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

 

[Sister Miriam Godwinson]

But I'm doubtful people will just sit back and accept the results this time around.

Yes, they will march on the Capitol and walk its hallowed halls, instilling fear and reverence in the senators and demanding justice. There may even be a buffalo hat.

I hope you're right, but until proven otherwise nothing ever changes and nothing ever happens is the safe bet. They got away with it clean, no judge would touch it, any lawyer that did faced life ruining consequences. They are locked in on this course is my read on the situation. If they lose their power they might face consequences.

oil slick, tar baby, zipper head. etc etc. i need to refresh on my slurs, anyone got the 4chan elmo thing ?

Zipperhead is for gooks.

I always thought calling someone a spade was hysterically old-fashioned.

 

[General Emílio Médici]

I'm still wondering how they plan to counter this. If they could cheat with Trump in office, why not do it again when he is not? The people are at home trusting the plan and last time and didn't do anything about it other than some mean posts on social media.

The actual margin needed to flip the electoral vote in 2020 was tiny so fraud was possible. Not only that Covid was going on, sentiment on Trump had 4 years of TDS and the media helped both slander El Naranja and hide Hunter's Laptop.

Trump this time is having the RNC use the same vote harvest tactics of the DNC. Covid is long gone, TDS has worn out it's welcome and it's hard to pay attention of esoteric political arguments when your fridge is barren and money dissapears.

It's not that there won't be fraud, it's just that this time it is a lot harder to pull it off.

I'm not saying trust the plan. Stay vigilant until Trump is sworned in.

@General Emílio Médici summed my thoughts up better than I could. But idk if Trump is ballot harvesting this time with the RNC. I haven't seen anything to indicate that. Though it would be smart to keep it on the DL until after the election since the left would scream bloody murder for using their tactics.

 

[MrJokerRager]

What did he mean by this?

 

[LurkTrawl]

What I am saying is if the US fractured, in a similar, but of course not exactly in the same way as the former USSR, it would result in a similar, but not exactly the same, period of unrest, poverty and violent societal change while it ensures the northern and southern borders of North America are secured, reminiscent of the Chechen Wars. Look at our southern border, it is already in chaos.

And while all this happens there would be a worldwide, multi national effort to make sure a certain part of the US government remains stable and functional, ensuring our nukes are secured. Stability would persist but it would be limited, imo.

The problems facing the U.S. and the most likely methods by which the system breaks down, aren't going to hit the same way as the problems of the USSR.

I'd have to really sit down and think of a list of points for both as I don't have it laid out like that but the USSR/US comparison just does not wash at all.

Am I the only one who has no fucking clue what ballot harvesting is?

It's any method of actively collecting ballots instead of having people go to the polls like they ought to.

You have volunteers go around to people's homes. Mostly the disabled, elderly, retarded and stupid. Help tthem fill out a ballot or at least put their required into on there and sign it. Then you fill it out for them. You mark your guy down instead of whoever they want to vote for. Drop them off at a polling place in mass.

Here is what it means:

Ballot harvesting is the gathering and submitting of completed absentee or mail-in voter ballots by third-party individuals, volunteers or workers, rather than submission by voters themselves directly to ballot collection sites.

Basically its much more convenient then voting in person at the best of times and perhaps an oversight issue in the worst of times since third-parties are being counted on to do the job.

I still have no idea how any functional democracy would even tolerate this. Even around these parts if the elderly wants to vote they get to do it themselves, or best case, have their family help them to the voting booth.

If you're too infirm to vote perhaps you shouldn't be voting at all. (But we all know why American elites tolerate this.)

A part of my soul died when I realized that the campaign consultant who came up with Skibbidi Biden probably makes 280k a year.

I don't blame kids for not wanting to be doctors, or medical researchers, or nuclear physicists. In order to actually do something useful to society you go to postgraduate school for nine years and get a 100k salary with 250k of debt that you can never pay off.

Or you can come up with Skibbidi Biden and get a 300k bonus.

You have to consider you have to sell your soul to Satan to work for the DNC. And/or be totally brainwashed by their propaganda.

They're not going to run Harris as the lead ticket.

Hillary will burn the world to ashes before she let that bitch be the first female PotUS.

Forget Hillary, the woman whose time came and went, there is no fucking way Dr. Jill is gonna let her man (and her meal ticket to power) be taken out in favour of Downtown Kamala Brown, a woman Jill is openly known for hating with a Meangirls-tier level of cattiness. Forget that.

You have no idea how spiteful Democrats can get. Or we do, but they always manage to find a way.

This is true. But I remember a comment I heard Dave Smith make on his podcast some months ago about this election being about legitimising the Establishment's hold on power, since there are still significant numbers of people that believe fuckery took place in 2020. So while I put absolutely nothing past the Democrats, they may have to r e a l l y think about this one.

Amber Rose is going to speaking at the RNC. Supposedly. She's most notible for being Kanye's Ex GF and saying he likes getting his butt fingered.

It used to be a point of pride for previously-disenfranchised minorities to go to the polls in person to cast their sacred vote. Now, not so much.

The United States hasn't been a proper Democratic state since arguably WWII it's just in the last couple decades or so that our elites have stopped pretending otherwise and have become incredibly antagonistic and hostile to the general population.

 

[Ghost of Biden]

I really wish someone took sound bites from “it’s not gonna happen” and “everybody does better huhuhuh” Joe. Really sinister stuff.

There was a point where people complained about it but not much changed so now the USA is in the "who cares anymore, just use it to try and win" phase when it comes to ballot harvesting. It's anyone guess if it will ever become illegal.
