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

 

[FILTH Tourist]

I say he has a better chance of running and winning if Kamala wins, than not. In 2028, Newsom will be 60 years old, he will be remembered as governor of California, and a far left progressive. If Trump wins, and we get four years of prosperity than the better part of the last decade from most people will be; four years of democrat decline and four years of MAGA prosperity. The presumed Republican candidate will be JD Vance, a younger, smarter, more charismatic family man, who just spent the last four years co-leading the nation to a better tomorrow. It'll be the 08 Obama-McCain race all over again. Except this time, the old fart will be a white democrat in a party that is sick of straight white men. Doesn't want straight white men, Kamala has to win, otherwise I don't see a President Newsom.

I think a Kamala/Walz presidency would fully taint the dems as they had 4 bad years with Biden and 4 more bad years with Kamala. The pendulum will be ready to swing Rep at that point. Also Dems (the self described party of unity) has a huge stigma of public infighting so Newsome is going to have a hard time getting Kamala and Walz to step aside for his shot.

A Trump win would be Newsome's only chance because Trump could drop the ball at the end of his term that Newsom can spring board off of.

I'm terrified of Kamala in a way that Biden never concerned me with, she is literally unhinged, she will do everything possible to destroy the people and the memory of our nation ; the perfect global citizen that the enemies of America could install as executive over us in their wildest dreams.

Just to be clear, I'm not anti-woman, but why are all these women that the hegemonic powers are presenting to the vote literally the worst women ever

Well, California court said that he can't do that, and blocked this law.

Because politics is a male dominated industry and any woman who makes it to the top is a real piece of work.

Newsom btfo'd. Get ready for a deluge of AI memes at his expense.

I laughed.

SOCIAL SECURITY IS A PYRAMID SCHEME.

It’s worse than that. The pyramid scheme is just an effect. Social security is a nationwide abandonment of the Fourth Commandment (fuck off protties it’s the honor parents one) and all the ills associated with it are just the natural results of national family abandonment.

You can’t solve destroyed and worthless families on a national scale with more money. It has to be solved at an individual level and part of the solution is stop paying people to be fucktards.

Being a career politician means being in love with the sound of your own voice, enjoying telling others what to do, emotionally manipulating others, unjustly enriching oneself, betraying people and hypocritically moralizing. This is bad enough for a man, but a woman like that is the stuff of nightmares.

Do I even have to say it? Is he paid to tweet like that?

Literally yes. He's among that crowd of paid Democrat "influencers," like Faggy Sisson, Brooklyn Homo Defiant, and Ho-Ho from Jersey. They all were invited to the Biden WH for some photo ops or some shit.

He's one of those faggy reply guys who posted on every tweet that Trump made. I'm pretty sure that's literally his only claim to fame

Look at his PP. There's a reason he's been given the sobriquet "AIDS Clapton"

The black chick ranting about how Walz shouldn't have been so civil ... Lady, you are so full of hate and vitriol that it's amazing.

My sister in Christ, that black chick is Simone Sanders, a DNC blowhard who was a Bernie campaign muckity-muck and who was VP Kamala's first press secretary (until she fled after about a year because of how toxic a working environment Kamala not the Ugandan Giant generates).

Women who tend to rise to the top tend to do so in Right Wing environments, because these tend to be less consensus based. So the AfD is headed by Alice Weidel, there was that Serbian prime minister, the Conservatives in the UK have had Thatcher and other female leaders whilst their counterparts the Labour Party have never had a single female leader. In France, Marine Le Penn has headed up National Rally (right wing nationalist party) for years. In Italy you have Georgia Meloni. It is uncommon but not unusual to have female leaders on the political right. What is very rare is to find a woman reach the top on the Left. Kamala is very out of the ordinary having done so and the reason is likely that it's not a position of merit but of figurehead. She has no political goals other than in the sense of career climbing. She is happy to and in fact needs to be, a front for other interest groups. She does not have the background to be anything else.

I know there will be other examples but the only female politician who has reached the top on the Left that I can think of in terms of actual political power, is Nancy Pelosi. And wasn't she a Mafia princess?

Not exactly the apex of global power, but there was that former Finnish PM, their first female PM, who was driven from power for being a party hoe. Her name eludes me because it's Finland so I can't be arsed to look it up.

You're thinking of Sanna Marin.



Easy on the eyes but outside of her comments about Finland and NATO which touches on my areas of interest, I don't know enough about Finnish politics to say where she lies domestically, outside of globalist agenda. Or if like Kamala she's more of a figurehead or (was) an actual powerbroker.

October surprises are coming at a dizzying pace. But the question is whether grave crises at home and abroad can break a dead heat between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris in an election that’s already been marked by huge turmoil.

The White House is grappling with three challenges that could threaten the vice president’s hopes and offer an opening to the Republican nominee’s narrative of Biden-era negligence. A month before Election Day, the US faces the grave possibility of being dragged into a Middle East conflagration; a port workers’ strike could harm inflation-weary consumers; and political pressure is rising in the fallout of Hurricane Helene.

Trump, meanwhile, was hit on Wednesday by the unsealing of a 165-page document in which special counsel Jack Smith gives the fullest picture of his case in the federal 2020 election interference case. The ex-president has pleaded not guilty, but the filing re-injected his attempt to steal the last election into the frantic endgame of a campaign partially shaped by Democrats’ claims he poses an existential threat to American democracy.

