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

 

[Jet Fuel Johnny]

Remember, the modern birth control implant lasts for years.

Then you have propaganda creating people like our gone but not forgotten Android Raptor, who screeched that women burst into flames the second they get pregnant. Then people who will scream not to have children too early or you ruin your life.

Terrify them about pregnancy.

Shame them into waiting until they're 40+ years old

Give them birth control from 12 years on so they can have all the sex they want.

Terrify them about any pregnancy that might happen.

Give them abortions if they do get pregnant.

"WHY IS THE WEST'S BIRTH RATE SO LOW?"

 

[Nuns with guns]

Exactly why is the mystery, but one of the big factors is that young mothers under 25 have basically vanished as a cohort. A lot of developing nations could in a way cheese their fertility rates through irresponsible young people, but by now birth control has effectively removed that group. Even in what you would assume a more family orientated Catholic region we see widespread birth control usage. Coupling that with your aforementioned feminism, the women wanting to wait longer bares out in the data.

This guy is correct. Latin American countries have drunk the birth control Kool-Aid. They don't care about the Catholic doctrine at all.

PL: wife and I are in an IVF cycle right now after an infertility diagnosis. I about blew my fucking stack when I was told that some of the drugs we had to pay for were covered by insurance but only if they’re being used for gender affirming treatment.

We don’t have a problem paying out of pocket thankfully but it’s like 17-20k for the retrieval and 4-5 for a single transfer and it’s not even a guarantee to get a kid out of a transfer. And the financing that some give out is worse than buying a hellcat as a nigger with a 300 credit score.

You post on Kiwi Farms and your wife is getting IVF? How long before autism diagnosis? You'll have to set up your child with a Kiwi Farms account.

All joking aside, good luck. Not everyone can start a family nowadays.

 

[CaddestSlown]

Not surprising. That's the issue so toxic, they are losing elected officials to the other party because of it. They're too far gone to drop tranny support from their actual policies, but for the one time they would have guaranteed eyeballs, they had to put on a careful show. Even then, the DNC made sure to include trannies in the state delegate roll call, so they can claim they weren't intentionally hiding them.

It's not a "pendulum swinging the other way" moment, at all. It's a momentary pause in a decade-long aggressive push. It only feels like a retreat, compared to the constant forward momentum.

I agree it's a lull, but keep in mind there's another gargantuan factor as to why they have to cool it down a bit with their support: They just aren't as profitable anymore as an interest group. There's fatigue and annoyance surrounding it, and that fatigue is going to last a while. For their zookeepers, the pendulum isn't swinging the other way, but the irate normies outside of the zoo watching are increasingly pissed as more and more gender related horrors are brought to the public eye.

While the irons are hot, opposition is striking against the issue and making it a talking point.

"Transgender Lunacy, women in sports," etc.

If the Democrats rise up and fight against it, well, that's not keeping it under wraps at all, is it? It'll put more focus on it, and they for sure want to keep that shit on the downlow. But if they DON'T rise up and fight against it, the golems will get mad.



Despairing democrats should consider themselves lucky, 41% of that golem will take themselves out before doing anything too damaging to their master's reputation! Honk honk!

 

[LaxerBRO]

No trans stuff at the DNC was such a let down. I understand why, and it was good optics especially as it has been a very red-pilling topic, but considering how nuts they are I was expecting 2020 primaries "trans women should get abortion access" level of nuts

I was hoping for the DNC to take the Michelle Wolf path on abortion, which is to celebrate it:

Been seeing a lot of people saying Trump is going to Rikers on the 18th. Planning on keeping myself inside to watch the news if that shit happens. Gonna be a lot of pissed off people.

 

[Romulus augustulus]

The Nazis in general got the most votes though so they won the equivalent of the House or Senate or whichever bit is equivalent in the USA. (I don't really understand the House and Senate things, I haven't really looked into them. Here in the UK we just have MPs in Parliament. And the House Of Lords but those are appointed and partially hereditary, as the hereditary part for new Lords was abolished about 20 years ago.)

The US House is directly elected like parliament and the Senate used to be essentially a copy of the house of lords. Senators were appointed by their states. usually from the state legislatures. one of the biggest mistakes in this countries recent history is making the senate a democracy. it allowed out-of-state money and votes to influence who gets elected.

the old way was much more representative since a appointed senator had to have been in local politics for years (usually) and a known quantity. they were more closely aligned with the voters. now some big shot can move in to some state, buy land to establish residency, take in millions of PAC money and win a seat in the senate without ever doing anything for the state they are supposed to represent. Romney is not from Utah, he is a masshole.

