Election 2020 Election 2020: It's (almost) over! (maybe...possibly...ahh who are we kidding, it's 2020!)

Well, this went to hell again.

The Staff would like to remind everyone of Rules 0.b, 1.f and 2. There will not be further warnings.

Ok, for what it's worth.

Was talking with a liberal friend of mine who is as scared as I am of the rhetoric coming from his own side of late. He wasn't a Trump fan, but he's convinced that we've left 50% of the country in the dust with the new information economy and all that came with it. We screwed flyover country hard for a long time, and left them with no future. And naturally, when Trump came along, he promised someone was going to be made to feel their pain. Naturally, it resonated. His fear? That unless the Dems start really meaning the unity talk (and he's not convinced they do either?) and really listening to the forgotten half of the country, we'll face a real domestic crisis. I can't help but agree.

To me, when the coasts tell flyover country "Learn to Code, Bruh!" I am left thinking it's like Marie Antionette telling the Vendee "Let them eat cake."

So far everybody has been very good about keeping everything civil, keep it up! We are showing that it is indeed possible to disagree without leaping across the table to throttle each other. The mod staff is hopeful that this will continue!

As always the mod staff is here to address any questions or concerns.

Thanks and please return to your regularly scheduled debate.

Hi all, we mods understand the frustration over the recent SCOTUS decisions. They're beyond frustrating. That said, can we please not have comments like "The demand for 'white supremacist' violence currently far outstrips its supply?" It's not helping. Things are crazy enough as it is and we as a community do not need to contribute to it.
