MATI moment, but I really cannot understand the normgroidcattle that say Biden was a great president, it's such a baffling thing to believe. What would they say in his defense when pushed? What the fuck has he done that's been beneficial? Or are they just constructing a regime-approved fiction wholecloth?

It doesn't really matter. Their playbook is either spin it into "Well, that's actually a good thing!" or "It's orange man's fault". It's fun to dunk on them because it usually provides good milk but you'll never change their minds, ever. It's literally impossible without an actual lobotomy.

He beat (or "beat") Orange Man and Orange Man bad. That's all he had to do to be their hero for life.

I'm not sure, people will have just watched the last globohomo coin implode and no one would really want that to happen to their currency. BRICS intense for countries to use their own currencies for trade which should be more stable for some time.

The problem is what will the American empire do, as all of its money is in the now worthless dollar. Will the people resort to barter?

Barter can only happen if the government collapses outright, which is the sort of thing that happen in African countries. While I don't discount the possibility of States issuing their own currency, it's my opinion that the US simply has to play the game of international finance like every other country instead of rigging it in its favor. Now the dollar supply has to be backed by an actual asset of some kind, which the US can do in theory. The practical application involves shutting down environmental law because anything that is valuable in some way involves harming the environment in some way. Rare Earth minerals? Strip Mining. Shale Oil? Fracking. Logging? Timber! The US is resource-rich, but environmental regulations artificially limit the amount of resources that can be extracted.

It's just the latest development in the long history of the United States, which when you look at how voting rights have changed over the years and who could hold originally office when the country was formed, is a story of white men diluting their own collective political power more and more as time goes by.

TBF, they kind of had to. The Founding Fathers were, in essence, a bunch of upper middle class landowners and craftsmen that didn't want to pay English taxes. Once they got their independence, they governed as an oligarchy via the two-party system and would have continued as such until Andrew Jackson became president. Now they had to pay attention to people outside of their club or successive Jackson-types would make it their business to break up their Masonic party. Then the Civil War happened and the South was buck broken, so now Black people have to be citizens and they are entitled suffrage. Giving women suffrage was legit stupid though, since they are not given the same responsibilities that men were given.

Some TikTok analytics and analysis for you.
Kamala Harris launched her TikTok earlier this week to massive positive media coverage. So far, she's obtained 3M followers, 9M likes, and posted 4 videos. Her first video has 26M loops, and her latest video has 33M million loops. Kamala looks like she's trying to appeal to dance and gay TikTok with her most recent video. My personal assessment- it's a little cringe, and I think only 1/2 go hard enough for the demo she's targeting (the RuPaul Drag race, which has a high CPS). She's well positioned to lean more into dance and karaoke which have wider appeal, but it's tough to send a political message with them. She should use this opportunity to be normal, while crossing over with liberal TikTokers- which will help solve her likability issue and unite her base.

Donald Trump launched his TikTok at the beginning of June, to also extensive negative media coverage focusing on TikTok's controversies. So far, he's obtained 9M followers, 24M likes, and posted 7 videos, with 3 of those from this week. His first video has 166M loops, and his latest video has 253K 414K loops. His videos this week have under performed Kamala. Trump appears to be trying to tap into fitness and aesthetic/meme edit TikTok. My personal assessment- Very good, the editor is on point knows his shit for TikTok- quick cuts and subtitles with relevant music. His TikToks give off that alpha energy and loop very well.

I like The ultimate issue with most of this, is tons of the people who use TikTok can't vote yet, but those who can are highly susceptible to suggestion.

Biden was great because he was "a nice guy" and the media didn't say anything bad about him.

People jokes about the 'mean tweets' thing but by the end I was sure tired of them. He really screwed up there and lost a lot of support, more than most think I believe. That and Covid, even more than cheating, are what I think got him out.

And DU says we're screwed anyway. It's over.

Pretty sure this will be just another battle of the sexes in the end. Yeah Harris will get 60%+ of the black male vote, but her base is entirely white leftist suburban dumb women and black ones. I'm curious to see how the hispanics go for sure.

Check out the Hispanic.

Trump polling better than copmala wtf.

That anti immigration message is REEALLY fucking up Democrats it looks like....I am...surprised.


Meanwhile in Canada, 60% of constituents want less immigration as well...

The trend is real...
