live election thread
« on: October 31, 2014, 11:21:21 AM »
There's going to be another live election thread, in the Politics forum, for general stuff, but this one's for primitive reactions to the elections.

Nobody really knows what's going to happen; all we can do is sit back, relax, get mellow, and patiently wait.

Since there's likely to be tons of election threads on Skins's island election night, decent and civilized people might get overwhelmed by all the copying-and-pasting demanded, and simply give up.

We don't want that to happen; one's free to post free-standing threads about the primitive reactions--in fact, one's encouraged to--but in case time and energy isn't enough, one can post links here to primitive comments one finds eminently worthwhile, with maybe half a sentence of summary of each thread's highlight.

Examples:

Quote
www.link
Atman promises suicide

Quote
www.link
Skippy accidentally detonates nuclear device over San Francisco before votes are counted

Quote
www.link
MrsCorpio finds out he's not God after all

Quote
www.link
primitives allege racism :yawn: responsible for losses

Quote
www.link
Big Mo gets arrested for trying to vote in Wisconsin

^^^something along those lines.

Also, since Skins's island's bound to be locked down that evening, this is a handy place for those with moles to illuminate those without moles, about what's going on behind the curtain.

This campfire of his was lit the morning after the elections.

Apparently Atman thought he would come over and see us in disarray.

I dunno; I'm not simple-minded enough to understand what goes on in his head.

Stupid Pedro.


I'm curious, though.

What did the evil twin expect to see here, the morning after the elections?

Should be entertaining.  Apparently exit polling from early voting is not going all that well for them, to the extent it means anything at all.

Capital idea. Their screams of denial will be quite entertaining.
We've already seen accusations of stealing. 
I can hardly wait to see what other shenanigans we're accused of.
Hint for DUmmies......they're all true!  :bwah:
Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

Also Saturday morning:

Quote
Democrats Count on Edge With Women to Limit Election Losses

WASHINGTON — Democrats are nervously counting on an enduring edge among female voters in most states to prevent a Republican rout in Tuesday’s elections. Yet so great is the uncertainty that even before the returns are in, some are second-guessing the party’s strategy of focusing more on issues like abortion and birth control than on jobs and the economy.

Oh it means something. It steals away their "stolen election" rally cry.
We all know they'll use it anyways-they will just sound more pathetic this year.

I would like my fellow DU watchers to link and quote the calls for violence and revolution.

I would like permission to link/post to other leftist sites as well. maybe in  a separate thread.

It means that exit polling is racist, and sexist, and homophobic, and transphobic...early voting probably is too.

Thank you. I will. I was thinking of various Occupy sites still up and running, they are DUmmies who actually LEAVE their basements and actually do things.
But I also want to hit MSNBC and other mainstream liberal boards for salty tears and anguish as well.

It will be sweet but not as epic as before.
 The media is not spinning exit polls as a victory for the rats. Dummies have seen the inevitable coming for a while now.

It might be a good time to burn a few moles to push the buttons.

I'm going to indulge in some reminiscencing here.

No, there's no sex in it.

May 17, 1995 was the happiest day of my life--never had one happier before, never had one happier since--the day I learned that the Republicans had taken over both houses of Congress the preceding November (and for the first time in my whole entire life, the House of Representatives), and that Nebraska had won the national championship in college football the preceding January.

I was out in the remote steppes of southwestern Russia when a package from home found its way to me. 

When wandering around the socialist paradises of the workers and peasants, it was as if I were truly on the dark side of the moon, out of contact with the civilized world.  For obvious reasons, I could never use a telephone (and at $25, American currency only, for three minutes), and the internet was still aborning, meaning e-mail wasn't in general use yet.

I wrote letters home.  People back home wrote letters to me.

Which generally took 2-3 months to arrive at either destination, many times mistakenly misdirected to Cuba or Cameroon or China first (as the markings on the envelopes betrayed).

The socialist paradises were in considerable disarray at the time, utter chaos and anarchy and shambles, and English-language "resources" were rare, if at all.

So I always received news from home.....rather late.

On the sunny afternoon of May 17, 1995, the socialist post office delivered to me a package that had been sent shortly after the new year began five months previously.  It was from Omaha.

The package of course had been rifled, there being hardly anything left in it besides crumpled-up editions of the Omaha World-Herald, used for padding.

The crumpled-up newspapers were from the day after election day November 1994 and a couple of days after the bowl games January 1995.  This wasn't by mere lucky chance; this was on purpose.

I read the news, and let out a roar that surely was heard as far away as the Caucasus Mountains.

Then I rushed out of the cottage and did cart-wheels and hand-springs across the knee-high grass of the Russian steppes.

My faith in humanity having been restored--sometimes good guys win after all--the day after that, having been away for so long, I finally made arrangements to come back home, to come back to an America where Hope had recrudesced.

I used to think that the Republicans would pick up 10 House seats, net, and 9 Senate seats.  I'd like to go up to 13 House seat net gain, and 11 Senate seat net gain.  There will be upsets that we don't know about on the national level.

I'll settle for holding the House, and gaining the Senate- any amount, any combination.

Okay, I'm going to need a volunteer, preferably at least two, to run this thread election night, as I plan to run the one in the Politics forum (not yet set up; it will be later today).

<<<has to keep a low profile so the primitives don't get worried and upset thinking franksolich is "up to something," getting paranoid about it.

<<<a nice guy; finds it troubling when the primitives get all paranoid.

Anyway.

One, two, or three people who will be around election night, or a substantial part of the night, to keep this thread jiggling along.

What Ballygrl used to do, and it worked well, was follow twitter and post from there, while others posted primitive reactions from Skins's island.  One's free to do something similar, posting from twitter or DU Jr. or wherever, if one wishes--the objective being to keep this thread hopping.

Thanks.
