Took Wednesday off and have my election snacks ready. Gonna munch on an adobada burritos with chips and guacamole along side a nice red roasted salsa.

She was on board for almost all of that, her only regret is that they got found out.
Lewinsky isn't some victim of workplace harassment so much as an active participant in all of it who's sour it got made public.

That's when the whole "A woman fucking her boss is actually a victim!" started. Everyone was like "Poor little Monica Lewinsky taken advantage of by big bad Bill Clinton." (I have no sympathy for Bill Clinton either though.)

2020 has got my expectations so low that I'm going in with the mindset that she's gonna win. I'm not even trying to be a doomer either it's just hard for me to actually be hopeful or optimistic about this shit. On paper this should be a easy win for Trump but so was 2020 and we all know how that shit ended. At this point it's easier to go in with the bar set low and if he does lose, I'm just gonna not bother looking at any news or social media shit for a few months because the worst shit is dealing with all the fucking sumg retards on twitter. Anyway I still want him to win but it's just hard for me to fully think he will.

There's a lot of whining about women voters and blaming them for not voting Republican, but in 2020, in Pennsylvania Trump gained voters among women, and lost men. In fact men were the only group that he got less than 2016 for Pennsylvania.

Yeah, I wish more people didn't fall into the gender war trappings that democrat leadership try to push. They love a platform of divisiveness, whether it be generational, parents vs children, man vs woman, white vs black, etc. so when Kamala starts cackling about how she's going to be a president for the people, spare me empty platitudes.

I do like speculating what a Kamala win would look like and what it would entail, I don't think it's necessarily doomposting.

Especially with the rise in conflicts that we are having, how are the people going to respond if there is a draft after getting their election stolen again, and basically going back to being checked out of society?

If there was a way to simulate it, I'd be all over it, I know there are countries that can give you an idea of what it would look like but I'm still curious as to how the case would be in the US.

Wow, excellent point I never even thought of. An actual draft for the empire's fraudulent wars after another stolen election could be explosive. I have all daughters and now that they want females drafted if any of them were in fact drafted I could see myself using ... Ill be careful here ... unfriendly measures to protect them from this. I can see many others feeling the same way.

I bet she knows in the back of her hand that she was a one night stand for a prominent political figure that quickly went down South. She'll have to live with that for the rest of her natural life, while she develops Stockholm Syndrome for the establishment that protected her accuser.

Monica Lewinski got a raw deal out of all that. How many 22yo women in her position as an intern turns down a proposition from the most powerful man in the world? Zero, that's how many. Not many men would turn it down either.

It's the socially conservative cause du jour and we're in the beginnings of a socially conservative backlash to the rainbow nonsense going on at the moment.
But women care for nothing more than the ability to have consequence-free sex (see: last 50 years of history), and nothing will rile up the cat ladies of the world more than the GOP actually trying to illegalize abortion instead of just kicking it to the states. Hell, even just localizing the issue turned abortion into an alarming amount of women's #1 issue on the ballot motivating their vote.

I think the fact that "anti-woke" has become an industry in itself is proof that we're nowhere near the beginnings of socially conservative backlash to rainbow nonsense. We seem to be somewhere in the middle (or if you are cynical, perhaps even near the very end) of it. We can't seriously treat anti-woke as some small or freshly flourishing thing when Joe Rogan has more viewers than basically any major news outlet, Elon Musk uses Twitter as his personal /pol/ blog and the name of the game is grifting the right-wing, be it for podcast views or gun accessories or something.

It's also worth mentioning that a majority of anti-woke conservatives who openly express their views often have some view akin to "Well if they keep it in the bedroom it's fine, just don't force it onto me" when that's kind of missing the point. A societal sickness doesn't go away if everyone is still just doing it behind closed doors. The notion that today's conservatives are just yesterday's liberals really hasn't been proven wrong, and if the pressure release valve is sufficient then I see no reason why conservatives who want a total abortion ban would ever gain prominence. It seems more likely that the same thing as always will happen.
  1. Small group of people has something to say about an issue.
  2. Small group of people begin to make themselves heard. This is a threat because maybe they are persuasive somehow.
  3. Small group of people are plastered with Richard Spencers and Nick Fuenteses, who are comped and make the small group look stupid.
  4. Small group of people bleed actual members, because at this point it's nothing but feds and kooks.
  5. Small group is fully controlled. They are paraded out to convince people to vote for the establishment candidate, who promises to kick back against the small group (who is portrayed as a big group.)
All of this happens, and at no point does anyone address the actual issue of why anyone would want abortions to begin with.

Differences between 2020 and now-

- No coof
- No rioting
- 4 years of the shittiest economic policies imaginable are making living impossible for some people
- Everyone expects cheating now, in 2020 if you claimed it you were a conspiracy theorist; in 2024 they've already caught multiple people trying to rig
- Trump has the strongest momentum he's ever had
- He is against the literal worst candidate, possibly in history, the Democrats have ever run, as opposed to a well known name like Joe Biden
- Twitter is not running interference on people talking about how scummy the Dems are being
- Because of Twitter being free speech capable now, the media can't censor obvious facts like illegal immigration disasters and attempted rigging like they could in 2020

Im sure there's more and you should vote like we're 10k behind no matter what, but there's plenty of reasons to be hopeful compared to 2020

Not voting as a concept makes sense but in reality it has the potential to backfire especially in high stake situations. It can be akin to a pacifist standing back firm and proud in their principles as the world around them is destroyed or reshaped by those willing to go as far as possible in order to achieve their goals. Anyone is free to not go to the ballot box during an election that is their choice but always remember if you don't politically speak up in how society should be run someone else will be happy to do it for you.

Like I was saying earlier, I think it makes sense in context but for this election the opportunity to do so has passed. It would make more sense to throw a vote at Trump a final time and then organize a mass no vote campaign in 2028 assuming any resistance is left and the uniparty is in full control.

Also there would have to be some real tangible goal coming out of it, like, if voter turnout is lower than a certain percentage, then it will cause diplomatic issues for the US. Or, if people in mass don't vote, they then in an organized mass claim this means they are no longer following the social contract. Something like these anyway.
