Ytlaya posted:Very strongly disagree with this. Republicans have a similar issue to Democrats where, despite the unpopularity of Trump/Biden, they don't really have any options that aren't even worse. Kamala's also more fundamentally evil than Biden is, as high a bar as that is.

Jon Pod Van Damm posted:I just want to be clear I don't want to vote for Trump but the dems leave me with no other choice if they continue on this path. What the heck is wrong with them. The thing is, if they actually believe their rhetoric, that Trump is the end of democracy and all that, then running Biden at all is the biggest malpractice they could possibly do, given the ostensible stakes I don’t think they actually believe their rhetoric though, at least not the decision makers

Howard Stern is excusing the “weird” comments his friend Jerry Seinfeld made about him having no “comedy chops,” since Seinfeld had just “came off a really bad week” battling what Stern called “blatant antisemitism.” https://www.thedailybeast.com/howard-stern-defends-seinfeld-from-blatant-antisemitism

Today, we celebrate. We won one of the most significant verdicts on fossil fuels in US history. The Biden Administration has paused all liquified natural gas exports. When I think about how far we have come in the climate movement it honestly makes me cry. The environmental justice movement was started by Black, brown, and indigenous leaders who saw the impacts of the fossil fuel industry using their communities as sacrifice zones. For decades, communities in regions with heavy fossil fuel production have suffered from dirty air and water, health problems like cancer and asthma, and have watched their land become barren from toxic waste polluting the soil. While we are still facing environmental racism across the country, today’s decision centered and prioritized frontline voices over fossil fuel executives’ financial interests. Venture Global, the largest company responsible for LNG projects in the Gulf South, has faced legal challenges for multiple standard infractions. Calcasieu Pass has had so many malfunctions with permitting and drilling that it has faced legal penalties all year. In fact, it was out of compliance 84% of the first year of development. It’s been clear for a very long time, LNG projects, like all fossil fuel expansion projects, are not in the public interest. That is why I am so incredibly happy today, and we don’t always get to say that. Today, President Biden did something brave. Though a low bar to clear, President Biden has do more on climate than any other president in US history. And today, Biden stood on the side of the People against some of the most formidable special interests in industry and politics.

RealityWarCriminal posted:I think they know biden is doa in november and are laying the ground work for whatever is next I think actually no one in power in the Democratic Party is thinking past November, except just to fantasize. The capacity for long term planning is completely gone. That’s part of why Project 2025 is so scary to the mid-level party hacks, they could never imagine their bosses actually laying out a comprehensive plan for what to do in January.

The context for this is that there’s they’ve already built too many LNG terminals and market conditions mean no one seriously wants to build any more lol. (Also the LNG terminals owned by the company that Biden’s climate advisors work for already are built and operating lol)

He's going to be charged, sentenced, and incarcerated for the Stormy Daniels hush money trial, David Pecker is going to take the stand and admit to the catch & release part of the scheme, Michael Cohen is going to reveal in great detail how he funded Stormy Daniels, and Trump will be convicted before Election Day. He WILL do prison time before Election Day. Anyone supporting Trump at that point will be supporting a convicted and incarcerated felon. And then who knows, maybe Karen McDougal's case might decide to come up, since Stormy Daniels will go such a thorough job of publicly loving him over!

Probably Magic posted:The case for him winning that isn't just "CSPAM must eat poo poo" is that Biden is losing demographics, but not enough in the demographic that ultimately counts, insanely lovely Boomers. For them, his is the perfect president, and Trump Derangement Syndrome is rampant in their populace, so that could just be what does it, that he captured just the right demographic. The hit back on all of the D&D pollster people who believe this and will crow about it is, there is still material consequence to reelecting one of the most immovable and dangerously psychotic presidents. Trump listens to people, it's just the worst people in the world. Biden only listens to himself. One of those is more terrifying, and it's not the one libs think it is. I totally buy all of this, especially "the universe hates CSPAM predictions" part and yeah Biden could still win. But like, how? He's losing in GA, NV, AZ and probably most of the rust belt. He barely won in 2020 and he's doing worse in all the states he needed to win in 2020 and even then the margins were close in the rust belt.

If biden takes WI, MI & PA + the one NE district he gets there. But that's a big if & those states lose any meaningful percentage of their core dem-ographics then
