I am beginning to become scared that Romney/Ryan will win. Can smart people please post here and say reassuring things to convince me that he won't?

y'know, I love the term "to service debt". it makes it sound like our national debt is regularly receiving blowjobs

it is, didn't you know?

you want happy ending?

OK, I'm feeling pretty confident that Obama has a real lead in Ohio, but this stuff is making me feel extremely nervous:

Just gotta hope the vote fraud is less than a percent or two I guess, US Politics 2012

what happens if the exit polls show something completely different than the official results?

i am not swayed by Ari Feld

that shit makes me nervous as hell, but i'd hope that a US president is not without recourse if it even remotely looks like the outcome of his re-election was tampered with

re: ohio voting machines

response to the ohio voting software stuff

I'm cautiously reassured

Ok we can go back to worrying about the provisional ballot thing

I'd like to think no entity has the actual power/balls to successfully tamper with election results

figure that every time out there's some mercenary who dumps a couple hundred dem ballots in the trash and tbh it's probably balanced out by another mercenary doing the same to repub ballots.

big conspiracies don't usually work out so good because people are generally incompetent

saw that shit happen on battlestar galactica xp

Note that all of the big spikes on 538 are to the right of 288 = Obama most likely won't need it. Which will be handy, because it could be a long time before that state is actually settled.

Then you know there were shenanigans, correct? Isn't that what happened to Kerry in '04 in Ohio?

constant "yer into feeling SUPERIOR" sneer thrown at you /= constant "yer into feeling SUPERIOR" sneer thrown at minor-party voters

<3 you balls but this is bullshit, sneering condescension toward minor-party voters is pretty consistent among Democrats. Also the "you want happy ending" line a couple posts later is a li'l racist maybe don't perpetuate bogus-ass Asian stereotype "hilarious" accent bullshit? cool thanks

<3 you balls, butt,

lol

this is bullshit, sneering condescension toward minor-party voters is pretty consistent among Democrats.

and annoyance with morbz is pretty consistent on ilx, outside of political threads

the democratic party is hardly the first thing i knew morbz felt superior to

There ought to be a poll.

fair enough aero though lol @ you having wen jiabao's back

I thought everyone knew aero was in the politburo

gay silver bumped obama up to 91% tonight

the politburrito stalls (xpost)

We vote for Obama. Technocratic neoliberalism is preferable to theocratic neoconservatism, at this early stage before True History begins.

oracle speaks

are you seriously telling people to vote against the first android candidate for a major party?

Power to the decline of people, right on. xxp

a banaka post is auspicious like a f-15 flyover before kickoff imo

When Romney loses I hope Guitar Center gets the credit.

banaka endorsement seals this for obama imo

some concern ought to be expressed wrt banaka's motives for deigning to engage with the individuo-plebiscitic-conscientuous-ameliorative model of 'representative' 'democracy' and whether unpure elements are subverting banaka from within

Infecting all voting machines as we speak.

what is even happening now

The most important erection of USA's life

the true path banakan ideology would consider the rigged voting machine as the only article of hope in the abyss, promising as it does the crushing of whimsical feelgood sentiment by the crystalline instrumental logic of the autophagous parasite-host that is capital prior to the singularity

will we even have elections after the singularity, wouldn't we just all vote for ourselves and then get on with resonating with the music of the spheres or w/e

that and hunting down subterranean humans iirc

platonic form of democracy is exercised in the moment that we collectively vote to upload our consciousness to the singularity and that ends history

The Singularity implies a quasi-religious eschatological event i.e. "the Rapture for geeks", beyond which one can only speculate. We do not choose to speak of our project in those terms.

Trying to follow these four different threads...is like the Seinfeld where the four of them are in four different movie theatres.
