2020 Election Thread (formerly: 2020 Presidential Candidates Thread) (Part 1)

Talking heads seem to think PA will probably go blue by a pretty good margin. Time will tell, but watching Il Douche’s lead erode away is kinda satisfying.

I fucking hope so. I’m so ready for this nightmare to be over.

Imagine how far gone one would have to be to not see the contradiction. These protests were happening simultaneously.

That might work in Georgia, with a Republican legislature. He’ll need more than that for a forged 270, or to throw it to the House.

If it happens, don’t normalize it as sore loser “refusal to concede”. That’s insurrection against the Constitution, with the tinniest fig leaf of legality.

To be fair it’s far larger than the crowds of 0 after every other election.

The Cambridge Analytic factor in this equation has yet to be fully understood and appreciated IMO.
That apparatus was headed up by a guy who has a background running a secretive quant fund that has been wildly outdoing the overall market based on some sophisticated and clearly effective forms of analysis. What implications that has - now that we’ve seen what it says when paired with the mass surveillance tool of facebook - about the contents of (an all-too-susbstanial portion of) the American soul is chilling to say the least. It’s like Mercer and Zuck created a golem of Riefenstahl.

I like the term that the Pod Save America guys are using: “Nauseously Optimistic.”

Me, neither, for a few days now. I wonder if it’s something with our settings, since others can see them. I use an ad blocker, do you?

Yes. Maybe it’s different if it’s a link rather than an upload? Or some new crap since the latest iPhone software update? Or my phone’s vpn?

I have no idea

Probably this. I’m not seeing all uploaded pictures, either.

The BBS recently added support to link directly to gifs from tenor.co , and maybe those are the ones being suppressed.

Test:

NO MORE GIF SUPPRESSION!!!

I can see that, but I can’t see what you posted at #5724. Was that a gif or a static image?

On my laptop I can see that just fine. On my ipad it’s a blank white square.

I think it’s when I use the tenor feature? Can you see this, which I’ve uploaded?