Romney's not from Massachusetts either, he's from Michigan

Who the fuck thought this was a good idea? Fire that person.

Yeah, where the fuck was the actual President? Why does this guy keep showing up but the people that actually have the job never bother?

I always had a hunch he was Somalian.

It also made the senator answerable to the people through the state government, working to keep the federal government subordinate to the state governments instead of now the other way around.

[The Ugly One]

Since learning about NFP I've been shocked to think of how much explicit detail public school sex ed goes into about various acts of sodomy, but kids are never given a simple week-by-week breakdown of what a normal female cycle looks like. And yet this information is crucial to women who want to remain healthy, and to men who want to plan a family with a woman.

Fertility is a disease that is cured by birth control. To a lib, teaching a woman how fertility works makes as much sense as going into great detail about all the stages of emphysema. Just teach people not to smoke.

Once you start looking for it you can see "don't breed" messages everywhere like a bizzarro world They Live.

The ultimate redpill is realizing They Live was propaganda by the aliens to convince people not to marry and reproduce.

Hamburglar Harris

It's not as damning an attack as the GOP thinks.

I was over at my brother's house today helping to order some DoorDash. He lives in a very suburban area of a very red state. At the end of the meal we went to one of the nearby Coldstone's. It’s the kind of place that podcasters, shitposters, legit race realists and the email job class go to unwind with a cold sundae.

Vice President Harris was on the TV and the local talk radio host said to his publisher (friends since Yale),

“You know what? That ain’t so bad. I've never worked a fast food job either, the people who do vote for $15 minimum wage, and lying on your resume shows good business sense. Can’t believe I’m saying this but Ol’ McD's Knees got my vote this year.”

I looked around and all I saw were heads nodding in agreement. I heard a few calls of “Yes sir” and “MAGA country” from the men around me. Even saw the lonely cat ears wearing groyper in the corner raise his waffle cone with a nod.

Birth rate collapse in South America is a fascinating subject. I don't have the report on me right now, but I remember that a graph showed in 30 years between 1990-2020, which tracked the decline, showed that Asia experienced a 41% birthrate decline, while South America experienced something like 39% (don't quote me on that number but I remember those two were fairly close on the graph, enough that it surprised me)

Exactly why is the mystery, but one of the big factors is that young mothers under 25 have basically vanished as a cohort. A lot of developing nations could in a way cheese their fertility rates through irresponsible young people, but by now birth control has effectively removed that group. Even in what you would assume a more family orientated Catholic region we see widespread birth control usage. Coupling that with your aforementioned feminism, the women wanting to wait longer bares out in the data.

There is perhaps a point to be argued here among pro-natalists, as while you would ideally want each family to be ready and the children to have the best their parents can offer, irresponsible sex is an easy way to juice the numbers, and you can even make the argument that perhaps some parents who would be great parents but would never feel ready or want to might have profoundly different experiences when a kid suddenly appears to force unexpected choices. The point here is the clash between every child should be planned for and wanted so you can give it the best, versus analysis paralysis means that you have children later, but might have been able to support and handle more if you'd started earlier and had to adapt on the fly.

Latin America has seen some pretty sudden collapses in birthrate in a short period, Argentina's birthrate fell by something like 30% in the last 5 years. In this case we can tie this to Argentina's turbulent economy, such as the 70s oil shock in Japan and Italy. But as we know so far correctly that drop that comes with a downturn is difficult. Economic shocks cause collapses, but recovery doesn't recover the birthrate.

If you look at the TFR across South America, most of it is seemingly below replacement rate (2.1, although it's technically calculated by the likelihood of a woman surviving to childbearing combined with the male/female birth ratio). In less developed areas, that 2.1 may actually be higher, whereas say in developed nations such as the UK the actual replacement rate might be something like 2.07. The main reason I'd point that out is that the less developed parts of the world may be reproducing far less than you think.

The final point I'll bring up is that migrants going to urban centers for jobs often experience huge birthrate collapses between generations, with third gen immigrants often having a fertility rate even lower than the native population. I don't know if this native average being compared is being inflated by more rural natives pushing up the rate and the rate we see with these third might just be the urban birthrate, or if they go lower than the urban native.

