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

 

[Absolutego]

I'm picturing election night, if they can't find a way to rig it for her. Her epic freakout as she starts drunkenly DEMANDING that people get out there and fix it for her because she's OWED this after the past 4 years of dealing with Biden and DOKTOR Jill and she was PROMISED power.

Want to bet she pulls a Hillary and refuses to concede? Or speak publicly about it? Beyond just her being drunk, what if that was them retreating to see if they could rig shit enough to "fortify" their votes?

Trump should, once it hits 10 or 11, maybe 12 Eastern, claim victory -- remember, the constitution says the vote counting stops at midnight, and for a damned good reason -- and have people leak a rumor that Kamala called and conceded. That would put a nice wrench into any rigging plans for 4 am dumps.

I think she'll bluster in the event they can't spend a week and a half printing ballots, but she much more fundamentally understands she's a puppet with handlers. Hillary was such a bulldog she moved heaven and earth to wrest control of the party, which is why she lost her shit upon failing to win.
I expect Harris' primary motivation should she lose would be to find some way to get back into Californian politics or a cushy lobbying gig.

I can't see her being allowed back into politics ever again, having fucked things up so badly, nor can I see her having any worth as a lobbyist. She has no influence to sell, no insider contacts, nothing.

Hillary had that same problem, the more people saw her the worse her numbers got. They're doing a 2020 redo and it's not working, so yeah they're in panic mode to push these idiots all over the place.

I think I saw the dems are outspending the RNC by 3 to 1 in ads? What a waste.

Yeah, in 2020 it worked for Biden because of covid, and because of the "image" the media painted for him during the Obama years as this "sweet and silly grandpa." Then, more and more people were seeing that Biden is actually a son of a bitch and cognitively declining as America was going down the shitter under his watch.

2020 was their one chance to do the "basement method." It's not working this time at all because Harris is riding the coattails of this total failure of an administration while not providing any tangible solutions to the problems she helped cause. Nor is she trying.

"Lucy, you've got some 'splainin' to do!" is how the American people are feeling about Kamala right now, hence why the basement method didn't work this time. And it looks worse and worse for her with every interview she does because she keeps reading the same, exact script that tells the American people nothing about her or her policies.

If she has a political future in the event that she loses this election, then she's going to be the next Governor of California. She enjoys the perks too much from holding power that I highly doubt she'll disappear.

She has a "lifestyle" she wants to maintain.

I'd call Kamala a lot of things but coked up ain't one of them.

On an unrelated note does anyone else remember the woman who claimed Kamala killed her mom in a drunk driving accident and than use the DA office and her connections to cover it up, and when everyone's reaction was to wait for more information or declare it fake and gay. Only for it to just disappear when no one ran with it? That was weird.

I think everyone could see from a mile away that story was fake. Plausible, sure. But people knew to wait for more info on it. And it never appeared as the story never gained traction.

Kamala's biggest issue is that she's had barely any public appearances, and furthermore, any appearances she has made have the major downside that they star Kamala Harris.

I'm convinced every time she says something a few voters just say "Fuck it, I'm voting Trump."

If she was an actual player in the party like HilDawg, and not just some DEI puppet, I could imagine her instigating a riot on inauguration day, setting up kangaroo courts, etc. like after the past 2 elections.

I think what she might do is refuse to certify the election.

As Dan Rather put it about back in the day, 'Fake but accurate'.

I like his odds

They'll throw her jeetnigger ass under the bus faster and harder than they did Hildawg post-election day 2016

I'm really looking forward to the day some female Republican inevitably is the first woman president (only way voters can be certain she won't be insufferable) and all the wine aunts losing their shit
Just plz let it be someone not named Boebert or Greene

It's likely going to be Tulsi which will make MTG seethe into another dimension.

A Republican woman who can carry herself like Tulsi Gabbard would be ideal as a first woman president. Hell, why not Tulsi altogether (as long as she has changed on some issues of course)?

I know that some conservatives still have a lot of reservations about Tulsi given her former policy proposals from when she was a Democrat ... But I doubt that anyone can deny that she acts like she could lead.

In 2006 or so I told some black guys at work that the first black president would be a conservative Republican. They scoffed and said ain't no way a black person ever gonna win. And then we got..

So we all lost that one.

I think she's sufficiently managed to piss both party administrations off enough to close that window
we'll see.

Prepare for decades of "AKSHUALLY she was a Democrat and tricked the stooopid republicans into voting for her by switching parties, so that counts as a win for US!"

You mean the woman who's pro-military Kamala?

No, really. Go back and actually listen to her in the democratic presidential primary instead of daydreaming of fucking her. I will never understand this shit with Tulsi.

Democrats have ensured there won't be another black president for a long time unless he or she is a Republican

Democrats have also ensured there won't be a woman president for a long time unless she is a Republican

I didn't say I wanted her there, I'm just saying that it's likely that she will be the female candidate. There is literally no one more "balanced" than her. Every other female choice seems to be nuts to some degree.

She does not come off as unlikeable as Hillary or MTG and doesn't throw word salads like Kamala.

She is such an easy win for the DNC that I'm surprised they haven't used her but that may be because she doesn't seem to be as much of a puppet, as it was said before, it's a "we'll see" scenario, a lot can happen in four years.

 

[Brenda Holiday]

Comparing Hillary and Kamala shows how hopelessly unprofessional and unqualified Kamala is. Never thought I would be praising Hillary but go back and watch her speak, then watch Kamala speak. Its clear Hillary is a professional politician, that knows how to speak like one and say empty things that sound good to the average american. That didn't work against Trump, obviously, since Trump didn't play the game. Plus you'll get a reminder how fun the old debates were before they had to practically put Trump in a cage in a sterile empty room.

If Shapiro wants a chance in hell to win, though, he had better hope that Trump win this year and fix the Israeli-Palestinian conflict so that the left wing-charged antisemitism cools down. lol.

How could Trump "fix" the Israeli-Palestinian war that doesn't piss the left off even more? Short of cutting funding and sanctioning Israel, the left will never be happy. Shapiro "I was in the IDF" has no hope of running as a democrat at this point, let alone in four years.

Old bibi has till October 2026 before he is legally locked out of power according to people in the 2023 Israel-Palestine thread. I fully expect him to keep this war going until then, and if he does, it'll only make the left more rabid on this issue. The pro-israel dnc is dead after November 5th.
