SgtMongoose posted:Anyone who thinks Hillary "won" those debates bought and still buys the media narrative that she was just the best ever and should be checked for residual brainworms. Yeah I watched those debates and I don't know how anyone could come off thinking Hillary wrecked Trump. He embarrassed himself a few times because he's a moron (like ranting about how he has the best temperament while the audience laughed at him), but Clinton's performance was absolutely horrible so it was more like a draw at best. Trump: *correctly explains why NAFTA was a bad deal for millions of American workers* Clinton: "well that's your opinion"  How do you lose a policy argument to Donald Trump of all people (answer: because your record of shameless flipflopping put you on the wrong side of a bunch of issues but you can't admit you were ever wrong no matter how obviously wrong you were that even Trump can remember a few facts about it from an index card)

B.F. Pinkerton posted:I dunno, Hillary was possibly the most obnoxious candidate in American political history, and yet she still managed to nab the third, now fifth, most votes in American electoral history. All Sinema has to do is yasssss queen slay her way to the White House and avoid making any corny remarks and she should be good as gold Hillary presented herself as a serious competent managerial type and did have an actual record of accomplishment in the Senate to run on like CHIP. She was also really obnoxious because she had a record of terrible stuff too and her defense for it was either a bunch of big word debate-lord sophistry or a stern lecture or whatever, but that kind of thing does actually appeal to some people, and some other people are willing to get over it because again she did occasionally do a good thing even while opposing better things. Sinema is just relentlessly annoying with no redeeming qualities whatsoever to anyone except other relentlessly annoying assholes. She wears gently caress Off rings and her senate record is just her grandstanding in the spotlight and saying no to almost everything with no rhyme or reason, even refusing poo poo that even Hillary of all people could be convinced to support.

Besides the chuds falling off of the capitol walls they were trying to scale instead of just taking the stairs, the funniest part of Jan 6 is 18 months of democrats harping on it like it was the worst attack on America since Fort Sumter while steadfastly refusing to hold anyone in power accountable for it because  Even if you care about 1/6 what does bringing it up over and over do except remind you that Democrats won't do jack poo poo about it because they don't want to lose their invites to the ringleaders' congressional yacht parties

Yeah I was always skeptical that people would care about Dobbs 5 months later. If it had come right before the election maybe, but Dobbs came and nothing changed for most of the country (because Roe was already effectively dead long ago and red states had already hounded most abortion providers out) so why wouldn't the immediate fear and urgency be fading by now. Especially with Dems in full control of congress and the presidency yet unwilling to do anything about it. What would we be voting for, more twiddling in DC while Republican state governments get to pass all the laws they want?

If they passed Roe into law and the Supreme Court overturned that too they could rile people up, but instead they held a show vote, two of their own party voted against it, and they just went "welp oh well Manchin is our good friend and we respect his decision to hate women because he isn't a Republican: VOTE" right after they had pulled out all the stops to protect more anti-Roe Dems in the primaries.

Coolness Averted posted:then you have dummies who will twist into pretzels to let you know that actually all serious adults knew Biden couldn't actually do what he said he was going to do, so really it's your own fault for trusting him. Also this mandate only applies retroactively. If you complain NOW that Biden broke his promise then you should have known in 2020 that he was lying just like all serious adults did so it's too late to complain in 2022. So you would think that they must have appreciated me as a serious adult when I did say that in 2020 but oh no, not at all. Judging Biden by his long record of opposing abortion rights and judging the Democrats by their constant predictable preference for retaining the filibuster over passing legislation? What a childish attitude, people can change, you petulant baby, just because they didn't pass it in 2009 doesn't automatically mean they'll never do it, idiot!
