***** Official Election Game Day Thread *****

Popping in the P&R to tell my brothers and sisters on our board CONGRATS!!! 

I am not glad that Biden won, because I am a conservative, but I do know the feeling when the person you don't want to win, doesn't win (previous election for me personally). 

So I hope you smile and enjoy and be happy and CONGRATS!!!  I am totally sincere about this.

And now you are possibly primed for the next 4-12 years.  I have no idea what the Rs are going to do in the next primary election, but I hope they don't waste it.  I don't care at the moment, it's not even my point.    But my point is - enjjoy, smile, laugh and congrats!

Thanks, but it's not about just winning and losing--this is politics and governance, not a sporting event. Instead of pointing and laughing (like what the Trump voters have done the past 4+ years) the sane, rational people left in the GOP need to clean house and get rid of the infestation that Trump and his supporters have caused. 

I don't have a problem with a Republican governance that follows laws and knows when it's time to stop playing partisan politics and to get everyone on board to tackle a common enemy (e.g. a f***** pandemic). I have a problem when a party plays politics with and kowtows to the crazy, vocal base that is eschewing common sense and rational thought so they can live in a reality of their choosing. 

Unfortunately, those sane, rational Republicans are either A-voting with the Democrats now (see Lincoln Project), or B-left holding the bag while they watch the GOP become a circus tent full of derp.

(except that since Puerto Rico isn't a state, they don't get to vote for president)   :lol:

For crying out loud!  If I was a Republican Trump supporter I'd be offended that Cornyn thought I was this dumb!

@Notre Dame Joe, John Cornyn thinks you're an idiot!

And here’s an analysis piece from the Washington Post that details the shift in the GOP from being pro-Democracy to pro-Authoritarian:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2020/11/12/republican-party-trump-authoritarian-data/

What is troubling (other than the trends of the GOP primarily appealing to uneducated whites and very little else) is how their fevered grip on Capitalism requires them to eschew reality and construct their own to justify their position. It’s as if we’re in late-stage Capitalism...

 
This guy has totally lost his marbles.  He can't even keep the same thought process through one tweet.


I also absolutely love it that Twitter is putting that tag line on every one of his tweets.

i think the news needs to stop talking about trump and what he is saying or doing.   a simple "president baby  is still crying about the election" and leave it at that.   then go on to talk about Corona or the biden transition to power or whatever else is in the news that day.

What I find amazing is the degree of interest or should I say passion in the American election that many outside our boarders have.  How passionate do we get about the elections in other countries?  Typically not much.   It proves 1. How influential America is to these other nations and 2. How sh%$ty of a president we had  when 'outsiders' are celebrating his defeat.
