> [@Knowed\_Out](#): > > What the fuck does that even mean? You’re providing GPS coordinates to GOTV offices? So the reason there wasn’t enough GOTV activity is because vote motivators didn’t know where to go? I expect it means that he’s analyzing the routes taken by people doing GOTV work and optimizing them to cover the most territory, more effectively. It’s useful data. As far as elections go - it’s exhausting listening to people freaking out because Hillary is in a race, not a divine coronation. It’s irrational. It’s ahistorical. It’s just not very bright. Call me when she barfs on the Japanese PM. ---

> [@](#): > > But here on the SDMB, the appearance is that the battle is lost because the other team still has fans! Because one guy who, I’m going to go out on a limb here, isn’t a Hillary supporter wrote an OP that she’s lost? 😕—:eek:—:smack: Seriously, the only issue I see is more complacency. Trump is such a joke on this board that he’s just not taken seriously, and the latest, greatest Hillary scandal of the week is just yawned at. Trump has been crying wolf and talking shit for so long that no one here takes him seriously enough to get all riled up. Assuming Hillary doesn’t kick the bucket she is going to hand this fool an epic smackdown of biblical proportions, and folks here pretty much know it…and so don’t take threads that seriously like the one you linked too. You seriously need to recalibrate and maybe unplug for a week or so to detox your system. And maybe up the voltage… ---

I’m a huge Clinton supporter, like her better than Sanders. I trust her, I think she’s tough, and I think all the BS about emails and other “scandals” are admitted Republican hit jobs on her. With that said, I don’t talk to people outside of the board to try to convince them of anything. Most people I know are Democrats, there’s no need to preach to the choir. I don’t use Twitter so I can’t tweet anything out to people. I don’t take her message out to anybody nor would my personality and arguing style make me a good ambassador for her views. I think its great that you’re doing it, more power to you, but some people aren’t going to be doing much more than arguing on the boards. That’s not to say I wouldn’t change how I act if I thought there was a chance of me making a difference. But I live in a super blue state and I’m convinced she’ll win in a landslide greater than Obama’s victories. So I feel fine acting the way I do on the boards ---

My side is always right > 2. The other side is full of idiots. Because both on and off the board it’s considered taboo to admit that the right wing deliberately intends to hurt people, so everyone considers themselves obliged to pretend the other side doesn’t really know what they’re doing. And since malice _is_ the top reason for the Republicans do things, that means that everyone else is constantly talking like the Republicans are stupid or insane in order to avoiding admitting that yes, they _really do_ intend to do the nasty things they do.
