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

My gut says that 3 second video is AI. Its short. Its the only video from the event. But I haven't looked at it deeply to confirm.

It looks a little sussy...if it is AI thats quite scary regardless.

I don't think it's much of a stretch to say that after the debate I still have no idea what Kamala Harris is going to do as president. Why is Jan. 6th still being brought up after televised congressional hearings in primetime were aired? I think people have already formed their opinions on that matter. ABC let Muir and co keep beating on a dead horse. These people are a joke and not a very funny one at that.

And if the "city manager" says they saw Bigfoot, we should just believe their words because government officials would never ever ever lie...right?

Since shitlibs love relating real life to movies, remember the mayor in  Jaws told the press a "large predator" that injured some swimmers was caught, dealt with, and there was no risk to beachgoers.

She's gonna be Joe Biden term 2. So Obama term 4. If she can push more marxist shit, she will. But Its very possible if she wins, the congress will go to the GOP.

 

[Whoopsie Daisy]

I have no say because I'm a filthy Brit and while I would like Trump to win for the seething lolz, I am very curious to see what happens if Kamala wins.

We passed the point where we should stop when Biden won. But let's keep going anyway and see what happens if Kamala wins.

White House staff said it was real.

Young people care more about the fact that they will never be able to own anything in life.

Unfortunately young people will mostly vote democrat, always been the status quo. I do have low expectations of trump winning because they had 10 years of propaganda to influence the election. People would rather starve than get called a racist. We are doomed.

I hate my emotions being played with but can't help but feel a pit of worry in my stomach over the thought of Kamala winning. Last two elections didn't matter because I was underage for one and dirt poor for both. This is the first year I kind of have my shit together. Hope there are other older zoomers that are in the same situation I am and don't care about distraction issues like "climate change", which was stupid as hell when the moderator implied climate change is a young voter issue. No one besides brainwashed college kids gives a FUCK about climate change, them and boomers actually. Absolutely no one my age even mentions climate change besides my redditard coworker. Young people care more about the fact that they will never be able to own anything in life.

For me while I want trump to win I’ve really internalized getting used to the worst outcome. If Kamala wins it’s all good they’ll never really get what they want because all the issues their retarded policies cause for society will simply make them emperors over the ashes. For me personally since it’s already clear I’ll never afford a home or kids if Kamala wins I no longer have to give a shit about society or care if I live or die since living in an atomized retard society is a fate worse than death so I can just focus on enjoying the little things until the collapse and my own demise.

Nothing new under the sun after all, all civilizations have a lifespan and if Kamala gets in it’s just indication that Americas time is done. At least the collapse will be funny and memable

To be clear I don’t mean this as a nihilistic edgelord take but more of “we’ll even if shit is this bad being miserable about it won’t change anything so might as well take it in stride and live life best you can”

Only the dumbest of the dumb vote early in an election. Vote at the last possible moment.

For Democrats, Zoomers are just useful idiots. They are notoriously hard to galvanize and get to vote at all, but usually they vote overwhelmingly Democrat. It’s fucked up that they’ve brainwashed people to be politically correct and force them into their own world just because they don’t want to be seen as “racist.”

(I wanted to wait until the debate was over to respond to this)
Of the three insanely popular dystopian novels (Brave New World, Fahrenheit 451, and 1984), I have an appreciation for BNW in that Huxley aimed for the most wild predictions of the three, yet generally misses the mark more than them.
As a result, the book is both precognitive in ways that the other two weren't (predicting planned obsolescence with "Ending is better than mending", rampant and normalized drug use, state mandated child sex, etc.) but it can also be completely and utterly wrong (for example, Huxley didn't predict that there's a lot more money to be made in treatments over cures, and that disease would never be eradicated in a society like that)

Add Starship Troopers to your list.

Why? Sorry I am going through a tunnel, you're breaking up schewweeweereeee-

One positive is that zoomers, at least from what I've witnessed, find democrats to be on the same level of lameness as how republicans were perceived in the 2000s. Trump really appeals to younger voters while dems still somehow have not figured out how to take advantage of meme culture. Dems are extremely out of touch and pandering and zoomers know that. They are still in a millennial mindset which zoomers hate. SNL type humor. It seems that zoomers are disillusioned with politicians in general and assume (correctly) that they're all liars.

Just stumbled upon this ... The "Trump Curse" strikes again

(In case people don't know, this is right after Grohl bitched and moaned about Trump using a Foo Fighters song at his rallies, lmao)

I find it so funny
-make “Dad rock” that sounds like something my boomer dad listens too
- since it appeals to conservative dads the majority of Trump fans it gets played at rallies
-gets mad that his main demographic likes evil drumphfler
same shit with football, just own up to the fact you’re not gonna change thier minds or gain leftoid fans, you’d make more money going anti woke in those cases.

Early voting is just as big of a problem as mail in ballots. That some states begin letting you vote in mid-September is an absurdity, not just in terms of election integrity but because a lot of shit can happen in a month and a half that can make people regret their early vote.

 

[Nuns with guns]

So much for "prosecutor vs. felon." Kamala brought it up once and Trump shut it down by saying, "that's political persecution." lol

Trump also got to stop Project 2025 claims twice. By the second time, it was clear Kamala was reciting what she had prepared already, which made her look even more foolish to mention Project 2025 again.

I think those are two solid wins for Trump.

Not sure what everyone else is running into this fine day, but Current Ginger asked me if the Springfield stuff is real, given that it's about an hour or so north of me, and when I told her that that's what the locals are saying and that given that Haitians are known to eat cats elsewhere, it probably it, she got super nettled. I think it's an effective talking point against the cat ladies, it's fucking with the programming.

I, of course, asked her why she was bringing it up with me and that if she wants to talk politics we can do it over dinner and wine. Can't take that shit seriously.

JD is going to rape Walz. Man autism'd his way through CNN"s King shill.

This is the exact answer I wanted Trump to give, almost to the word. Walz is toast. I hope Trump accepts a 3rd debate and exclusively takes tips from Vance.

And I am now VERY interested in the 2028 election.

 

[Gondolindrim]

This has nothing to do with politics, but there's a lot of Twitter circlejerking over how "hot" David Muir is. How fast do you think that shit would be shutdown if the female mod was deemed "the hot one"

 

[Get the rope Macaulay!]

Was watching Alan Partridge and realized that the way they showed him to be an out of touch conservative is him loving music from 15 years ago, meaning the equivilent today would be someone listening to MCR

have to deal with boomers not letting them move up to leader roles and spinning in place

it really is this, its crazy seeing how the heads of movie studios in the 70s were all people in their 30s and now its all people in their 60s. same thing with management teams. it doesn't help that with healthcare costs being what they are you're heavily disincentivized from leaving the workplace before 65, and best case scenario they just move the older people into consulting positions. Its hard to get those high paying jobs when you're competing with older people who "love working!" and also every immigrant all over the globe.

but that’s just not true.

you're right but just like with the 80s yuppee, they're the target market demo for that age group and sort of the Jones everyone else tries to keep up with, i know plenty of millennials in the "applied for government benefits and didn't hear back" range of the economy spectrum and they at minimum have the beard and IPA and bar culture down pat.

and that if she wants to talk politics we can do it over dinner and wine.

What if this is what Trump meant by "grab them by the pussy" "just get them talking about their cat, ask to see their cat, pet their cat. they'll be all over you"
