Political Discussion

Can you talk to HR about this? Sounds like you’re being subjected to a hostile work environment and that’s just wrong.
I have talked to both owners and they aren't willing to confront him. It's a small company and they don't like to rock the boat about most things. I've been here 32 years and haven't thought seriously about leaving until this year, it's so bad lately.
 
The recount in Florida 2000 The ballot lead was decreased by a big chunk (though it never put Gore over the top) of Bush’s total.
This is something that I didn't know the full details of until recently. For whatever reason I thought Gore was up in Florida all these years and that the SCOTUS reversed it. To be fair, I was 9 at the time, but I always thought it was stolen.

I mean if you wanna say it was stolen I would not dispute it. The ballots were completely fucked 80 year old Jewish lady’s were mistakenly voting for Pat Buchanan. They had reduced Bush’s lead already by a couple thousand votes and I think the media continued the recount after the the SCOTUS ended it and found enough to move Gore into the lead. Bush’s brother was Governor of the state at the time all this shit was going down also.

There's a pretty good HBO movie called "Recount" about it. Who knows how 100% accurate it is but it gives you a good idea.
 
Usually and results have gone both ways. The recount in Florida 2000 The ballot lead was decreased by a big chunk (though it never put Gore over the top) of Bush’s total
There was a problem with the voting machines in Florida in 2000. They often did not punch the holes clmpletely and those votes were than not counted. Manually recounting the votes where it was obvious what the voter intended was what changed the nj bereits than. That's why the gop wantex to stop that recount

Wasn't there also some confusion over which hole lined up to which candidate?

Yup and the term “hanging chad” will forever be apart of our lexicon moving forward because of it.
 
I think it´s great to engage in the way you did,. You stated your point, asked for explanations from his in a matter that does not let you be dismissed as a troll. I think it is important for representatives to get the message that there are people out there that they represent
so, uh, to be clear- my tactic of regularly drunk dialing the offices of all my representatives since June is maybe not the best way to engage?


not joking. well, I am about the rhetorical question, but at some point this summer, a contact card labeled "satan's helpers" ended up in my phone with the numbers for all my government reps, federal to local. since then I have left many a message to Ted Cruz, and I believe some of them were very coherent.

I deleted twitter off my phone two days ago but I need to stop visiting it at work. Just doomscrolling non-stop from people.

"Coup" "Sedition" This is bad"

no

Twitter is just soundbites of misunderstood information.

This reply to a person screaming "coup" is helpful.

Still incredibly fucked that greater than 2 in ten don't. Not a small number.
Obviously this is different but I was fairly dejected following Trump’s election in 2016. I have a feeling if someone asked me less than a week after the results were announced if I accepted the results I might have replied in some effect that Trump “was not my President”. By no means did I ever think the results were in dispute but my emotions were certainly raw. The difference of course is the President activity egging this on and his followers total disregard for reputable media.

"He's not my president" =/= "he won the election."

Trump was.never my president, period. He did not get elected by me and his actions showed that I was not his constituent.
