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

 

[Kuritan Deplorable]

To be a populist politician you have to run on popular issues by definition, meanwhile what does the left have?
Whites are evil because of their race?
A billion Haitians are a blessing?
Weird gender shit?
The Gaza obsession?

Correct, and this is why a Lefty Trump analog would be a realignment. The republicans held just a few 'popular' positions, and mostly only as political sticks as opposed to action items before Trump, who's more or less forced a lot of realignment. Now the democrats just need to see the same treatment, an outsider to come in and clean out the dead and unwanted policy.

My pet conspiracy theory is that a big part of the surge in generative AI research and funding was due to rich and powerful monsters getting nervous about who might have copies of the baby-snuff videos they'd starred in. Wasn't long after Epstein's island was raided that artifical image/video generation got a lot of attention and made big breakthroughs.

Assuming this is true, which I doubt, its another case of not thinking through the consequences. Yes, it means that they would have a big old doubt shield to any video or photo evidence of anything they've done. However, that doubt shield is universal, and now they've just lost a big old blackmail tool for any other backroom games. These pedo circles didn't exist and bring people in from the goodness of their hearts, after all. Pay and play all the way through, with the risk of exposure if you stepped outta line. They're killing that whole party.

Reinstate slavery. In fact get rid of prisons and replace the punishment with slavery alongside obvious limitations on cruel treatment of slaves. I don't mean criminals working for Amazon btw, I mean someone steals your car you now own them for 6 months, crime would drop pretty quickly if niggers knew doing shit means they go back to picking cotton.

Time to set up a new business as a middleman, because most of the normies who end up with a few months of some retards time won't even know what to do with it. Round 'em up and get a share of the profits to them as a dividend, then sell that labor off to local places. Gonna set me up a nice little plantation house just shuffling contracts.

But seriously, if a business sector cannot survive paying minimum wage, then either your minimum wage or that business sector are wrong, and you need to correct it. Enslaving illegals by roundabout proxy and abuse is not an improvement.

 

[Not Really Here]

To be fair, I don't think that's true. CSM estimates put illegal again workers around 380k (source) and there's approximately 54k baristas in CA.

Then add in the baristas from the other retarded States that jacked minimum wage above $15 an hour.

Nice bait but you know you're getting desperate my dude.

I'm not sure desperate is the correct description... I don't think he's a dem shill, just a shitposter-style troll. This one was weak though. But it did get responses, so maybe it was good despite my assessment.

This is how it should be everywhere. Proper democracy. But how many of those will actually go through rather than having the government get various courts to overturn them? *cough*Proposition8*cough*

Oy vey goyim I just love democracy so much.

Does he realize Israel will most likely go to shit more under Kamala than Trump?

 

[draggs]

Looking at how well the GOP is doing in early vooting this year, the first time they're seriously working to drive Republican vooter turnout in that area, the main thing I get from it is that Trump was a big retard wrt it in 2020 and 2022. He'd have won in 2020 if his campaign had put the time and energy in early vooting then that it is now, and the red wave in 2022 would have been real. That is all

This is why only retards vote by mail unless it's 100% necessary.

I am retarded and tired. How do I respond to the "but our economy will crumple and die if we have to start paying corn harvesters 15/hr. Everything you like is made from slave labor and no country is going to want to deal with our tariffs. My wages aren't being depressed".
Spoon-feed me stuff to bully this dude.

Depends on how good faith you're trying to be with this, or if this is a positive acquaintance vs. someone annoying you who you want to stop.

Nice case, point out that we used to make things run fine - great even - by paying people an honest wage for doing basic work. And yes, going back to paying Americans an actual livable wage for picking cotton, as well as making rent and other necessities affordable on that "living wage", will be incredibly tumultuous. But the current situation isn't sustainable, and if you want to shrink the gap between the common folk and the rich CEOs then job #1 is removing the ability to hire illegal slave labor to work your shit vs. the common man. And spoiler, the point of the tariffs isn't to make other countries pay us a fuck ton - although some will - it's to stop it being preferable to outsource labor from American companies.

