The US Presidential Election Thread

[DesertRoo]

Yes, I got banned for calling out the Nazis. You want to associate with them.

lol, the more I read about it, sounds like chad honey trap..

 

[Val Keating]

Pro tip: if Putin is allowed to repeatedly 'escalate' the conflict but Ukraine isn't, then you're not really interested in a peaceful resolution. You just want Russia to "win".

Also, Putin is bluffing. He knows if he uses any sort of nuclear weapon, anywhere, he's signing his own death sentence.

Didn’t know you were a pro.

As I said, I wish I had the power you think I do.

 

[Chadwiko]

I much prefer just staying on our board anyway, it's just a shame we can't have a grown up discussion re international affairs without one poster consistently ruining it, but we are where are.

"One poster consistently ruining it", conveniently ignoring the multiple North fans that your clique has bullied out of that thread with vile abuse.

But sure. I'm the boogeyman.

 

[DesertRoo]

As I said, I wish I had the power you think I do.

I don’t think you have any power, I just think you complain a lot and you’ve found some sympathetic ears somewhere, so you want the rest of us to follow,
Yeah, nah…

 

[Chadwiko]

Yep, that's what happens when you choose to fight a big war and lose.

Get invaded

Fight back

"You chose to fight this war!"

You never hold Russia accountable, and always blame Ukraine. It's hilarious at this point.

Chad if we were to create a Devils Chessboard thread 2 'no chads allowed' do you think you would be able to refrain from posting? That would allow the rest of us to continue conversation on world events within the confides of our own echo chamber

Start a thread on a public forum, and if I see something I want to respond to I'll participate.

Go start your own private group chat if you want to control who participates.

Also... lol.

The problem with this outcome is that Ukraine lost most of it population, those who could immigrate did, who are generally the brightest and those who had nothing.
what's going to be left is a hardcore nationalist... Ukraine is going to be a crazy outpost country unless there's serious investment and/or EU style integration.

 

[DesertRoo]

Thank you for a perfect example of why the previous thread was locked; the personal abuse and toxicity is so integral to how you communicate you just can't help yourself.

dude you were racist and also demand to know who someone voted for, someone who has been around authoritarian regimes.
yeah pick up the mirror.

 

[Chadwiko]

dude you were racist

Nope.

and also demand to know who someone voted for

Only in the context of defending myself against insults.

someone who has been around authoritarian regimes.

???

yeah pick up the mirror.

I look good.

 

[DesertRoo]

Nope.

nah, you don't get to play those games...
own it

 

[Val Keating]

Has anyone read Scott Hortons book provoked yet?

Or started it anyway?

 

[Chadwiko]

nah, you don't get to play those games...
own it

Nah you don't get to make false accusations.

I love that the clique is doing exactly what the clique does though. Bring it on. You're just continuously proving my point. It's hilarious.

Are you denying you were racist to ferball ?

Are you denying you demanded to know who someone voted for?

 

[Chadwiko]

Are you denying you were racist to ferball ?

Yes.

Are you denying you demanded to know who someone voted for?

Unprovoked? Yes.
In direct response to accusations about being a "neocon" or "far-right conservative", I clearly outlined who I voted for (Greens, and Independent Progressives) and challenged you to do the same. Context is king.

Keep it up. Keep these posts coming. This is hilarious.

 

[DesertRoo]

Yes.

Neo-con was a slur in the 60/70s to people who called themselves left but ran away from workers rights and supported the war in Vietnam, familiar??

and yes you are an authoritarian by nature, you demanded to know who somebody voted for without knowing jack about why....

Context is key..

Own it

You're adorable.

 

[ferball]

Yes. The different choice is literally explained in the quote. They are supporting Ukraine with anti-aircraft systems.

For example:

Italy is gearing up to send another SAMP/T anti-aircraft missile system [SAMS] to Ukraine shortly, according to Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani. “We will send SAMP/T to protect hospitals, schools, universities,” several media outlets across Europe and worldwide reported the minister saying.

I'm not really interested in talking about this shit anymore but its worth pointing out that a neo-fascist sending arms to Ukraine isn't the win you think it is.

I don't like Meloni at all. Let's be clear. I was just pushing back on the Russian propaganda via BRICS that Italy doesn't support Ukraine. Which is simply a lie.

Also... North Korean troops are fighting alongside Russia in this conflict. That makes Italy sending some SAMS systems look irrelevant in comparison.

Whatever, don't care.

Remember when I said there was a video you should watch... and you laughed about it and said it was trump propaganda or something?

Are you surprised he won?

 

[Chadwiko]

Whatever, don't care.

You cared enough to try and make what you thought was a convincing argument.

But alright.

Remember when I said there was a video you should watch... and you laughed about it and said it was trump propaganda or something?

Eh, vaguely?

Are you surprised he won?

Are you happy he won?

 

[ferball]

Its just ironic seeing anyone celebrate anything Meloni does. I know someone who left italy with his family because of her impending election.

Eh, vaguely?



Are you happy he won?

Can't you answer a question honestly?

Are you surprised he won?

Why do you think he did?

 

[Chadwiko]

And to be clear; I wasn't doing that.

As I said, I was simply clarifying some misinformation that Val posted.

I know someone who left italy with his family because of her impending election.

Don't blame them!

Can't you answer a question honestly?

Are you surprised he won?

Why do you think he did?

I've covered this already.

Surprised he won? No.
Disappointed? Immeasurably.
Why did he win? Complex question with a lot of subjective answers.

Let’s be honest, Italy has a long history of shithouse politicians
