Hardkill

Yeah! I pray the Kentucky Demon Lord of the Senate goes down!

It's now very likely that they will.

Decision Desk HQ called Warnock, the winner of his race! Ossoff is super close!

Why do the Dems play nice and share power with Republicans and not the other way around?

Damn. So, then what will Biden be able to get done without the Senate majority?

Why would it still be an an almost insurmountable obstacle even if the Dems do end up winning both seats in Georgia?

Shit. So, you guys have no idea how this going to go. I am really worried about what will happen with the Biden administration if the Dems don't regain the Senate control.

Yeah, that's true. So, then is Trump really a litmus test for devils and fools or were you actually joking about that?

Nothing is impossible. You don't know until you try to actually help him You're sounding useless.

Not helping, dude. Besides, how has that been working for you?

It is absolutely despicable what Trump is doing. Also, if I were Raffensperger, I would feel like I am not just being bullied by Trump, I'd also feel like I am being totally harassed by him. I mean don't you guys think that what Trump is doing is very stalkerish?

Where is proof that the leftists do that? Also, what you’re educational background? Furthermore, what hate group do you belong to and what conspiracy theories do u believe in? Are you a QAnon member?

Ah, I see. Yeah, I actually agree with you on that.

I care because I think it's very worrisome to see that there appears to be many more people in my country than I thought before who are not as smart as they appear to be. They also are influencing people to believe in the very dangerous and toxic right-wing conservative theories and ideas especially those that have been heavily propagated by the alt-right media. Also, as Leo just said again, Trump has become a litmus test for fools and devils. So think about what that says about guys like Corey, or other popular entrepreneurs like John Sonmez and Jason Blaha?

OF COURSE!!!! Lmao Well, that's too bad. I like TYT more than Rising and others like Kyle. I mean I definitely agree that a lot of these progressive YT channels out there are really bashing the mainstream media too hard. However, I feel like TYT is more fair and reasonable in their opinions about the mainstream media than other progressives like Krystal and Kyle are. Am I wrong or do you disagree with that?

Hey guys, so I've been thinking how some progressives I've heard from including Cenk and Ana from TYT and Forestluv from the Forum, who have said that Republicans are better than Democrats at framing and narrative control and that's why Republicans more often than not beat the Dems. I don't totally understand this though. What do you guys think and if true then why?

So, would you say that even The Young Turks are as dogmatic as Kyle and Krystal are with their progressive beliefs?

I know, this is getting really crazy, but I keep worrying about the constant new allegations made and supposed new "evidence" of voter fraud emerging such as this one, which was mentioned yesterday: https://www.oann.com/witnesses-in-ga-say-democrats-altered-military-ballots/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=witnesses-in-ga-say-democrats-altered-military-ballots what really stands out to me in that article were statements such as: "On Wednesday, several witnesses came forward during a hearing. They presented both photo and video evidence of rampant fraud. Republican poll watchers also claim they got locked out of the counting stations when it came time to look over military ballots, which typically lean red." “'I estimated that somewhere between 80 and 90 percent were going to Joe Biden,” a poll watcher stated. “Throughout the day it kept making me sicker and sicker every time I saw another Biden… and then I’m going through batches, 100% of the batches were Biden. I find that statistically impossible.'” "Fun Fraud Fact of the Day: "All 900 military ballots in Fulton County [Georgia] were 100% for Joe Biden." In what alternate universe does this happen? In 2016, Trump won the military vote 60% to 34%." "Despite mountains of evidence of wrongdoing, Georgia state officials still refuse to take action." Rudy Guiliani's tweet "In a country with a free press, you would know: 1. The Georgia Senate Judiciary Committee issued a report demonstrating the vote was stolen from @realDonaldTrump. 2. The vote was unanimous and BIPARTISAN to audit Fulton County’s Absentee ballots. 3. And to de-certify Biden." Also, several millions of Trump voters are still not backing down from the idea that the Dems cheated the election and are constantly demanding audits everywhere within every single election office and place involved with counting and tabulating every single vote within the states of Georgia, Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. They are also pressuring the republican controlled state legislatures within each of those to overturn the results of the election. What if those state legislatures do finally cave in to the pressure and actually decide to overturn the election by appoint and certifying a rival slate of electors for the US Congress to count on January? What if the legislature judiciary committee in each of states by some serious bad luck actually end up finally receiving some pieces of evidence that apparently end up being considered sufficient enough to overturning the election? This whole shit really keeps me up at night!

Ok, so then why do Justice Democrats keeping saying "Corporate Dems don't know how to fight back against the republicans!", They negotiate too much with Republicans!", " They unilaterally surrender to them!", "Most Democrats are weak and don't have the balls to call it out and be more aggressive like most Republicans are!" "Corporate Democrats are feckless, which is why they usually lose to Republicans in elections and suck at getting new bills pass through Congress or through state legislatures!"?

