1. A week after the Amerikkkan election results, I was discussing how much money was wasted on the Dem candidates in Kentucky and South Carolina. In both the places, the Dem candidates lost soundly. His retort, "Have you seen the polling". MOTHER FUCKER LOOK AT THE RESULTS. THE ELECTION RESULTS ARE THE REAL POLLING. JFC

  2. We were discussing some article in the WaPo. I tell him you shouldn't trust that paper blindly it is owned by Jeff Bezos. He says "It is good, right ? He is keeping the paper independent".

My friends, libs are dangerously delusional dickwads

      You can get a free subscription to WaPo with a .edu, .gov, or .mil email address. Just some nice goodwill to public servants and surely not a desire for subtle influence on the people within those institutions.

    I suppose you cant get him to question why it seemed like such a good idea to spend so much money on an election that was lost. Tell him maybe there's a smarter way to use funds, or if you were in charge of the election, spent so much money, and lost so thoroughly then you'd be fired, right? Make him wonder why that's not the case.

    I hate talking to libs about politics, but i cant pass up the chance to have them begin questioning why some things aren't lining up with their assumptions.

      I try. During those conversations only I had to hear such nuggets of wisdom.

    Libs are real good at creating entire mind palaces to wander within so that their precious ideology can never be contested with.

    Amy McGrath never polled closer to McConnell.

    I think Jamie Harrison had better polling against Lindsey Graham, but by the time election rolled around Graham had a lead.
