Maybe it's the circles I'm in, but I'm seeing a lot of "never Biden" posting for honestly frankly understandable and principled reasons. How likely is that to be much of a threat? I'm assuming a lot of those people vote independently or not at all anyway.

The only candidate I've ever donated to was Bernie Sanders in 2016, and I donated a handful of times. I'm not even a big fan of Joe Biden but to celebrate the RNC's worst fundraising year in three decades I went ahead and sent money to both Biden-Harris as well as the Biden Victory Fund.

Are they full-on MAGA cultists just astroturfing or are they more sane/left and just want Biden nailed on his support for Israel? I think the latter can be reasoned with. Maybe.

dr_rat posted:So um, what happens if the RNC just straight up goes bankrupt? I assume some billionaire would bail them out right? The party apparatus would still exist. They'd wind up having a much more difficult time with day to day operations since a lot of things run on credit. If they can't use that, then good luck rumning TV ads, maintaining campaign facilities, or just paying the people who have to make the party a full time job. But people could still say they're republicans and run for office on their own campaign funds as republicans. The party is the coordination system, but there's plenty of other ways to keep the evil flowing. Realistically, though, they're going to be taking money from some rich rear end in a top hat (probably in Russia) to keep the lights on and prevent the death spiral. Or they could reorganize as the new Know Nothings. That's easy since they already know nothing. kazil posted:
I wouldn't worry about that. Cultists rushing to the aid of the messiah when he's threatened is understandable. And their money is a drop in the bucket for Trump's needs. Random Stranger fucked around with this message at 15:35 on Feb 1, 2024 |

What’s funny is that is a group of over 800 and only about 30 are shown playing. Which is pretty good

dr_rat posted:So um, what happens if the RNC just straight up goes bankrupt? I assume some billionaire would bail them out right? It would mean the national campaign arm of the Republican Party can’t pay staff, can’t buy ads, can’t send money to candidates in smaller local races, etc. It wouldn’t be the end of the party, but it could have several knock-on effects in races up and down the ballot. For example, if they can’t pay a full-time Get Out The Vote operation in a rural county in Wisconsin, they may lose a couple thousand votes, which might not make a difference for local races there, but could end up mattering in the presidential election.

I'm hopeful that it's just talk while we wait for the nominations to be confirmed. I mean, it's understandable but its not like Trump presents a better option there. I'd be open to primarying someone inspiring against Biden, but there just isn't anyone out there at the moment.

Loser loses again. U.K. judge dismisses Donald Trump's lawsuit over "Steele dossier" quote:London — A judge in London on Thursday threw out a lawsuit by former U.S. President Donald Trump accusing a former British spy of making "shocking and scandalous claims" that were false and harmed his reputation. Judge Karen Steyn said there were "no compelling reasons" to let the case Trump filed against Orbis Business go to trial. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/donald-trump-steele-dossier-uk-judge-dismisses-lawsuit-vs-orbis-business/

Shishkahuben posted:I assume they'd just be running without the financial support of a national political institution. presumably the impoverished party leaders would work for To be honest it’s debatable how much it would even hurt them as in a lot of areas the polical party is more a landed aristocracy that couldn’t lose if they wanted to. It would probably do more damage to swing areas but those are pretty few and far between anymore

Though I'm not sure I even believe there is an ongoing conflict in Palestine / Israel, despite what the media claim. My favorite son in law Jared Kushner solved the Israeli conflict once and for all with his ultimate middle east deal.

I think this kind of sentiment extremely underestimates how informed a lot of the youth vote is. That isn't to say they won't vote Biden or will vote Trump, but I think a large portion are very aware of foreign policy.

I think it can cause some issues in michigan, but honestly its only speeding up the slow split thats been happening since the dems went more socially progressives. also alot of the online lefties wernt gonna vote anyway. id be more worried if it was the normies like my parents or moderate relatives, but they are still in the "yeah gently caress trump is scary, not happy about biden but he is ok" box. while some of those people have mixed feelings about the i/p horror show. none of them blame biden for it and none of them are changing a vote over it and i think thats kinda the case nationally.

Though ultimately the point of this thread is to be the this is good….for Biden thread. Every piece of news is good and if it’s bad that’s just doom posting and you wouldn’t want to be a doomposter would you comrade? Because that’s something a Russian would do (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Trump even won in the first place so I'd say it's a possible real thing, but like the whole "Bernie bros voted for Trump" thing that was pushed by the DNC also happened so I doubt they're a significant group to worry about.
