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

 

[AmHole]

All of a sudden my brain-broken TDS mom has been shitting on Vance despite being warm and open to him when he was first announced. Did the media's new marching orders get released?

Going back to this, it’s why I begrudgingly wanted Tulsi as Trump’s VP. I think we all suspected that Kamala was being groomed for the top spot and the DNC were waiting on who Trump’s VP would be before they announced it. So, why not play the Left’s own game? They’re both women of color, and Tulsi has already proven she can demolish Kamala in debates, which Trump could have definitely used on the campaign trail.

Plus, let’s be honest. Tulsi's hot. A lot of people vote with their eyes, and seeing a hot woman as VP would instantly win some coomers over.

It would be a huge mistake if Trump doesn’t find a way to use Tulsi. Even if she’s a bit of a snake, she could definitely be an asset to outmaneuver the DNC’s election fortification.

Edit: clarify that Tulsi is hot and not Kamala

Maybe the whole federal government should be torn down and reworked.

States need to be brought to the forefront like the founders planned. Centuries of power creep have lead to a bloated and unwieldy Federal Apparatus that's frankly out of control and jammed into everyone business.

Let the people of the state decided most things for themselves and neuter the Fed to only deal with large national issues.

As much of a bloated shambolic mess as the federal government currently is, just devolving power to the states only solves half of the problem.
We haven't fucked with the internal divisions of the continental 48 in over 100 years now and a LOT of states either need their own electoral colleges or we need to splinter out a bunch of the bigger metro areas into their own city-states. That's realistically the only kind of peaceful "national divorce" this country can have. Dense urban cores weren't anywhere near this disconnected from the areas surrounding them 100 years ago.

Like, Jefferson thought cities were cancer 250 years ago now, he'd shit a brick and start turning every mayor of a major city in this country into strange fruit if he were alive today.

Gabbard and Trump have diametrically opposed positions on practically every major issue. Pretty much the only thing they share is a non-interventionist mentality and thinking Hillary Clinton (and the DNC by extension) is a corrupt snake.
Gabbard is an Iran dove. Trump is very much not. Gabbard is for nuclear disarmament. Trump threatened Xi and Putin with nukes like he was the reincarnated spirit of Harry Truman. Gabbard is very much a fan of all the Soros-backed DAs who let criminals walk instead of putting them in prison. Trump is not. Gabbard backed the Green New Deal before it mutated into the Inflation Reduction Act. Trump called that one of the biggest cons of bad policy Biden has passed. Gabbard wants to resettle Muslim refugees stateside and bought into Trump's revision about acceptable countries for refugee applications being a blanket Muslim ban. Gabbard wants single payer healthcare. Trump wants publicly posted prices at hospitals and easier drug importation.
Shit on Trump's most defining issue (illegal immigration), Gabbard fucking sucks. She basically views the border being swamped as our just desserts for military intervention in Latin America during the Cold War.

As for Vance, I talked to my normie boomer parents (who hate Trump and are very likely to be voting blue no matter who) and they apparently really like Vance. They even saw and liked the movie based on his book in the past week since the convention.

I also asked my dad (who is casually interested in wrestling, but to my knowledge doesnt actively follow it) what he thought of the Hulkster and he didn't really know what to say about it haha.

I forgot to mention, pre-Trump my folks were pretty Republican. I dont know if they voted for Obama or not, I'm honestly too afraid to ask, but I do remember they both voted for Dubya, and I know my mom really liked Sarah Palin. I have a feeling they would have voted for Hailey.

I'm surprised this thread still put such trust in polls, and not just polls, all the official institutions. It's like everyone forgot.

What if the politics start affecting the things that matter to you? There's no "what if," it IS happening. Most people would've been fine with being left alone with their day-to-day. Take a long look at how politics has "distracted from the things that actually matter." Defund the police made it carte blanche for petty crime to turn widespread. The recent inflation has increased the cost of basic necessities while wages has stagnated and the dollar decreased in value. Add insult to injury, your job would boast about whatever DEI topic of the day while you're barely getting by anymore.

