The one thing saving us is that Cotton just lost his dumbass primary. A big flaming stink posted:https://twitter.com/DavidShuster/status/1268649374961356802 The campaign, and the Democratic Party in general, only gives a poo poo about pandering to conservatives since they just assume that they already have the votes of anyone to the left of Hitler. Hence courting the endorsement of one of the greatest butchers in American history. Maybe 'ol Joe should go for some police union endorsements right now too. Dr Pepper posted:Oh hey just a reminder that Joe Biden is a rapist who the DNC cheated to get the nomination and don't vote for him.  it's not cheating since dems can just make up whatever rules they want for their primary.

Biden clearly did appeal to the left, because Bernie Sanders supported him almost right away, and very enthusiastically. He successfully courted them, he got Sanders and Warren, although Warren took a bit more convincing. If he gets George W. Bush as well, it really goes to show that he is not just the consensus pick of the Democratic Party, but the nation as well. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Bernie's biggest single error was greater loyalty to the party then it ever extended him; this isn't left conversion, its misguided friendship and insufficient aggression. Warren is just angling for vp again (fruitlessly, again). Bush, and his own words to the donors are more accurate bellweathers of allegiance.

Are you, Pick, trying to say that Warren was to Bernie's left? Because your post falls apart if she wasn't, since it would be admitting that there is more than ideology at play and you should know better than saying he appealed to the left.

Kavanaugh was already confirmed a month before the election, and there was no other pressing casus belli in the right wing sphere urging Republican turnout (that I can remember at least). While Democrats were urged to vote as a show of force to condemn Trump. They broke the record for GOP votes in a mid term by like 5 million votes IIRC and they still got creamed.

Dubya's endorsement is not going to help Biden. Republicans have been well-trained when it comes to eating their own. If Bush comes out in favor of Joe, he'll be a RINO traitor to the nation before they're done airing the endorsement clip. All his endorsement will do is let the  ghouls who were already in the tank for Ol' Rapin' Joe pat themselves on the back and add imaginary points to whatever scorecard they think they're playing by.

Imagine every event of 2020 coming together to make you president and all you have to do is not say dumb poo poo. Just say some empty platitudes, wave to the crowd, then let Trump be Trump. But you just can't help but blow that "despite making up only 13% of the population" dog whistle anyway.

FallenGod posted:Imagine every event of 2020 coming together to make you president and all you have to do is not say dumb poo poo. Just say some empty platitudes, wave to the crowd, then let Trump be Trump. I checked this one just to be sure, and sure enough, there's literally only one racial group that fits between ten and fifteen percent of the population. If he didn't mean for us to look for matching percentages, why did he make it a range from ten to fifteen. Not some pablum about how some folks just ain't very good I reckon, but hinting at a specific, measurable slice of the population? Beyond that, why would he try to divide people? Why now? Especially after Bernie's wildly successful "Not me, us" campaign framing. And before folks say "well if it was successful why didn't he win," winning isn't the be-all and end-all for folks who have actual principles.

To be fair, he probably just drooled out the first low-number range he could think of. I think ascribing motives to Biden’s actions is a lot like trying to do it with Trump. They’re just motivated by spite, senility and narcissism at this point. Why does Joe Biden want to be president, even? What is his ambition, beyond just holding the office he’s coveted most of his life?

rko posted:To be fair, he probably just drooled out the first low-number range he could think of. I don't think there's a motive, like I don't think that Biden is a Klansman or whatnot, but I do think that there's an underlying network of assumptions and half-truths that he's working from that are sourced from and massively support white supremacy; the same assumptions and half-truths he's been working from his entire life but now only half-glimpsed through fog. He knows that there's something he read once about how 12% of the population account for most of the crime, so he vague-ified that up to make sure he wasn't completely off and drooled it out. It is exactly, exactly, what Trump gets so much criticism for. rko posted:Why does Joe Biden want to be president, even? What is his ambition, beyond just holding the office he’s coveted most of his life? That is, quite literally, all that he is going for. He wants this power that he feels has been denied him, and he's wanted it for a long time, and he'll have it or he'll die trying. He has no plans to use it nor ideas about what to use it for, he just wants it because it is power and liberals crave and covet power as an abstract concept. You might notice that this is the motivation behind really bad and dumb comic book villains.

i think I would prefer a candidate who doesn't take endorsements from war criminals. But I can also see why it's incredibly demoralizing to have the only other living Republican President actively endorse the opposition. Especially if you think doing so can open the floodgates to other Republicans turning. Timeless Appeal fucked around with this message at 13:40 on Jun 5, 2020 |