If you just want to shut him up, frame it as a way to force big business to pay their fair share and stick it to billionaires, point out how much it'll mess with Jeff Bezos. Then if he keeps talking just repeat various ways to phrase "it's weird how you keep defending slave labor like that" until he walks away.

• "You really seem to want to keep people working in oppressive conditions though"
• "It just really sounds like you can't imagine not enslaving third world people"
• "Right, but I can't get over you insisting we have to force migrants to do these jobs for like 1/5 of minimum wage"
• "Haha, seriously, like you just keep going on about it"

Imagine the most obnoxious woman you know refusing to get the point, and channel that energy.

Most of these women look mid and old.

I was expecting young hot Sydney Sweeney type pussies in this rally.

McCain at least had a near-20 year history of running successful political campaigns before he tried for the presidency. Kamala, on the other hand, was chosen very early on by the machine to be their next superstar and hasn't had to work for anything. She wasn't supposed to not even make Iowa in 2020; the field had been set for her to take the whole thing.

I doubt the Democrats are going to learn anything from this because Trump is their perfect excuse for everything. But if there's one thing the party desperately needs it's to find names outside the strongholds (NYC, California, Chicago). If Newsom is the next bet, I don't know if it's going to be much better. Newsom is a more politically savvy creature than Kamala and a FAR better communicator, but he's got the same underlying issue of not being able to handle a critical question or interview.

The scary thing is that Newsome might literally be the lesser evil since the only other alternative right now is Whitmer and she's pure fucking evil whereas Newsome has that "I can "change" to make myself more palatable to the rest of the country, honest Injun!" vibe. Whereas Whitmer thinks her brand of cunty behavior is perfect and she has a god given mission to inflict it upon the rest of the country.

Yeah, but they call her Stretchin’ Gretchen for a reason. Her game must be better than Kamalas.

What goes for "right-wingers" and "conservatives" in Europe are often just liberals who hate Muslims.

Explains the impotence of the right wing parties in Europe, once they get power.

Like almost any leftist gathering it's just a bunch of ugly unfuckable whores and low testosterone faggot male enablers.

The Iranian Revolution after 1979, the mullahs went on a hanging judge spree of hanging every commie, that initially helped them overthrow the Shah.

Basically doing the job, that the Shah was slow walking on doing.

Now the only commies left there, are the MEK, who have a bunch of wacko beliefs and less sympathic than the mullahs.

a lot of industries in the US are only as cheap as they are because we're using slave labor at home, right now, in the form of illegals. they're stacked 15 to a house or some of them are even in what's basically slave housing. they work gruelling days for almost no pay, no safety, no rights. they are not innocent either, bringing crime and drugs and child sex trafficking

this is how all elites in all countries expect everyone who isn't one of them to live. they want to lower your quality of life to augment theirs. tariffs that force americans to do business in america with americans help protect us from from lowering our quality of life to be "competitive" globally. they force exploitative people with consolidated power and money to pay their fair share for living in nice places and having nice stuff

you think all those slaves in those shitty countries are really so far away it can't happen to you? that the rich people that want to profit off of slavery are willing to live next to you and share their space and their money? nuh uh

you're next

I wonder what Whitmer's big plan is for beating out Nancy's nephew. Being the living embodiment of everything that is the AWFL demo isn't going to be enough for the powers that be to choose her over the golden boy.

Sad part is Michigan democrats act like she's a wonderful person and Detroit is back on top and getting better.
I dunno why it is like that but I think the deep seated racial issues from the mid 1960s with white flight turned these places into Pozzed zones that vote dem just on familial principle.

Do I think there are lessons -to- be learned or do I think there are lessons that -will- be learned because those are veeeeeeeeery different answers?

I would like to hear both please, and what lessons do you think they will learn?

Jesus Christ a lot of people are falling for a George Lucas post. It's bait, dummies. Nobody does it as good as ole Georgie.

It's funnier with the media acting like it's a bad thing. Almost as if nobody cares about January 6th because it's been 3 years already.

I truely do love how that dude who got trashed on twitter for the "30-50 feral hogs" memes defending the use of a AR-15 is justified each and every day.

I don't think people realize just how BIG a domesticated hog is, now imagen its feral.

Iirc in Australia (or somewhere) they use shotguns to hunt them. They're scary.
