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

Seriously, what fucking changed? People don’t get redpilled overnight and do a complete 180 like this. Especially not ex-progs, for which coming out with takes like this might as well be social suicide.

ActBlue check didn't cash.

When the enemy hands you a huge thing you can campaign with on a silver platter you don't just use it for one photo op my guy. Unless you're almost as retarded as you are I guess.

I don't think you understand and I don't think it's worth explaining it to you, but cheapening this thing is not winning. All caps posting about the guy who got murdered because he was standing behind you is not winning. Trying to turn a genuine moment of heroism into a catch phrase is not winning.

If someone hands you a weapon, don't put it in your mouth.

Tell White women to go kill themselves!

You know this won't get you a white gf right?

Exactly how many women in real life did you speak to to form this opinion. This is like saying that white men are lost because all they talk about is how blacks will replace them genetically and masturbate to interracial porn.

I can look at the charts and then look at any young white woman I come across. Go look at an HR lady sometime. I can't even wish them harm because they do it themselves every time they advocate for more gimmegrants and Soros DA policies. At least a black commie bitch wanting BLM is just wanting more for herself.

Jesus Christ shut the fuck up retard.

I'm sure running on 'omg karens are ruining society and fuck white women in particular' is a winning strategy. Republicans are so dumb.

 

[los pepes]

The spin in that WSJ article makes me dizzy. Trump is up 2, up 3 among likely voters. Over 50% when undecideds are pushed to pick a candidate. If that poll is accurate (given it's sample size and MoE I would think it is) that's very bad for Kamala. The best news for Democrats is their base is re-energized, which will help with downballot, but barring a meltdown by Trump, President Harris is looking more and more unlikely, even with fortification.

It's pretty telling that the best the doomposters that have crawled out of the woodwork over the past week have been able to caterwaul about is that their own corporate media polls only have Trump up 2-4 points nationally and 4-6 points in all the battleground states, when this same time period in the past two Presidential cycles those same corpo polls had him down 5-7% nationally and 6-9% in battlegrounds. And this is the best its ever going to get. The explosion of "enthusiasm" is not even enthusiasm (see even JD having higher favorables than she does) as much as relief that at least they are not stuck with a semi-animated corpse at the top of their ticket. Even if it was genuine it couldn't last 4 months, and in this case it's already starting to recede and in all probability won't even fully carry over to the convention, let alone election.

Which means the usual suspects that have popped up in this thread out of nowhere over the past 5 days will disappear back into the mist over the next couple weeks. Shareblue in shambles.

You're applying a level of cynicism way beyond what's necessary here. You're right, this is a political move, but it can also behind a heartfelt gesture from a man who wants to honor one of his people who died supporting him, while also demonstrating his resolve and strength to face those behind the attempt on his life.

I'm a woman under 40
women that are white, left leaning and college educated have like an 80% chance of being that delusional
And I talk to a lot of women.

Also left leaning white women and white men in their late 50s-60s are fucking bonkers about Trump being 'literally Hitler'.

edit: granted, I probably live closer to california than most people

 

[WelfareNiggerQueen]

Replace JD Vance with someone WEF, for the love of God. The left is saying mean things about us again, just think about muh optics.

 

[Scuttlefuck]

Just get with a woman that knows absolutely nothing about the internet except cute animal videos and put up with the cringe celebrity videos they sometimes send you. It's worth it. If you're girl has ever installed Tik Tok on her phone you're doing it wrong.

thedailyboulder.com has been reposted a fucking ton in the last few weeks since the debate. They are just eating up that ad revenue

She uses TikTok explicitly for cute animal videos and positivity "memes". I believe she only saw anything relating to politics because they are running ads on it. It's an interesting anecdote to how much entertainment media is actually affecting the average person, which is why I brought it up. She's fairly intelligent, just really gullible, and that's all it takes really.

