lot of words to say nothing. There's literally zero evidence to back anything you said up except a lot of rhetoric.

Just because you don't like CNN, CBS, BBC, ITN, Channel 4 most likely, doesn't mean the journalism they report is less of an authority than a few Youtube cranks you pulled out at random. You slate the media and yet you quote the likes of CBS, Fox News when it suits you.

They're the ones reporting on the States I clearly named as being vulnerable to a swing to the opposition. At least I was able to offer something to back up what I think may likely happen. I'd certainly back them than a few Youtubers and Stand-Up comedians ffs

Counter the States I've mentioned with some evidence based arguments if you're capable instead of the conspiracy theory anti-media diatribe you always resort to. I see you've already shut down any reasoned debate with another poster on here because you couldn't back up with anything more than mere hyperbole yourself. Now you're throwing your toys out the pram with me. How fcking progressive of you

 

Bye

 

So let's get this right, he has asked you to provide information for your claim, you've responded, so he's challenged your lack of factual information and rather than provide quotes, or any other facts that validate your point you've chosen to stick your fingers in your ears and say la la la I can't hear you.

Fella you sound like an absolute clown, a rather childish, stupid clown.
