SE Hoya Containment Thread (aka Politics)
Welcome to the Official SE Politics Thread. The aim here is for high quality political discussion and debate. The concomitant aim here is for that high quality discussion and debate to NOT devolve into MAD posting, BAD posting, trolling, name-calling our community fracture.
We embark on this project hoping to encourage fair and thorough exchanges of views, and also fair and thorough advocacy for positions. We should learn a lot.
Rules
1. Posters are required to have 50 posts in SE over the last 365 days. This thread is not a proxy for the Politics forum, or an arena for goal-based issue advocacy from people we don't even know.
2. Pure devil's advocacy will not be tolerated unless it is identified by that poster as the aim of the particular post. There will be no run of the mill nitpickery for the sake of nitpickery.
3. This will be enforced loosely, but you are obligated to outline your basic position on whatever issue you're debating. We will not have loaded, gotcha-style internet-standard race to the bottom terrible posting in this thread. That does not mean you have to state every closely-held belief in every debate. You just can't hide the ball. "I'm not sure what my position is" is a completely valid position to hold.
4. Insults are out. You will not resort to that in this thread, because that will ruin this thread.
5. If you demonstrate an ongoing commitment to lowering the quality of discourse through incessant trolling or simply being really terrible, you'll be removed from this thread.
6. These are subject to significant revision as this thread develops.
There is a tradition in SE of better, fuller, funnier discussion of a really wide range of topics. Let's continue that here.
occasionally the defector headline guy kills it
Report: Aaron Rodgers Being Considered For Dream Job As Attention-Getting Loser
only seems possible if he retires from football, no? could see him doing it in that case, he could then be on tv every day ranting about whatever! his true passion
anyway don't think you have to sweat this rt, to the extent that rfk matters (~none), he prob hurts trump
Rfk is a joke who I don't follow.
Is married to Cheryl from Curb I know.
Larry David is a genius for making her look smart in the show.!
If I get myself smoked cuz I hurt clownass dipshit’s feelings, y’all cool
idk why fraudgers is denying being a sandy hook truther ... do you wanna be a crank 3rd party spoiler veep or not? you gotta lean full into all your insanity here, man
guessing they haven't talked about jfk/rfk yet though, because he def has some thoughts there too lol
What’s hilarious is Karen has such a god complex that I doubt he can resist taking RFK up as his running mate. And I cannot wait to watch him ether his career and pidgeonhole himself as, at best, a lifelong newsmax contributor
I can’t even imagine how much life sucks as a Jets fan
it's fun to go dunk on people there for awhile, but eventually you see yourself 15-20 posts deep in an argument with a couple Ian Miles Cheong's who might not have even been to the united states about how US immigration policy should be and you gotta be like, "what am i doing here?" and just take a hiatus.
yeah thats about where i'm at every time i look in there and am tempted to correct or troll something, whats the point? i instead will do literally anything else with my life and profit

politards:
It's not against policy to state opinions that arent backed up by facts. There is no requirement for posters to provide answers that you find satisfactory.
the only purpose of that cesspool is to contain all the full-blown ebolaids, thats it. gods work, perhaps
Ya I recognize I have nobody but myself to blame posting there
It’s like eating a Cinnabon. At the time it feels great but within seconds of being done all you feel is shame and pointlessness

I follow politics very very loosely and I'll learn a thing or two in there from time to time. But my god, my ignore list is getting so big it's really hard to follow along with most of the threads without viewing some of the ignored posts. And why would I want to do that? And now I want Cinnabon. Thanks SRM

I do wonder who L.uc.1u,m is. sounds a lot like Toothsayer but doesnt incessantly brag about his awesome personal life so proly not.
In a document labeled “these are all random probably bad ideas that aren’t vetted,” SBF considered going on Tucker Carlson to “come out as a republican” and “come out against the woke agenda.”
The prosecution kindly requests the maximum please.
Shoutout nbc for what has to be:
1. The most confusingly stupid hire ever
2. The most confusingly stupid reactive firing ever

I'll take that bet if you're interested. RFK O/U 1.9% (feels right to give you the extra 0.9% to be sporting). Feels like we should work in a bonus for every state in which his margin is > the deciding margin.
Really tho you'd be betting on ballot access so you're probably a fav
Marilyn Lands, a Democrat, won a special election Tuesday for a State House seat in Alabama after campaigning on access to abortion and in vitro fertilization, underscoring the continued political potency of reproductive rights.
Ms. Lands defeated her Republican opponent, Teddy Powell, by about 25 percentage points — an extraordinary margin in a swing district where she lost by seven points in 2022. The special election was called when David Cole, the Republican who had held the seat, resigned and pleaded guilty to voter fraud.
Lol that last line
