Members Khan Posted November 9, 2020 Members Share Posted November 9, 2020 It literally brings tears to my eyes to read that statement from Biden. How I have missed this kind of sensibility from our leaders. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted November 9, 2020 Members Share Posted November 9, 2020 (edited) This fits with a lot of what you hear about Florida's Democratic Party (for years now) - and is one of the reasons I've felt the national party may be better off just writing the state off, if possible.

Members ChitHappens Posted November 9, 2020 Members Share Posted November 9, 2020 Not sure about the rest of you, but I'd love to see Trump physically removed from the WH. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted November 9, 2020 Members Share Posted November 9, 2020 If this is true, it explains a lot and it terrifies me about Georgia. It's all going to come down to turnout. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted November 9, 2020 Members Share Posted November 9, 2020 For me, this one hits particularly close to home. As y'all know, Mama Khan has become a QAnon believer. Yesterday, she remarked, "All I really cared about...was that Trump would remove the pedophiles." (She also brought up the "watermark theory" that's been floating around, the one even Glenn Beck had to dismiss because it's just so ludicrous on its' face). We'd already had our post-election blowout, and I wasn't in the mood for another, so I just let her talk. But, c'mon. As if Trump would ever CARE about extinguishing pedos from government. The s.o.b. couldn't even "drain the swamp," and he had no intention to, either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted November 9, 2020 Members Share Posted November 9, 2020 Yes. A lot of people, buttressed by some terrible polling, didn't get how prominent split-ticket voting or checks and balances type voting would be. Biden and Collins had a huge crossover vote. I've seen some, like Jeet Heer, trying to blame Biden because he supports bipartisanship, but that's a lot of nonsense - it's more that the country is far more right wing and easily persuaded by Republican and media-friendly Republican takes than by the left. Georgia is going to be hard, especially because a lot of the suburban vote that went for Biden won't be going downballot. I don't know if Ossoff has any real shot. I am hoping Warnock might manage to get through based on how truly repulsive Kelly Loeffler is, but it's going to be hard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted November 9, 2020 Members Share Posted November 9, 2020 I'm very sorry about what you're going through. I'm always terrified people I know will fall into this trap, especially as some of the friends of family members of mine are getting into it, or are close. And of course it's from Facebook. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OzFrog Posted November 9, 2020 Members Share Posted November 9, 2020 You were the first person that came to mind when I saw that thread initially, along with @amybrickwallace. It is so devastating to see the effect that QAnon has had on people and their families. I’m so sorry that you’re going through this Khan. Just know that you have my support at the very least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted November 9, 2020 Members Share Posted November 9, 2020 Trumpism brought absurd conspiracy theories and misinformation to the mainstream, and sadly, I think that’s a longterm ramification that we’re going to have to deal with for generations to come (on both sides, to be fair). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted November 9, 2020 Members Share Posted November 9, 2020 I'd believe it. Agree. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted November 9, 2020 Members Share Posted November 9, 2020 @Soapsuds Hey Ron, remember all those months back when you Mean Girled me with a "quit trying to make Kamala happen" remark? Guess what? It HAPPENED! LOL J/K buddy. I'm overjoyed. This has been such a wonderful celebratory weekend. That thing currently occupying the White House will soon be just another old white ranting 'n raving lunatic on Twitter. #GurlBye and wifey will divorce him by springtime for sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