Each situation highlights potential vulnerabilities for both candidates as voters make up their minds. The trio of tests facing Harris comes with potential economic, political and humanitarian consequences if the administration errs. And the new scrutiny of Trump’s behavior after the 2020 election could cause some voters to again question his fitness for the Oval Office.Trump’s election meddling thrust back into 2024 race
One of the most bewildering aspects of the 2024 election is that a former president accused of trying to overthrow the previous election has an even chance of winning this one.

The depth of Trump’s alleged election stealing plot was laid bare in Smith’s filing, which said that he “extensively used private actors and his campaign infrastructure to attempt to overturn the election results.” Smith, trying to get around this summer’s Supreme Court ruling that granted presidents substantial immunity for official acts, added that Trump “operated in a private capacity as a candidate for office.”

In one of the most damning parts of the filing, Smith said he had evidence that showed the then-president told family members, “It doesn’t matter if you won or lost the election. You still have to fight like hell.”

Trump has falsely claimed that all his legal exposure proves that the Biden administration has weaponized justice against him to meddle in this election. Campaign spokesman Steven Cheung claimed that “President Trump is dominating, and the Radical Democrats throughout the Deep State are freaking out.”

Trump has also forced fellow Republicans to adopt his false claims of fraud in 2020. In the vice presidential debate on Tuesday, his running mate JD Vance couldn’t bring himself to publicly say his boss lost the last election.

While Republican voters seem willing to buy into Trump’s false narrative, it remains unclear how deeply events four years ago still weigh on the minds of swing-state voters and how much, if at all, Smith’s unsealed document will shape the race.

Events threaten to conspire against Harris
The greatest vulnerability for Harris may lie in a sense the post-pandemic normality that Joe Biden pledged to restore in 2020 is still unrealized, while Republicans make a case that Democratic leadership is outmatched by cascading events at home and abroad.

A long-dreaded war between Iran and Israel could force the United States into fighting with Tehran after more than four decades of proxy antagonism and put Americans in harm’s way. Any consequent energy crisis could send gas prices soaring and shatter Harris’ economic credentials. The port stoppage is pulling the administration between its support for unionized labor and an imperative to prevent supermarket shortages and hiked prices. Meanwhile, Helene is the second deadliest hurricane to strike the US mainland in the past 50 years, following Katrina in 2005, which became a symbol of how mismanaged natural disasters can create political cataclysms.

“Look at the World today — Look at the missiles flying right now in the Middle East, look at what’s happening with Russia/Ukraine, look at Inflation destroying the World. NONE OF THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS PRESIDENT!” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Tuesday. His argument ignores the daily chaos that raged when he was in office. But unlike in 2020, amid his botched handling of the Covid-19 crisis, Trump is not an incumbent and his post could be a crisp election argument against the current administration. Proliferating crises also allow Trump to revive one of the key themes of his campaign – that he offers strength and Harris and Biden are weak.

Each of the problems looming over the White House race might qualify for the cliche October surprise. Yet their impact is hard to assess since this campaign’s many twists have yet to have a decisive impact. Trump has, for example, been convicted of a crime and escaped two assassination attempts. An incumbent president running for reelection abandoned his campaign a few months before Election Day.

Still, after the vice presidential debate on Tuesday night, there are now no scheduled set-piece occasions that offer the prospect of a major twist in the campaign. That means effectively navigating the crises that do arise could become even more vital.

Any development could in theory take on outsize significance among the perhaps several hundred thousand voters in a handful of swing states that will decide this election. Harris has a narrow lead in some national polls, but most swing state surveys show no clear leader and margins within sampling errors.

In 2028, Newsom will be 60 years old, he will be remembered as governor of California, and a far left progressive.

He's been tacking right in demonstrative ways to set the stage for this too. Demanding cities get the homeless off the street and doing staged photo ops of him purging a homeless camp, vetoing the speed limiter in cars bill. Expect to see a lit more of this as he tries to shed his rep as a far leftist governor.

 

[Vaclav]

Kamala picked Walz because is she didn't want to be upstaged by a competent pick.
If she picked Shapiro or Newsome, alot of normies would be asking "Why isn't he on top of the ticket?"

Also because Shapiro transparently conspired to get his friend off the hook for murdering his fiance and Newsome knows that if he loses to Trump, his career is over. He'll get a better shot either after Trump or after Harris.

 

[Mourning_Cloak]

Just to be clear, I'm not anti-woman, but why are all these women that the hegemonic powers are presenting to the vote literally the worst women ever

Because the "worst women ever" are generally what this group champions as being the "ideal" woman (aside from trannies).

There are plenty of women involved in state and local politics that while not perfect (because nobody is), are certainly not shrieking, soulless harpies. Women who hold right-wing, center-right, or even center-left views nowadays experience a LOT of pushback when pursing political careers on the national stage because they simply aren't on the "right side of history." Obviously there are a few exceptions, like Sarah Palin, or when a supposedly anti-progressive backwater state like Alabama repeatedly elects an elderly lady as governor.

Having a woman like Sarah Palin or Kari Lake partake in the national abortion sperging makes it a whole lot harder to keep soapboxing about how "all women" need, benefit from, and want abortions. It also doesn't help when women like that demonstrate you can be a mother and have a career at the same time.

 

[World Famous Quasi Payer]

I think a Kamala/Walz presidency would fully taint the dems as they had 4 bad years with Biden and 4 more bad years with Kamala. The pendulum will be ready to swing Rep at that point.

That only works if the pool of voters isn't being expand every year with a couple hundred thousand to a million new voters looking for gibs. There's a reason 20,000 haitians get dumped in a place like Springfield Ohio, and it isn't because that town in a red county, in a red state is desperate for new blood. Kamala gets in, and you'll have another four years off staving off that pendulum swing.
