What if, many years ago, the very first time it became clear that Manchin wasn't on board with the Democratic Party agenda, the Party withheld resources and forced him to run as an Independent instead of a sanctioned Dem? That way, when the time comes when they need ideological unity to accomplish their agenda, they have it? Well that sounds like some very basic things I'd expect a political party to do, and if they're not doing that, I'd have some questions about how seriously they were approaching this whole "governing the country" thing.

Unfortunately, as it was explained in great detail in the various iterations of the bad thread, doing anything at all ever that might have hurt Manchin's feelings is actually a double authoritarianism and possibly illegal.

Of course they do, that's the point.

And if Trump wins and inevitably does decide to close the border, liberals will twist themselves into knots explaining how it would have been ok for Biden to do but it's a massive human rights violation that the Bad Orange Man did it instead.

And posting any articles like that one will result in a probe for dredging up the past.

the nevada dems, as well as a thousand other examples of how the democrat elites shut out anyone to the left of the party, or even not left but not showing fealty to the succlords (as aoc has now mastered), is why it's so weird when succers blame the left for just not trying hard enough.

as if aipac's billions or the fossilized leadership (in beliefs, if not age) or the defense industry or the health-insurance industry or the hundreds of other industries that pay to play the game of regulatory capture are just an irrelevant sideshow, instead of the grease behind the wheels of government.

I remember having the same argument back in the bad thread.
Dumbasses straightfaced claiming that the left's inability to merely overrun the party like a horde of World War Z zombies and through sheer numbers overcome billions of dollars in lobbyist money, a multimedia empire, and the party literally changing the rules to always win is proof that they just don't want it badly enough.

Remembering how Biden had to promise to have a black female VP in order to kneecap Bernie and now we have Kamala Harris because she was the most well-known one who would actually return his calls.

She probably things she's heir apparent for 2028 and it baffles me the mind of a politician surrounded by toadies croaking about silent majorities.

Nah, Biden was Kamala's backdoor into the White House.
She was the original establishment idpol pick, but she was such a gaping black hole of charisma that even the Dems couldn't maintain enough kayfabe to thumb the scales for her, so they attached her to Joe once they decided the party would fall in line behind him.

I will continue to swear that the plan was to either MeToo him or otherwise force him out, but they saw how loving rabid the base was to fall in line behind a doddering old white guy with a blue tie that they decided to let it ride instead.

The DNC, its donors, and its media allies were searching for every possible option for a champion to "save" them from Bernard. They pretty much refused to accept that Biden would be the guy to do it until the last possible moment (3 days from Super Tuesday)

Though in their defense, Biden's campaign did look close to dead in the water during Iowa-New Hampshire

Sure, they wanted someone who wasn't likely to die of old age within the next 4 years. They needed their next Obama; young enough to get some mileage out of the investment and establishment as all hell.
But the current crop was not being accepted by the voters, which forced them to put all their chips on Joe and come up with the whole "He's the only one experienced enough to save you from Bad Orange Man." narrative that really got the libs into a voting lather.

The trials are better than any possible campaign he could mount and the only people that don't see this are hopelessly deluded because they hate and despise him and want this to be a big harmful deal that hurts him.

The NYT page about seizing Trump Tower people want to jerk off over will be one of the main graphics in the historical account of his second win.

Agreed on this.
It's only confirming to Trump suporters that the "deep state" really is out to get him, which will make them want to get out and vote.
For the libs, it's just catnip. It's humiliation porn for them to jerk off to while picturing him in a big dirty diaper and a "Very Poor" poverty barrel.

For the average person who isn't terminally politics brained, it's nothing.
Trump's money crimes are so abstract that there's no way to succinctly explain how (if at all) what he did affects anybody who isn't a bank.

Is Trump lying about property values the reason that milk is $10 a gallon? Is it taking money directly out of my wallet? Then why, as a normal person, would I give a poo poo?
What it IS showing me though is that people are more concerned with this whole dog&pony show than anything of substance, and that's going to make me decide to either sit at home or otherwise not bother supporting the dems.

If he wins, it'll be credited as in spite of the leftists.

Either way, the next several years are going to be nothing but blaming the left for any failures or weaknesses on the part of the dems, just like it has been since 2016 at least, reminding us that the beatings will continue until we all admit that better things aren't possible and we should be grateful for whatever scraps they deign to throw into the trough for us.

I think telling them that you're not voting at all pisses them off as much, if not more, than saying, "I'm going for Dr. Jill Stein". Voting is a right, and you're privileged to vote however you choose - just not that way.

Nah, I think voting 3rd is still the greater sin to them.

Not voting is merely failing to surrender a dem's rightfully entitled vote to them. Voting 3p is, in their mind, stealing that rightfully belonged vote and giving it to someone else, and according to lib math, doing this somehow manages to simultaneously remove a vote from the dem's existing total as well as adds one to the 3rd party candidate's total and adds 5 to the republican total.

the thing about "they want to ban TikTok because of all the pro-Palestine content on it" is that how does that reconcile with Twitter? I mean I guess you could claim that the userbase has declined significantly since Musk's takeover, but it's also incontrovertible that there's a lot of pro-Palestine content on it also

it's almost certainly the case that the TikTok ban is still primarily motivated by reasons of economic protectionism: the USA does not want the most-used social media platform to be a non-American social media platform. And we know this because they were already trying to ban TikTok prior to Oct 7; we already had state governments banning TikTok from government-issued phones prior to Oct 7

the intersection with Israel-Palestine just happened to give the initiative a big push

It's because, like you said, Twitter isn't "it" anymore.
They're trying to punish young people for protesting the wrong things, and that means going after the most popular platform.

Could have been Twitter years ago, it's TikTok today, it'll be something else in a couple years when Gen Z gets replaced by the next age group.

Makes me wonder how this is handled if Trump is in office.

VBNMW is going to hurt the Dems, I think, because of the contradiction of the Good Guy party supporting genocide. Trump was already president and didn't support a genocide, so making the case that genocide is the lesser of two evils compared to Trump getting elected is... a tough sell.

You underestimate the ability of Libs to rationalize and retcon their way out of any troublesome thinking.
As far as they're concerned: Joe never supported a genocide, but Trump loves genocide almost as much as he loves being gay for Putin and can't wait to do more genocides and was always talking about how much he loved grabbing genocide by the pussy.

If it ever looked like Joe was endorsing genocide, no he didn't. And even if he did, it was less genocide than Trump is going to do, which means it isn't really a genocide when Joe did it because technically what he did doesn't 100% fit the Webster's definition.

I really think they either want to lose or do not care about losing.

Wow, very cool and not at all anti-semitic to see a major media company label a huge Jewish political group as a foreign and insidious agent!

I touched on this theory awhile ago, possibly back in one of the bad thread iterations, but I think the big misconception here is that we have an entirely different idea of what constitutes Winning and Losing compared to what the actual politicians consider to be Winning and Losing.

Like, to our feeble peasant understanding, winning would be "Getting the most votes and elected to office in order to push for bills and reforms"
To the people actually in power though, winning is "Being paid exorbitant amounts of money and having prestige among the commonfolk without actually having to do anything."

Pelosi "lost" her Speaker position, but she still gets to do all the insider trading and ice cream hawking she wants. If AOC lost her seat tomorrow, do you think it would take her long at all to land some lucrative gig as a commentator on MSNBC or get in with some lobbying firm, or hell, just have someone ghostwrite a book for her and hit that circuit?

When one of us loses our job, it's catastrophic. We now face homelessness and being rapidly crushed by our debts (rather than slowly crushed), we lose what little protection we had through what passes as health insurance.
