Trump won two terms he would be constitutionally prevented from running again. Sorry CHUDs, even when you win you lose!

Actually, he has to serve two full terms, so he could win again and serve properly this time

It wouldn't be a great victory but getting everyone to admit that Joeseph Robinette Biden is illegitimate and the DNC cheated their asses off to win would be something I am in to win on.

A fairly small percent of the population actually has student debt, something like 10%. Even fewer have severe student debts. It's a case of the squeaky wheel making a gigantic fuss and making people think every single person under 50 has untenable debt. They need to do more to motivate all the moderates and democrats without student debt they may have pissed off.

but those people who do have insane student debt are people like me, highly educated urban professionals who happen to make up the bulk of the Democrats core voter base. so while it may anger independents and Republicans, there's no guarantee they'll show up to vote, while getting the dyed in the wool dems to vote may be enough to save a few seats

I don’t entirely disagree with the “win, fuck ethics” bit at this point. It’s ultimately what Trump represents when you think about it. The other side is so far gone at this point that bothering to hold to standards when dealing with them is innately dangerous.

You don’t treat a rabid dog like a rational actor. You end the thing as soon as is expedient for your own sake, everyone else’s sake, and the poor thing’s sake

I think its less "Win, fuck ethics" as much as it is a rising concern that "If we don't win, their ethics leave no place for us to exist" - To the Right, the Left is a beast to be left to eat their own, with efforts to protect minors and others rights from their excesses. If California wants to be the leftist containment zone, conservatives would cut it off and leave them to it, build a wall even. To the Left, the Right is a cancer that must be destroyed and suppressed. The left refuses to permit spaces that disagree with them to exist. While not a left/right issue, the keffals fuckery is endemic of them, a place cannot be permitted to exist that allows the opposition.

he's so close to saying it
just that one magic word

He's said it before... twice in fact. It's just that both times were subtle enough for people to hand-wave it away.

He needs to say the word when he's in his "I AM YELLING NOW TO SHOW I AM SERIOUS" mode so it comes out so pronounced, the left/media can't hide it away.

I can't figure out why they don't legalize marijuana. It would soften Kamala's image, throw red meat to their base, and make the Republicans cede the issue or engage in a losing culture war issue.

My theory is the prisons don't want it. That'd cut massively into their supply of fresh meat, and it's also not even that partisan of an issue anymore. With how far the window has shifted there's a lot of pro weed people on the right today.

Everyone I've spoken to IRL regarding cars has expressed interest in biting the bullet and buying a new, or extremely close to new, car. The prospect of "the 'greenies' getting their way" and banning the manufacture of gasoline cars within the next few years is too terrifying to ignore.

Extremely fascinating to learn that Germany is going back to the 1800s with firewood shortages. Meanwhile my entire family's utility bills have skyrocketed and my coworkers have talked about it.

I recycle, try to waste as little as possible, and garden, but "green" is such a fucking scam. California banning non-electric cars would finally kill the state for good, and I'm not sure if that would be a blessing or a curse for the rest of us.

Ranked choice is a smokescreen designed to create the illusion that candidate has a majority backing of it's constituents. A city in my state has it and in the first round of a mayoral election a conservitive candidate would have won by a hearty margin (45%) over the cloud of dems they were running against not managing to get over 15% of the first vote. But because of ranked choice that candidate lost because it just became a dem party "second primary" and pushed all the (d) votes to one candidate. It made the message clear, the dem party is immune to spoiler candidates.

That's literally what's supposed to happen. If the majority of voters want a Democrat candidate to win, then the Democrat candidate is supposed to win. So long as you can guarantee that the votes cast are legitimate, IDGAF. The idea of spoiler candidates is bullshit.

This actually isn't a terrible line for them once Joe outlives his usefulness (in 6 months or so): "Joe and ONLY Joe (plus whoever in his inner circle is currently politically inconvenient) did some fucky shit in the 2020 election, so we're going to do The Right Thing and pressure him into resigning. Of course, whoopsie-doopsie, there's no remedy for a stolen election so we're just going to keep the office and everything he did with it, but now we've jettisoned the loser and the problem is solved. So solved in fact that we don't need any election integrity laws or anything because you can count on the system if anything weird happens as we just demonstrated."

I've mentioned this before and I'll do it again; if shit looks super bad and that the House is lost at least, I would not be shocked if TPTB don't try and cut a deal with Mitch to remove Biden and make Kamala stifle herself.

Maybe even throw in the straight up murder of Hunter Biden (killed by an "overdose") to justify forcing Biden out with a "heart attack/stroke" to explain away Biden's worse than imagine health problems. Hunter is murdered, Biden has a "stroke" that has rendered him bed ridden and explain away why he's no longer all there mentally (brain damage), and 25th Amendmented. Kamala takes over, but won't be allowed to do shit and TPTB basically try and rebuild uniparty relations with the GOP to ensure they can cockblock Trump/suborn DeSantis.

I can't tell if he's serious or not, and he has such terminal irony poisoning he probably doesn't either. I fucking hate these people.

Legalizing pot is a pandora's box sitution (we don't know how BADLY it will fuck shit up if every tom, dick, and harry can get high with no consequences), not to mention Big Tobacco would be furious as fuck (since they haven't made the necessary moves to corner the legal weed market) and the fact that the cartels would probably be pissed off too; especially at the Democrats (coughincaliforniacough) who have ties to them that know how hardcore cartels can be towards politicians who cross them.
