incumbent is the current party/politician in power

2020-02-12 18:18:12 UTC  

Ok, so incumbent voting means?

2020-02-12 18:24:45 UTC  

since the incumbent is usually only challenged by weak contenders from their own party in the primary, a strong incumbent vote indicates turnout in the general election

2020-02-12 18:32:09 UTC  

@ETBrooD Means votes for the incumbent.

@Omar_The_OMAP I doubt it. It's so patently obvious the theatrics these partisan hacks are playing. They're just so desperate at this point that they're being retarded with their political games. A SWAT team of 26 people busting down this 76yo man's home and now recommending 9 years in prison for a process crime? Ridiculous.

@The Electric Lizard Translation: "The left moves steadily further to the left and amps up their persecution of normal people"

2020-02-12 18:48:46 UTC  

Lol

2020-02-12 18:49:40 UTC  

@The Electric Lizard what the fuck is a "white supremacist propaganda incident?"

2020-02-12 18:50:28 UTC  

Are they saying they saw an ACTUAL SKINHEAD yelling and handing out leaflets on the street?

2020-02-12 18:51:31 UTC  

Or have they just expanded the definition of "white supremacy," and everything is exactly the same otherwise?

2020-02-12 18:53:04 UTC  

To be honest i wouldn't be surprised if they consider any remotely right wing policy positions to be 'White Supremacist Propaganda'

2020-02-12 18:53:40 UTC  

> The barrage of propaganda, which overwhelmingly features veiled white supremacist language with a patriotic slant...

2020-02-12 18:54:09 UTC  

"Veiled white supremacist language," you say?

2020-02-12 18:54:34 UTC  

That is, just normal, everyday patriotic language?

2020-02-12 18:54:43 UTC  

This is the ADL so they probably won't be that credible

2020-02-12 18:54:53 UTC  

They're fucking high

2020-02-12 18:55:09 UTC  

They're talking about pamphlets and posters

2020-02-12 18:55:13 UTC  

i'm sure these people think that "the US is a great country" is "white supremacist language" to these people.

2020-02-12 18:55:47 UTC  

> "Center on Extremism Director Oren Segal told the Associated Press that the groups are making an effort to emphasise "patriotism" in an attempt "to make their hate more palatable for a 2020 audience". "

2020-02-12 18:56:15 UTC  

Or, bear with me now

2020-02-12 18:56:27 UTC  

They're just trying to be patriotic

2020-02-12 18:56:33 UTC  

They don't seem to give any examples of 'White Supremacist Propaganda' besides patriotism

2020-02-12 18:57:02 UTC  

2,713 "incidents" IN A YEAR

2020-02-12 18:57:05 UTC  

"It was the second year that the circulation of racist and nationalist posters and banners more than doubled"

2020-02-12 18:57:10 UTC  

"REEEEEE YOU HATER YOU THINK BEING PATRIOTIC IS A GOOD THING!!!"
-democrats likely.

2020-02-12 18:57:26 UTC  

I wonder how they are defining what a 'Nationalist' poster is

2020-02-12 18:57:42 UTC  

"make america great again"?

2020-02-12 18:57:54 UTC  

Plus how is a 'Nationalist' Poster treated as 'White Supremacist Propaganda'?

2020-02-12 18:58:47 UTC  

They never seem to ask why they think these groups are getting more popular either

2020-02-12 18:59:15 UTC  

The United States has close to 330 million citizens and covers 2.26 BILLION acres of territory

2020-02-12 18:59:22 UTC  

I wonder if it might have something to do with the increasing identity politics on the Left <:hyperthink:462282519883284480>

2020-02-12 18:59:32 UTC  

I hope the left loses this election so badly they have no choice but to realize the philosophies they're embracing are causing the populace to hate them

2020-02-12 18:59:39 UTC  

They won't

2020-02-12 18:59:43 UTC  

I know

2020-02-12 18:59:46 UTC  

If they lose they will just get more extreme

2020-02-12 18:59:56 UTC  

Probably more riots
