BonoMan posted:I feel like DeSantis is a much more dangerous president than Trump. Being able to accomplish just as fascist things with less of a veneer of bombastic idiot-ness. Am I overthinking that? 100% DeSantis has come through the pandemic looking pretty good, and I’d imagine lots of moderates think he has the right approach to things. He frames his positions in a “common sense” way that appeals to low info voters (eg: “I just don’t think we should be allowing MEN to play in WOMEN’S sport leagues!!”). I’ve even seen papers like the Washington Post publish “DeSantis was right!” op eds. He terrifies me, my only hope is that he’s too charismatic to beat Trump. His voice is really whiny

DarkCrawler posted:What people? Literally nobody gives a poo poo about Hillary than rich people who just want to say they met her because she is famous, conservatives who think she's the devil and leftists who think she's the devil and none of those take her political opinions seriously. She’s still very popular among the liberals I know, and why not? The democrat bench is so thin that even an aging never-was like Hillary is a top contender by default. What gives you the basis for your statements like this, anyways? Is this just based off the posts you read here?

I looked it up and the most recent poll I could find for her approval ratings is from 2018 but given her popularity with democrats has been stable I don’t think the claim “nobody likes Hillary Clinton anymore” is evidence-based or reflects reality. From here: https://news.gallup.com/poll/243242/snapshot-hillary-clinton-favorable-rating-low.aspx Honestly, I didn’t think support for her remained so high. If there’s more recent polling that runs counter to these results, I’d be interested in seeing it E: oops, misquoted the post. “Nobody gives a poo poo about Hillary Clinton anymore” was the original claim. That’s not the same thing as popularity but high popularity among democrats makes me think that they do, in fact, give a poo poo about her.

Kalit posted:Are you sure you're not basing this statement off of conservative media? Just based off a casual google search, it's conservative news/media (Fox News, CPAC straw poll, NY Mag, etc) that seem to be pushing the narrative of Clinton 2024. Even after she stated that she is not running.... I think she could be considered a “top contender” because there’s no other competition. You’re right, there’s no official word from her or any democrat sources but still, if she threw her hat in the ring for 2024 I think she’d be the presumptive nominee. Who else is there? Solkanar512 posted:It’s only “thin” because you and the everyone else seemingly keep ignoring every blue state smaller than Illinois. This is fair, but I’m speaking mostly about presidential candidates. Are there exciting up-and-coming democrats that you think will run for president? Gavin Newsom clearly has his sights set on it but  . JB Pritzker has been a bit better than expected. I’ve heard Jared Polis name floated, and from what I know of him he seems like a pro-business idpol ghoul.As for the others from 2020 presidential campaign? Harris, Buttigieg, Warren, Klobuchar? Cmon that’s a dreadful bench for the democrats.

XboxPants posted:Yes, and that's "nearly" an argument in your favor. You can't say something almost happening, but ultimately not, is evidence on your side. sure you can, it's not black and white. Trump lost Wisconsin, Georgia, and Arizona by a combined 43,000 votes. If those states had gone to him, it would have been a tie and gone to the republican led house of representatives I hope you can understand how this has different implications than if Trump lost in a blowout

Looks like the buzz for Hillary 2024 is getting louder and harder to deny. The author is a former a advisor for Clinton so a)not a right wing plant like people like to claim b) he knows Hillary so is able to objectively speak on her abilities, not just regurgitate tired talking points. https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/3544103-now-more-than-ever-democrats-need-hillary-clinton/ quote:Earlier this year, I co-authored a piece for The Wall Street Journal that argued that a perfect storm in the Democratic Party is making a once unfathomable scenario — a comeback for Hillary Clinton in 2024 — highly plausible. I know posters in this forum don’t like Hillary Clinton but she’s the only Democrat with enough talent and experience to take control of this sinking ship. That’s just the facts.

is pepsi ok posted:She actually was once given total control of the sinking ship, along with a $1.6 billion dollar budget, and all her experience and talent managed to do was make it sink 10x as fast. That was eight years ago, times are different now. She’s ready to meet the moment! I think voters will look around and realize what could have been if Hillary would have won in 2016. Competent COVID response, legal abortion, etc etc. I don’t think they’ll make the same mistake this time .. do you?

