[2020-11-26 15:57:36] <Z-Man> Woudn't you also need a significant number of delegates in the senate or house to be able to excert pressure on the president you made with your Texas takeover plan? That's how it works in countries with proportional representation, the smaller parites in the government still are in parliament and of the big partner does something that goes against previous agreements, they can drop their support. [2020-11-26 15:58:21] <Z-Man> Happy day before black friday or something, yeah! Can't you just be proud of your country without getting darkly political, shesh?

By being a swing state, and already being the second most populous state, we have a lot of electoral votes. So to win Texas, if we became a swing state, both parties would have to make an appeal that works for Texas [2020-11-26 17:27:38] <Lucifer_arma> as far as forcing concessions, that's only really possible if we can run our own candidate who gets enough electoral votes to deny 270 to the winner, and both other candidates are close enough that we can choose which candidate to award them to [2020-11-26 17:28:28] <Lucifer_arma> and I'm fine having a more personal day of gratitude, which is what I typically actually do. I make it darkly political because I think we need a day where we at least look at the reality of that particular part of our history, and the Thanksgiving myth that we have is so contrary to that history [2020-11-26 17:28:58] <Lucifer_arma> I am trying to make every day more gracious, though, because that's how you avoid addiction and being an asshole otherwise. [2020-11-26 17:29:30] <Lucifer_arma> besides, at this point, my wishing everyone a happy genocide day has been going on long enough that it might as well be a Thanksgiving tradition :) [2020-11-26 21:34:17] <-- Z-Man has quit (Ping timeout: 260 seconds) [2020-11-26 21:38:57] --> Z-Man has joined the channelView entire month
