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

 

[Gar For Archer]

Don't dismiss polling. Check its methodology. The issues with polls from major news outlets is that they are either willfully ignorant or hilariously biased. But if you ignore them and look at the less... partisan polling stations their numbers are much closer to reality.

And yes, the Dems are cratering in them.

Also, contrary to the popular myth of Dems always coming out to vote no matter what... this is in fact just that, a myth. One well propagated by forces that wish you to curl up and accept your fate and not actually question what you are being told. Democrats are no more immune to the fickle nature of their voters than anyone else, and in fact are often more vulnerable than most.

Stop and think why they constantly have to do voter drives for college kids, if it were true that their voters always go out and vote regardless. Or why black churches have to shepherd their flocks to the polls. Or why they really, really don't want limits on early voting. If their voters were really as die hard as the myth claims, none of that would ever be necessary.


Stop and think about it. All the massive voter drives, the need for cheating, the push for voting to be more accessible to the lazy.

Now stop and wonder why they do all of that if their voters really were gung ho to vote for them.

The truth is that the Democrat's voters aren't gung-ho. In fact they tend to be shockingly lazy, especially key demographics like the african vote or the college vote. What the Democrats do to overcome this is have a well-oiled, well funded turnout machine they crank up and use to keep their numbers aloft while their friendly Republican colleagues never really aim much at those vulnerable mechanisms because RINOs gonna RINO.

You’re wasting your time trying to talk sense into a retard doomer.

Only way to cure doomerism is to let them see with their own eyes that they’re wrong.

But that is just portrayed as "Lol, Republicans think healthcare reform is Marxism"

That particular strawman is probably the result of the corporate neocon wing of the GOP (and their pundits) loudly screeching about "socialism" any time someone suggested reforms that limited the power of the big megacorps or healthcare insurance lobbies during the 2000's.

Combine that with the Great Recession and its aftermath plus the lingering memories of the Religious Right alongside an academia that has been corrupted by far-left extremists and it's no wonder so many Millennials and Zoomers became woke Marxists, anarchists, and pseudo-socialist neoliberals.

My expectation is the inflation rate drops today. It will be a lie but they need a win so badly they're willing to just flat out lie and say inflation dropped to 6% or whatever.

I don’t think they’re that bold, but who knows. I think they’ll lie, but will say inflation was in the 7s. They’ll continue to lie a little more each month so the federal reserve can stop raising interest rates.

That'd still be high, and wouldn't effect shit. People don't vote on what they last heard inflation was at, they vote based on how they feel its reality.

Don’t believe your lying eyes.

A bit of cursory searching says that the expectation is 8.1%, which is nothing to hang your hat on. That won't stop them from trying (or just outright lying again).

It's at 8.3%.

I also do not give a shit about CRT, I don't know what it is, what it is good or bad about it. So I put it in a box, then I put all the people for CRT and everyone against in the same box and wrote FAGS DONT INSIDE OPEN on it. I don't give a shit about whatever garbage CRT is, I am talking about the fact that money rules your education system to a degree it is literally hurting upwards mobility in America.

Also COOL, the Rich are still getting richer and the middle class and the poor are still getting fucked. be it a red or a blue faggot in the Whitehouse.
However, it is a small matter. Keep fighting your culture-war bullshit and keep crying about meaningless shit like teaching the EVILS of socialism in school.
Better stop the HORDES and HORDES of COMMUNISTS in America, there are dozens of them DOZENS!!!

“I dunno what it is, so it must not be important! Dur hur hur you rethugligans”
Critical Race Theory is a legal philosophy that grew out of Critical Theory. Critical Theory is an academic cult based on a bunch of post-WW2 philosophers and thinkers wondering why Marx’s writings didn’t pan out. Instead of behaving like scientists (looking at the hypothisis, seeing how it didn’t match reality, and revising or discarding it based on observable evidence), they behaved like cult members whose leader just fucked off with the cash after their big prediction failed. They introduced a bunch of new academic gibberish (Freudian ‘psychology’, post-modernism) to hide the fact that Marx’s predictions on the direction of society were false.
In the 60s and 70s, Critical Theory burrowed into academia, and has spread its ideas into cultures across the globe. All the Tumblr bullshit? Rooted in Critical Theory. The push for pedo shit? Critical theory (During the French May Riots of 68, several prominent philosophers signed a letter demanding that the age of consent be abolished).
Critical theory is just cargo cult Marxism, and it has nested deep in the academic system. Largely because the domestic terrorist organizations that were active during the 60s and 70s (such as The Weathermen) managed to slip into academia and politics.
Communism is a threat, because it’s the Dunning-Kruger syndrome of ideologies. People who think that they’re smart buy into it, because it uses a bunch of long and fancy sounding words to state obvious things, and then mixes in it’s own bullshit so that gullible academics buy into it. And it is an inherently self-destructive and totalitarian ideology.

