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

 

[quaawaa]

Instead of spending half of your high school education learning about how Whitey killed the precocious 6 million god's chosen

Public school history classes cover the following topics:

• Unions. All companies are bad and all unions, even the ones controlled by the mob, are good. Not-so-subtle hints that today’s teacher union is good and to tell your parents to vote to give raises to the teachers.
• Indian wars. Indians are always portrayed as the victims and never the aggressors. Inter-tribe conflict did not exist.
• Feminism. Women were the slaves of their fathers/husbands until 1920/65. Women are oppressed today.
• Slavery/Jim Crow. The only reason why the Confederacy hated the north was slavery and you’re racist to think it was more complex. Blacks today are just as oppressed as under slavery. Poor White sharecroppers did not exist. Discrimination against any non-black ethnic group did not exist.
• WWII. The Nazis killed some Jews because Nazis are evil people. The US interned Japanese-Americans because they were racist; no mention of the internment/surveillance of German and Italian-Americans or of the Niihau Incident. Nothing else happened in the war; Weimar Germany never existed.
• Cold War. Senator McCarthy, a member of the House Un-American Activities Committee, was a very bad and crazy man who got innocent people fired due to his paranoia. Vietnam war protests were amazing and totally weren’t riots run by proto-antifa. The CIA overthrew a bunch of governments in South America; the KGB never did the same.

Nothing else is covered. Every year will start off with the teacher saying something like “and now I’m going to teach you the real story that others don’t want to tell you” before preceding to teach the exact same thing as the previous year.

Is it any wonder that kids graduate hating the country and each other? They’ve been told this crap daily for 13 years.

 

[The Last Stand]

Since Trump was accidentally elected. I think that voting does have an impact. But only if they are able to overwhelm the rigging in place, which happened in 2016.

Ah, yes. 65+ million Americans all accidentally pressed Trump in the ballot machines in 2016. Just like a few million ballots for Biden suddenly showed up during the final count. I suppose you'll tell us that hundreds of Tibetans just suddenly disappeared as an elaborate troll against China?

How do you fence sit a position where civilians are being killed in a war between two overzealous countries? "Hamas bad, but they did something too."

How do you fence sit a position where civilians are being killed in a war between two overzealous countries? "Hamas bad, but they did something too."

Very carefully, when your base has decided that Hamas good, and they were justified because white people are bad.

 

[Michael Wade]

Yes and I said why at the time. It was Garland doing it and any time he asked the Biden adminproper to do something, they just rubberstamped it without looking.

He had no oversight and nobody spent even a second to glance at what they signed off on.

I want your opinion on blinkton. He's basically president now right? How shit is his performance and ability in your opinion?

 

[AnotherPleb]

Basically Biden wants to aid Israel without having to publicly look like he is aiding Israel. Apparently the administration is trying to quell internal dissent from his own party when it comes to people not wanting to back the Israelis but the fact it is willing to go so far to hide the records of any kind of weapon deals taking place shows how bad the situation is.

The problem is that even if he does it secretly there's half of his party that would gladly leak that kind of deal

Hello, Shareblue shill.
The internal polling must be AWFUL for you to be desperately pushing voter suppression on the ancient internet.
I take it that without a major anti-voting meme campaign from the right 2024 is going to be a massacre on the level of Labour 2019.

The problem is that even if he does it secretly there's half of his party that would gladly leak that kind of deal

If he's not publicly in support he loses the jewish mafia who control the media.
The optics of jihadis marching en-masse in the united states is unimaginably bad, a gigantic "The Chuds Were Right Holy Fuck" black swan moment to normies.

It would be hilarious if B*den got away from his handlers and, in confusion, joined the protestors.

I read the sign on Biden in this as "FREE PIES" at first.

IMO if you don't even make the attempt you don't get a say in the solution. Yes there's fraud, yes politicians across the West are bought and paid for - but if you don't at least try to hold up the system you purport to want you can sit down and shut the fuck up. If voting never mattered 2016 would never have happened, so take your black pill and shove it up your ass.

Counterpoint being that in the USSR just like in the US, not voting is just as much assent as voting, for differing reasons though obviously. In the case of the US, either your vote gets cast "for you" as we've seen in the past two elections, or prior to that the machine would and still does just make non-political excuses at best or worst politically slanted on both controlled op media outlets for why people didn't turn out.

If you seriously want to "stick it to the man" wrt voting, voting third-party or putting in protest votes (Harambe votes in 2016 for example) are much more effective at that message. If 60M people in the US voted for "bugs bunny esq" for president, it'd hit a lot different than 60M people not voting. TLDR; don't vote and your vote just becomes mad libs for media whores.