So, according to the source and what you're saying, the republicans get a lot more SuperPAC money not just for their party, but also for Against Dems.

lol. I am confused. I definitely get the idea that republicans constantly use gerrymandering, voter suppression and strategically winning geographic pluralities through these avenues. I also agree that it isn't right that votes are not counted equally and seats in congress/senate are not allotted equally. Though why has Forestluv said that "Dems absolutely suck at framing and narrative control" and why have other progressives like Cenk and Ana from TYT said statements "Democrats HATE their base! Republicans excite their base!", "Democratic leadership and the media just doesn't get it because they don't know how to think like a regular person! They're all such elitists!", "Republicans are better than the Dems at framing and getting there message across to public" I thought that Dems usually end up getting a lot more campaign money than Republicans do.

Okay, I am aware that this post may come off as hyper judgmental; however I've come to realize after much deliberation over all of the knowledge, wisdom, and experience that I have gained on US politics, society, government throughout my entire life time including having already read so many discussion posts within the Society, Environment, Government, and Politics section of the forum, I realize that it all comes down to the fault of ALL of the US right wing ideologies that have pervaded throughout the entire USA and have sadly been ingrained within almost half of the people within the country for well over a century long. They have regularly create economic inequality, racial inequality, voter suppression, gerrymandering, no social/societal progression, shaming of other people's religions, shaming of people's sexuality, crazy gun rights, problems with libertarianism which Leo talked about in his vid about it, etc.. At the extreme, they have to alt-right conspiracy theories, white supremacism, white nationalism and other ideologies or organizations that feature aspects of ultranationalist, chauvinist, xenophobic, theocratic, racist, homophobic, transphobic, or reactionary views oppression, political violence, forced assimilation, ethnic cleansing and even genocide, etc., etc. All in all they have been ANACHRONISTIC, BACKWARDS, TOXIC, DESTRUCTIVE, and INHUMANE philosophies. Let's also get real about this folks, there have been way more idiotic, incompetent, and sinister republican and right-wing conservative politicians than idiotic, incompetent, and sinister left-wing liberals and democratic politicians. All of these core beliefs have ruined an astronomical number of lives within our country for over a century, This is why republicanism and the alt-right movements should never be tolerated! They have been the roots of all political and economy within the US! Now, noticed that I said right wing ideologies are VIRTUALLY and not ABSOLUTELY. This is because I believe that there are only two American right-wing conservatives that have merit to them. They are capitalism, freedom of speech, and strong controls on immigration. I absolutely do believe that capitalism is totally necessary to perpetually promote prosperity, innovation, and career freedom within a country. Freedom of speech is something that I of course very much believe in that as well. Yet, the use of this wonderful privilege within our country has sadly gotten way out of hand within our country for at least a century long, especially with all of these poisonous conspiracy theories out there throughout all of the internet and all forms of media, outspoken racism and sexism, verbal abuse towards anyone from the LBGTQ+ community, and said hatred and mockery of anyone who is not a Christian. As for strong controls on immigration, I totally agree with that. In fact, I hate to admit this, but the one thing that Trump did right as president, was making the government really crack down on hard on illegal immigrants and the deporting of millions of illegal immigrants that lived in the US. Why I absolutely believe in total racial and gender equality and genuinely welcome multicultural and complete ethnic diversity within our country, the illegal immigration situations that have gone on within the US have really become serious growing problems for our country.

So, you think that even western societies are becoming increasingly more for populist ideologies?

Oh god! I am am so sorry for your loss Yuliya. I cannot begin to imagine what you're going through or how you are processing all of this. My heart truly goes out to you. This has been arguably the worst year for millions of people around the world like yourself. If there is anything you need, then please let me know and I will try to help. Also, have you sought out intense therapy?

When it first happened in my country, I was terrified by it and thought that this could possibly be the end the world. However, a few weeks afterwards, when I realized that the virus is definitely beatable for at least 95% of the people in the world, including those within my country, I thought that the virus would go away either during the end of spring or the summer of 2020. However, once the cases and deaths started getting increasingly worse as the months went by I felt increasingly frustrated by the restrictions imposed upon me and my parent whom I've been living with and who are elderly with pre-existing medical conditions. I also got momentarily depressed when I lost my part-time job at Macy's due to their massive corporate layoff as a tragic consequence of the virus having negatively impacted their business. I also, got so sexually/romantically frustrated for several months because I've had to constantly keep my distance physically from girlfriend (who now is telling me that she wants to end our relationship). Furthermore, I currently feel hopeless about my future career because of how bad the economy has gotten in the US.
