Cthulu Carl posted:I dunno how it works in Michigan, but in Ohio, you can only vote in one party's primary and in fact voting in the primary is how you become a member of that party. My state is a fully open primary, so the details here are unfamiliar. Does it matter at all if your party affiliation is set to Republican? I assume you can still vote for whoever you want in the general election?

StrangersInTheNight posted:ofc, so then they should know that it's taken *since the formation of Israel* for anyone to even begin listening to anyone that it was hosed up and can't be resolved in one presidential election cycle Just because you've had your head buried in the sand for decades doesn't mean the rest of us have genius, people have been complaining about Israel for a very long time

Serious_Cyclone posted:If I were a betting man, I'd place a bet on dark money fueling Trump's general election campaign at least as much as they did in 2020, if not more. I really don't think the wealthy care about Trump as a candidate beyond "he doesn't have as good a shot at winning" but will back whoever has the R. I don't trust capital to not back fascism based on historical precedent. that's a good point I do think that american capital is a wily beast compared to capital elsewhere-- namely, american capital swings at everyone and has absolutely no loyalty to anything or anyone, ever, including its own continued existence-- so who knows what the gently caress rich people in america will do

A Fancy Hat posted:A personal anecdote so take it with a grain of salt, but I work for a Fortune 500 Company and Trump's tariffs hosed us up really badly, to the point our CEO sent us an email asking us to write letters to the White House demanding they end them. lol i love when someone who is used to getting their way by sending an angry email at a subordinate comes up with plans like that then they get infuriated when their c-suite access doesn't extend to the presidency lol StrangersInTheNight fucked around with this message at 17:10 on Feb 28, 2024 |

Blurred posted:I missed polling chat last night, but wanted to add my two cents here. I don't think you're wrong, and I don't think the polls are incredibly wrong either. But at the same time Trump has been losing elections since 2016. And while you point out that there was no "red wave" and they "overperformed" the polls, Democrats swept the board just 3 months ago and won nearly every competitive election. My take is that we have to take these threats seriously but doomerism is bad. I honestly do not believe Trump is up. And if he is, it's a mirage.

StrangersInTheNight posted:absolutely that's my point, the people who are all 'im not gonna vote for joe biden over his israel policy' are idiots bc it's the same israel policy every president ever has had Anyone who thinks their protest vote over Israel matters overestimates themselves. That's not me being dismissive of the matter, or thinking Israel isn't committing a genocide and we're being dumbshits for being complicit in it. I hate to be the one to tell them this, anyone who isn't a plugged in freak like we are has absolutely nearly no knowledge of Israel/Palestine besides "Criticizing Israel? Doesn't that make you anti-semetic...?" Support for Israel is solidly institutional across all levels. It's like support for Saudi Arabia. Sure- you might realize there are tremendous downsides for it. But in public and with votes you're going to do it anyway.

It's basically "bribe all you want, the bill" and I'm certain millions will come flooding in from rival countries looking to try to destabilize the US with another Trump victory that will result in a de-facto dictatorship on day one. Don't have to worry about the US projecting its military power when the military is too busy fighting a war against its own civilians!

jokes posted:Nobody expected Trump to win-- especially not Trump. He was going in to gently caress with Hillary and start a media grift and complain about unfair elections and all that poo poo so he could grift, but he won so he had to pivot Still waiting for that pivot. Win or lose, he's still whining about an election two elections ago.

Sometime in October the Dems should just pay Hillary to go on Fox News and talk about classified material handling. Trump might actuallly explode.
