Lifespan posted:Most of my family is Republican and each of those are college educated. None of them voted for Trump in 2016 or 2020 and I am 99% sure they won't vote for him in 2024. The mythos of the CHUD really distorts that there's a real silent majority out there. Holy poo poo I need to retune my brain after all that Trump.

Serious_Cyclone posted:I feel like the college-educated Republican draw for Trump in 2016 was "wow we are going to get some absolutely wild tax poo poo passed with this moron, through his handlers", which was basically true. In 2024 it seems like Trump has so completely cut himself off from the McConnell old-guard Republicans and that particular shine has come off the bronzer. Yeah and if they were smart they would have realized that wanting tax cuts and also reducing the deficit don't really work together. but if they were smart they wouldn't have voted trump lol

Mons Hubris posted:Ceasefire getting 71 seems potentially bad for Biden Maybe, although you have to ask how many of those would have voted for Biden if not for Gaza. And, another way of looking at it could be that this was a relatively consequence-free opportunity for a protest vote, and only 71 took that opportunity.

I'd ask WTF Biden is supposed to do with the I/P situation, like, Biden doesn't control Israel. But I've given up trying to figure out what the extreme left wing purity brigade wants, since they don't know either. And of course Russia and the RNC will try and play this up in order to sow dissent and division.

He simply must flip the switch that says "Start I/P conflict , End I/P Conflict" it is next to the gas switch. Pretty loving simple if you ask me.

But I've given up trying to figure out what the extreme left wing purity brigade wants, since they don't know either. I mean that isn't actually a hard answer. They want him to openly come out and condemn Israel and make the argument that the US should stop supplying aid to Israel until they stop. It's a reasonable request that also just happens to be 100% political suicide.

I'm sure they would be RINOs in the chuds eyes because they don't appear to really follow the drama of party, just use the label to represent their fiscal beliefs.

You think the man in charge of US foreign policy is literally helpless to do anything about a country that we supply a massive amount of money and weapons to?

I'm sure they would be RINOs in the chuds eyes because they don't appear to really follow the drama of party, just use the label to represent their fiscal beliefs. I mean the fiscal beliefs of the Republican party are "gently caress the poor, gently caress the oppressed, gently caress the environment, gently caress health care, and gently caress everyone who isn't a vanishingly small amount of mostly white rich people." Like unironically a 'moderate' Republican these days is what we call a center-right Democrat.

But I've given up trying to figure out what the extreme left wing purity brigade wants, since they don't know either. he can put more pressure on israel publicaly but i think most of the stuff is behind the scene and 180ing hard on israel would hurt him way more then what he is trying to do now.

Could be wrong, though.

Zore posted:No, Biden wasn't on the ballot. The DNC decided to move around the order of primary states to get different and more diverse ones in beginning and they've been in conflict with New Hampshire over it since New Hampshire pins a lot on being 'first in the nation' for their primary and even has it written into law. Why does it matter who goes first? Or is just a sad bragging-rights thing?
