In other words, the "Weeds" meme.
View attachment 6342749
Its not exactly the same as the meme, tbh. These niggers Zach is spergin about *dont* want to get rid of the weeds, they make a living out of crying about them.

Where ya boi is absolutely wrong is with his political takes, he seems to believe Trump is aping those same grifters he's raging about. Comes across as someone who just hasnt been paying attention lately.

Anyways, i sort of agree with Zach there, at some point fake outrage becomes exhausting.
 
This is how the right's "obsession" with culture war works:

Libtard: We're going to have cross-dressing pedophiles come to your kid's school to teach him how to do anal
Conservative: No, I don't want that. Hey, guys, have you seen what the libtards want to do? We gotta stop this!
Libtard: OH MY GAAAAAHHHHD WHY ARE YOU SO OBSESSED WITH CROSS-DRESSING PEDOPHILES??? YOU'RE CRAAAAAZY!
This. The libtards take over culture and push insane shit, then cuckservatives bend the knee to lose with dignity and so that they don't get called mean words. Then comes someone like Trump and lashes against all that. Libtards use the same tactics. Trump and his sympathizers keep saying the same thing undisturbed, and normies start getting tired of trannies/idpol being pushed down their throats. When libtards see they're losing that battle, they just declare the issue settled, that going back on it is regressive and that if you keep talking about it it's because you're obsessed with it.

Once you understand libtard's entire narrative is based around power and not how coherent their policies are, you can deal with them. This is what conservatives have generally failed to do. They think the left will stop at some point when things get "too crazy", as if their opponents play by the same rules, as if they have any shame. They have none, they want to displace you from political participation entirely so ANY and all tactics are valid. Never give them an inch, never relax before these people.
 
Relatedly, I'm sick of the take that "all of a sudden men care about women's sports".

No, what men care about is their little girls not being hurt and discouraged because they listened to feminists for years that life wasn't fair for women, and now in one of the few places it can be fair, it suddenly isn't.
It's not only that tbh. I don't have any daughters, but I'm sick to the back teeth of being told not to believe my lying eyes and to just accept whatever the dysgenic, retarded faggots in power tell me is 'the truth'. I will not live in the pod, I will not eat the bugs, and I will not pretend that a man in a dress is a woman.
 
Apologies for being late been busy and watching the bitch in Euro time was hard.

So the DNC utter clown show, I have never seen someone so rent free as Trump but it shows the Dems are petrified of him..

Kamala's speech was just absolutely forgettable and as boring as the obvious AstroTurf she is. Waltz is an awful candidate and his skeletons will haunt her.

I think the election is going to go either one of 2 ways Landslide like in 2016 or 2020. I think it is more 2016, I think there is some Dem influence on fudging the polls. I also think NJ will flip which will actually take a lot of the importance of PA.
 
Reaction poll- Which spot would you give RFK JR will get in the Trump Administration?
:like: - head of the FDA
:agree: - CIA director
:informative: - Head of Health and Human Services
:lunacy: - Attorney General (eta: didn't know politisperg react was banned on this board)
❤️ - head of the EPA
:dislike: - Department of Education

Other reaction - Write in something else
I would give his VP pick a spot at the FEC. Let her start dismantling the stranglehold that the two party system has on our election process.
 
surprised there isn't a thread on it, you know how hard it must have been to get a dreamcast in rural midwest back then?
Just go to Walmart and buy one.

no way in hell he had a good internet connection either, best thing you can say is that he's got horrible intuition.
Rural areas had dialup by the time Dreamcast rolled around in 1999. Though they usually just had only number to dial up to, unlike the cities which would have several, so you could try a few for a better connection.
 
Welcome to a very fabulous special post-convention episode of Whitepill Weekend! I'm your host and your very own Handicapper General, Diana Moon Glampers.


This week, we're not going to talk too much about the details of the convention. We don't need to! You saw how bad it went...they couldn't get a special guest even though they were obviously trying hard, Kamala's sister was a better speaker than she was, a bald woman told us we'd best respect the HBIC by pronouncing her name right, and the only thing anyone agreed on was abortion. We were all here in the thread live and we saw the total vacuousness, the lack of any cohesive message besides Orange Man Bad, a record they have been playing so long it's crackling and worn.

