Have you considered that you might not be getting a very representative view of what's going on from those accounts?

There is nothing going on, i just love seeing liberal meltdowns, just funny how random people starting to election deny on the other side (which i predicted long before). You don't think that on January 6th those lunatics will try to prevent certification in congress?

Kari Lake was kicked out everywhere she ran, And it's funny that you're talking about election denying after trump won, doing a bit of election denying ourselves are we?

I'm talking about how his denying the loss in 2020 fueled this. Pretty sure that you know that very well (it's just about half an hour since you replied to me saying that people on both sides claiming the other one cheated are fools)

I don't doubt that stupidity after 2020 fueled this, not saying people were right, for a while i was part of those people but then i stopped and thought about everything and realized that it's just dumb, Biden did win and that was that (Actually happy that it happened, based on what's about to happen)

 

And yes i know that people think that some senate races were "stolen" or some house races, doesn't mean that they were (kinda glad Lake lost, she's a lunatic, Arizona should get someone much better for the next governor and senate race)

I do not. I have no clue what part of the left you're looking at right now, but as someone who leans left I don't recognize anybody I know in what you're saying.

 

People are very much in wound licking and internal recrimination mode, there is no apetite to fight at the moment, and there likely won't until Trump oversteps on something (which every president inevitably does).

 

The mood on the left is very, very different than it was in 2016 and for some reason it doesn't seem like the right is picking up on it at all.

 

There is genuinely not a lot of crying is goign on this time, sorry to dissapoint. You can obviously find it if you want, bit country and whatnot, but if you're trying to get a pulse on how people on the left are feeling chasing the few people who are crying isn't going to help you.

Maybe it's on the normal left, mostly those "influencers" who go on tiktok and share their "amazing" life are woke gen z who often listen to media like gospel and when Rachel Maddow tells them that orange hitler won, it's time to lose their shit, shave their head and move to Canada

Really? want a link to about a million tiktok videos where those lunatics say trump cheated? i have a feeling it will not end there

People saying Trump didn't actually win these elections are just as annoying and dumb as the people who said Trump actually won the 2020 elections, yes, we agree on that. I still have hope this time it won't turn into an attempted coup, though.

This reminds me that I've actually not heard anything from Rachelle Maddow since she made a podcast series about Spiro Agnew last year. I've actualy not even heard what her take on the election is.

 

Millenial and Gen Z liberals are pretty disconnected from what goes on on cable news tbh. Of all the mainstream media figures John Oliver probably has the best pulse on what the left of center Millenials think and feel, based on my experience with a *lot* of left leaning Millenials (I don't know all that many Gen Zers persoanlly so less comfortable commenting on them).

Unrelated, but I don't feel all that bad about the extend to which I predicted this election wrong.

 

It turns out I live and vote in the only state that went more for Harris than for Biden. So I did, in fact, have a pretty good pulse on the public opinion in my state. It's just that Washington state was moving one way and the rest of the country was moving the opposite direction.

    • Just discovered this site which has replays of the event:   https://www.asiangameshub.com/events/harbin-2025  
    • Mixed bag - sometimes it means they're concentrating on individual medals.
    • 55th place for  Duda in today's U23 sprint qualifying. That's 11 points for Brazil in the ranking, alright, but more importantly for us: 11 points that @brunamouracan definitely make up in Trondheim.   Make up, you say? Yeah, here is the double situation: we want Brazil to get in the top-30 and have a second ticket, obviously, since it increases everyone's chance, including Bruna's. However, if Brazil has two tickets, the federation has decided that the first one will go to whoever gets the most points for the nations ranking. Duda is the only junior/U23 athlete who is in the fight for the Olympics, and therefore she obviously has a massive advantage simply because of her age - she can start in the U23 world championships, after all. She'll have the sprint, interval and mass start races to score points, plus the mixed relay.   That is quite a big points haul that is hard to overtake, considering she will of course also compete in Trondheim. The good thing about Trondheim is that, at least according to the federation's own rules, Duda is out of the team sprint, and so Bruna can make up quite a bit of points there. Finish way ahead of her in the sprint and the 10k as well, and the Schilpario points can be made up.   In other words, mixed feelings: we need Duda to do well in Schilpario, because of Brazil getting in the top-30, but we also need her not to do that well, or else a potential second ticket will simply be hers by virtue of being young enough to compete in the U23 world championships.   By the way, if Brazil ends up with 1 ticket, it will depend entirely on their internal rankings, which Bruna is leading with a large margin at the moment.
    • It's OCA, why we should be surprised
    • Besides the incredible sport result by finishing 4th at the World Championship,  national team managed to do the unthinkable: to gather portuguese people's attention to a sport other than football, so much that the semi final against Denmark was the most viewed tv show of the day in Portugal.   In fact, to be able to make the Prime Minister and the President of the country to go to the bronze medal match of a sport that is not football truly reveals how this guys made this event popular in our country.   Yesterday they landed back in  and this was the reception:             Yes of course this looks like a joke next to Croatia celebrations, but you need to understand this is a 100% football-only country so having someone besides the players families waiting for them in the airport is already big enough for , so this one was really nice      
    • Isn't Argentina literally always there?     I'm only missing Belgium this time  
    • I had totally missed it, but Tereza Nova suffered a bad crash in training for the Garmisch downhill a bit over a week ago, and was kept in a coma. Can't find anything more recent, not sure that's a good sign or not...
    • Start lists for the mixed team are out. Argentina and Ukraine will compete today, a nice surprise, at last for me.   Here the bracket:   vs vs vs   vs vs vs
    • Yeah that's even worse. The sports should be confirmed at least like 6-7 years before the Olympics and the actual program really should be confirmed before the preceding Olympics. I know they don't, but they really should.
