No ballots needed. Vote right here. (November 2020 goat nominations)

narfcake thought this was worth mentioning said Mon, Oct 26th 2020 at 1:26am ET

Ah, election season is upon us. Lots of advertising. Lots of mudslinging. And lots of blame. Well here at meh, you need to forget about the first two and just focus on the last – some good old fashioned blaming on scapegoat of the month. Unless things go well – then you’re free to unblame.

So with @kykazaa’s Lego goat term about to wrap up, it’s time to nominate the next goat.

(Just leave the real politics out of it. This isn’t the place for that.)

How about OnlyOneTruth?
They seem capable of gracefully accepting the blame all month from whichever side of the political loses the election.

- @RiotDemon Goat nominations are about accepting blame, not politics.
  
  Why are you injecting politics in this?
  
  Why would OnlyOneTruth be any less able to accept blame with humility as the November Goat than any other fine upstanding Mehtizen?

- @rickyjojo hey. Welcome to the forums. Every month a member is picked to be the scapegoat to accept blames for crappy products and other silly things that went wrong.

- @rickyjojo @unksol the thread started originally to be for meh complaints specifically. It super bummed me out when someone threw blame at me for the Vegas shooting when I was goat. That wasn’t cool.
  
  Dog farts, I could totally deal with.

Goats used to get blamed for stuff and just respond with a ‘meh’, or a ‘shut it’. now they post daily about their favorite/unfavorite hobbies, pets, flowers, trivia, etc. it has basically turned into a resume builder for writing click-bait articles where you must click through 75 pages of ads before realizing the title subject that piqued your interest isn’t even in the list. even worse, it’s a month long bait-click article. thbts!!!

  I think you can blame the scapegoat for that, yes?
  At least until they stop having them as you suggest. Then who would you have to blame? Be careful what you wish for.

  I love the daily topics re ships and boats, trains, legos, halloween, heavy metal, strange holidays, and whatever other personal interests people are way into (non Political tho)
  
  The goat blame topic is supposed to be lighthearted, and humorous or amusing.
  I would like to see it return to being kinda within those boundaries.