Before we get into the details of what's going on with the campaign this week, I need to tell a short personal anecdote. In 2016, through a series of mishaps involving a cell phone number mixup in a database, I began receiving campaign SMS spam for three different people who not only had previously voted Democrat, but had previously donated to Democrats. One of these also apparently donated to Jon Tester in Montana, whose campaign texts I also receive, while another is a Texas Democrat, and another has voted in Washington. I know the people's first names (because that's who the texts are sent to) but not much else about them.

At the same time, someone signed me up for Trump campaign emails and donations.

I suppose I could have texted STOP to unsubscribe, but...I didn't. Not for the Dem stuff, not for the Trump stuff. I just let it keep hitting. 99% of the time, I ignore it, the way I'd ignore any solicitation for donations or sale of a product I didn't care to buy.

During this election cycle, due to excessive autism, I have noticed some patterns in what I am seeing. Since (unlike the DNC, which we all watched unfold from here) this is not something all Farmers have access to, I'd like to focus there today. All quoted texts are published verbatim, including capitalization, but will not include any information about the original intended recipients (all "Dear ____" or indicators about where they live beyond the state level will be removed).

Before the June 27 debate, the tone was mostly trying to suss out if Biden was a viable candidate, and texts were happening once a week, if that:

Verification needed: Do you promise to vote for Biden? 6 hours left to confirm:

"It's Dan with Powered by People. We're working to stop Trump in Texas by registering every eligible Texan. Are you registered to vote for Joe Biden?"

Between the debate and Biden's dropout announcement, the tone changes immediately. Suddenly, they're coming multiple times a day, and they look like this:

Your Voter Pledge Card is BLANK. Will you vote for Dems no matter what?

Answer now: are you still voting for Joe Biden in November?

We are worried people are leaving the Democratic Party...PLEASE VERIFY: Are you still a Democrat?


They also started advertising huge donor matches. For those who don't know, this means that if you donate $1, some rich guy (who was already going to give the maximum to the Dems this year) will say he's putting in his donation as a match to yours at a 1:1 or even 2 or 3:1 ratio. I did not receive "donor match" texts before the debate. The ratios in the post-debate, pre-dropout phase looked like this.

Michelle Obama shared the stakes
Barack broke his silence
VERY RARE: Gifts to answer their pleas are 300% MATCHED until Midnight

FIRST-EVER 500% MATCH ON ALL BIDEN SUPPORTER DONATIONS

By the week before the dropout, match percentages were insane:

BREAKING: Trump picks JD Vance as running mate. 900% MATCH unlocked to DEFEAT them! Give now

Three days before the dropout, the night Trump accepted the nomination, five days after Butler, it was just sad, and notably simply stopped including anything about Biden at all.

We're BEGGING! Trump's nomination is tonight. Donations to defeat him have PLUMMETED. 900% MATCH

INCREDIBLE 900% MATCH!! Trump accepts the nomination tonight - Rush a donation to DEFEAT him!

Two days before the dropout, everything was polling:

2ND REQUEST: If Biden steps aside, who do you want to run?

Please Respond: Calls for Biden to step aside are mounting. We need YOU to weigh in.

We need to hear from grassroots Democrats: Should Pres. Biden suspend his campaign? YES or NO

Biden dropped out of the race on July 21. By July 23, the tone was newly hopeful, with a touch of outrage that anyone might not approve.

ALERT: Joe Biden drops out, endorses Kamala Harris. STAND TOGETHER. Pitch in to help Kamala WIN!

WOW: Biden just endorsed Kamala

So did the Clintons & Adam Schiff!

Will you be one of the first people to endorse Kamala? SIGN

WE ARE OVER THE MOON

Our Biden thank you card is going viral, but your signature is missing! Will you sign your Biden's card?

49% of voters disapprove of Kamala Harris?! We CAN'T let her fail. Will you take the Harris Approval Poll to BOOST her numbers?

PLEASE! Kamala Harris CAN defeat Trump. Top Dems are so confident they've unlocked a 700% MATCH!

By now, the spam was coming faster than ever, with half a dozen or more messages per day coming in.

