The Democratic Party's strategy appears to be focused on getting Joe Biden across the finish line in the 2024 election, even if it's just barely. Once they secure a win, they can potentially pivot to Kamala Harris, who embodies the party's diversity and progressive ideals. At this point, it's clear that Biden's advanced age and health concerns make it unlikely he'll be able to withstand the rigors of another four-year term.

Given the immense stress and demands of the presidency, it's reasonable to expect that Biden's health could become a major concern in the coming years. As a result, the party may be motivated to find a way to transition to a new leader, with Harris being a likely candidate.

This election cycle is likely to be marked by intense political machinations, and it's likely that the Democratic Party will have resort to controversial tactics to achieve their goals. This will include efforts to manipulate voter turnout, exploit loopholes in election laws, or even engage in outright vote rigging. Additionally, they will use their influence in the media and other institutions to shape public opinion and sway the outcome of the election. As the stakes grow higher, it's essential to remain vigilant and scrutinize the actions of all parties involved to ensure the integrity of the electoral process."
 
If you were Biden's shadow government, what's your October surprise?
I make it an October-November Surprise. In October leading up to Election Day, I'd get the CIA/FBI/NSA/whoever to start making a lot of loud noises and waves about Russian interference, really hammering it on like a drumbeat. I mean like, way bigger media waves than even they had post-2016. Once November rolls around, if Joe loses I make him refuse to recognize the validity of the election, that there were too many irregularities in Red States with voter suppression, that there are credible intelligence reports of Russian interference, and that Trump cannot be considered the legitimate victory. I use the media to hammer out all of the usual buzzwords about electoral fraud (voter suppression in Red States, Russian hackers, whatever sticks throw it) and prepare Federal agencies for the showdown.

And then I roll the dice. All or nothing at all.
 
The WEF put out a creepy paper outlining their plans to repopulate Ukraine with African and Middle Eastern immigrants and bring in Western corpos to strip mine resources after the war so between that and Russia's 20 to 1 KD ratio I'm not even sure I believe victory or even a stalemate was ever in the cards for Ukraine.

Hollowing it out to turn into a staging ground for Globohomo in Eastern Europe might have been the plan all along.
I swear, some of you niggers say the most retarded shit.
 
Even cities have like, what, 20% conservative voters? Well, maximise that 20% by putting dropboxes where conservatives congregate. Could easily swing a tight election
They should definitely try it. I'm just pointing out that up until everyone went bugfuck nuts, the reason Democrats were the only ones cheating with real numbers is that they could benefit much more greatly from this particular type of shady shit than Republicans.

This is your reminder that in 2020 the DNC wargaming of the election had a scenario where Trump won just like in 2016.

Podesta's reaction (the stand-in for Biden) was to threaten seceding with the west coast, order D governors on some states Trump won to send electors for him under claims of "voter suppression" to justify it. At which point the wargame collapsed because the House named "Biden" president but Senate and White House stuck with Trump and no one could accurately play the role of the US Military on the roleplay.

THEY OPENLY PUBLISHED THIS SHIT ON THE NEW YORK TIMES AND NO ONE FUCKING CARED!

I can't find the actual transcripts anymore, the site for the wargame org (Transition Integrity Project) is gone and I am not sure where I had seen the better describe happenings by some journalist but if anyone wants to look for it feel free.
 
Do you think the Traditional Democrats would work with say at least the Establishment RINOs to try and stuff down the progressive wing?
The first question is if the traditional/moderate democrats can do that without destroying the party. The answer, from my perspective, is no. If the democrats aren't in a civil war right now, they will be if they try to purge the progressive wing.

There's always a chance they'll catch him in a lucid time and he'll be.... well, better than the utter trainwreck he was last debate. Best case is probably how he was in the ABC interview, where he was mostly coherent but looked old as fuck, tired, and was a defiant, reality-denying asshole (which is his MO since forever). "Old Man Yells At Clouds" is the 'good' version of Biden now, but it's repellant and will never make up ground.
Have to disagree. I think a belligerent biden is worse for the DNC. For one, a lot of people have delt with an older relative who was incapable of doing things, like driving safely, but nevertheless insisted they could. It's one thing when that relative is a parent or grandparent and you have to take the car keys away. It's not fun, leads to resentment and anger that you wish didn't have to happen. It's another when that older person is the president of the united states that you've been lied to about their physical and mental state. Biden insisting he is fit for office and arrogantly brushing concerns makes him look exactly like that older relative.

