Trump is talking about implementing something like a public option or using the treasury to ensure people aren't ruined by COVID measures, and would absolutely just straight up legalize weed and expunge records a couple days before the election lol

The Dems are doing their damnedest to make sure their nominee is somebody that Trump could run to the left of without even having to lie, it's incredible. I don't care if M4A is called Trumpcare or whatever, I just want my friends to stop suffering and dying

Biden's VP is gonna be Romney or similar, and the VP debate is just gonna be Pence and Biden's running mate laughing about how funny it's gonna be when they impeach him


edit - lmfao his VP if he gets the nom is gonna be Haley, book it

Man, zoomers/late millenials are overwhelmingly socialist. It's a glimmer of hope in a bleak landscape. We will never have our hands on the levers of power until it's far too late, but we know that our future is being sold to the highest bidder.

I think we will have power when it matters. We will ensure that those in 2200 will thank us. We will ensure there will even be decent living conditions by 2080. But we will definitely preside over a period where certain ideas like absolute free speech. Like rights to absolute property. Like the idea that you should give children absolute freedom will have to die for the common good. I also really do think we will need to build re-education camps to ensure boomer tendencies are eliminated for good.

Wrote this in the primary thread, but would like to ask here as well:
At this point I think it is easy go completely :matters: however I don't really think things look as bad as that currently and I would urge anyone to utilize this as a radicalizing moment against the DNC.

We all know Biden has dementia, we all know he cannot win against Trump and we all know the DNC isn't playing this to win against Trump, but to win against Bernie.

Meanwhile the democratic primary voter electorate are consistently stating in polling that their number one priority is ousting Trump. That is why they are voting on electability over substance. They are scared shitless, and therefore vote for the candidate they have been told can beat Trump. That means they are propping up a candidate that is in direct contrast to their singular stated goal.

So I think this is the time to talk to family and friends that have voted Biden, harping on why exactly the DNC and MSM would try to push a candidate through suffering from dementia. They have access to him and must know. Now you friends/family will state that this is overblown and he isn't actually demented :downswords:. They are however wrong and it will become clear in the next week/month, that is why they are trying to get Bernie to drop out and talk about how the debate isn't necessary - all cover for backing a candidate that cannot win.

When the Biden house of cards come tumbling down, it is important to have made clear in advance that the DNC and MSM never played to win. They detest the voters (particularly the ones voting for Biden) and don't give a poo poo whether Trump wins, as long as Bernie doesn't. If this can be communicated in advance, I think it will radicalize a lot of Biden voters against the DNC and MSM.

Anybody agree/disagree with this?
I do agree.

We can radicalize a lot I think. However a decent number of the olds will unfortunately still be vote blue no matter who. Those ones abandon and cut off.

Yeah. We need to realize that telling people they are uniquely special just breeds egotism and a contempt for their fellow man. Also we need to realize those deep in the throes of egotism will need re-education in the most brutal ways possible.

Eh. We'd get marginally less lovely Supreme Court judges, marginally better environmental policy, and slightly fewer kids in cages. None of those are nearly good enough, but I don't know how to not feel complicit in the additional damage done by the current moron, you know?

there’s no evidence to the contrary that mitch mcconnell wouldn’t run the 2015/2016 playbook again and tell biden to gently caress off when it comes to nominating SC judges

slightly fewer kids in cages? the Obama admin was the one who started them. some loving lot of Responsible Stewards of Government, eh?

vote with your conscience and be free for the first time in your life. stop being browbeaten by all of these fuckers who hate your guts. they’ve made it perfectly clear that they don’t respect you or care about you. and if you really need an outlet for your masochism, there are other ways to satisfy that urge.

if it eases your mind, you wouldn't get any less lovely any of these things under Biden. You're just going to get a now-official bipartisan consensus that kiddie concentration camps are for their own good, actually, and if their parents really loved them they wouldn't be making us do this

Probably Klobuchar or Stacey Abrams, they tick most of the boxes with having enough of a personality to offend anyone. Biden thinks he needs his own Tim Kaine.

It's not a unifying choice the same way someone else might be and the fact that she was a cop was brought up in every conversation i ever had with anyone about her during her campaign

It might not matter in the general but if they are selecting a VP to try to tie their base together I dont think picking the person who had to drop out of the primary immediately because she had no support is the best plan.

Yeah Klobuchar seems the most likely pick to me, she doesn't have the same baggage harris does with her own party and was at least competitive in the early primary

I could see Warren maybe and it would certainly explain her not endorsing Bernie and joining in on the attack, but I don't know if the DNC would sign off on a ticket this gaffe prone

Not sure that's a fair cop given Clyburn is perhaps singlehandedly responsible for Biden being in the lead and the Black vote earned him his ST win. This election isn't about racist boomers, it's about capital shutting out socialism by any means necessary.

It will not be Warren, she brings nothing to the ticket. While conventional wisdom dictates that as Biden does well in the south, they need to shore up the Midwest, while the coasts are vbnmw so gently caress 'em.