Not voting at all is still retarded.

Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds to endorse Ron DeSantis for president at Monday rally in Des Moines​

Gov. Kim Reynolds' decision to endorse Ron DeSantis is likely to anger Donald Trump, who has already accused Reynolds of being insufficiently loyal.​

Brianne Pfannenstiel
Des Moines Register

After months of quietly signaling her support for Ron DeSantis, Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds will formally endorse the Florida governor for president at a Des Moines rally Monday, sources close to both confirmed to the Des Moines Register.
The endorsement is an enormous win for DeSantis, who hopes to harness Reynolds’ star power among Iowa Republicans as he looks to jumpstart his stagnant campaign and establish himself as a clear alternative to front-runner Donald Trump in the race’s critical final months.

Reynolds plans to speak at DeSantis’ predebate rally Monday as well as a Davenport meet-and-greet Tuesday morning. She will then fly to Miami to help him fundraise around Wednesday’s debate.
In an Oct. 25 call with Iowa reporters, DeSantis said earning Reynolds’ formal endorsement would be “a huge get” for his campaign.
“I think what she’s been able to do in Iowa has really been a model for how people should govern,” he said. “… Clearly, I think she could have a really significant impact. And I think any candidate running would be a fool not to want to have the support of Reynolds.”

The decision is likely to anger Trump, who has already lashed out at Reynolds over her apparent coziness with DeSantis, accusing her of being insufficiently loyal. Reynolds was a firm Trump ally while he was in the White House, but she withheld any endorsement of him early in the 2024 race.

'Go home!':GOP crowd boos Trump criticism; lawmakers flip from DeSantis at Orlando summit
It’s rare, though not unprecedented, for Iowa’s top elected officials to weigh in on behalf of candidates ahead of the caucuses.
U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley endorsed his good friend, U.S. Sen. Bob Dole, in 1988 and 1996, and former Gov. Terry Branstad encouraged Iowans to caucus for anyone but U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz in 2016.

But it’s far more common for Iowa’s high-profile political figures to take a hands-off approach. Grassley and others have pledged to remain neutral this cycle.
Reynolds, too, had initially ruled out endorsing anyone ahead of the Iowa Caucuses, saying she preferred to welcome the full slate of candidates into the state. But, more recently, she opened the door to the possibility.

At an Oct. 25 news conference, Reynolds said she was still weighing an endorsement, suggesting she felt compelled by big national issues like inflation and border security.
“It’s just too important,” she said. “This next election is too important.”

Reynolds has appeared on the campaign trail with every presidential contender. But she appeared to strike a strong, early relationship with DeSantis, introducing him to Iowans during his first trip to the state in March and appearing frequently with him and his wife, Casey.

Reynolds and DeSantis have charted similar political paths, growing their national profiles amid the COVID-19 pandemic when they led Republican states in pushing back against shutdowns and mask mandates while leaning into controversial culture war issues.
Both governors have signed laws prohibiting school instruction in LGBTQ topics, offering state-funded private school scholarships to all families, and banning abortions after six weeks of pregnancy. Trump called the Florida version of that bill “a terrible mistake.”
DeSantis has even said he would consider Reynolds as a vice-presidential candidate.

How much will Kim Reynolds’ endorsement help Ron DeSantis ahead of the Iowa caucuses?​

According to an October Des Moines Register/NBC News/Mediacom Iowa Poll of likely Republican caucusgoers, DeSantis is tied for second place with former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley. They are at 16% — well behind former president Trump, who is at 43%.
No other candidate cracks double digits.
DeSantis’ campaign and allied super PAC have poured millions of dollars into amassing the state’s largest field operation ahead of the caucuses, though he has failed to gain traction in the polls. In fact, his standing has slipped in the Iowa Poll and in other national polling.
Reynolds, who remains deeply popular among Iowa’s Republican base, could be a powerful ally in helping to consolidate support.

“I would say with a great deal of confidence that Kim Reynolds is the only person in the state of Iowa that could be a king or a queenmaker,” Republican Party of Iowa Chair Jeff Kaufmann previously told the Register. “There's a lot of people who like to cast themselves as kingmaker because it helps them to push their organizations, but she's the only one that could be.”

In Iowa, Kim Reynolds is more popular than Donald Trump​

According to Iowa Poll data, Reynolds is viewed more favorably among likely Republican caucusgoers than any of the presidential candidates.
In August, the poll found that 81% viewed her favorably, including 50% who viewed her very favorably. Another 18% viewed her unfavorably and 1% were not sure.