Why won't you sign our pledge to vote for Kamala Harris?! She needs our support now more than ever

Who do you think Kamala Harris should pick as her running mate? Join our Democratic focus group and let us know

SECOND ATTEMPT: We really need you to confirm you support Kamala Harris

On August 6, Walz was selected as the VP pick. By now, the tone was brand new. Instead of desperation, the new tone was designed to project total confidence...but the donation matches are still there, at astronomical levels.

BREAKING: Kamala Harris picks Tim Walz to be her VP! 700% MATCH your Dem House donation ASAP!

Dems are donating in DROVES after Kamala's VP pick! We're extending our 4X match for 8 hrs to train scores of Dems & STOP TRUMP

Your Harris/Walz endorsement status: PENDING

During the convention, the texts had a theme. Just like "weird" or "joy" before, "ready for Harris" is the theme of the donation pleas during the convention.

I'll let you be the judge of what the Democrats really think of Harris, based on these. Note the lack of anything about her ideas. There's nothing here but that we're "ready."

Barack Obama: "We are ready for a President Kamala Harris." Let's go!

There was also a long one...see how it doesn't actually talk about Harris...at all.

Barack Obama just broke his silence in his convention speech and issued an urgent call to action to every single Democrat.

Barack only speaks out when the situation is absolutely dire. And when he speaks, we listen.

Barack knows Trump has a massive fundraising advantage - and he knows it's going to take all of us banding together to bring this win home.

Generous Democrats are SO fired up by Barack Obama's call to action, they just agreed to unlock a very rare QUINTUPLE MATCH - ONLY until President Obama's convention speech ends in 30 minutes - to ensure we can close our fundraising gap.

If just 2,000 Democrats step up with $15 before the 5X-match expires, we'll be able to rush resources to train Democrats all over the country, STOP Trump from buying this election, and make Barack proud.

Will you rush $15 to answer our beloved former President's call before his convention speech ends in 30 minutes?

WOW: Tim Walz just gave an AMAZING speech at the DNC! 700% MATCH your Democratic donation tonight!

As Kamala prepared to take the stage, the messages were coming in multiple times every hour, with increasing match offers.

READY FOR KAMALA! Help raise $1M before the DNC ends to BOOST turnout. Give $3 if you're ready

Kamala is here! Are you ready? Give $3 to help us raise $500k before her speech & surge Dems to victory!

BEFORE KAMALA'S SPEECH: Dems get a 800% MATCHED donation (highest ever!)

DNC ALERT: Dems offer 9X MATCH until Kamala Harris takes the stage!

PLEASE: Before KAMALA HARRIS takes the stage at the Dem Convention tonight: Rush a 800% MATCHED donation!

During and after her speech, absolutely nothing. Silence since then. Blissful, phone "ding" free silence.

----

All of this is to say:

Kamala's speeches are being met with the same kind of desperate donation matching as the worst, most dire moments of the Biden campaign.

That's the way they treated Biden's debate performance...silence for days afterward, after solicitations leading up to it. They know asking for money after that ending of the speech was not going to work. They needed to collect first, before the speech.

When the speaker is Barack Obama, they collect donations during and after the speech. But with Harris, they know that they'd better get the cash upfront.

Don't forget how much uncertainty there was about her candidacy beforehand. That uncertainty hasn't gone anywhere, in spite of efforts to pretend otherwise.

Underneath all the bluster and rose-tinted lenses propping up her substance-free campaign, is a party that is using as many tricks as possible to make it look like their donation picture is better than actually is. These kinds of mega-matches also should make any reasonable Democrat realize that the corporate megadonors have vastly eclipsed any kind of grassroots donations from the common man. Why would anyone accept the idea that there are rich people out there who totally could donate $1M but will only do it if poor people light $100k on fire?

Discussions with Democrats now rely wholly on "TRUMP BAD" for all messaging. Kamala's such a policy lightweight she didn't even touch the DNC platform (which is still the platform for Biden's second term), and won't use it on her campaign website. Her proposals so far have been pie-in-the-sky "that mighta passed in Commiefornia" price controls, and like everything about this campaign, can only possibly sound plausible until someone hits it with a few non-softball questions.

And now, because I can't resist, one last little note about the convention:

People were hoping the DNC would unveil SOMETHING cool. Have some big reveal. A new policy people loved. An incredible soundbite to take forward and use everywhere. Even a special musical guest would have been something to remember.

