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

 

[Hey Johnny Bravo]

What if the mother is a doctor or something?

What if companies started paying people enough that a single person could support a whole family (like you used to be able to do)? What if the government stopped spending so much money that the USD is worth less? What if we didn't flood the country with people who will work 90 hours a week for less than median wage, thus undercutting Americans who want to live a nice life?

This is just more daddy government shit.

Do you have a source for that? Interesting.

I've talked to him enough to figure it out. My source is him.

Then I want a different doctor.

What if she's a good doctor though?

Thiel bankrolled the destruction of Gawker and all the faggot groypers and alt-right dipshits have never forgiven him for it.

 

[Hey Johnny Bravo]

He was running against Hillary Clinton.
Hillary was already unpopular, the dem vote was split due to Bernie bros and protest voters for Stein, Comey dropped his shitshow as the October Surprise and the DNC got too complacent, so Hillary completely neglected to campaign in the south.

So Hillary lost a popularity contest and Trump won it.

You're conflating popularity (being liked) with popularity (being known). For example, Chris Chan is very popular on the internet. He is not genuinely liked. He's well-known for being mocked.
Trump has been one of the most contentious men in politics for the last decade, that plus his COVID blunders cost him the 2020 election.

Then how is he still relevant? If he was not genuinely liked, he wouldn't be around anymore. Is there some J00ish conspiracy keeping him around? How does someone stay relevant for 8 straight years if they're roundly despised? You're not answering my question, Neil.

This thread is more parasocial today than it has been in years.

You can see who is a member of each forum social group by likes and response content very clearly right now. The trenches have lost all their cover for a moment and everyone has retreated to their zones. I've even seen sub-groups within forum cliques that I have not noticed before.


It really is the best part of the forum.

Dude we can't have that or else the ponzi scheme will collapse and the rich fags dicks will get soft because the peons are actually living and not just surviving.

Man just before the second ad break Walz quipped "I don't run Facebook", imagine if Vance could've replied to that, in context of Zuckerberg's recent claims.

This is a glorified BBS from the late 90's. You don't have to analyze it. Don't get it twisted.

This thread isn't titled "The Trump Fan Hugbox Thread", or "#KiwisForTrump", its' the US Politics General and people are allowed to talk politics, even if they don't suck Trump's cock and gaslight themselves into ignoring his flaws and many fuckups.

Yep, Trump's numbers are so good right now that you have no reason to get up and go outside to vote! He's already got it in the bag, already practically won the election when he falsely accused legal Haitian immigrants of eating people's pets based on a facebook post on live television, or accused Kamala of wanting to "perform transgender operations on illegal aliens in prison", or during the most highly televised event in the election cycle.

Keep listening to Rasmussen and other right wing pollsters!

Sure but you add nothing of value to the discussion. Just emotional sperging. Remove any of your posts and nothing worth reading is lost.

I see why people don't like engaging in politics. It's exhausting.

unless you're a maladjusted person who thrives on social discord and conspiracy theories, like most of A&H

I really want to like Walz but the fact that he passed the child trans surgery bill in his state is such a deal breaker for me. I just hope he did it out of ignorance more than anything.

He's a pure evil piece of shit friend, he really is. Nothing is likable, nothing is redeemable, nothing about him is good or kind.

Politics is to me what professional wrestling is to others. It is a constant source of storylines, heels, faces, shoots, works, rises, falls, and overall entertainment.

Beyond embarrassing. Walz spent the debate looking like a hapless, frightened old man; a scowling old coot; or an agitated cult leader. Comparisons to Marshall Applewhite, the leader of Heaven’s Gate who got 38 people to kill themselves, are unavoidable. This nigger looks nuts:

This is true distress and lack of emotional control. No one this reactive and fearful looking should lead our nation. Tim Walz is just too much of a faggot.

If these people get in, we're getting WW3 for sure.

I'd make a joke but this is a designated No Fun Allowed subforum.

10 bucks says Save the Loli will be the next guy to set himself on fire outside a building.

Seriously what's the deal with that guy anyways? His posts and threads have always been so schizo even by Kiwifarms standards. He once made a post about how democrats' children should be sent to camps, and he seemed 100% unironic about it too. Does he even talk to anyone irl? It's like his brain has been completely subsumed by the most insane /pol/ takes.

He's not very sane friend, beyond that I'm not sure I care to find out. I don't really respond to him anymore, it's like pissing in the wind, sure it's fun and feels good and warm, but when you come inside you realise you are covered in your own piss.

Yeah, how else did you expect gay men to react when their favorite gossip site is taken down?

It'd be fascinating to see the debate prep the two candidates had. I'd put money there'll be some utter insanity in both.

Hopefully this isn’t late, I’m still about 20 pages behind in the thread.. Whilst I can’t answer for yesterday’s debate prep if this is something that interests you I’d recommend Shattered: Inside Hillary Clinton’s Doomed Campaign by Amie Parnes and Jonathan Allen. It catalogues every stage of the 2016 rollercoaster ride from launch to (happy) ending and the descriptions of the debate prep are unreal. The person being Trump went as far as hiring several podiums, dressing up as DT including suits and overlong tie and refusing to engage with her out of character. They even kept the rehearsals to the same times as the debate. Pretty much SNL but real.

It’s quite eye opening and whilst sympathetic and partisan to the Dems knowing the outcome makes reading it particularly delicious and it shines a spotlight on what happens behind the scenes in campaigns.

That might explain why Trump's rise to prominence, his love of WWE.