In the October poll, which did not ask about Reynolds, 69% of likely GOP caucusgoers say they view DeSantis favorably and 26% view him unfavorably. Another 5% are not sure.
Trump is viewed favorably by 66% and unfavorably by 32% with just 1% not sure.
But it’s also not clear whether a single endorsement can substantially move the needle in DeSantis’ favor.
“The thing is that Iowans, what you love about them is that they're very savvy. And yet, they like making their own decisions. So, endorsements only go so far,” Family Leader President and CEO Bob Vander Plaats previously told the Register. “… There's no guarantee others will follow the lead.”
Vander Plaats is also weighing whether to endorse in the race. He said that endorsements could be meaningful if they begin to show Republicans coalescing around a Trump alternative.
“I think there could be a potential where, you know, you could see a domino effect of different endorsements,” he said. "If they all rally around one candidate, that'd be a signal to a lot of people.”

More:In Iowa, a Trump win appears inevitable. Is the fight to catch him meaningful or delusional?
In a February interview, Reynolds said that she believes Iowans are looking for a winner.
“I just think that they think it's important that we take back the White House, so I think they're looking for somebody that can win,” Reynolds said. “So, they want to feel confident in the message. They want to believe that they're going to do what they say they're going to do.

With how repulsive Ron is now after calling the entire GOP base "cultists", this could lead to Reynolds losing the next election due to depressed turnout.

I should probably sue Shareblue.

They haven't paid me for stealing that meme from reddit just to troll that earlier comment about voting.

 

[Potatoherder]

Reynolds is RINO whore thru and thru, all her praise comes from simply not vetoing bills the Iowa congress passed. And that is because she knew should she veto it would have gone thru anyways. It could take him above Haley but nowhere near Trump and she'll have killed any chance of herself getting placed into a Trump admin.

 

[X Prime]

Education is just indoctrination at this point, yeah. Glad I busted out of it when I did. You either come out of college a liberal or drop out a conservative from the shit you're exposed to there. Home-schooling is far superior anyhow. They don't teach you any actual practical skills. It's a glorified daycare and brainwashing center.

It is possible to come out of college a right-winger, but you basically need to be hanging around someone right wing to start with. And that person has to be the one helping you throughout your entire college career.

Most left-wingerism is really just unconscious socioeconomic cost-benefit analysis.

Well its now no longer super duper sekrit.

Biden should say Hi to them.

And give them Hummus with Juice.

Pretty much. How long you spent in there determines how deep into the left you're embedded or how far to the right you end up in reaction to it. Object example: my user name.
To be honest, as someone who spent far too long in that world, I think that people both overestimate the amount of effort it will take to remove the cancer, but underestimate the amount of time it will take to do so. It is absolutely necessary that it be done, however.

Contra a lot of other kiwis, I strongly disagree that the institutions should be gutted and turned into the equivalent of STEM trade schools. You can't win the culture wars without cultural weapons, and you're not going to successfully pass high culture through the generations with home-schools, for-profit enterprises, and "just reading the Western Canon". It's a skillset. One that has remarkably little utility outside academia for those who possess it, but necessary for a society to maintain its intellectual traditions and heritage over the long haul.

Academia is debased and perverted. It was one of the first pinions of our society to be corrupted thusly. But the reasons why it was the first to be co-opted demonstrate why it is so necessary that the institution itself remains.

My path to reaching hyperborea started as soon as I saw my first paycheck was cut by 40% due to taxes and every entry level job posting wanted 2 years of experience, even though its entry level, not amateur level.

A march through institutions is important and perhaps co-opting them would be better then outright destroying them but any attempt to do so would like trying to root out a vicious weed suffocating the growth of intellectualism. Letting postmodernists and delusional communists run amok in universities and colleges for decades has been an unmitigated disaster.

It can be reversed somewhat so that at the very least there could be a right-wing foothold in such environments but the reality is that is an uphill battle where liberal and socialist "activists" will use as many means as possible to stop their opposition. There is a lot of talk today about things like parallel economies for conservatives, for academia in particular, people on the right-wing in the USA as it stands currently would probably need their own parallel community with its own publications, summits and conferences where they don't get automatically ostracized for not thinking the right way.

The ultimate issue is a lack of zeal.

Leftists do what they do because they have messianic delusions. Most right-wingers simply don't have that.

Leftists do what they do because they have messianic delusions. Most right-wingers simply don't have that.

They believe they are building their way to a utopia (that hasn't and will never exist) so they are very much into a mindset of the "ends justify the means". Their ideology fosters an environment that can breed political zealots very easily.

The right-wing could try to manufacture their own idea of an impossible dreamland to be achieved. There is a good chance that could backfire though.
