Support NeoGAF

[Knuckle Sandwich]

Yes, it is weird, I did not follow Obama vs. Romney and Obama vs. McCain much at all (I was very young, like something around 17 and 13 years old), but I remember I supported Obama.

But this election is between Hillary and Orange Hitler.

We do have a king and Im actually against the monarchy.

It's a good thing to be against since monarchies have no place in modern times. Start the revolution. It's up to you.

 

[Joeytj]

The fact that we have a Watergate-style hacking event being operated along with a clear push from a foreign country to swing the election in its favor and we have almost no major media talking about it is absolutely insane to me.

For real.

I was catching up to Designated Survivor yesterday and SPOILERS:

Spoiler

The FBI director's face when Maggie Q's character convinces him that people within the U.S. government helped plan the attack on the Capitol, is of utter shock and disbelief.

I wonder if anybody in the FBI, CIA or Obama administration in general had the look on their faces when it became clear that a major party's candidate for president is very likely being influenced by Putin himself, along with all the other meddling in the U.S. election.

 

[TheFatOne]

I mean it gives the perfect excuse to clean house and not make it look like a partisan witch hunt.

It's still hard because even though you are in the right the media will cry foul, and play it up for a story. Then, the GOP machine will try to kick in and smear the shit out of you. Thankfully they have been doing that to her since the beginning of time, and she will be more than prepared for their bullshit.

 

[Plinko]

I find it interesting that Trump's major bump in Michigan (now down 4 points, within MOE) is mostly from Gary Johnson supporters.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

there's no oppo. Cesare betrayed us.

The only thing left is to abandon our posts and flee for our lives.

 

[maquiladora]

I don't believe this DNC story. Way too clickbait-y.

Clickbait? The article is by David Corn. He is legit.

David Corn of Mother Jones will receive the George Polk Award for Political Reporting for a story that rocked the nation and perhaps cost Mitt Romney the Presidential election. Through persistent digging and careful negotiation with a source, Corn secured a full recording of Romney at a $50,000-a-plate Florida fundraiser declaring that 47 percent of Americans — those who back president Obama — are “victims” who are “dependent upon government” and “pay no income tax.” Corn worked for weeks to obtain the recording, but it was his years of high-impact journalism that helped lead him to the source of the recording. Furthermore, it was Corn’s extensive previous reporting on Romney that convinced the source to trust him with its release

 

[Codeblue]

Its so they can get the Ten Commandments back out on the capital "legally"

Almost as dumb as that Sharia law ban not too long ago.

Guess the courts will have to correct the voters again.

EXPLAIN THE LACKO O' THE OPPO!

Yeah, that's why I edited it to say Comey stays and is the one who cleans house.

Nah he's gone. Clinton will take the hit. She knows what republicans are, and she's not going to take the chance of having the FBI leading witch hunts the entire time she is president. You can't have these fuckers as the head of the FBI at the moment which is incredibly depressing.

 

[Plinko]

Why are Russia and Wikileaks trying to get Trump elected? Because they think he'd ruin the country?

 

[Fox318]

Isn't this an urban legend as McMahon was never the polling favorite in either 2010 or 2012?

I swear I heard that in an NPR piece but now you've got me questioning it.

 

[Fragamemnon]

Clickbait? The article is by David Corn. He is legit.

I don't doubt the reporter, but I doubt that the device actually had the intent that was reported to the FBI, much less the intent that it was recording information.

 

[Debirudog]

Can we somehow fuck up Russia's elections in return or do something bad to them. It's only fair.

 

[Ithil]

Oh god, a PAC ad with a bunch of doctors saying Trump has a better plan for healthcare, then one doctor saying Hillary Clinton's plan is "the wrong prescription."

I fucking laughed so hard.

Were they wearing lab coats? They always do that for these sorts of ads.

 

[TestOfTide]

Nah. We can hit two birds with one stone by just shipping the deplorables all to Russia.....preferably in giant baskets.