What happened at this convention that was at all memorable?

This was a nothingburger convention. They managed to get some people hyped...then gave them nothing. This was convention blue balls. And every Democrat, from the megadonors to the grassroots faithful, had to smile as they put their dick back in the cage and say "yes, Kamala, I understand I wasn't good enough" while writing her another check.

Sure, there are people who get off on that. But do those people make up enough of the electorate? How you do anything is how you do everything, and on some level, even people who want to pull the D lever in November know this. They know Harris/Walz cannot be an effective administration. They have seen that any "victory" they achieve will not drive the results the victory supposedly stands for.

Many of them will pull the lever anyway. But I think there's a chance to at least say to many people: is Harris meeting your minimum standard for a candidate? Is it really okay for Democrats to put out a candidate that is below many people's minimum standards, just because the opponent is even more objectionable to them?

The longer this goes on, the more they have to lean on TRUMP BAD. When people realize that's all they have left...

Well, that's it for today. Hope you enjoyed this special look into all the texts you should be glad you're not receiving, and remember:

Oh yeah did you notice the Houthis just blew up an oil tanker carrying about 150,000 barrels

Trump needs to hammer these morons literally fucking around and finding out. Tie it to their incompetence in Afghanistan, it's the same shit. Be performative in their planning and execution, shit happens, they ignore it and act like everything is fine. Bring back the "I'd bomb the shit out of them" line

Trump def needs to keep reminding voters of all of bidens many fuck ups and pin them on kamala
 
This needs to be hit on by Trump more and more. Have Musk come up on stage somewhere and address it. From what I understand SpaceX could do it sooner but that would make Boeing look bad, and at this point they probably want to kill off the two astronauts who launched there so they don't talk shit:

Use this chart to slap any smug liberal around saying things are better. And next week when the Fed lowers interest rate by probably half a point get ready now for the inflation that will cause in 6 months, right when T-Bone gets back in office. They're lighting the fuse now.

Voted HHS because that's where he can make the biggest difference, but get Rand Paul in there instead and absolutely hand RFK the CIA.
 
Just go to Walmart and buy one.


Rural areas had dialup by the time Dreamcast rolled around in 1999. Though they usually just had only number to dial up to, unlike the cities which would have several, so you could try a few for a better connection.

Yeah the rural Midwest wasn't necessarily THAT desolate, I grew up in the middle of fucking nowhere and my middle-class family bought a nice PC and an AOL subscription in 1997. We only got about 45kbps max but it worked, and any of my friends who weren't absolutely destitute also had a home PC with dialup within a couple years of me.

A lot of my friends had PS1s or N64s, a couple even had a Dreamcast. Like you said most people just went to Walmart and bought them, the Supercenter the next town over had every console set up on a playable display with a large selection of games for each. Back then they also carried a bunch of PC games in those glorious full-sized boxes, their electronic section used to be a lot more than just tablets and phone cables
 
Stealing the election is a forbidden-by-consiquences thing, so as long as public favor is with them they can get away with stealing the election. With public favor plummeting immediately after the DNC and only standing to get worse, the consequences are too dire to make stealing possible. Some places may attempt it, but we had the last election to tighten up rules and figure out what exactly needs to be monitored to prevent another steal.
Honestly I believe it will be called for Trump the night of election day, and if not the Democrats will be forced to buckle under public outcry and correct their fraud so Trump becomes elected.
What the fuck kind of attachments did you use there?

Agree with the post, but I'm confused as to what you put at the end.
 
Here's the thing, you are calling them 90's Dems for a reason. The meanings of left and right wing changed.
The Democrats are the current real right wing by 90's standards, the racial politics and sexual rights thing is merely window dressing.
I've said it before.
If you think about it, Trump is on the left. If you go back to the original definition, it spawns from the French revolution. The left were those who were pro revolution. While the right were those who were loyal to the king. It came from the fact those loyal to the king sat on the right hand side while those for revolution were on the left hand side in the Palace of Versailles.

Biden, the dems, and the GOPe all are pro uniparty. The status quo. While Trump want bring about changes to the government.

Just a thought experiment I had one day.
