It seems pretty clear that even as little as 3 years ago, Trump was way more articulate than he is now. The mental deterioration is obvious.

yes, a person who lost a race can tell you things about winning it. we aren't trump, don't divide the world into "winners" and "losers"

Ossoff was a terrible candidate. He has a right to speak wherever he wants but anyone listening to him about how to win elections is a moron.

I'm not sure about that. His point in that tweet is fairly common advice, but I was watching that interview in 1999 about North Korea and he just rambles an analogy about mugging without showing any actual insight. How much exposure has Trump had in an unscripted venue that doesn't rely on punch lines? Cause he's always said stupid poo poo since the 80s at least.

There's always going to be a return-to-the-mean effect with Trump polls. He always has temporary rebounds and spikes. For example, he had one right around the election.

quote:

Note that Zogby had Barack Obama winning states such as Arkansas, Arizona and South Carolina, results which no other pollster saw at any point during the election cycle. He also had Obama polling within 5 points of John McCain in Oklahoma, which Obama would go on to lose by 31 points, and Tennessee, which he’d lose by 15.

To sum it up, Zogby's internet polling is wildly innacurate. This recent Trump poll is also one of their online polls btw

That's true of everywhere that fought but the US, pretty much. English-speaking people everywhere treat it seriously on account of how hosed-up the English got. America has less of a connection to the war and has had to prop up an imperial apparatus that depends upon blind reverence for soldiers and an optimistic focus on uncomplicated military victory.

It almost feels like some kid who found the internet, and then progressively sunk deeper and deeper into 13375P33K and doggo memes and began to only be able to communicate in a similar truncated manner as they get more and more social network rewards for mimicking other people's extreme behaviors..

It's kind of like how fish that live in caves go blind, except distilled into one elderly man.

I still find it incredibly impressive that Trump came off so badly in that leaked phone call transcript that Turnbull seemed positively compassionate in comparison. The guy who's literally detaining refugees in an island camp has better opinions on refugees than Donald Trump.

Several islands. Good news though, the camps are being shut down.

Bad news: they're completely ignoring what happens to the people in the camps when they're shut down.

The leftist firing squad will never stop until you get everyone to agree that "better" is better than "turbofucked" and moving slightly to the left so that centrists aren't entirely happy and far leftists aren't entirely happy, but they can all at least agree so things get done. It's not about compromise with republican positions (which are all universally garbage) but compromising within the left coalition, but that's a loving pipe dream from what I've seen over the past few months. We'll hatefuck republicans out of office, and then hatefuck them right back in out of spite when centrists and leftists don't get literally everything they want. It really is just that childish.

This. Compromising with various shades of left is literally the only way forward.
