It would be a massive own goal cause Vance looks like the type that would get the most bloodthirsty AG he could find.

Not even for himself but to protect his young children.

I want Vance to be elected President in 2028 so bad.

Everyone praising Clinton as some kind of pragmatic Democrat didn't live through the era. That rat bastard sold us out to the EU and China every chance he got, and turned the diplomatic opportunity of a millennium, the dissolution of the USSR, into nothing more than a cash grab for himself and his buddies. He was a piece of shit, through and through, and is fondly remembered solely because falling interest rates and the dot-com boom fueled a period of economic good times.

So much this. He also gave us Madeline (Half)bright, who would later say that the death of half a million Iraqi children was an acceptable price to pay for what America was doing to Iraq (and that was before the post-9-11 Iraq War).

And to give some truth to the "Uniparty" meme, Clinton gave us NAFTA, the same uneven, job-stealing trade deal that Bush 41 was going to give us. (May God bless Ross Perot for speaking out against that and for, FWIW, making Clinton a plurality vote only president).

Christ but these people are so fickle.

They were simping for AoC/Walz 2028 less than 24 hours ago because they are doing some speaking tour or something and now they've already moved onto this rando.

Zero actual principles.

They basically operate like a hivemind, except delayed enough that it can lead to funny results.
Ever since Biden getting yeeted and replaced with Kamala, it's been obvious most support is dictated from on high, and then distributed to the masses with the expectation of absolute loyalty to the new chosen one.

You had people like Harry Sisson screaming, "I would never support the dethroning of Joe Biden. He's my only candidate" to "yaaas Kamala slay" within not even 12 hours.
Their principles are "I will do everything necessary and support whatever reprobate is dictated so long as my team keeps control." It's lunacy.

I have no proof what so ever to back up this claim. But i feel like metal gear solid fried thier brains a little too much to come up with these. They are having a whole movie being played in thier heads.

If its that easy, well, allow me to plant myself in thier office and do a little trolling from the inside

 

[Sweeter and Savoury]

Rassie emerges from his post election hibernation period to break down the destruction of the Democrat Party for us. I can't help but notice the glee in his voice as he reads out the polling numbers for the Dems as they self-immolate.

best quote " wow, it seems that Democrat voters hate the Democrat Party"

It's nothing we didn't already know but it's nice to have actual numbers to back up what we are seeing.

 

[The Last Stand]

I hate how the government "invested" itself into higher education through predatory loans with these institutions willingly allowing these providers to prey on misinformed students. I hate colleges bloating themselves with useless degrees that undervalue the aspect of education itself. Dishonorable mention to Trump for not following through on existing payment plans FOR student loans prior to his presidency.

I see why our education ranking in the US ranks very low compared to the rest of the world. We're not educating anybody anymore, just brainwashing students.

Schools don’t wanna actually teach kids anything useful anymore. Instead of finance we have to teach about ART and MUSIC and LITERATURE. My god, this is what happens when education is designed for women. What a bunch of fucking children.

My teacher went into explicit detail about a Nazi experiment where they put glass into jewmens dicks and then brought out a hot naked jewess to make their weniers hard which would break the glass in their dicks.

I heard exactly the same torture story, but it was NKVD instead of Nazis. Probably another urban legend.

We’re not even teaching those things properly.

The problem is that you can't directly leverage that with money, offering cash to universities just engenders fraud. The real problem is that they want a bunch of compliant low-IQ niggercattle, or maybe East Asian bugmen, these types of people do not produce good science. Only free men of White stock are capable of scientific innovation.

You mean having a course of Beyonce isn't educational?

I'm not against learning about fine arts. It's that the fine arts themselves are being corrupted WITH current politics.

 

[Soycast Guy]

Yup. Schools don’t teach kids how to make beautiful art, just ugly modern art. They don’t teach kids how to make beautiful classical music, just nigger rap music. They don’t have kids read actual useful books like The Art of War, but instead they are force fed Ibram X Kendi.

The art of war is like 70 pages lol

Edit: it also lacks contextual information that would make it relevant. That's a retarded suggestion.

 

[Hey Johnny Bravo]

Zero actual principles.

It was the same in 2020 with people flocking from Buttegieg, to Klobuchar, to Mark Kelly, to Kamala, to Biden, and so on. They are glomping onto anything.

Mark Kelly is a contender in many respects: he's a former astronaut, he has connections to the Chocolate Messiah, and his wife is Gabby Giffords. He's been floating presidential runs for at least 10 years now and has some name recognition. However, he has 3 problems: he's a white male, he is against semi-auto rifles (which is no longer a winning issue after proglibs armed themselves post-2016 and got redpilled about guns), and he has a temper. Kelly is easily put on tilt and does a lot of theater kid performative shit. I don't think he'd perform well in a debate with someone like JD Vance, who stays calm under pressure and doesn't back down. Kelly has basically been insulated in Arizona and I don't think he has any idea how Republicans actually think since his ideas of Republicans are stuck in the John McCain-Obama era.

Hey, the Art Of War sperging was LAST week, pal, might as well be playing the beloved childhood game of "how many marbles can fit up your ass" with that slowpoke shit

I really think if they'd gone with Kelly as VP they probably could've had a good shot at Arizona, but wouldn't have helped much anywhere else. Walz was the absolute worst I can imagine and only one that would do it probably. I'm glad they've been getting that sad sack of shit out in the news while Harris is only doing the occasional drunken word salads in small venues.

 

[PointOfNoReturnPoint]

it's been obvious most support is dictated from on high, and then distributed to the masses with the expectation of absolute loyalty to the new chosen one.

They have a term for this, it's called "correct opinion". The hivemind you mention has to have that as their genesis idea so that they can all operate on the same page and be cohesive until they cant.

Imagine the president himself sending you a letter asking "what do you actually do here".
