Hey the election was stolen don't you agree?
Well of cooooooooooourse not! Despite Trump rallies being full and no one showing up to Biden raliies and Biden picking fights with people who challenge him and sniffing kids and has dementia I totally believe 80 million+ people voted for him! The most popular president ever! There was absolutely no fraud in the election whatsoever and who ever agrees is clearly a red neck white supremacist Trump supporting nazi bigot!

Okay, we had our laughs at POLtemp, now we can get back to Scott and his predicament, if you could call it that, since he willingly stepped down and has plans for the future of the series anyway. Sounds to me like it was exhausting to him at this stage, it's nice that he didn't get too rattled by all this and chose to carry on doing what brings him joy - making games for his kids. Heartwarming.

Well at least his kids are going to benefit from what has happened. So that is a good thing.

The extremely wealthy do not set monetary policy
Funny joke, I exhaled through my nose a little.

If you have corrupt politicians that sell out to the highest bidder then you should hang them, plain and simple - it's treason, the penalty for treason is codified, 18 U.S. Code § 2381.
Corruption is unfortunately legal here, we just call it lobbying instead. And centuries of propaganda has half the working class licking the boots of those that oppress and exploit them.

A quick reminder that in 2020 the U.S. Federal Government contracted BlackRock Inc. to manage COVID relief funds, and handsomely compensated the company for managing debt and bonds. Fast forward to 2021, Blackrock Inc. is purchasing properties at 120-150% of the fair market price for the purposes of renting them out, and they're doing it at a staggering rate. In case you don't know what happened there, the government gave Blackrock Inc. a bunch of your money via subsidies and relief, and now Blackrock predictably is spending these proceeds on buying real estate that you will never be able to own, because that's the smart thing to do and you can't possibly blame them for taking advantage of a favourable market - one where nobody has any money after turning the economy down from an 11 to a 1 for a whole year. They're doing it with your money. Who was in charge of Congress in 2020? Oh, right, the same guys that are in charge right now. That's neither here nor there though, both sides of the aisle are corrupt, hence my uniparty remark. My broader point is "we should stop giving the government so much damned money", maybe then they'll stop using it against the people.

There's no evidence for widespread fraud in the 2020 election, and it's a good thing we don't pick our presidents by measuring rally turnout in the middle of a pandemic.

You continue to make my point for me. Corporations control government and they keep feeding bootlickers just enough table scraps to keep them from rioting or calling for revolution, while at the same time shaking them down behind the scenes.

Corporate interests will continue to be well represented in government no matter how much money is left in the treasury. All you're ultimately suggesting is cutting more necessities and social safety nets from the working class so that we have even more money to burn on corporate welfare.

Not sure what to tell you. Last time people set up some gallows in front of Congress everyone was all upset about it, now I don't know what you guys want. :P

Jokes aside, back to Scott. His primary reason to vote one way or the other was economic policy, he's very clear about that. Ties a nice bow around the whole story - I like the guys that leave more money in my pockets.

A Trump dictatorship would've only cemented corporate power in government even further, the man is practically a corporation unto himself. Though perhaps it might've also accelerated the timeline on what we really need: a workers' revolution. Hard to know with hypotheticals.

Big yikes on that one, but still, a nice conclusion to the exchange - nobody changed their mind and we had a good laugh along the way.

Yikes indeed, we shouldn't need to speak of revolution (even hypothetically) when all people want is quality public education, healthcare, and infrastructure; things that every other first-world nation already has and has had for quite some time. But that pesky uniparty controlled by corporations keeps ignoring our basic humanity and backing us further and further into a corner, so here we are.

All I want is a politician that actually looks out for everyone's needs

The guy who literally said (and implemented policy regarding this) that doctors have a choice in whether or not they would like to provide care for transgender patients is somehow pro-LGBT according to his cult. This is absurd. Imagine going to a doctor and him being like "I don't like people with black shirts, your shirt is black so I won't help you" while you bleed out on the floor. Wild.

Edit: Should state that this was challenged by courts and ruled unconstitutional, but holy shit.
