SE Hoya Containment Thread (aka Politics)
Welcome to the Official SE Politics Thread. The aim here is for high quality political discussion and debate. The concomitant aim here is for that high quality discussion and debate to NOT devolve into MAD posting, BAD posting, trolling, name-calling our community fracture.
We embark on this project hoping to encourage fair and thorough exchanges of views, and also fair and thorough advocacy for positions. We should learn a lot.
Rules
1. Posters are required to have 50 posts in SE over the last 365 days. This thread is not a proxy for the Politics forum, or an arena for goal-based issue advocacy from people we don't even know.
2. Pure devil's advocacy will not be tolerated unless it is identified by that poster as the aim of the particular post. There will be no run of the mill nitpickery for the sake of nitpickery.
3. This will be enforced loosely, but you are obligated to outline your basic position on whatever issue you're debating. We will not have loaded, gotcha-style internet-standard race to the bottom terrible posting in this thread. That does not mean you have to state every closely-held belief in every debate. You just can't hide the ball. "I'm not sure what my position is" is a completely valid position to hold.
4. Insults are out. You will not resort to that in this thread, because that will ruin this thread.
5. If you demonstrate an ongoing commitment to lowering the quality of discourse through incessant trolling or simply being really terrible, you'll be removed from this thread.
6. These are subject to significant revision as this thread develops.
There is a tradition in SE of better, fuller, funnier discussion of a really wide range of topics. Let's continue that here.
pacman crying about losing subs since the election ... hilarious, especially since the last time i saw anything from him he was responding to criticism of his pro-genocide takes by essentially saying **** off then, my subs and $$$ are going up every day, i don't need you
He's fine.
I don't recall him supporting the genocide either.
Dems ran their most right wing campaign ever... pro genocide, Cheney, promising repubs in the cabinet, etc
their opponent was the most hated candidate ever. if running to the right was a winning strategy, they would have obliterated trump.
but Dems got destroyed. Kamala didn't out perform Biden in ONE COUNTY! NOT ONE! kamala didn't flip one county! not one!
trump and the republican party are a complete joke, and Dems lost to them. not only lost, but got destroyed lol
trump LOST votes from last election, that was a losing election... and Dems STILL lost lol
I was definitely wrong about the Cheney support helping Kamala.
Apparently no one on the left wants to hear from the Cheneys either way.
I like tw's explanation of it (on the daily show) but no one on the regular right can be convinced so wasted effort.
if Dems wanted to win, they easily could. it's not worth it for them to win if they have to support the will of the people. they'd rather have trump than give us healthcare, tax the wealthy, stop pollution, stop war, etc
no idea if this is a joke or not, because i have seen people say this unironically, but around when he dropped out the dems apparently had internal polling showing trump winning ~400 electoral votes if he stayed in the race. and it probably only would have gotten worse given, ya know, how he no longer has the ability to think or talk or
I was joking, but I bet Dark Brandon is spending the 15 minutes a day he can think straight seething about everyone pushed him out just to get wafflecrushed.
Would be kinda cool if he just said F it and did a bunch of wild **** on the way out. A Hunter pardon would be lolz
Im sure Brandon is irate for the few minutes of the day that he is coherent.
but look on the bright side, there is not a person on the planet happier than Hillary Clinton right now.
wanna hear the best bipartisan argument for kamala, something that like 90% of the country can get behind?
just think about how mad it'll make shillary to:
1. not be the 1st lady president
2. be the only loser who couldn't beat trump
they legit should have run on this ^ ..... i mean it's 100x better than any actual message they used
that gets my vote
do you guys aim for each others face when you do this?
are you gonna stay this mad for 4 more years? thats gotta be exhausting.
YOU FOUND MOM?!?!?!?!?!?????
LOL at the appointments. get ready for some real GENOCIDE!
i'm actually looking forward to watching you idiots cry about it.
yeah totally man. i mean trump just gave them a 30-day deadline to stop starving everyone to death, which they obviously said lol to, and then orange man said yeah i was just kidding about that ultimatum.
oh wait, it was "the good guys" who did that...
you must be absolutely mclovin this ****
i'm sure the ...checks notes....Fox N Friends guy or Lil Marco....will fix that all up.

right but at least the Dems gave a fake ultimatum. Repubs wont even pay lipservice to not killing 100s of thousands. its all about harm reduction!
the first word in the obit after this old bitch brandon finally coffin-flops into hell better be genocide i stg

tired: dunking on republicans for thoughts+prayers responses to mass shootings
wired: sorrynotsorry responses, at best, to genocide
pretty wild for the dems to run on "trump is yank hitler", only to put completing this genocide ahead of stopping him. at least we're fully mask-off now and everyone knows the score and where we're at with everything. evil empire, you're the baddies, etc. enjoy arbys
I had a meeting I forgot about yesterday and when I walked into my office the lady I was supposed to meet with was sitting there eating Arby’s and dripping **** all over my desk.
Looked delicious, ngl.
Anyways goodbye department of education, hello DOGE!!
Ngl these Trump appointments are pretty damn hilarious.
Grifter Tulsi Gabbard got a role.
Rfk is now like the head health person.
Pedo Matt Gaetz Attorney General.
Comical!
so glad Gaza and Ukraine situations are resolved this morning....