Second, a belligerent biden is more like to get into a confrontation with Trump. Either verbally or physically. If I recall correctly, there were a couple of occasions when biden threatenedd to physically fight Trump in 2020. Another time he challenged Trump to a push up contest. An angry, aggressive biden may well decide to go over to Trump's podium and fight him. I don't know the legality of a former president defending himself against a current one would be, but I know it won't look good for biden. Especially if he loses. Or if he trips and falls trying to get to Trump. Or if he decides to do the push-up contest and can't get back up off the floor without assistance. In either case he's finished.

Simply to much that can go wrong with a belligerent biden. Better a passive, barely coherent one.

If you had to be in charge of redesigning the american political system what would you do?
I would personally double the amount of senators and representatives in each state so its harder for lobbyists to control government.
I like this general view, though I disagree with parts of it. I think the number of senators per state is good enough, but what needs to happen is that the Apportionment Act of 1911 needs to be repealed. What really needs to happen is a constitutional amendment that requires a house representative for every 30,000 US citizens.

If you don't make it that tight California and company will count illegals and criminals to get themselves a army of stooges.

I think at this point we can probably expect Biden to absolutely refuse to leave the White House and accept the election results, leading to the Democrats being embarrassed by the Secret Service escorting him out of the house and the Democrats trying to whip things up into a civil war.

During the 2020 election there was several steps where the president and the house and Senate had to sign off on the election results, and I can see one or more of them refusing to do so.
 
The problem is, all those schemes really only work when the Democrat candidate isn't sitting in the White House.
This is why I can't understand how single issue abortion voters support Biden. "Vote for me and I'll codify Roe v Wade into law!"

1- Roe was a judicial decision and the executive has no say over it.
2- Codifying a law is the House's job. He can ask for it but can't force it.
3- Roe was overturned while he was president, proving he couldn't or didn't want to prevent it.
4- Democrats have fundraised on codifying Roe for decades, and they've never introduced a bill during one of their multiple majorities to do so.

Why would they ever give you what you want when they know you're never going to vote for anyone but them? Why go out of your way to appease a demographic that's already 100% loyal to you?

It's because Democrats market themselves as pro-abortion and Republicans market themselves as anti-abortion.
 
Biden will stay until either; Trump gets in, or he dies. You don't change horse mid-race.

I reckon the media will start softly supporting Trump, doing the classic "Trump is a [fascist/nazi/racist] and here's why it's a good thing for American [jobs/wealth/security]."
Nothing will happen if Trump wins. Even the TDS have burned through their tantrum now and just want some warm milk and a nap.

Biden was made orange for a laugh, by a group of dems sick to death of biden.

I want it to happen just so Donald can shit on Joe even more.

"Little baby Joe is a loser, but he won't give up the White House..but that is fine, it will be hard to get the Old Man smell out of the Oval Office after 4 years of him anyways so I am happy living in Mar'Lago and making the Swamp come to see me if they want something."

No, it's because you need large populations that have large voter rolls. The way they cheat is by failing to clean up the voter rolls, so that ballots can be generated for all types of dead/fake people. Then NGOs and DNC funded organizations get those ballots filled out and submitted. The result is that a vote comes in that corresponds with the "official" record of voters on file. The places where this can work best have large, dense populations, aka cities. And Dems control most of those cities, and have controlled most for long enough that the corruption has become endemic.

Republicans could do ballot dropboxes and all that nonsense, but the DNC will have an advantage as long as the voter rolls are (purposefully) unmaintained and the people in charge of (failing to maintain) the rolls are Democrats. It took until after 2016 for Brenda Snipes, the democrat in charge of Broward County, Florida, to get busted and removed. And that took state intervention. In a place like Michigan, Minnesota, New York, California, etc. that's never going to happen.

No way the remaining DNC non progressive vestigal wing is gonna be able to purge the progressives from the party. Not after the progressives having spent over a century of purging those of insufficient purity to their Marxist cause.
 
I mean I used to be like this until I actually read the debate transcript (can see why Putin and the Democrats shat themselves, damn), but why do people assume trump is lying?