It's an interesting conundrum that doesn't have an easy answer. The things I cared about were infiltrated a long time ago and I expected things to go really bad a long time ago too, and have mostly prepared for what I feel is an inevitable outcome. Things right now are still pretty alright. They can get a lot worse than this—believe me. When they do I have a plan. I'll tell you what didn't help me come up with that plan; getting upset about politics. It's alright to feel angry when you see people destroying your country. That's perfectly normal. What isn't alright is dwelling on it and allowing it to make you miserable. Misery and depression over this shit is not productive and helps no one. Being realistic about our chances? That is helpful.

Kamala? hot? pfffttt no. just no. She isn't ugly, but hot isn't something i'd call her.

 

[The Last Stand]

She's Hillary 2, without the decades of experience and acumen, and should be treated as such.

Hillary had charisma. Kamela does not. That's an unfair comparison.

Kamala? hot? pfffttt no. just no. She isn't ugly, but hot isn't something i'd call her.

Thirsty.

The polls in aggregate were pretty accurate. The final RCP average was Clinton +3.2, the results were Clinton +2.1. The models were wrong because they were modeling for a 2008/2012 electorate, and didn’t take into account the working class shift towards Trump.

They're just fun to talk about and speculate over, I don't think anyone here takes them super seriously.

This thread is really gay when people start doomposting for seemingly no reason whatsoever.

"OMG! The Democrat-leaning media are supporting Harris' campaign!!! I see it everywhere! There are campaign ads! Harris is talking to journalists! We're doomed!!!!"

Yeah no shit. At present she seems to be the candidate they're running with. What are they supposed to do? Sit around with their thumbs up their ass for the next couple of months?

I see no demonstrable reason why Trump's chances have worsened so significantly over the past few days to justify such panic.

The "coomer" demographic isn't exactly one strives to reach. I find it funny that people here had an issue with me supporting Hillary Clinton, yet goes and make unsightly comments about Tulsi Gabbard's appearance. I don't get the joke.

 

[GunCar Gary]

the two worst things about kamala’s brat summer ads:

to keep up with politics i have to consume dumb ads made by social media addicted roasties, for social media addicted roasties

and

every time it makes me hungry for a brat

 

[BullfrogBill]

There's literally proof that the Project 25 propaganda was bought and paid for by the Biden campaign.

Would you like to share with the rest of the class?

Me neither. I've seen claims outside here that the GOP is mad about kamala campaigning cause it automatically means she'll get more votes.

It makes fraud way more likely. The media will chip and chime about how much better she is doing against Trump in the polls. But the polls are fake and gay nigger shit. We already know this. The point is to socially engineer the masses to accept the fraud when it happens on election night. They'll have the braindead NPCs going, "Well this was the expected result that the media was talking about. All the polls showed she was winning. It isn't fraud—you're just a racist bigot and a sore loser." Then just like last time all the evidence will be ignored and anyone who dares call the election into question will be cancelled, shunned, and or imprisoned as a "threat to democracy".

If you don't see how qualitatively superior of a candidate Kocksuckin' Kamala is to PedoJoe, you should spend less time on A&H. Normies are dumb. She is the perfect candidate for them because she isn't a braindead potato and looks healthier than the fat 70-something orange man.

I swear, "doomposting" is to A&H what "conspiracy theory" is to the MSM. You should call it "previewposting", because that's what it is 99% of the time when it isn't about imminent nuclear war/Yellowstone eruption/etc. Notice the patterns, and notice this is another 2020/2022 style fraud about to be perpetuated.

One thing that always amused me with trump hate, especially back in 2016 to his first term was seeing everyone act like criticizing him was some form of bravery. Even though it was the opposite cause i saw Trump supporters get assaulted the most.

@Absolutego Regardless, my point still stands. The enemy of my enemy is my friend and right now, Tulsi and Trump both have a common goal: To defeat the DNC and Kamala. Even if she sucks and politically they don't see eye to eye, this is the time where they both have to put aside their differences if they don't want the DNC to fortify the election. Tulsi can definitely be used as a strategy to aid Trump, but it's up to the both of them to set aside ego and their differences for the common good.

The literal best way to use a VP is to be the attack dog and another whip in the legislature for your agenda. You didn't get tired of the 4 years Trump already spent surrounding himself with people who hate his politics and getting nothing accomplished, or are you just really thirsty to see her face on CSPAN slightly more often?
