Free speech is only ok when it isn’t harmful. Yes I know what she said isn’t harmful in that sense but it’s misleading and based on nothing lmao. But this whole Trump fraud thing is tearing the country apart for literally no reason other than idiots choose to believe the main idiot because how could he possibly lose right????

I'm fine with harmful free speech. If ya wanna be a racist or sexist that's your own prerogative, you're just gonna hurt yourself in the eyes of public opinion which in these days costs people their jobs through their online activities. I certainly wouldn't fire someone for spreadin' false narratives, the news does it daily.

Either everything is free or nothing is.

Funny thing about the far left is they practice and preach the exact ideals of fascists when it comes to language and how "other side think".

You don't follow their narrative....you either go missing or you are forced to apologize for even the most miniscule thing.

Not in the mass shooting way the far right employ. ....but still. Having to live an entire lifetime as a social pariah isn't any better.

Latest Polls Of The Georgia Senate Runoff Elections

The latest polls collected by FiveThirtyEight, since the Nov. 3, 2020, election, of the two Georgia Senate runoff elections that will determine which political party controls the Senate.

Here's some polls for the two Georgia senate races that have runoffs and will effectively decide the senate control if Democrats win both, and they're close af rn so who knows. Read some stuff saying that some republicans are turned off of voting at the moment bc Trump keeps saying the election is rigged so that could have to do with these polls being Dem favored. Might also be why Mitch McConnell said fuck it and endorsed Biden's win today finally

Mitch McConnell has rat fucked democracy more than 45 is being claimed to have.

"President Trump’s nominee will receive a vote on the floor of the United States Senate." - 2020

Yeah fuck Mitch McConnell

This is why I hate politicians. They only say shit when it benefits them even if they take opposing stances on the same issue.

Latest polls show both republicans gaining ground and Perdue pulling back ahead. Just going off the general election and seeing this race so close I think the polls have to favor republicans winning at least one if not both of these races. Democrats still underperformed with how the polls were predicting despite still having a solid victory throughout the country so any under-performance here should be an easy republican win. Granted I do think the Georgia polls were fairly accurate themselves, showing a slight Biden victory before-hand which ended up being true....so who knows lmao

Polls mean nothing.

Should've been common knowledge after 2000.

You can get a ton of info from polls if you don't think that a 5% difference means the person ahead is 100% going to win like people seem to expect.

It mostly means there's a 5% margin for error.

No....what it means is the polls got everything wrong and I will never trust them again

 

[Deezy]

Seems like the margin of error is a lot larger than that.
