Oh god lord.
Gag me
Thanks for sharing this. Iâve been meaning to get the gears in my brain turning on the Lincoln Project and what we need to to do to curb their influence in these coming years. Theyâre apparently starting a media business. This should give everyone on the left and center-left genuine cause to worry.
David Sirota, founder of the Daily Poster and an editor on Jacobin and one of the authors of the article that Akimbo posted in another thread, had this to tweet out:
The Dems need to figure out genuine strategies to curb what looks to be The Lincoln Projectâs aspirations; becoming an influential propaganda wing of the GOP meant to reform its image and its image alone. Democrats in both the center-left and farther left need to work on building out both proactive and reactive media campaigns to serve as counters to whatever the hell Lincoln Project plans to put out.
Dave Sirota isnât someone I value - Still remember the racist campaign he ran in Philly.
I see. I didnât know that and I apologize for bringing him up. I still feel that the articles that Iâve linked are valuable sources of info, however, and will leave them in my post and refrain from sharing anything else from him in the future.
I was unaware of his background as well.
Itâs been called. President Elect Biden. PA finished its count.
CNN and MSNBC called it. Fox News hasnât picked up on it yet. Theyâre slow.
Van Jones was literally weeping on CNN just now.
Which is a nice indicator but doesnËt actually mean anything, does it?
Do we think Trump is going to concede? DoesnËt seem likely.
He mentioned that it has been four years of suffering and waking up to those tweets.
âItâs easier to be a parent this morningâŚâ âIf youâre a MuslimâŚand a immigrant (you have a president who cares for you).â
Uh no, it means a fuckton.
Do we think Trump can hold onto power? No. Doesnât seem possible. It finally doesnât seem possible.
Still votes left to count - some 80k - but their decision desk has determined itâs no longer mathematically possible for Trump to pull ahead at this point. AP and others share in this analysis. I can finally breathe again.
Biden sure wasnât my first or second or even third choice but Iâm over the fucking moon to settle for ânot Trumpâ at this point.
ÂŻ\_(ă)_/ÂŻ conceding is a formality, not a requirement. On 12:00 January 21 Trump can take the window or take the stairs.
Trumpâs concession is unnecessary. His lawsuits keep getting tossed out for lack of evidence. The Secret Service is probably itching to throw his plague ridden ass out of the White House
Biden probably wonât be a great president, but he will be a normal president. I can do with normal right now.
oh, I think thatâs right. Itâs just that the media (thankfully) donât determine the election outcome. Until Congress counts the votes in, what is it, January? - the election isnât over.
Normally the losing candidate concedes before then and so the count is usually purely ceremonial but sadly, I canât see Trump doing that.
Weâre going to be stuck with shedloads more of Trump fuck-wittery before he finally fucks off.
Who knows maybe his lawyersâ press conference will surprise us all.
