Good. Trying to stay positive

2021-01-08 07:52:43 UTC  

Hopefully not relating to the virus 😳

2021-01-08 07:52:59 UTC  

Negative in that case my friend

2021-01-08 07:53:24 UTC  

Haha, nope. I'm staying healthy. I just meant the current events. But I am gonna sleep now, glad to see lots of people are joining!!

2021-01-08 07:53:34 UTC  

Ah.

2021-01-08 07:53:48 UTC  

Anyways, the rules here didn’t exactly specify

2021-01-08 07:55:08 UTC  

I’m not a trump supporter, I joined to try and get some insight on why some people are as upset as they are

2021-01-08 07:55:31 UTC  

Hello

2021-01-08 07:56:37 UTC  

It's about the integrity of our voting system. America was built on we the people calling the shots. If the officals just pick and chose who they want to win and we do nothing about it we will end up like Venezuela, or even worse, be China 2.0.

2021-01-08 07:56:57 UTC  

That's just my opinion. Others can have different ones.

2021-01-08 07:57:08 UTC  

So you feel like you don’t really have a say in national affairs

2021-01-08 07:57:15 UTC  

I respect whoever the American people vote for as long as it was fair.

2021-01-08 07:57:30 UTC  

Im solely speaking on the 2020 election

2021-01-08 07:58:43 UTC  

So you’re for the belief that the voting was tampered with, or votes were added, really anything under that particular umbrella

2021-01-08 07:58:54 UTC  

As most people are in here I would assume

2021-01-08 08:00:58 UTC  

The interesting thing is that most of the people in the U.S want the same thing. Freedom, enough security to be comfortable but not overbearing, a reasonable amount of public service.

2021-01-08 08:01:47 UTC  

Obviously wages sufficient to live on, friends to be with, family.

2021-01-08 08:04:11 UTC  

I'd like to add a functional economy to that if that's alright

2021-01-08 08:05:04 UTC  

I’m speaking on the bare bones basics, the direct needs of the people. A strong economy facilitates what I’ve listed (wages, security, freedom)

2021-01-08 08:07:50 UTC  

Anyways, back to the election. I think it’s a pretty big risk, especially so if you’re for the will of the common people, to challenge the integrity of an election. It’s important to consider what it means should you be wrong; you’re potentially stripping the freedoms of millions of other people who votes for their candidate

2021-01-08 08:08:37 UTC  

Which is exactly what’s sparked the outrage on this side of the seesaw from what I can tell

2021-01-08 08:11:28 UTC  

If we are wrong all that happens is there's an investigation that brings up nothing. If we are right then the election is changed and integrity is kept.

2021-01-08 08:14:24 UTC  

Howdy fellas

2021-01-08 08:14:42 UTC  

Didn’t that already happen though? I know there were recounts in the key states and even hand counts with non partisan witnesses

2021-01-08 08:17:04 UTC  

alright so ima be real here, I joined to see how bad it would be since I was expecting an shitshow, but this seems relatively civil from what I've seen, so now I'm just interested as to what exactly is the main goal here?

2021-01-08 08:17:51 UTC  

like, what's the political/economic theory behind this

2021-01-08 08:18:04 UTC  

I’m fairly sure the point of the discord is networking.

2021-01-08 08:18:10 UTC  

and is there an overarching label for this party

2021-01-08 08:18:23 UTC  

well I know, but I'm just trying to form an opinion about this group

2021-01-08 08:18:52 UTC  

I suppose that depends on what expectations and beliefs you came in here with.

2021-01-08 08:19:39 UTC  

well I came here expecting an alt-right shithole tbh, so I was suprised by the rules at first lmao

2021-01-08 08:19:43 UTC  

But to keep it simple, I guess it’s a pro-Trump far right Conservative party.

2021-01-08 08:20:10 UTC  

well looking up trump in this server, it seems like most people aren't in support of him?

2021-01-08 08:20:15 UTC  

To be clear, I’m a progressive.

2021-01-08 08:20:36 UTC  

same

2021-01-08 08:20:42 UTC  

I'm ancom lmao

2021-01-08 08:20:54 UTC  

Come again? That’s not familiar to me

2021-01-08 08:21:02 UTC  

anarchocommunism mate

2021-01-08 08:21:24 UTC  

Alright I know vaguely of that

2021-01-08 08:21:46 UTC  

just the idea of direct democracy along with an equal distribution of wealth

2021-01-08 08:22:11 UTC  

Yeah, so you’re definitely further to the corner than I am.
