quote [ The most disturbing thing for me about this year's election is that over 25 percent of my neighbors voted for a neo-Nazi.
Eighty years after that dark night in Europe, America’s midterms were a contest to see how much of the country could be mobilized on a basis of hysteria and mass loathing ] Beyond a blue wave there was an ugly side of America that was exposed.

After the drama of election night and fierce battles about counting votes, Florida Secretary of State Ken Detzner on Saturday ordered recounts in high-stakes races for U.S. Senate, Governor and Agriculture commissioner.
The orders, along with recounts slated in three legislative districts, were no surprise: State law requires “machine” recounts when the margins between candidates are 0.5 percent or less. As local officials continued to count ballots after Tuesday’s election, it became clear that all six of the races would fall under that requirement. The machine recounts will play out over five days, with county canvassing boards required to report results by 3 p.m. Thursday. At that point, races with margins of .25 percent or less will go to manual, or “hand,” recounts. Counties were required by noon Saturday to report unofficial results to the state. The races set for recounts are: — The U.S. Senate race between Democratic incumbent Bill Nelson and Republican Gov. Rick Scott. In the unofficial results, Scott had 4,098,107 votes, or 50.07 percent, while Nelson had 4,085,545 votes, or 49.92 percent. — The Governor’s race between Republican Ron DeSantis and Democrat Andrew Gillum. In the unofficial results, DeSantis had 4,075,879 votes, or 49.59 percent, while Gillum had 4,042,195 votes, or 49.18 percent. — The race for Agriculture Commissioner between Democrat Nikki Fried and Republican Matt Caldwell. In the unofficial results, Fried had 4,030,337 votes, or 50.03 percent, while Caldwell had 4,025,011 votes, or 49.97 percent. — The race in Hillsborough County’s state Senate District 18 between Sen. Dana Young, a Tampa Republican, and House Minority Leader Janet Cruz, a Tampa Democrat. In the unofficial results, Cruz had 104,001 votes, or 50.09 percent, while Young had 103,625 votes, or 49.91 percent. — The race in Volusia County’s House District 26 between Rep. Patrick Henry, a Daytona Beach Democrat, and Republican Elizabeth Fetterhoff. In the unofficial results, Fetterhoff had 30,591 votes, or 50.05 percent, while Henry had 30,532 votes, or 49.95 percent. — The race for an open seat in Palm Beach County’s House District 89 between Republican Mike Caruso and Democrat Jim Bonfiglio. In the unofficial results, Caruso had 39,228 votes, or 50.02 percent, while Bonfiglio had 39,191 votes, or 49.98 percent. In a machine recount, all ballots are fed through voting machines. Ballots with “undervotes” or “overvotes” — in which voters may have skipped races or made extra marks in races, causing their ballots to be rejected by the machines — are set aside, or “outstacked.” In races that go to manual recounts after the Thursday deadline, county canvassing boards will examine the “outstacked” ballots. The results from the manual recounts must be provided to the state no later than noon on Nov. 18. Two days later, the state Elections Canvassing Commission, comprised of Scott and two members of the Florida Cabinet, will meet in Tallahassee to certify the official election results. |

And the Captain Obvious award goes to the New York Times for noticing there is a divide between the Berniecrats and the 3rd way.

Kaitlan Collins Verified account @kaitlancollins With President Trump seated before him, French President Macron says, "Patriotism is the exact opposite of nationalism. Nationalism is a betrayal of patriotism. By saying 'our interests first'...we erase what a nation hold dearest...its moral values." |

Of course they were; how are you supposed to gather the intelligence needed to mount an effective resistance without being able to understand what your enemy is saying?

This is a worldwide concern.
Poland’s eurosceptic leaders marked a century of national independence on Sunday as more than 200,000 people marched through the capital in a parade involving far-right groups and neo-fascist activists from Italy. oland’s eurosceptic leaders march through Warsaw with far-right groups and neo-fascist activists |

These posts suck.
What is this post even about? What is this? Like 50 msnbc news links? What's the point of this post? I voted. That's how I "confronted nazis" as you put it. Are you "having the balls" to "confront nazis" by posting shitty mass media clips on a niche liberal website? Sorry I didn't realize I was talking to a true patriot. |

The problem is you rarely seem to want to *discuss* politics. You just post the top 20 currently trending political news articles (pro tip: everyone here has fucking internet access and knows how to use it; we don't need your help finding obvious links to the day's current events) and hope someone will comment on one so you can yell about how mad you are that Hillary lost two years ago.
