General Chit-Chat Thread: A New Beginning

Ohhh Kamala over performing Biden in Kentucky and Indiana

 

[Jacob Fox]

She wont win them, Trump already did. But it is a good sign

 

[Death By Looch]

One thought crossed my mind couple of minutes ago... circling back to the discussion about what Trump and his supporters would do if he'd lose narrowly... just imagine how damn nuclear they'd go if he'd actually win the popular vote, but loses the election because of the Electoral College.

 

[Death By Looch]

I think that would make the hardest MAGA heads spontaneous explode

 

[Jacob Fox]

Oh yeah

 

[Chris]

That's also by far the least likely of any scenario fwiw but yes lol I would imagine a lot of Dems would also flip flop and be like "see this is why we have the college" too

 

[Jacob Fox]

I would be happy Kamala won but I would still be irritated a little

 

[Jacob Fox]

It wouldn't make me support the electoral college

Oh of course it is... absolute fantasy scenario... but just the thought alone is killing me

I got into with my old roommate that had some hilarious political opinions about the electoral college once and it really hurt my brain. At first he was simply arguing a true popular vote wasn't feasible and this way was the best with our limitations. I didn't agree with that but I tried to entertain it, but he wouldn't even say in a hypothetical where we knew the popular vote was accurate that we should use it lol

I'm still gonna be irritated by the sheer amount of people who will vote for Trump, doesn't even matter if he loses big or not. It irritated me how many voted for him in 2016, it irritated me how many votes he got in 2020.

 

[Jacob Fox]

The funny thing about the college is the nonsense people spout about it

 

[Chris]

Same guy also told me Lincoln owned slaves, then walked that back to, he just kept the slaves that were already in the White House, then finally said "well they just have told me wrong in school" after these things were easily disproven

 

[Jacob Fox]

"The college gives more power to less populated states" lol
