@unbreakable7633 The kangaroo courts would be the ones used to apply voter disenfranchisement in the South.

@BoliceOccifer Sure, because there's certainly no systemic racism in policing and prosecution. Especially not in the South.

@Maggie Tennent He'd probably need Chinese military backing for that to be possible. If Kim Jong-un really is braindead now, that's something that China might actually try in order to impose stability, since the last thing they want is a completely collapsed North Korea on their border.

@jiayangshao4736 There was no "China trade deal". All that happened was talking about a trade deal with China. The deal never actually happened. What we actually had was a trade war with China, one that the Trump administration was losing.

@turquoiseowl None of those hundreds of pages actually contained any "evidence of fraud". You need to learn the difference between "evidence of fraud" and mere assertions of fraud. Simply claiming that fraud happened is not the same thing as evidence.

@turquoiseowl Writing down an assertion in an affidavit and declaring "this is totally under penalty of perjury" when you sign it is not the same thing as actually testifying under oath in court. The latter hasn't actually happened.

The premise that Biden was "overcoming the odds" when he literally never trailed Trump in the polls is pretty bizarre. The fact that incumbents normally have a huge advantage doesn't mean they always do.

Also, the premise that Biden was ever losing in the primary is wrong. Iowa is a tiny state with a less diverse, more conservative electorate. And it's a caucus, which means an inherently low turnout. Iowa's importance has for decades been ridiculously overrated in Democratic primary campaigns. That is a lesson that candidates should take to heart going forward: if you do badly in Iowa, who cares? It's just Iowa.

@artmaltman The entire premise that "trade deficits" are a bad thing is also pure economic illiteracy. It is not in fact innately better to export products than to import them. Any real economists would tell you that there's nothing wrong with a nation importing more than it exports.

It's amazing that only one cop at the Capitol remembered that he had a gun. Would've played out completely differently if the rioters had been of a different skin color.

@YUMLiberalTears You get called racist because you are racist.

@Sixshotz1337 The right is trying very hard to make sure it doesn't exist anymore.

@jiayangshao4736 You're completely deranged if you think there's any scenario where 100 million or 120 million people would've voted for Trump. Trump was already unpopular long before COVID-19 existed. Your claim that without COVID we would've had 3 to 4% GDP growth in 2020 is just silly. Trump had promised that level of growth as a candidate, but he never achieved it because his economic policies were in fact terrible. The low unemployment was simply the economy continuing to coast along on the already incredibly low unemployment that Obama had produced. We were already on pace for another recession even before the pandemic hit. 12 years between recessions is an exceptionally long gap, it's something that almost never happens. Which just illustrates how robust the Obama economic recovery was. The claim that Trump made huge gains among black voters and that Hispanics and Asians turned away from the Democratic Party is also a lie. The reality is that while Trump had an increase in the raw number of black people voting for him compared to George W. Bush, that's simply because 2020 had the highest voter turnout of any election in over a century. Biden and the Democrats made even bigger gains, hence Biden winning. Oh, and minor point, but Trump got 74 million votes. Even among those of you Republicans who are willing to admit that he lost, you try to make it seem closer than it really was by claiming the election was 80 million to 75 million instead of the reality of 81 million to 74 million. Shaving 2 million votes off of Trump's margin of defeat.