Honestly, this right here is proof that immigration does nothing to solve the issues with declining birth rates. I know the left isn't using immigration to solve America's decline (Its to replace white people obviously), but the next time a leftist brings up "We need more immigration to combat declining birth rates" then point out how its been almost 60 years since the 1965 immigration act and if they're still whining about declining birth rates then this shows how much of a failure the policy was and isn't the solution to said problem. Also if these countries the migrants are coming from have declining birth rates as well then how are leftists going to argue for immigration if they'll be no one left in those countries?

Oh, OK, thanks. I understand now. The House Of Lords is a bit different in that the Lords are appointed by the Prime Minster and the King (or Queen, as it was). Well, chosen by them but actually appointed by the King as part of his duties. It's got very controversial the last couple of decades as it's mostly been political cronies chosen rather people deemed truly worthy. (The non-political ones were almost definitely the Queen's choices. I don't really know who has been made a Lord under King Charles, I haven't been paying attention as I don't really care as the whole government is so corrupt.) Ironic since they did away with hereditary Lords to try to get rid of those deemed unworthy.

Romney is not from Utah, he is a masshole.

Interestingly I noticed that Valentina Gomez seems to be thinking of moving to Utah. I wonder if maybe she's planning on challenging him?

 

[Jade Philosophies]

That was a segue to bitch about one of Trump's mean tweets, comparing Harris to Monica Lewisnky. "This is insinuating that Kamala Harris somehow traded sexual favors in return for political positions, a claim we 100% know is NOT TRUE."

Kamala Harris is the Zoe Quinn of politics.

 

[Get the rope Macaulay!]

This is a secret

they didn't have sex ed in your school? imagine never learning about periods. judging by the textbooks i think everyone under 50 learned about it. same thing with MLK and slavery, thats what boomers don't realize because i guess school was just daycare but health class was all about periods. I

, the chances are approximately 20%

but thats every time you have sex, its like how you're bound to hit the lottery if you buy enough tickets. seems like a lot of women aren't willing to fuck enough.

They think girls will use it as a way to either get pregnant on purpose or to engage in condomless sex without risking pregnancy.

when the fuck did y'all go to school, because my school was all about the rhythm method,

because at 35 your odds are cut in half, by 40 it's cut in half again, by 45 its basically impossible

and yet society, especially for whites demands you complete college and sometimes even get your masters, meaning in the best case scenario you're 30 by the time you're married, if you jump through every hoop boomers said society expects from you. At which point half your eggs are fucking gone. gun to my head, i can't name a single white person i know who completed college who got married before 30, and i'm a social butterfly. Meanwhile the amount of "oops" babies that minorities struggle their way into having is insane. i know a latina who became a grandma before her friend who was born on the same day became a mother. You can whine about healthcare all you want, until we admit the social and society aspect of it this shit won't get better.

Like the idea of having to sacrifice all your fun times so you can give your kids a better life is just bullshit, while you can do that, all it does is create resentment, not just from your kids but from other parents. Meanwhile the parents i know who exclusively took their kids to bars are seen as fun and a great group to hang around. Its like signing your kids up for sports or clubs vs letting them do hoodrat stuff with their friends. no one talks about what sports they won or what achievements they got in school, even the kids they got sports scholarships talk more about the locker room antics than winning a fucking trophy.

meanwhile the latchkey kids can spend easily 1000 hours just talking about their lives.

Then you have propaganda creating people like our gone but not forgotten Android Raptor,

pretty sure being abandoned by her mom was more effective propaganda than anything the media created. i'm pretty sure trannies have a higher birth rate than foster kids.

. They don't care about the Catholic doctrine at all.

the Vatican basically admitted defeat once they let the Argentine become pope. it would be like if they let hitler be in charge of israel, no matter how good of a job he does, the citizens won't follow his orders anymore.

. Romney is not from Utah,

except he's mormon and even in your "appointed by the state/governor" would have led to the same outcome. Letting the senate remain "the local government's minion" wouldn't change the whole "superpac them into office" strategy, they'd just have to give a bit more money at most. And it would just really force national politics to focus on state control a bit more, meaning way more blue states, by doing direct elections all it does is eliminate the middle man because a person who'd be elected by the people would most likely have been supported by the state as well. All the "appointed by the state" bullshit does is fuck over political outsiders and make senators a more dignified position but not really do much beyond that for anyone.

I hate nigger women so much.
