Is this "when the Democrats become the conservatives" or "when the Democrats become the socialists"?

It could happen either way.

Personally I hope for it to be "when the Democrats become the conservatives" just to make it consistent with the rest of the world's color coding of red=socialist, blue=capitalist.

Dems are outperforming 2012, Republicans are underperforming.

HB2 and Trump accelerated the conversion of NC by a good decade. It'll take longer to undo the state legislature and it's problems, but the writing is on the wall for statewide elections. Women, minorities, and white collar tech workers are dragging the kicking and screaming rural population to cosmopolitan, urban values.

we didn't get any hecklers at OSU, aside from maybe 15 trump supporters (the gathering of the cucks, as i call them) who were completely ineffectual and also halfway across the south oval

they were still standing there 3-4 hours later when i was trying to get to my friend who was doing bag check, one of them said something along the lines of "we built a wall, bro, we're gonna keep people out" while another friend of mine walked over the rope line literally right next to him. funny as shit to see

They are not themselves cucks, but that is their collective group noun.

A gaggle of geese
A pod of dolphins
A prickle of porcupines
A cuck of deplorables

Edit:
A basket of deplorables is also acceptable. I guess.
if you are a 68 year old white lady running for president.
 
A) When (day and time) and where is the Obama rally in Cleveland supposed to happen?

B) Is early voting in Ohio only done by absentee/mail ballot?

A) Definitely happening on Friday, not sure what time or where (because event info somehow hasn't gotten posted yet)

B) Absentee, or you can go to your county Board of Elections and vote in person there
 
do you happen to know if they have mailed ballots yet? I haven't gotten mine.

Contact your local BOE (I'm an Ohioan). The mailing of ballots is a rolling process. It isn't too late to request one. They've likely mailed some of the ones that have already been requested.

From my (Hamilton County) BOE:

Vote by Mail Applications must be received by the Board of Elections by noon on the third day before Election Day OR you may deliver the application in person to the Board of Elections by 5:00pm the Friday before Election Day.

Just wondering, when someone says "we need a strong conservative party and a strong liberal party to keep in check," what positive things in this country has a conservative government done?

I'm drawing a blank at something conservatives can claim as a win that wouldn't have just been better with the liberal solution.

Liberals are committed to capitalism and would rather have two parties that debate within the same framework than have one party that upsets the order they believe in.
 
I listened to a bit of Limbaugh while driving earlier.

He was on and on about how everyone is saying the race is over, then halfheartedly saying it isn't.

He can't sell the idea that Trump could win, even to himself.

He won't get it. I'm pretty sure you have to be visible on TV wearing the Bill Clinton rape shirt when you say it. $1000 if you're just chillin in the background for at least 5 seconds wearing that shirt.

lol they aren't paying anyone shit.

And quite frankly they need to learn by now these hecklers especially ones harping on about Bill clearly don't bother her.

TYT got quite the scoop of an interview

Dick Morris
One of my favorite memories of Election Night 2012 was Dick Morris being all over the place on twitter. It drove the folks at FreeRepublic bonkers. One moment he's saying that things look good for Romney, then doable, and then.. radio silence.

A few years ago I had to go through 3 weeks of radiation therapy for stuff that was going to kill me.

Man those 3 weeks felt like months. Years. Awful.

Fast forward, and this is how I feel today. This shit of an election feels like it has been a decade. One long nightmare.

I'll be glad when it's over.

When you get a party permanently in power you end up w/ serious issues due to machine politics, regardless of ideology.

Lol this was one of O'kiefs videos

A hidden camera captured a conversation with Alan Schulkin, New York City Democratic Commissioner of the Board of Elections, where the commissioner railed against voter fraud, claiming that in minority neighborhoods people vote multiple times from different polling locations. “They bus them around,” Schulkin said about certain neighborhoods. “They put them in a bus and go poll site to poll site.” When asked what kind of neighborhoods, Schulkin first said, “I don’t want to say,” but when goaded by the interviewer, who suggested black and Hispanic areas, Schulkin added, “and Chinese too.”

yeah, but why do we need a conservative party to avoid those

why can't we necessarily have functional socialist and liberal parties

(i mean aside from the obvious answer)
