US US Politics General - Discussion of President Biden and other politicians

 

[Sweet and Savoury]

Lol they’re saying “Ultra-MAGA” as if it’s an insult. Sure doesn’t sound like one to me- I think it sounds kind of badass. I agree, @FAQnews Correspondent, it would be great if more republican politicians started using it to where it definitively entered the US political lexicon. Much like Let’s Go Brandon being started by a left wing media mouthpiece in an effort to drown out FJB (which makes them seethe to this day), I feel like they’ve accidentally given us another awesome catchphrase.

Imagine if Trump ran again and used Ultra-MAGA as a slogan, or at least used it on merch? I picture it being used as part of a clean, minimalist design, like the Halston logo. That’d look fresh.

Well "Dark MAGA" wasn't doing so well with the normies. Probably too abstract for the adults and too edgy/attractive for the young'uns.

So they roll out the next attempt to swing the narrative once more with "Ultra MAGA" now being the new "Fascist" since the Proggies have used that one so much these last two months that it's lost all meaning. Hopefully the new trigger word will work to scare the masses into overlooking the incoming ecominc collaspe and voting blue no matter who in September.

Really, the Left Can't Meme is the honest truth. They just do not understand the world outside their self imposed media bubble.

Apparently its a 1 point race in Pennsylvania's GOP Senate race with Oz, Barnette and McCormick and with 15% undecided. I have no fucking idea who is going to win.

If you forced me, I guess I would choose Oz. Barnette is getting exposed as pro-BLM and critical of Trump as a Russian informant. We don't need another Tim Scott, and McCormick is essentially McConnell lite.

In that close of a race I'd assume whoever got the biggest endorsement. So Oz. While the undecided -could- break unexpectedly or the turnout -could- be low for the endorsed candidate. These are unlikely events. So short of something unexpected, Oz has the primary locked.

This does raise red flags for the general though. A bitterly contested primary this close can be a strong indicator of low turnout come the general election. Whoever wins, they will be in an uphill battle to convince their own base that they should set aside their differences and support them.

It was the new Trafalgar poll. Notably, they had Ohio within 4 points and had Dolan winning second. It may be that they are missing Appalachian PA and are oversampling suburbs and cities like Ohio, showing the race closer than usual.

Dolan is within expected margin of error, it was Mandell and Vance who are outperformers in the Ohio polling. Given everyone else, including Mandell, fall within expected ranges if Vance is the one to overperform due to unexpected turnout/break in undecided vote, the Trafalgar polling is actually well within all expectations.

So I am inclined to believe the Pennsylvania polling is pretty accurate since I don't really see any of them outperforming unless a trump endorsement is a massive swinger of the undecided vote.

So hey, something to look for. If the vote goes surprisingly well for Oz then the trump endorsement has a heavy weight on the Undecided vote.

Is it normal to have this big a block of undecided so late in the race?

Yes. All the way up to the second they step into the voting booth.

Since your here, what's your take on Barnette? Grifter, MAGA convert, Kim Klassik 2.0? And why are so many people seemingly good with instincts like Baris and Posobiec (to a much lesser extent) pointing towards her?

Short reason: She talks a good game and has more ground level support. I haven't been watching Baris closely since I have been focused on matters at my new base of operations, but Posobiec should always be taken with a heavy grain of salt when it comes to political predictions. Outside the Washington bubble his instincts are sketchy.

Adding onto this: A lot of otherwise good people are losing sight of the forest for the trees. They see someone who at least talks a good game of matching them ideologically (Barrette) and decide they want her, especially when the other choice is a seemingly bad option ideologically (Oz) but they are losing track of the fact that this is all in a battleground where someone like the person they support more ideologically -cannot win-.

Barrette has more support within the Republican party, but less support within Pennsylvania overall. A Trump endorsement -could- put her over... or it could not. The safer, more steady, and more realistic option is to support the better candidate but worse ideological match now and ensure a greater chance of victory.

Since your here, what's your take on Barnette?

I'm not him but I'll give you the midwit racist take. They're just trying to shift the fuckin party leftward on us. Every one of these black/gay/women candidates will ALSO turn out to be RINOs and I feel like I'm the only one who sees the obvious trap of electing a "Republican majority" Congress full of these people.

I don't even need to be told her policies to know she's bad. We can't even get White politicians running as MAGA to do a thing other than grandstand. People think a black woman will take care of business? It's a willful blindness to human nature. Salmon will swim up a waterfall but you're never going to find a catfish doing it.

The sob story is awful convenient and very black of her. "My momma was raped as a child. I'm a rape baby." Most women would hide that shame but black women have no shame. She's got a bitch face and a bad haircut. At least Klacik had a solid pair of bolt-ons. Pundits and experts might not think these things matter but my brain does.



Look, all I'm saying is, there's field slaves and house slaves, but at the end of the day, they're slaves...

That response gives me hope with a single line.

"He was recommended to me by some very weak RINOs and that is what he turned out to be".

Trump recognizes that he was sabotaged. And most importantly by whom.

I remember during the start of Trumps term, some of his cabinet or advisors were smeared in the media or charged causing them to leave? I can't remember exactly.

Trump put too much trust into the Republican establishment. I don't think he realized just how deep the rot actually went. So when they whispered in his ear to get rid of those who weren't part of the rot, he listened because he trusted these people he had been friendly with prior to becoming president.

Lines like the above make me think he realized just how deep it went now.

 

[Tinfoil]

Agreed, because holy crap. Elon is better at rekting people than Trump was.

The "Content Warning" really says it all. This is so hilariously biased that it is utterly divorced from reality. Assuming the timestamp you had it set to was on purpose, his foundational premise of "You could never get this from Republicans" is so off base as to be hilarious.

Very few Republicans outright are opposed to:
Campaign Finance Reform (Things like Citizens United benefited the uniparty as a whole, and while Democrats have often made noise about this topic they never actually do anything. Its all a show)
Healthcare (Republican and Democrats disagree on the best way to do it and on the requirements to qualify, but neither disagrees that some healthcare should be provided.)
Public Services (Lol at such a vague and overly broad term. But yah, see above).

Lol they branded TERFs as conservatives

Lol they branded TERFs as conservatives

You know, on the one hand, I DO NOT WANT the feminists, even the ones who have finally been pushed too far.

On the other hand, they're openly and proudly letting the 8% of their party throw out one of their largest, most loyal, most activist factions... all because about 6 years ago they realized there was an untapped vein of oppression they could claim ownership of if they just let the coomers and the autistics and the other weirdos expand the definition of trans a bit.

I'd love to see Brandon come up to sniff a kid and the kid just does this, as loudly as possible, to bring the maximum amount of shame to him:

Not that the MSM/TPTB would ever cover it, but still. It'd be hilarious.

There was that one time a girl slapped him away and he looked genuinely pissed. That could gain some traction again.

We saw it in 2020 when every one of the baste black Republicans immediately fell into line when St. George was martyred. They have no actual investment in conservative politics, they just want to take advantage of a political party with a shallower pool of minority politicians. It’s all about what the party can do for them versus the desire to serve their constituents. It’s like the baste black they keep pushing in Michigan who keeps losing - people aren’t very impressed with these types of candidates outside the CPAC set. Republicans are free to keep pushing them and they’re free to keep throwing away easy victories with them.

well that poll is very close to what happened.