In 2020 (holy fuck, have I been here this long?) I don't remember this place being so rah rah Trump. It's starting to feel like a 2016 /pol/ thread (but somehow not shit)
It's just weird watching it turn into a team sport again at a presidential election, I guess.

 

[Kermit Jizz]

She uses TikTok

Dump her

I was still using other retard political places during 2020, but it's so much better here this time. You can say what you want mostly, as long as it's accurate and it's fine.

Latest Harrisx/Forbes Poll Shows Kamala Harris Entrance Has Reset Race Against Trump

- Trump’s lead on Harris is now 2-percentage points among RegisteredVoters and 3-percent with Likely Voters
- Harris has consolidated the Democratic base, winning back lapsed independent and suburban women, and nearly half of previously undecided voters; She continues to struggle with African American men.
- Electoral race is fluid as one-in-four voters say they could still change their mind.

A new poll released today by HarrisX and Forbes shows a newly competitive race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald J. Trump.Forty-seven percent of registered voters support Trump while 45% say they would vote for Harris. Among likely voters, the former president leads Harris 49% to 46%.

That marks a significant change in the race. Immediately prior to President Joe Biden stepping aside, Trump was leading Biden by 8 percentage points among registered voters (48% to 40%) and 10 points among likely voters (49% to 39%).Trump was also leading Harris by nine percentage points (50% to 41%) among registered voters and by a double-digit margin among likely voters (51% to 40%). The vice president has now narrowed the gap, in large part by winning 46%of voters who were undecided when the choice was between Biden and Trump.

The HarrisX/Forbes poll, which was conducted July 22-25, 2024 among 3,013 registered voters via the HarrisX Overnight Poll, shows Harris surging with independent voters and suburban women (full data available at elections.harrisx.com). While Biden was losing independents to Trump by a 13-percentage point margin (31% to 44%), Harris trails just by two percentage points (40% toTrump’s 42%). Among suburban women, the vice president leads Trump by 12percentage points (52% to 40%) compared to just a 3-percentage point lead held by President Biden (44% to Trump’s 41%).

Additionally, Harris has quickly consolidated the Biden base, with 95% of voters who had planned to support Biden sticking with the vice president. Only 3% of Biden voters are now planning to vote for Trump. However, the new presumptive Democratic nominee continues to struggle with African American men, winning just 57% of this key group, compared to 30% of Black men who plan to support Donald Trump.

“Voters, however, do not know the new Democratic nominee as well as they know Mr. Trump. That presents an opportunity and a threat to the Harris campaign, depending on whether she moves to the center to win swing and moderate voters, or moves to the left of Biden to appease the Democratic base,” added Nesho.

The close race is also reflected by the fact that the two candidates have nearly identical favorability ratings. Trump and Harris are each viewed favorably by 44% of the electorate while 50% view the former president unfavorably and 49% say the same about the vice president. However, suburban women like Harris (49% favorable – 43% unfavorable) significantly more than Trump (36% favorable – 59% unfavorable).

The Left’s Political Machine Is About to Kick Into Gear
The press is the narrative arm of a formidable regime.

Republicans may not know it yet, but the ground is rapidly shifting underneath their feet. In the past 72 hours, something has changed; and the change is far more profound than the rushed changing of the guard at the top of the Democratic Party ticket.

Two weeks ago, Donald Trump’s victory appeared all but inevitable. Joe Biden had been visibly senile for some time, but in the wake of his disastrous debate performance, the entire media suddenly seemed to notice as much. The same outlets that had gone to great lengths to excuse, obfuscate, and run cover for the president’s mental decline suddenly laid siege to the White House, subjecting Biden to a level of scrutiny and negative press onslaught that Democratic presidents rarely, if ever, contend with. For a brief period of time, Biden and his allies experienced a taste of what it was like to work in the Trump administration. (“Trump obviously took for granted going in that he would have this level of hostility,” Auron MacIntyre noted on X. “But Democrats assume slavish press compliance”).

