The 2006 blue wave was a fun time and exactly what the GOP deserved for threatening to gently caress with social security. Nothing much came out of it besides that one goon made Mallard Fillmore parody comic and owning Bush.

I wonder what he means by “pro-family”. Probably not subsidized healthcare or mandatory paid leave or any of that commie freeloader bullshit. Maybe some (means tested) tax breaks at best. He’s still trying to thread that old needle between social conservatives and lolberts. On the other hand, people off all political stripes are going apeshit over bitcoin so I doubt that will hurt him.

Lib friends insist Biden doing nothing is fine because he’s showing respect for our institutions and the office of the presidency by not going overboard with executive orders. Doesn’t matter the GOP won’t operate the same way, two wrongs don’t make a right!

A friend of mine calls himself an Eisenhower Republican and really likes Biden. His litmus test for whether or not he likes politicians is how dignified they appear and how much they respect norms and decorum. He insists on holding the Republican label in spite of despising almost all of the modern GOP because he’s from the Great Plains and considers it a key part of his regional identity. He can’t be the only one.

We bought a nice house in a mid-sized town close to family in Georgia (not near Atlanta, natch). Wife invested in the right company at the right time and we were able to afford a down payment pretty easily after selling high. I take a look at Zillow prices at *literally* anywhere west of the Rockies when I want a good laugh. loving tiny-rear end houses in Idaho Falls and exurban Phoenix are now north of 350k? No wonder people are so blackpilled. I can’t even tell people to get off their coastie high horses and come on down to Dixie with me because it started getting stupid in the last year here, too.

bedpan posted:As of this moment, dems are in control of the house, senate, and presidency. Biden can cancel student loans unilaterally, based upon existing legislation and powers, this very moment if he wanted to. If the issue was that a law needed to be passed, the law could be passed this same day. This being the case, why don't we have student loan forgiveness? “Biden doesn’t have a clear mandate and he’s being poised and respectful by not forcing the law through with a bare majority of votes.”

Shear Modulus posted:i don't agree that nixon beating JFK would have stopped the movement conservatives from taking over the republicans. all the big anticommunist oil money was already reshaping the party, and barry goldwater for example was already established by 1960. the only thing stopping them from overtly trying to redirect the part prior to 1960 was eisenhower's overwhelming popularity. If Ike didn’t run we’d probably have President Robert Taft and the whole thing probably would’ve started a decade earlier. Plenty of Americans had Got Theirs by the 50’s and were ready to throw the whole safety net in the garbage.

What’s up with the apparently high number of split tickets? Fickle suburbanites who usually vote Republican who threw the Dems a bone because they don’t want abortion *quite* that illegal? Idiots who enjoy a vague idea of “balance” between the two parties? Who are these people who reelected Kemp but went for Warnock?

I honestly felt way safer in my iffy SF apartment than in my house here in the chudlands. Would-be thieves would have had to get through three locked doors just to get to my apartment that lacked anything worth stealing because I was too broke after rent and student loan payments to get nice things.

In Training posted:I thought for sure the Dems were washed in 2022. It wasn't as bad as I expected. But I'm confident that if Biden and trump are both alive in Nov 24 the Dems will be destroyed. A waste Dobbs saved the Dems’ bacon because it genuinely scared the poo poo out of even moderate voters. Handmaids Tale hasn’t become real yet so abortion concerns might not cut the mustard quite as much as last year. I also think people like Trump himself more than the empty suited low energy slimeballs that make up your average GOP politician, even if some of them have his seal of approval. Chance of Dem collapse next year feels much higher.

I predict Trump will keep his mouth shut on abortion besides the vaguest statements on how he respects life when people try to coax an answer out of him. He’s already gone on the record saying Dobbs went too far, but I doubt the religious right will stay home over it. I just don’t see the next year going well for Biden, in between two wars that are bound to be lost and an increasingly lovely economy. On paper that sounds like enough to sink an incumbent. Carter and Herbert Walker Bush lost over less. Dobbs seems to have really fired up voters and spooked moderates though, and they haven’t let their guard down yet. My opinion as the world’s shittiest tealeaf reader is that it’s an open question if that’s gonna be enough to save Joe’s bacon.
