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

 

[Marchesa of the Vast]

I think they are starting to realize that everyone is paying attention and they can't get away with this bullshit out in the open now. kek

At this point I lean towards the opinion that the only reason they are hammering on TRUMP=HITL0R is to rally the faithful to do the needful and stuff boxes.

 

[StarkRavingMad]

I think I'll have to get started on that drawing for you...

lol we'll see, but it's looking really close. Rasmussen and Baris have both said that Virginia is winnable only if there's super high turnout, so we'll see how that prediction holds up. Honestly, I would call it a good thing/mild victory if Trump loses within a couple of points ... That would mean the GOP is making huge gains in that state for future elections. Also, making VA close pretty much solidifies a W in at least NC, GA, and possibly closes the deal for Trump in PA as well.

I could be wrong, but if a high government worker population like VA is within striking distance for Trump, then I really don't see how he loses most of the swing states full of blue collar workers ... At least not in a legitimate election, lol.

I think this is safe to say though: If Trump pulls an upset in VA on Election Night, it's over for Harris.

Btw, has there been confirmation about the Harris campaign pulling their funds from NC and putting them towards VA? I know a lot of people have talked about it the past few days, and it would be yuge if true.

Dems are way overestimating their own popularity. Even in a scenario where Kamala wins, the map isn’t going to be this blue

This nigga BAITING

The exact same thing happened with Hillary, and you still don’t get it. There’s a colossal difference between insulting your opponent and insulting your opponent’s followers. When someone insults their opponent, the expectation is that the opposition’s followers will reconsider their choice to back their side. When someone insults their opponent’s followers, the expectation is that the opposition’s followers will go “gee whiz, I guess I DO suck! better turn around and support the party that openly hates me instead!”

Fair, because that statement DID NOT help Hillary in winning the election at all, but it does point to fragility of Trump supporters that such a milquetoast remark is enough of a "controversy" among them

He's a race mixing deadbeat dad who served in the Iraq war. Yeah him being a jfk Democrat who suddenly came out of service seeing the sjw craze is probably what made him center right. Bow he's gangstalking critical Drinker and trying to rebrand as some "both sides are bad" thinking it'll get in good graces with marvel or dc.

More retarded takes.

Everytime I see them put Florida as blue I laugh. Desantis crushed his last election there and he has no where near the pull or popularity as Trump.

That Kamablah meme trying to copy Trump's fight fight fight is so digusting I hope the originator is abducted by human traffickers. Bad enough you copy it, then you put it in that corporate memphis NPC style.

Seeing this shit officially makes me MATI like you can't believe. Those fuckers did their best to purge the most defining photograph of this decade and now they're trying to Stalinify it to make it seem like that witless bitch was the one there? I especially fucking note that they took out the American flag too. That shit was absolutely intentional.

...because its a loosing issue for the left every time. It actually is more politically motivating than abortion. Everytime they trot this out the entire country goes into emergency mode and millions of new firearms (and ammunition) get purchased. It is so much more of a line in the sand issue than their venerated abortion.

Turns out that the average citizen can understand the second amendment just fine.

They won't be counted in front of GOP observers. Wait until after 11:00 PM for the vertical Biden ballot surge, just like last time.

That's what copious amounts of caffeine are for.

There is absolutely no way that Texas, Florida, and Iowa all go blue. There is no way that Pennsylvania goes blue without flagrant fraud considering Trump took a bullet for America in Pennsylvania.

If Kamala was really up then polls like this wouldn't matter. Hell, either way who gives a fuck what the French think?

Firearm ignorance among anti-gun activists is pretty telling. They choose to not learn about them willingly. If they get what they want don't be surprised when they paint something with a broad brush a second time.

The entire point of a "assault weapons ban" is to boil the frog into complete firearm ban. The activists themselves say so when they are around their allies. If the point was to actually stop crime or some bullshit they would have focused on handguns, which is also gun grabbing but it at least makes SOME sort of logic.

The point is never to stop crime. The point is because guns make them nervous and anxious on a personal level. The idea of people taking their lives is nothing more than cowardly fear. They hate guns because they can see them. That's why these people aren't afraid of knife attacks, despite being better and more deadly weapons in every capacity due to their stealthy nature. They fear what they see and hate what they fear and the idea of using them to defend themselves will never cross their mind because they've never been in a dangerous situation before.

That's why these anti-gun people are always such cuckolded faggots, they're so infinitely sheltered and have never had to face danger a day in their lives. They unironically think of a robber breaks in, the cops will make it in time to save them. If you ever come across one of these faggots, ask them "Have you ever walked through your own home? How long does it to take to walk through your home?" When they answer, say okay, wait that long, point a finger gun at their head, and go bang.

