I feel like most Democrats benefit from this, where other media/advertising plants this vague image in peoples' minds that doesn't reflect reality at all.

Like when they think about Biden, the vague image of Biden looking like "an honorable man, grim-faced at the duties he must fulfill" appears in their mind. With Kamala, it's the vague image of "Kamala briskly walking the halls and having Professional Phone Calls, leveraging her bright mind and years of experience to solve America's problems."

Basically they view them like television characters, a perception that is cultivated by the rest of the media. Even if they come across an actual clip of them that shows how dumb/dysfunctional they are, it'll quickly be forgotten as they're inundated with more propaganda and they just conclude "that thing I saw before must have just been a fluke or disinformation."

I'm reminded of how during the 2020 primaries, polling showed that a not insignificant chunk of primary voters believed that Biden supported M4A even though the slightest amount of scrutiny would show otherwise.

meanwhile Bernie was investigating whether she could be VP and Secretary of Finance at the same time back when he thought they had a chance of allying together

if you ever brought up biden's opposition to M4A online you'd get someone going "he never said he'd veto it" when anyone with a brain cell knows "I'll have to take a look at how much it costs if the bill hits my desk" means "i'm veto'ing that poo poo"

Lol I remember some guy trying to convince me that if Bernie became president, the survival of the Jewish people was at stake. I guess because he didn’t suck up to Israel enough? It didn’t matter in the end since he’s now supporting Genocide Joe.

Who knew he'd prove them right by supporting the zionist death cult and contributing to the worldwide rise of anti-semitism led by Israel

there were two big goon exoduses that I’ve seen; libertarian and conservatives slinking off in shame after Iraq went bad, and their old posts kept getting hung around their necks (a valid use of goons.xls) and then something pretty similar after Obama got in.

basically people who had staunch, immobile political beliefs that were no longer fun to hold in the new environment, and yet rather than just doing the hard work of saying they were wrong and reevaluating, fled for less upsetting pastures. people who don’t know the value of ten American dollars.

glad to see the tenbux has not been affected by inflation. sa forums membership truly is the Costco hot dog of the internet

warren's leftism was a blatant ploy to destroy bernie sanders. she very clearly did not believe a word of it, and said as much to her donors. this still made her too far left for the oligarchs' comfort. this will haunt warren for the rest of her career.

Hey, even I was suckered into smoking the hopium, and I even got some of my richie clients at the time to donate to him.

That trip ended when I watched him do a healthcare townhall in early 2008 in which it was clear he wanted to entrench the already hosed-up system.

your relentless exposing of obama's fraud status on healthcare is one of the things that opened my eyes politically thank you for your service
