The BlueSwan Basement of Absurd & Ignorant Posts VIII

[100% pro-life no matter what]

Take one look at any ghetto/struggling rural area in the US and you'll see why abortion is much needed.

I'd propose naming the new thread after David or Mitt Romney's Hair.

Why should it be named after David's Hair? 😸

Just a heads up, If you repost something from another thread that's been infracted, it will be moderated here too.

Moderate, centrist positions in the era of Trump are still dangerously close to the perimeter of the Overton window.

I am amazed that I got trolled by an obvious .50C Army personality. The Chinese workers really did create an effective and consistent troll around the clock. At a website as irrelevant as this, the penetration is unreal.

I know it's JJ, but holy sh**t.

It is.

I am, unfortunately, seeing a lot of parallels between today's left and the right in Germany in the 1920's and early 30's.

I am not a big Trump guy, and disagree with him on some of his policies.   However, I'm looking at the alternative and seeing an increasingly radicalized left, that has even protested against a democratic election.

Like... There's no indication among polls that Hugin is gaining ground. He hasn't even led a single poll. There's a highly charged Democratic base ready to vote. New Jersey is on its way to possibly electing 11 Democrats and leaving behind only 1 Republican. Did I mention Hugin hasn't yet led in a poll?

But yes, New Jersey Tossup, let me believe your unscientific poll that you keep thinking is something serious, and let me keep believing your non-evidenced assertion that nj.com commenters are left-leaning (which isn't cited of course but when you're trying to stir things up who cares about proof?)

You'll be calling Mr. Hugin Senator Hugin this January

People are so salty about my Hugin-posting smh

Click for context. Some serious reading comprehension issues here as always:

Scott. He was looking better a few weeks ago.  It is close enough from him to pull an upset.

LOL @ all those Republican pollsters coming out of the woodworks now, just like all the right-wing Nazi rednecks are coming out of woodworks to mail pipe bombs and kill Jews.

Congratulations to the people of Brazil for making the right choice tonight.

Iowa is not voting a second time for Donald Trump.  If he is losing Wisconsin, he probably loses Iowa.   

Because clearly a Clinton +5 state is more likely to vote for Trump than a Clinton +9 state. #analysis

[PragmaticPopulist]

A lot of 2016 style arguments ITT. Trump basically showed that a very high number of Hispanic voters don’t give a sh**t about immigrant bashing since they themselves support it. Any Republican will get 25%+ of them to their side no matter how much white liberals complain.

Latinx =/= Mexican, even though they're practically synonymous in Technocracy Timmy's neck of the woods.

This is true since nobody is Latinx.

Its funny how white liberals decided that Latinos’ word for themselves is sexist and invented a new word.  99% of the time I hear Latinx its not from a latino.

Plus it's just linguistically stupid. Say latine, at least.

"Latino" is a term literally manufactured by the LA Times in the 90s. (well, they actually started using it in the 80s, but they started to really push it in the 90s) It was originally used as a neuter term, since it was an English fabrication, not a Spanish one. "Latina" came afterwards. Granted, "Hispanic", in the American sense, was also a fabrication.

I was once in a breakfast restaurant where a fellow guest was wearing what I can only guess was a sort of Mexican nationalist shirt, denouncing both the label “Latino” and “Hispanic” for different reasons. The shirt was pretty absurd, claiming that “Latino” included people from the Latin-speaking parts of Europe. I guess my Sicilian heritage should count.

[Politician]

Liberals always dismiss stuff that isn't conventional wisdom. Yard signs may sound silly, the same as the crowds at rallies but we are in a new era where Trump is turning out people who never used to vote. He has a very large base and that cannot be discounted. I understand Michigan well I am from here. Debbie Stabenow has been in office 43 years. All the moderate voters I know are voting for James. It's going to be a tight race and the governors could be as well. Michigan is just not the reliably democratic state it used to be anymore. 2016 proved it. Tomorrow we will find out if the game has totally been changed and if Trump can defy conventional wisdom again.

Donnelly, Tester, Manchin, McCaskill, and Heitkamp in terms of Senate races. #Populists

LOL, hofoid logic
Marie Newman- supports single payer and is pro-choice- Not a Populist
Claire McCaskill- Doesn't support free college or single payer, calls bernie and warren crazy- #Populist<3

Lean D. 2020 will not be a great year for Republicans nationwide, none of their potential candidates are very good in quality, and Jones is playing this entire situation perfectly. I wouldn't be that surprised if he held this senate seat until he died.

He really believes that the GOP will die lol

I underestimated how much polarization would spike several months before an election.

[Politician]

1.Republicans flip 13 seats to take the House (50-60% chance)
2. Democrats have a net gain of 4 seats to take the Senate (10-20% chance)
3. Democrats win White House - No chance
