I think the fact that he didn't is just more proof he never wanted to win, and just wanted his best friend, known rapist, Joe Rapist Biden, to be president. He knew said rapist would be the best for killing Palestinian children.

I'd have to disagree.
I mean, during my time as an IK over there, they were accusing me of being a CSPAM poster before I had ever even lurked here.
The succlibs would just be screaming and hollering for CSPAM to implement DND rules and probe everyone who isn't agreeing with them, like they do now.

This is why everyone should just avoid the topic as much as possible. We are seen as the local representatives of Trump because we criticize Democrats and people are stupid. Mods end up being drafted from the dumbest of all. When Voldemort invades the ministry of magic or whatever they think is happening we'll probably be shut down again anyway.

I understand what you’re saying but Bernie needed more uncompromising fire in him, not less.

No matter how Bernie answered that, they would have found a way to turn it against him.

If he had said yes, they'd have just accused him of pandering or trying to score cheap optics points, or would have just kept adding more qualifiers like "What about a gay woman? How about one who opened a small business in an urban neighborhood and has had it open for 3 years?"

Warren is an ambitious, craven, ladder climber with no convictions, identity, pride, or relationship she won't betray to climb one more rung. Her entire professional career has been thus. She's invisible because, after 2020 put these traits undeniably front and center, there is no one left unbetrayed or dumb enough to trust her. Obama had her measure when he told her to gently caress off after asking for a cabinet post as head of CFPB.

She was either given a false promise or deduced that the Dems were putting down Bernie's leftist nonsense once and for all after the Voltron and tried to jump ship to the winning side.

I can't find that amazing video of a colleague going off about here, but ‘Liz Was a Diehard Conservative’: Elizabeth Warren doesn’t like to talk about it, but for years she was a registered Republican. Why she left the GOP—and what it means for her campaign.



After a childhood she describes as not very political, Warren attended George Washington University on a debate scholarship. Above, she is pictured second from left in the front row in the 1967 GWU yearbook as “Liz Herring” (her maiden name).

I'm trying to come up with a scenario in my head where Trump has any shot in hell of winning and I just can't do it.

Even if it's a lower turnout election that will probably hurt Trump more. He has done nothing to gain undecided voters he has no policies or plans and quite frankly I think people are just kind of tired of him as weird as it is to say Biden being boring as poo poo is probably working to his benefit as people remember having to wake up each day with Trump as president stressing over if this was the day he was going to start world war 3.

This divide in the Republican party is killing them. I'm going to say that if Trump is found guilty of anything whether or not he sees prison he will have no chance of winning the election. Even being a convicted felon may not turn a lot of Republican voters but it will turn some and it will probably be enough with how razor thin the margins are for him.

Biden has a strong economy and no major scandals and his incumbency working for him and I think that's enough for him to be either Haley or Trump. Basically what I'm saying is it's far too early to say anything but I just don't feel like there is any path for Trump to succeed here.

The closest I can think of is Biden dying in October or some massive economic downturn but that's about it. poo poo even the economic downturn may not matter because we had one in 2022 and look how that turned out in the midterms.

it's so good it will be nothing but a benefit for biden and there is no indication or information that would indicate anything otherwise

I don't think it's a sure thing for either Biden or Trump, but lmao to be this loving dimwitted about the state of the polls.

also why do these imbeciles insist there is a divide in the gop???? that theory has been tested since 2015 and the answer is no.

also also, I think Biden dying in october probably would help his poll numbers, as president xanax would get the pity vote. complete idiot.

It's cope. They have to believe that the GOP is in it's death throes and collapse is imminent and the walls are closing in so they can distract themselves from their own party's countless failures and weaknesses that they aren't allowed to acknowledge or think about.

I was gonna post the opensecrets list of healthcare companies donating to politicians but I noticed a new name on the list, Transcarent.

It looks like some sort of hell-based app for HR depts. to track employees' health using a combination medical records & AI.

Look at this bullshit.

What initially caught my eye is unlike other donors to politicians Transcarent only funds democrats. Integra Connect is on the list as only funding republicans.

This is true, and seems very obvious, but if we're trying to describe the reasoning process of the Trump voter, we have to keep in mind that there's a vast media landscape designed to make people believe the exact opposite, and it works. I've seen Trump voters say it: Trump is deeply imperfect, even a bad President, but at least he's not demented (as in, literally afflicted by dementia) in the way Biden is. So we gotta Vote Red No Matter Who.

And if you really believe that - and billions of dollars are spent every year to make people believe it - then you might vote for Trump even though you think Trump will be a bad president. In fact I'm pretty sure that at least a million people will vote with that reasoning in 2024.