When the GOPe can't fight Trump, they use another person to split the vote. This is what happened eariler this year in Texas with Ken Paxton for AG, because Louie Gohmert and Eva Guzman ran to skim enough off Paxton to force a runoff with George P! Bush, Jeb!'s son. Paxton looks to be able to easily win the runoff but they wanted to make it harder and dirty him up more.


And Ukraine gets 40 billion more to launder, only 57 Republicans voted "no"

My expectation is the inflation rate drops today. It will be a lie but they need a win so badly they're willing to just flat out lie and say inflation dropped to 6% or whatever.

They kept their current methodology and reported it as 8.3 vs. 8.5 for March. Now, they could have tortured those numbers just like the job change numbers, and it really does feel like a lowball. The highest inflation in 40 years stuff is, in Biden's drooling parlance, malarkey. The real inflation rate has routinely been over 10 percent and is probably closer to 20 percent now. Every time it looked like the inconvenient truth of a double digit inflation report had to come out, the reporting agencies changed the methodology so they could report a number below 10 percent! Well, isn't that special!

There is this Unwritten Law out there that the US inflation rate can never be presented as 10 percent or higher in the 21st century. The Alternate Inflation/Historical Inflation people have talked about this for over 20 years on the internet. The most well-known of them ShadowStats. 1980 reckoning of inflation now puts it at over 15 percent for 2022 and well on its way to 20 percent.

Biden was supposed to be in the Chicago land area today. I haven't seen anything though.

His travel time suffered from inflation

America is pure fucking brain rot and this point.

Schools are shit, the government is shit, the rich are getting richer which is shit, healthcare is shit, wages are shit, the environment is shit and everything is shit.
OH, no better fight against communism, and by "fight against communism" we mean work against workers' rights, healthcare reform, education reform, and overall shit on everything.
If we get healthcare reform we will turn into COMMUNISM AND DIE!!!!
If we fix the education system we will get COMMUNISM AND YOU WILL BE TURNED TRANS!!!!!
If we close tax loopholes for the rich WE GET VANUZULA RAPE/DEATHCAMPS!!!!!!

My estimation is the rot in DC is so bad 90% of Democrats and 70% of Republicans sit in the uniparty. I expect the insane rhetoric from self described "leftists" to intensify as we get closer to the midterms. The fact that Trump can usually endorse an "outsider" to the political class, and get them to win a race is a bit anti-blackpilling.

I liked Tuckers recent open, he said what some of us have been theorizing. That since Western democracies are based on the principles of Christianity, the far leftists authoritarians need to erase Christianity in order to continue forward.

Pillen's fine, while Lindstrom would've been the Spencer Cox. Herbster has sex scandals, so maybe Nebraskans just thought "lol nope, no Roy Moore." Still would've been a great governor.

Political gayops like what happened with Herb though are gay.

The laptop class, on top of being liars, haw-haw about people not being able to feed their kids.



I want all the nightmares of AWFLs to come true.

 

[AGreatDipAtAFairPrice]

Uniparty had a 40 billion dollar bill for "the Ukraine" that was a bunch of bullshit for the department of justice, voting fraud shenanigans and "democracy fortification" and a bunch of other bullshit. Every single senator voted for it and not even 50 Republicans in the House voted against it. That's what the uniparty is. Mitch McConnell was practically blowing Chuck Schumer when he talked about the "Ukraine" bill. Of course, inflation has nothing to do with the multibillion dollar and multitrillion dollar programs coming out of congress 5 times a year, oh no!

I like how even gold is shitting itself. It’s truly over
