I have this feeling Jesse Singal is actually red-pilled, but just can't admit it because he'll lose everything.

Notice how he has to virtue signal that even though JP isn't literally hitler, he still sucks and is a pseudo-intellectual. Even if true, how is it even relevant to the story?

Maybe Singal can't even admit it to himself that he's no longer part of the orthodoxy. Yeah he's totally part of the real "left", the real "normal liberals" and it's not the SJWs who now represent the left. Keep telling yourself that man.

Bill is saying that you should be alarmed because of some sort of TDS thinking.

OP is saying that it indicates Bill and/or "The deep state" is afraid, because Trump might put a puppet or something in that position or something.

But really, both Bill and the OP are playing a team sport, and any implied or stated reasons for alarm or being afraid are actually just covers for tribalism.

How do you know that those 10 million are primarily turning up for Trump, and not turning up because they hate Trump with a burning passion?

We all live in our little bubbles, both online and in the real. If you visit thedonald, they're expecting a huge blowout for Trump. If you visit r/politics, they're expecting a huge blowout for Biden. Who is right? They can't both be right. Your county as you acknowledge is also a bubble. This sub is a bubble (although one forced on us).

Let me give you a few counter-observations:

  1. You say the media polls were hugely wrong, but that's not entirely the case. 538 gave Trump a 30% chance to win on election day. That's better odds than flipping heads a coin twice. So while the polls may have been off, they weren't actually hugely off and well within the margin of error. And the polls this time are a far wider for Biden than they were last time.

  2. You said that Trump might get 15% of the black vote... but last time was Hillary, and this time it's Obama's VP and Kamala Harris who is actually black herself.

  3. Visiting the relatives in middle-ish washington (near the cascades) should be solidly red. But I'm seeing a far more Biden signs than there were Hillary signs in 2016. Anecdote for sure, a bubble... but still.

Mate, I hope you are right, but I fear you are engaging in wishful thinking. Mostly, I think you are underestimating how much people HATE Trump and are turning up to vote purely for that reason when they ordinarily wouldn't.

"Trump 2020 motherfuckers!"

The event began with Trump supporters marching through New York with an enormous "thin blue line" banner that says "Trump: Law and order."

Isn't it crazy how far more "diverse" the Trump march was compared with the usual antifa?

The fact that you know this person is a bit hmm.

I want to see more of this:

Utah BLM and Proud Boys leaders hold joint press conference calling for unity in America

A black dude has to give a press conference that he's not a white supremacist ?

But seriously this is pretty heartwarming. Things are so amped up, it doesn't matter right now which side is right or wrong. Being able to talk to each other is the place we need to get to.

I'm just saying a feminist game or antifa game or whatever can still be technically good.

It's a fallacy to think that only art you politically agree with can be good.

It's possible to separate the quality of an art from the political opinion of an art.

I don't actually see a problem with this one in particular. It is actually something an English speaking cross-dresser might say.

The game is basically you're a steam punk neo-antifa and you go around murdering anti-orc/anti-troll racists. Pretty much murder porn (at least so far in the game).

The comparisons between orcs/trolls and brown people is the most blatant, hamfisted and cringey shit you'll ever see.

That said, it is a fun little tactical CRPG if you can get past the cringe.

Edit: Trolls also have max INT 6, so there's that too....
