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.

Usually they wait to burn the Reichstag until they're in power, but whatever.

Damn Trump shot?
His ear looked bloody.

the real depressing thing is i feel like this somehow makes brandon more likely to stay in the race now (he was absolutely toast as of earlier today), make decency or whatever the centerpiece of his campaign, and then lose all 50 states
Dude was firing out in the open, prone, from an elevated position at a stationary target and missed??? To say nothing of the morality or anything else, he ****ing sucks as an assassin.

Dems finally catch a break in the form of the Vance pick. Now maybe switch to Big Gretch so we can run the "Attempted Kidnapping" blocker here and call it a day?

apparently the final tweet of the guy who died at that rally was a reply to catturd, and ya know, it hasn't really been a conscious thing, but i've always sorta tried to live my life in a way so that kind of thing didn't happen

Not his final one, but this tweet he made last year blew up after he died.

When Nance tells you it's time, that's Goldwater telling Nixon he's only got 16 votes left. It's well and truly Joever

People give TYT **** all the time but Cenk was genuinely the first media figure who pushed for Biden to drop out. Credit there.
