02:03 <@aestetix> Sigh.
02:03 <@aestetix> Why do so many people think that everything needs to be political
02:03 <@aestetix> Had an argument with someone, and got tired of him, started giving ridiculous examples, and it was amazing how he would try to turn it into being political
02:04 <@aestetix> Even the most benign stuff, like buying a soda at the store.
02:04 <@aestetix> At a certain point that attitude becomes a mental illness.

06:33 <@Dolemite> mr0ning, be0tches and h0ez!
06:33 <@Dolemite> aestetix: Only fascists call it soda!
06:45  * aestetix hugs Dolemite 
06:45 <@aestetix> oh sorry. Do real patriots call it pop?
06:54 <@Evilpig> aestetix: it's coke.  there is no other.
06:56 <@Dolemite> I hate to do so, but I fervently agree with Evilpig
06:58 <@Dolemite> I believe "pop" is the Communist term
06:59 <@aestetix> oh ok

08:46 <@dc0de> yo, what it be like?
08:52 <@_NSAKEY> aestetix: The inverse to that is some clowns on r/libertarian trying to insist that the Michigan militia's plot to kidnap the governor and start a civil war was somehow not political.
08:58 <@aestetix> wait what
08:58 <@aestetix> how is that not political
09:01 <@_NSAKEY> Mental gymnastics and eating too much paste that contained lead in grade school, I imagine.
09:01 <@_NSAKEY> It got brigaded lightly, and it does seem like it's only one stupid person on reddit, but still.

09:02 <@_NSAKEY> That guy probably rode the short bus to school.
09:03 <@aestetix> A plot to kidnap a politician. I am assuming, due to her politics. How is that not political, by definition
09:03 <@aestetix> ugh
09:04 <@_NSAKEY> At this point, the only good trump supporters are the ones who have died of coronavirus.
09:05 <@_NSAKEY> The ones that are left all seem to be at a similar level of crazy/stupid.
09:24 <@Evilpig> I glance at facebook and see seas of posts of pro-trumpers with accusations about democrats and biden all with links to websites that have no sources but link to each other as supporting evidence
09:24 <@_NSAKEY> I wonder how many of those were created by Russians.
09:24 <@Evilpig> I could spend weeks debunking this crap back to source material but the filth spreading knuckle draggers will have moved on to their next fake news point and won't care
09:25 <@_NSAKEY> Right, because they're just in it for virtue signalling to their tribe. It's all bad faith arguments.
09:25 <@aestetix> Evilpig: you don't even need evidence for this one. It is common sense. Kidnapping a politician is political.
09:25 <@Evilpig> for that one, yes
09:26 <@_NSAKEY> That guy's just one drop of urine in a vast ocean of piss.

09:26 < PigBot> BREAKING: Joe Biden is the Subject of Federal Criminal Investigation Into His Role in Spygate and Activities in Ukraine (at www.thegatewaypundit.com)
09:26 <@aestetix> It's funny because I usually see this kind of nonsense on the left. But I guess that's because I know (or knew) a ton of people on the west coast.
09:26 <@_NSAKEY> Smells like dictator stuff to me, Evilpig.
09:27 <@aestetix> But it definitely sounds like the right wing is just as bad, if not worse.
09:27 <@Evilpig> links like that come with comments of "It's all up to all of us to make this public because the main stream fake media will not touch it."
09:28 <@_NSAKEY> On the bright side, if this NPR map is accurate, Mango Man could win all the toss-up states and still lose the election. https://www.npr.org/2020/10/09/921596963/npr-electoral-map-biden-lead-widens-again-with-less-than-a-month-to-go

09:29 <@Evilpig> I gotta get my ballot sent in
09:30 <@_NSAKEY> I volunteered to be a poll worker, but haven't heard anything back. With TN voter registrations being up, I'm expecting chaos and fuckery at the polls.
09:30 <@Evilpig> gotta do my part to ditch mitch
09:30 <@Evilpig> I don't think mcgrath has the backing to get him out though
09:30 <@_NSAKEY> And that's assuming the doom bloggers are wrong about mango man having ballot boxes seized.
09:31 <@_NSAKEY> Yeah, you guys are likely stuck with that diseased turtle.
09:31 <@_NSAKEY> Our best bet for replacing McConnell is coronavirus.
09:32 <@_NSAKEY> Also, the fact that Texas is in play is hilarious.
09:55 <@Dolemite> Our best bet for castrating McConnell is making his party the minority party, again
09:56 <@Dolemite> Once he's powerless, I think he'll stop getting re-elected
10:54 <@aestetix> Do you really want Schumer controlling the senate?
10:55 <@Dolemite> He's old, he'll die off soon enough
10:55 <@aestetix> Fair enough
10:55 <@Dolemite> What I want is term limits for Congress
