When two members of your slim majority consistently vote for the other side it's impossible to get much done.
Can we all agree to let the party currently in control, stay in control, and make the other party illegal? Then imprison that other party, or execute them? And then stop having elections because there’s no reason to, when the party currently in control is the correct party to have in control?
I really don't think the Republicans will hand the reins over to Trump again; as I've said before, I think they've made a deal with him to keep his head down in exchange for keeping him out of prison. The primaries will consist of: Cancun Cruz Josh Hawley Tom Cotton Hotwheels Abbott Ron DeSantis I predict DeSantis getting the nomination. What's REALLY important is who the Dems are going to run. As I've said before, I don't think Biden is going to run the full term for a lot of reasons, one of which is to make that dumb cunt Kamala the first Affirmative-Action president ever (because let's be honest - that's why she got the job). She doesn't stand a chance at getting elected. Trump could take a shit on a paper plate, run that as a candidate, and still get more votes than that bimbo. So who's it going to be on the Dem's side?
I’m no great fan of hers either. But Jesus. She’s a pretty smart and accomplished person who has her share of issues. Mostly that she has a condescending way of speaking on issues(if you want to attack that sort of thing) but also some shitty policy history in California. Those are fair attacks, to let at least. I agree that she can’t win a national election with her at the top of the ticket though. Attacking her for being a woman and one of color isn’t a legitimate criticism. Unless that’s what you don’t like about her.
What our uncouth friend is trying to say is the biggest mistakes the democrats made was choosing a VP with obvious skin (and genital) deep thinking. It appears they didn’t think past the single news cycle they got to celebrate the first women of color VP. She washed out early and badly as a candidate. I’ve never heard a coherent argument as to the deep game thinking as to what she was supposed bring to the ticket or future of the party as VP. Now she’s an albatross and the implications for 2022 and 2024 are just a huge mess of confusion for the party.
"I'm going to pick a woman... A woman of color" - Joe Biden (scripted by someone else) Isn't that the definition of an Affirmative Action pick? Not based on merit, Joe? You won't consider a woman of any other race? And what IS color? Would you have picked an Asian woman? I'm attacking the Dems for picking her (because I know Biden didn't pick her). I don't like her as a person, either. I've read about the crooked stuff she did in California. I apologise for nothing calling her a bimbo, because that's the way she conducts herself; whenever she gets a serious question, she does that stupid laugh, which brings down the IQ points of everyone in the room. Then she deflects the question. I know that all politicians do that, but that's no excuse.
The problem with the Dems, is the best, centered ones, are boring by today's standards. The Republican base is moved by feeling, not a platform. They see their guy talk, and he/she excites their lizard-brain; not fixing infrastructure, or something lame like that. The biggest mistake the DNC ever did was trying to play in the same mud-pit. The top Dems are top, only because FOX-NEWS keeps slamming them, not because they come out with an actual good idea. If Bernie Sanders, tomorrow, fire-bombed the DNC, I'd argue it was self-defense. Not that every idea he had was a home-run, but he was SO popular, and wouldn't play ball with the establishment, they had to ice him. The DNC cut off and disenfranchised a huge, young, base just to keep the same machine turning. The RNC, they just realized they don't need need to be coy about it anymore. I remember when having a GOVT job meant you were a top-tier person of your industry, and were worthy of admiration. I no longer think that way.
Bernie had hype, but that's not the same thing as popularity. Elections are decided by the voters who like to think of themselves as worldly and open minded folks, but absolutely shit themselves the second their quaint suburban existence may be altered in any way. It's why the biggest turn against Trump came from the SALT cap, and the biggest flip back to Republicans came from a bullshit talking point about schools.
Meh, Bernie Sanders. The majority of Democrats are not into his batshit version of economics or social policy, let alone the majority of the general public. It’s kind of hard to implement democratic socialism when the party had already chased away the working class. I never saw any hype for him outside of Reddit.
The Wyoming Republican Party voted 31-29 to no longer recognize Liz Cheney as a Republican. The party literally holds no principles but fealty to Trump.
But she's still registered as one? So this makes no difference to her actual voting status whatsoever? But yeah, it's clearly a cult, and has been for a while. Anyone still looking to "compromise with Republicans" literally doesn't know what they're dealing with.
31-29? Amazing, they got the entire state of Wyoming to vote. Seriously, what do Wyoming politicians actually do? Write bills to recognize moose knuckling as a hobby and not putting people on the sex offender list for it?
And the Republicans who found their conscience and voted against the cult's interests, how's their fan mail of late?
Wasn't this supposed to be $3.5T? It looks like...$1T. That might be why it's a quiet news day, and all the hubub is about party traitors and something to do with Pete Booty Egg.
I like how they're already hanging the impending issues with it around his neck the day Biden signs it into law. The only other thing in the news is Beto announcing his next embarrassing campaign failure.
Abbott is a supremely unpopular governor around here but a democrat beating him is a tall order. He’s responsible for the worst abortion law in history. He made sure Houston specifically received no money for flood mitigation. He’s done precisely dick to improve our power grid. He wants to ban books. He’s gone out of his way to make it harder for private businesses to be safe from Covid. I can go on. But I truly hate the man.
