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

 

[LurkTrawl]

Too much hinges on an almost eighty year old man winning a rigged election and then living long enough to shepherd in a long-lasting movement after he is gone.

Bro that shit crumbles like a dried dog turd the moment any realistic considerations regarding how horrifically entrenched and byzantine the establishment and its various pressures/interests are.

I'm by no means what I'd describe as an "intelligent" man. But as fucking intellectually disabled as I may be I'm pretty certain that the manner in which this house of cards was stacked has - through design or accident - rendered it incapable of great change barring some form of collapse.

I mean think about it, what functionally can be changed through the system as it currently stands that could withstand the immune response it would get? I say nothing. Our system needs the equivalent of full-blown late-stage AIDS for it to happen or mean anything. Which is why I'm optimistic about everything falling the fuck apart.

Herrara's last hope is El Paso but I'm not sure if it has enough votes.

I mean, that's where I landed too. Its not impossible for it to change without the political equivalent of a nuclear strike. Sustained pressure over decades can do a lot. But in the end I think the former is -considerably- more likely than the latter.

Still, there is -a- route to the latter still open and until it closes definitively I won't stop mentioning when things happen that are helping it along the way. And, FYI, I consider Trump being defrauded a second time to be one such definitive close moment. Not the only one, just the most pressing one.

Come on Brandon. I know you can win this!

 

[Gehenna]

I am fairly sure he does not have it. There are only about 350 votes left and he has to make up 400 and change. So short of the vote totals being wrong, or an automatic recount feature in Texas law, this is done.

I don't see it, but you do you. I'll remain clapathetic about it.

I still think we get WW3 by the end of next year no matter what happens, anyway.

 

[Sweeter and Savoury]

I dunno I see the fact that Herrera came to within 50 votes as a pretty big win with the powers all aligned against him. Hell the Jews must have spent a million two on all those hit ads and negative press articles on top of what the uniparty spent to bolster Gomez.

That margin is going to give a lot of RINO's nightmares in the days to come.

I still suspect that when the numbers are that close, it's because the RINO's (and Demoncrats) added *just* enough fraudulent votes to tip the scale.

It is absolutely insane how many of this country's problems are down to well-off and therefore out-of-touch urbanites being brainless.

I am starting to think TTD should be TCDD: Total City-Dweller Death.

It's still a depressing loss. The silver lining is that the RNC is spending millions in tiny districts on primary races and only getting a coin flip for it. Imagine if they were as willing to throw money at general races in Georgia and Pennsylvania. I guess the money is better spent castrating liberty candidates.

 

[X Prime]

I don't know. If Biden "won" by 1 vote, we'd still have to deal with his disastrous administration for 4 more years.

I don't see how anyone "sweats" when they win by 1 when it is winner take all.

In a presidential race, absolutely nobody would sweat. House seats though come up every 2 years and are -much- more prone to swinging if a good contender appears. So losing by 1 vote there means you really need to worry about the next election. And, unlike a presidential or even senatorial election, House seats are much more at the financial whim of investors and their own party.

Also, again to highlight the differences, House seats are much harder to gin up support for the next election. A lot really do only coast on the incumbent advantage to stay in power.

Just all around house seats are much less secure so a narrow margin of victory means the next round could be a real nail biter. Especially in this case where the incumbent had every advantage stacked in his favor and won by only ~400 votes. He lost within the polling margin of error, despite a deck stacked in his favor. And he gets to repeat this fight in 2016 with a a fair bit of the advantage shaved off.

Trump is no Caesar. But its fascinating to see us go down the same road 2100 years later. Caesar pursued absolute power only when he knew the Republic was dead. The remnants merely fought to protect the idea of it though it was long dead. A Republic in name only ruled by completely corrupt "voting" and committees that did nothing but line their own pockets. All the while obfuscating any ruling they actually did. Which was little.

This is the point that we all know is coming. The American system is beyond saving. The Founders were completely right that it was not going to last forever unless consistently renewed.

Western Capitalism ultimately had nothing to do with it. The Chernobyl disaster alone showed that a main failure point was the government dictating truth to the point that legitimate problems were suppressed and hidden from people responsible for making decisions on things affected by the problem. Also because the Bolsheviks positioned themselves as representatives/decision makers of communal resource pools - which made them effectively filthy rich as they would use those resource pools for their whims instead of for the intended purpose of the state and the people.

This is one of the best in a nutshell summaries I've read. Completely accurate. The Soviet Union inevitably collapsed because the system itself perpetuated and incentivized sending incorrect signals at all levels (read: lying). This led the actual decision makers making wrong decisions constantly because everyone involved suppressed the truth about everything.

 

[The Nothingness]

But even the most dire hard anti-trump types know that straight up murdering Trump is opening Pandora's Box to some awful wetworks and carnage, the type that hasn't been seen in living memory.

From my experience, the TDS crowd would most likely say, "Good riddance," upon learning about Trump's death, the same way this country reacted to Saddam's execution. Keep in mind that they do not care how crooked all the court cases are. All that matters is the joy they get from these show trials.

 

[Ukraine is Big Gay]

I refuse to believe that so many controversial races legitimately always end up with the bad guys winning by a scant 2%

Half demoralization tactic and half easier cheating in the eyes of the sub 90s since the mask has been off for a decade now.

 

[General Emílio Médici]

I thought Herrera had already lost, he still has a chance? What a meme.

He still has his youtube channel and he still will keep going. The fact they not only spent 10 times as much on direct propaganda, but likely as much as 30 times as much as him in indirect propaganda to eek out such a nail biting scenario is pretty funny.

 

[BatterHomes&Gardens]

My God, fucking degenerates. Why would anybody gamble on an election unless they’re an addict?

That's why, Biden is trying to protect the degenerates.

[General Emílio Médici]

The gambling people are also historically very good at predicting the results ahead of time. The only elections they have missed were 2000 and I think 1960. 2020 was another one where they missed but that one was different because the bookies were really struggling to explain how the results didn't match.

No, it won't. They'll gloat and revel in the fact that this was the best MAGA could do in a Trump election year with all the winds of righteous MAGA indignation at its back. This is the high-water mark, and they know it. They are rejoicing, and they are laughing at people like you.

 

[General Emílio Médici]

Isn't that also what happened in 2018, 2020 and 2022? And every time the margins just get smaller, the gap between how much establishment spent and how much newcomer spent get larger?
