Speaking as a non-US citizen, surely the Democrats know Trump is unbeatable at this point, so why not play the hand of Biden anyway rather than waste running some other candidate who wants to run next time who would be tarnished by a loss?
If they went with RFK they could still have a chance, its difficult to exagerate the level of apathy among D voters with biden and kennedy even appeals to some wouldbe trump voters. But they wont nominate him because he's anti-establishment and went against big pharma and agribiz, two of the biggest DNC donors which makes him persona non grata.
 
It's interesting to see the Silicon Valley tech entrepreneurs pivot to Trump. Any genuine loyalty or support of "MAGA" most likely cannot be found among much of them. They may see a way to influence the Republican Party in the future with their wealth. One would think many of these ultra-wealthy individuals love Trumps tax cuts but may not be so fond of his appeal to unions and the common worker.
JD Vance is one of them, or at least knows the score with them. It's probably one of (many) reasons why he was picked.

If the left loses Big Tech, even just Big Tech deciding to hedge their bets with the right and not being so far in the tank for the left, they lose a massive force multiplier. Imagine suddenly censorship of righty views on social media vanishing from all sites (including X, where it's returned after Elon stopped paying attention), or even flipping to censorship of the left. imagine Youtube suddenly suggesting Lotus Eaters or some other center-right content to normies after years of unhinged fat dykes in colleges writing up fake research papers to force them to constantly censor righty views more and more. Imagine video games dropping all this DEI bullshit like a hot potato in lieu of 1980s action movie style masculinity.

The left, with all this institutional stacking of the deck, still has to rig national elections to win. They still have to rig local elections to win. Think about that for a second. They're "so popular, half the country or more" but even with every advantage corrupted, entryism afflicted systems give them, they STILL have to cheat to win.

Project 2025 is real, its power is bullshit.
It's basically just a list of demands by a thinktank with no actual power, more or less to stir shit.
Random thought: Like Lindsey Graham and his "national abortion ban" comment was specifically geared towards kneecapping Republican inroads towards women, was Project 2025 created to specifically tie Trump to the most useless kinds of Uniparty Neocons?

This scene from The World’s End has always really stuck with me:
 
I've always said there is a need for religion buried deep within mankind's psyche, some that years for direction, comfort and knowledge that we're here for a reason. When the Left gave up faith in god they didn't abandon faith they merely moved their faith from Him into their politics and the holy party. If you look you can easily see the trend on both sides towards a more...spiritual outlook towards politics.
This is also a conclusion I have reached. I was really into the Atheism movement in the early 2000s and a statement that really stands out in my mind that all of them said was: “I don’t need a God to be good.” This was said in response to Christians pointing out that without religion, they have zero moral framework with which to assess right and wrong.

Where are all these atheists now? They’re worshiping the soyence. They’re reevaluating the age of consent and whether or not animals can consent. They’re blowing their mind out in hard drugs.

I have reached two conclusions:

1) All the trendy atheists of the early 2000s took their Christian upbringing for granted and incorrectly assumed their moral code was independent from their Christian beliefs.

2) Almost everyone has a God-shaped hole in their soul. If God doesn’t fill it, then something else inevitably will. Some Atheists worship the state. Some worship money. Some worship the soyence. Some worship hedonism. For the fast majority of people, if their life doesn’t revolve around God, it’ll usually start to revolve around something that causes them to spiral.
 
Remember, DEI was originally promoted as a way to prevent effective unions. They then realized putting that on slideshows gets leaked, so they made sure to hire true believers who promote DEI on their own.
Whoa! Hold on there partner🤠 This is the first time I’ve heard about this, and I’d like to learn more! Please reply with a link to more information. Happy travels!
 
It'd be cool to turn these into pamphlets and booklets to hand out to people. Something tangible and directly from the horse's mouth.

Like others have said, I hate how the term "alt right" was poisoned. When the term was new, I considered myself alt right since it could convey being for small government without being associated with neocons.

It was done on purpose. They didn't want an alternative to their "right".
 
The Media: Biden is stepping down as early as Sunday!

Some Democrats: We think Biden should step down

Other Democrats: We endorse Biden!

Saving democracy by disenfranchising and confusing your voters ... Bold strategy, Cotton! Let's see how it plays out for them.

As funny as it is right now Biden has all the power.

The rebel Dems can't really force him out in anyway but by trying to make it seem like everyone wants him gone. As long as Hunter and Jill stick to their guns Biden will be the nom at the DNC.

Thanks to all the backroom shenanigans the DNC created back in 68 to avoid a repeat year they are now hamstrung by their very own system. Only Biden can make the call. All the tweets, innuendos and pleas from sidelines don't mean shit in the end.
