this shits a jam

2018-11-06 21:39:28 UTC  

The elections huh?

2018-11-06 21:55:39 UTC  

If you haven’t voted, get your ass to the polls!

2018-11-06 21:55:47 UTC  

So

2018-11-06 21:55:50 UTC  

dems taking the house

2018-11-06 21:55:54 UTC  

republicans keeping the senate

2018-11-06 21:55:59 UTC  

Fairly expected tbh

2018-11-06 21:56:06 UTC  

Maybe. It’s too early

2018-11-06 21:56:17 UTC  

People are just about to get off work

2018-11-06 21:56:18 UTC  

Our voting is fucked

2018-11-06 21:56:24 UTC  

so incredibly fucked

2018-11-06 21:56:45 UTC  

in Atlanta, Kemp - the guy who has historically been in charge of the polling and is now running for governor

2018-11-06 21:57:06 UTC  

Hmmm.

2018-11-06 21:57:08 UTC  

Has more or less understaffed polling places in major, liberal/democratic areas (which would oppose him)

2018-11-06 21:57:23 UTC  

We haven’t lost yet.

2018-11-06 21:57:26 UTC  

not to mention, his ID laws are just

2018-11-06 21:57:34 UTC  

Like, he literally couldn't fucking vote

2018-11-06 21:57:39 UTC  

because his ID already expired

2018-11-06 21:57:55 UTC  

No need to despair.

Well that’s his fault

2018-11-06 21:58:08 UTC  

Also, do keep in mind that he's primarily disenfranchised primarily minorities...

2018-11-06 21:58:12 UTC  

Through his policies

2018-11-06 21:58:28 UTC  

I mean

2018-11-06 21:58:35 UTC  

I'm confident the democrats are gonna take the house

2018-11-06 21:58:49 UTC  

I just think our system's fucked

2018-11-06 21:58:53 UTC  

The house is a coin toss. So maybe

2018-11-06 21:58:55 UTC  

weighed heavily in favor of the republicans

2018-11-06 21:59:09 UTC  

Hell, the democrats need to win ~55% of the popular vote

2018-11-06 21:59:14 UTC  

to obtain the majority

2018-11-06 21:59:22 UTC  

Thanks to gerrymandering

2018-11-06 21:59:31 UTC  

So? The popular vote is gay

2018-11-06 21:59:42 UTC  

even then, just look at the senate or the electoral college... They're all reactionary institutions designed to suppress the working class

2018-11-06 21:59:53 UTC  

"What the people want is gay"

2018-11-06 22:00:03 UTC  

I mean, true, but I'm presuming you mean it in a derogatory way

2018-11-06 22:00:08 UTC  

in which case I disagree

2018-11-06 22:00:09 UTC  

Popular vote is retarded

2018-11-06 22:00:25 UTC  

What do you propose then?

2018-11-06 22:00:33 UTC  

The whole country would be ruled by coastal cities. No thanks

2018-11-06 22:00:39 UTC  

Well, what do you propose?

2018-11-06 22:00:42 UTC  

Sans popular vote

2018-11-06 22:00:46 UTC  

Democracy is dangerous to competent statecraft because it forces every political decision to be lowered to a level of stupidity that the masses can understand.

2018-11-06 22:00:51 UTC  

Okay