 

[Spiritreaver]

Standing in line to vote early in Oklahoma. Looking at the ballot online, there's what appears to be a repeal of separation of church and state.

We have some great stuff on the ballot this year, but that death penalty question is a total joke.

Podesta story debunked

Thats just what the globalist neo-liberal media wants you to think.

Podesta story debunked

People taking wikileaks drips at face value will now have to contend that wikileaks emails later refute the story.

Oh thank god it was debunked. It looked real for a while there.

Also, if they were winning, do you think they would be doing this? Remember in 2008 that Hannity had an hour-long weekend special on Obama's radical black church that does SCARY STUFF.

Yeah. Scrolling down there was a good amount of "What? Is this a real question?"

Hopefully we can fund education at least.

 

[WatTsu]

Voted early. +1 for HRC in WI as well as the downballot Dems. I'll miss the thrill of going out on Election Day but this was so much faster and more convenient.

 

[FIREKNIGHT2029]

WTF is this OPPO everyone keeps mentioning?!?!

 

[JetBlackPanda]

So this is basically the FBI?

It's Oklahoma State Legislator, "dumb" is the one thing they do constantly.

it will be good when we never have to use stupid fake words for beltway dorks like oppo and nothingburger ever again

 

[Fox318]

At least you have some new scrabble words.

nothingburger can reach 2 triple word score spaces

 

[Finale Fireworker]

One always hated "nothingburger".

What a stupid term to catch on.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

WTF is this OPPO everyone keeps mentioning?!?!

A NeoGAF poster who worked with Obama's campaign before and some Republican strategists and campaign managers and Ben Carson had said for months that were two stories dug up by Hillary's campaign that were worse than "grab them by the pussy." These were referred to as the "oppo." The last few hours were the last possible time they could have shown up.

No oppo??? Bullshit.

I'm going to go back in time 45 minutes to warn everyone so we don't get worked up for nothing.

This is a masterful play. What a payoff.

Mind travelling back a few weeks instead?

CNN lied. Beyoncé is back on for tonight:

@TheBeyhiveTeam: EXCLUSIVE: CNN is wrong! We confirmed with a source in Beyoncé's camp she will perform at the #GetOutTheVote concert for @HillaryClinton https://twitter.com/TheBeyHiveTeam/status/794647254535700480/photo/1

The time machine isn't that precise. It's best to travel in small increments.

 

[Debirudog]

if she won FL, we're good.

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

"nothingburger" is the worst. WHO SAYS THAT.

 

[PantherLotus]

oppo = opposition research = an actual discipline where political people, researchers, private investigators, etc will do a bunch of background checks on an opponent. basically sifting through every single thing the opponent touched in their lives.

an oppo dump is when those findings are leaked to media outlets at a well-timed moment. alicia machado is an example of an oppo dump, perhaps the best in recent memory, assuming 47% and swiftboating don't count. (47% wasn't oppo it was a leak, swiftboating was twisting well-known controversy).

 

[Iolo]

Oh damn I just remembered, Obama was elected November 4, 2008. It's been eight years now

Obama rally in Grant Park 8 years ago, Cubs rally in Grant Park today. Coincidence?

 

[Atlagev]

CNN is a fucking mess.

Nothingburger has existed long before this election and it will remain long after.

Wait I legit thought everyone knew she was an artist and they were just being glib?

I mean, I assume some repubs out there probably thought John Podesta was literally summoning the devil, but people knew she was an artist and this was about her kickstarter dinner right?

 

[Black Mamba]

I'm sorry, but 538's model makes no sense.

I was going to make a long post today on why his model sucks...but the above image goes far beyond what I know is wrong with his model.

The above is nonsensical. Nate's reputation is going to take a massive hit on the 9th.

edit: Actually, it's probably the result of the Loess regression again. Which just shows how fucking stupid it is.

 

[HTupolev]

if she won FL, we're good.

But what if Trump wins NV, AZ, CO, PA, NC, NH, ME-2, IA, and OH?

We definitely need to keep panicking.
