Fobby posted:I don't get why ... I don't think anybody thinks Trump won't get the nomination itt. It's more a sign that his support with conservatives isn't nearly as concrete as him and the online chud ecosystem has made it seem. Having a long primary process is going to do further damage to him. This primary might drag into the latter half of the year, and it might still be contested as he becomes a convicted felon. It's just a good sign that his support can (and has) degraded among Republican voters. This isn't like a normal primary where a bunch of nobodys are vying for the nomination, it's a bunch of nobodys vs a guy who has already been president, and full on half of the staunchest of Republicans said "no thanks". If he won 100% of the vote, we're hosed as a country. It means not just the politicians are in support of an insurrectionist, but a full on 40% of our country is, and ruins any check on power there is. And nobody within his ranks could oppose him. Now it's gonna be a bitter primary, that drags well past his felony convictions, and goes into an election where a big chunk of his reliable voters don't want him and won't be enthused about voting for him. This result is really bad for him, and he's refraining from doing 1,000 victory lap truths because he knows it.

The Locator posted:Sadly, even after Trump passes from this mortal coil, our choices are still going to be "the party that has demonstrated it wants us all to die if we aren't rich and white", or the dems. I seriously doubt that we will ever have a viable 3rd party candidate in my remaining lifetime. yeh but they can't inspire a crowd, they don't have that leader 'shine' that makes people go nuts. Trump is a charismatic leader who can get people to do poo poo for him, even ill-advised poo poo they know will screw them over, such that he convinced a bunch of Boomer moms and dads to storm a govt building while threatening to hang the govt workers inside. The future guys will be bad, but we'll get a reprieve from them being able to whip up crowds of people, and 3rd party tactics will have much more play in that arena than this one where the risk isn't 'he could try to become king'.

He’ll never spend a night behind bars (unless they’re made of chocolate). At absolute most, he would probably be “confined” to house arrest at MAL with full access to his golf course and country club. And to be perfectly honest, I doubt even that is in the cards. We’re going to gently caress around and find out what happens when you elect a criminal as president and give him the power to self-pardon. Less pessimistic folks will tell you he’s lost a lot of appeal now that he’s a known quantity; he was a known quantity going into 2020 with his mountains of controversies and botched response to Covid and he still gained 10 million more votes over what he had in 2016. Biden will still carry the popular vote, I’ve got no doubts there. But all it takes is some fuckery in the swing states, and Trump’s grinning fat rear end will be back behind the desk in the Oval Office, throwing ketchup at the walls and ruining lives like so many pairs of tortured underpants.

redshirt posted:Not sure if I read it here or on WaPo, but exit polls indicate 60% of caucus voters last night don't think Biden won legitimately in 2020. That actually sounds lower than I'd expect for a crowd of people who'd risk death by exposure for the chance to vote for president and minor deity Dingle J Tingle. I wouldn't extrapolate that data point into any actual conclusions about America at large.

I wouldn't extrapolate that data point into any actual conclusions about America at large. That number has been pretty stable for a while. quote:The share of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents who believe that President Joe Biden’s 2020 election win was not legitimate has ticked back up, according to a new CNN poll fielded throughout July. All told, 69% of Republicans and Republican-leaners say Biden’s win was not legitimate, up from 63% earlier this year and through last fall, even as there is no evidence of election fraud that would have altered the outcome of the contest.

Yeah that sucks but you can't win everything and that's the only place to make a difference. You should still vote for the least bad viable candidate in the general election.

Remember all the doomering about the red wave that turned into a massive own for republicans. Dems lost the house but there was a pathetic output from republicans and there isn’t really anything to indicate that it has changed. Trump has barely majority support from the craziest Iowans in a deep red state, he is going to get mangled in a general election.

My voting hot take is I'm always gonna vote D for president but at the state and local level is where we start to build progressive momentum. It's all well and good to want some great fantasy progressive candidate to come that you can vote for but the bottom line is even if one showed up they ain't getting elected now. But at the local side we can start shoring up support for progressives, get good people elected and then we start building momentum. But seriously gently caress any one that doesn't vote Biden right now, I have little girls who would be affected by Trump coming in and making handmaiden's tale real. I have close friends who are struggling with anti lgbtq legislature being put up everywhere. With Biden as pres at least we staunch the bleeding

A Fancy Hat posted:
Palin was the exception. She seemed to be THE female candidate that a lot of conservatives loved the hell out of to the point of saying they'd have her vote as a presidential candidate. I say this with recollections that hardcore conservatives HATED McCain for years, too. The McCain/Palin ticket I think probably worked for them because he appealed to some more undecided and moderate voters (both Democrat and Republican) and she appealed a lot to the more modern (at the time) hardcore conservatives. There's a real part of me that thinks they were hoping McCain would die early if he'd won so Palin could take over. Not sure if there were bigger implications beyond that, though. Would that mean they'd shove Pelosi out of congress into the VP seat? I can't imagine they'd be happy about THAT, but it would remove her from congress for what I'd assume to be the rest of her political career once her VP term was up.

I think everyone's responses to my big rambling post make sense and reassure me a bit but for this one if the roles were reversed I think my reaction would be, "wait, why are we running the same candidate who lost to Trump against him again four years later? Why did anyone vote for him instead of a person who hasn't lost to Trump?" And then if he won I'd vote for him in the general anyway because the alternative would be Trump. It's like if the Democrats voted 51% for Hillary again in 2020. Or repeatedly nominated Crist in FL for Gov.