Nelson Mandingo posted:Hillary lost to Donald Trump. That alone makes her radioactive. The only people who want her to run again are republicans and former surrogates and I'm amazed she's still paying the second ones to try to generate buzz. Her political career is done. Not only did she lose to Trump but she let her political enemies completely define her and never did anything to challenge those notions. Which Democrat would have a better chance of winning in 2024?

some plague rats posted:A better chance than Clinton? Biden, Pritzker, Mayor Pete, Bernie Sanders, Ron Perlman, Nick Mullen, me, the ghost of George McGovern, Biden - feeble old man. Buttigieg - too inexperienced .. Sanders is too weak, plus she already beat him. Pritzker might have a shot but he’s 5’6” and an unknown quantity when it comes to campaigning Nelson Mandingo posted:A piece of driftwood. But no seriously just about any other democrat. Her name is INFAMOUS, not famous. I don’t see it as going to bat for her, everyone else is just even worse somehow. I honestly think she’s the strongest chance they have to win in 2024, and I haven’t seen much evidence to contradict it. Just lots of subjective feelings from posters ITT — which is ok, but not really in the spirit of D&D

From here: https://news.gallup.com/poll/243242/snapshot-hillary-clinton-favorable-rating-low.aspx If someone has polling that contradicts this, I’d love to see it, but all available evidence is that Hillary is still popular among Democrats.

Blue Footed Booby posted:Has either party ever given up on a president so completely that they abandoned an incumbent who wanted to try for re-election? I wouldnt say they're giving up, this timely article points out that all the possible democrat contenders are supporting biden for re-election: https://www.cnn.com/2022/07/11/politics/biden-democratic-primary-challenge-2024/index.html quote:That hasn't stopped muted worries from going around the West Wing, according to four aides familiar with the conversations, that someone may yet emerge ahead of the President's planned spring 2023 formal reelection campaign launch. Biden advisers expect to stick to that no matter what happens, including if Trump decides to jump in early. There is one notable exception--Hillary Clinton. She's the most capable Democrat remaining and she's poised to make her return, dont be surprised to see big things from her coming soon (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Jarmak posted:The objective isn't to teach programming as a skill so you can go program things. The objective is to give a better understanding of how computers work through understanding some of the most basic digital logic concepts that underpin all of it. i don't disagree but that's closer to logic-based math problems than anything specific to computer programming. Clarste posted:If you work in a grocery store like half your job is bugfixing the self-checkout lanes. i took 'programming' to mean 'coding', if it's just tech troubleshooting then yes, we all likely do it within our jobs. but i think the utility of knowing actual coding concepts is limited. DeadlyMuffin posted:Do you see how your question implicitly states that the subject I was talking about is useless? It's tactless. the utility in learning about carpentry or wiring is not about knowing how to do a specific task, but why its done in the way it's done. Much the same as learning the basics of programming.

Ups_rail posted:I dont get this busing/flying people to blue cities/states. does it appeal to the GOP base? they love that stuff, at least based on my experience talking to conservative coworkers. No matter how dumb or self-injurious, they love to crow about the latest thing Desantis/Abbott/trump did to own the libs. Honestly though I don't think liberal/left-leaning people are any different. I'd chuckle and boast about Gov Hochuli passing a law that all firearms must be painted pink, or some other dumb antagonistic legislstion like that.

Discendo Vox posted:Infowars has periodically run into trouble with FDA over claims on their dietary supplements (which, again, are the profit engine that fuels a large portion of the worst fringe in the US), but it's not on the same level as KF in terms of direct organization of other criminal activity. A good activism campaign might theoretically get such a site shut down, but it'd be harder to motivate the population necessary, and it's just one of a constellation of major alt-med conspiracy companies. yeah, I'd rather not have the government poking around in my medicine cabinet. The supplement industry isn't perfect but it's better than the alternative as you've proposed it. I don't really wanna have to apply for a license to buy and store whey protein.