THIS, the handling of COVID just looked unquestionably bad for Trump (To be fair some of it was just out of his control) and soured a good portion of independent voters against him, I'd argue it's the biggest reason he wasn't re-elected last time.

Fun fact: According to Jared Kushner's book on his time in the White House both him and Trump were constantly wanting to strangle Fauci to death. The reason is that while Trump, Kushner and most people in the White House kept trying to be positive and focus on victories on the fight against Covid Fauci instead would insist on being a pessimist and constantly hype up things getting worse. When confronted about this Fauci claimed it was a case of "being honest so people know things could get bad" but it was obviously sabotage.

Follow-up from yesterday; GOP intervened and will not allow the 168,000 duplicate ballots noted in Michigan yesterday to be counted. Apparently it was "a glitch".

[fedposting using "glitch" as a euphemistic verb omitted for clarity]

Imagine being someone who tags someone, someone who has the decency to not get involved with content they don't enjoy, who sticks to their own Trump lolcow thread, and has the good will to leave the main thread alone, just to rile them up and annoy everyone.

Haha wouldn't it be crazy if that much of a drooling troglodyte existed

That would almost be as funny as being a faggot with a furry pfp.

Politics thankfully doesn't come up much at work, but today I had to overhear three coworkers discuss "that idiot and his stupid garbage truck." "What he (Biden) meant to say was that their words are garbage! I feel bad for him!"

I can usually ignore what vapid twats they are. But now that's echoing in my head and coloring everything they say.

Tbh my mother seemed less enthusiastic about voting for Trump in 2020 compared to now. She didn't agree with the choices he made with covid and lockdowns. Fast forward to today and (this could be because she has made right leaning friends online) she fully backs Trump. Even in 2016 she agreed with a lot of what he said and voted for him back then. 2020 was a very...horrible year imo regardless of how one thinks of covid and the lockdowns.

they planned and executed the pandemic specifically to get donald trump out of office and it worked - it also completely crippled china's international reputation. they've planned these pandemic scenarios for years and suddenly when the "biggest threat to democracy the country has ever seen" happens they come up with a multi-agency contingency plan for the absolute craziest, totalitarian psychological warfare scheme on the population to maximize fear of their neighbors and mistrust in authority if a bioengineered chinese virus escapes containment and causes a pandemic - and then a year later a bioengineered chinese virus escapes containment and causes a pandemic.

i dont think they expected his popularity to survive the pandemic especially after taking credit for the vaccine that everyone seems to point to being some kind of eugenics scheme, accidental or otherwise, but i guess that's teflon don

There's no question that it was sabotage.

Literally everything Fauci says has been proven to be a malicious lie. He's a demon.

Did the book say anything about Pence? Because Pence was appointed as head of the Covid Task Force. I don't doubt that he was part of the sabotage.

The vaccine mandates, get vaccinated or lose your job, did not happen under Trump.

My post was about vaccination in general, not mandates except to the extent that he might've helped his chances a bit by trying to get ahead of the mandate issue as it would've played well to more vaccine skeptic Republicans. The concept of mandates wasn't entirely foreign to politicians the world over at that time, e.g. Australia's then Prime Minister said in August of 2020 that he would like COVID vaccination to be "as mandatory as possible".

I get your point on most people being in favor of the EUA, though I still think he could've shattered the illusion of safety and gotten people to side with him on not allowing something like that to be rushed if he tried. Trump was a shill for these vaccines and thinks of them as an achievement, so there's no way that would've ever happened, but I just wonder how things might've been different.

Given a choice between killing lockdowns and mask mandates or knocking potentially bad vaccines on their head, the former would've had more of an impact since it was actively destroying livelihoods. I wish he had tried to pursue that, rather than letting states do whatever and ruin so many livelihoods in the process.

Another baffling thing from around that time was the Europe Travel Ban. It was put in place in March 2020 and then left untouched even after the virus became completely endemic in the US. I don't think it swayed anyone's vote, but I have to wonder what was going through Trump's head to leave pointless shit like that in place which fucked tourism so hard.

In retrospect I'd say it was a bit unfair to say he failed to read the room on vaccination as his actions didn't have much of an impact, I just think there was a missed opportunity, but I think he really fucked up the handling of COVID in general. He should not have allowed the US to be led down the path of lockdowns and mask mandates. The "not knowing" excuse only works up to a point, I checked my diary and found an entry from March 2020 expressing my relief that COVID isn't that bad. If a retard like me could figure it out, why couldn't he?

I don't disagree with you here, but how did it cripple China's reputation? No one gives them a lick of shit for COVID. The WHO ran defense for China the whole pandemic.

Why the fuck do people think Florida is going blue? DeSantes bent the knee to Trump and he did a great job with Milton. The state is safely Republican due to that and being a beacon during Covid.