The Democratic Party — in many ways, merely the formal political extension of the media-industrial-complex — acted accordingly. In near-unison with the media pivot, Democratic donors, politicians, and party elites turned on Biden, with a growing chorus of power players calling for the president to step aside — something that would have been almost unthinkable just a few months prior. As Biden’s list of intra-party enemies grew, his cohort of friends and defenders shrunk. In rapidly declining health, barely capable of even mustering a public appearance, shedding allies by the day, and faced with a concerted narrative pressure campaign that left-wing politicians almost never have to contend with, the president was isolated.

Despite his team’s initial defiance — and a feeble, facially pathetic attempt to project strength — in a matter of weeks, their defenses were spent. On Sunday, July 21, Biden relented, withdrawing from the race and endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris as his presumptive successor.

Almost immediately, the headlines changed. The same outlets that had been breathlessly covering every rumor, damaging story, and sign of weakness from the Democratic president got to work airbrushing and deifying Harris. The tone of the reporting became affectionate, admiring, even awestruck. “Through all her calls at the Naval Observatory, Harris wore a hooded Howard University sweatshirt, workout sweats and sneakers,” a senior reporter at CNN intoned on Monday. “They got pizza and salad for dinner. She went with her favorite topping: anchovies.” A BBC editor chimed in: “The Howard sweatshirt is an important detail here. For Harris, this is about where she came from as much as what lies ahead. Howard is the first place she looks for when Air Force Two lands in Washington.”

This is our bold, fearless press corps. Afflicting the comfortable and comforting the afflicted. Speaking truth to power. Following the story wherever it leads, without fear or favor.

But the tone changed, as it pertained to Trump, too. Prior to Harris’ coronation, America 2100 noted in a thread today, “the press was suddenly treating Trump better than they ever had before—or ever would again”:

I generally agree, but I think your post highlights a massive problem Republicans/Conservatives have which is their apathy/contempt for people that have not succeeded.

This is a very good point. Somewhere along the way, standing for free market capitalism became, for many republicans, standing for big successful businesses to the detriment of anyone else.
Trump’s populism is exceptionally healthy for the party to cure that, because it’s really anathema to what conservativism is. The whole reason free markets became so important is because a lot of evidence suggests they’re the best way to make life better for everyone.

 

[Bill Evans 45]

one of the other really crazy lolcow threads and let them get invested in the drama

Point her at Deathfats*. Trust me on this.

Unless she is one. If so, I really don't know what to tell you.

 

[The Last Stand]

Again, too narrow. Dems are working hard to activate women voters, while Republicans are calling them deleterious harpies. Dems are actively courting White people to get out and vote, while Republicans are only courting non-Whites.

Dems: We love voters. All voters. We want your vote.
Reps: We only like male voters who are non-White. We don't give a shit about anyone else.
Which of these strategies do you think seems more likely to yield winning results? The sincerity is irrelevant here: one side has smart strategies, the other side thinks it can win on edgy memes that were already tired in 2016.

At this point, WTF cares? You're basically admitting that Democrats love to pander while holding themselves to a high regard. Nobody likes people that put themselves up a pedestal.

 

[AnotherPleb]

There's a story being worked on by James O Keefe that the DNC doesn't have any money. Their donators are just claiming fake donations and the number is entirely made up. So you have people who on record donated thousands to the DNC and never actually did. Which is absolutely hilarious.

You don't need real donations when your party controls the printer.

 

[Diana Moon Glampers]

As much as i love this meme it doesn't explain why Jeff Epstein and his pals all look amazing and why Hunter Biden is literally medicare age and looks fantastic and celebs like Paul Newman or George Clooney can be calling for white genocide and looked better at 60 than most men do at 20.

Read the book Bug Jack Barron by Norman Spinrad.

But not on public transportation or anywhere someone can read behind your shoulder. Just trust me on this one.
