Joe Manchin would be a strong contender, but IIRC he has stated he isn't interested.

Maybe Michelle Obama would have a chance also, especially if she had a good running mate. (Manchin?) Putting aside the trans allegations, the Obama name still has a somewhat positive connotation to many normies and she can play the Obama card, the black card, and the (alleged) woman card.
Obama burnt a lot of his political capital and good will helping Joe. His name means as much as Clinton's now.

They’re doing that on my end, too. I legit refreshed the page multiple times to watch if he was going to edit it to a new message before I said anything

We’re at 21 minutes

I've been suffering from that bug for months. If I start to type something and decide not to post it stays in the reply box forever no matter how many time the page is refreshed after deleting it. The only fix I've found is to delete it all out, click the Post Reply button and then get the error about posting a blank message. Then it doesn't come back

Edit: sigh

That's why I went out of my way to viciously attack them when the thread was created. What they do is a form of "concern trolling". Concern trolling is a very effective way to demoralize a group of people. Having "allies" show worry and concern makes people feel worried or concerned too; consensus is part of assessing optimism and success.

Concern trolling works so well because it seems indistinguishable from real concerns by actual allies. One way to deal with it is to mock their feigned concern (e.g. "Bad things might happen! Ignore anything good ever happening! Bad person did something good—still bad! Small good thing done—bad, didn't fix the whole problem!"). You can run down the flowchart of possible futures; which often reveals they think a positive outcome is impossible. You can ask them for realistic solutions and fallback plans. You can just bluntly tell them they are being a whiny faggot (depending on the group and context).

Concern trolling is one of the main ways 4chan has been destroyed by shills and bots. Endless infighting about how nothing will ever get better. 4chan's culture of being contrarian makes concern trolling easier. The site owner faciliting the concern trolling dooms 4chan to being a demoralization tarpit.

Authentic negative criticism has remedies, alternatives, fallbacks, and personal preferences. Concern trolls avoid seeing anything positive like a vampire avoids a cross.
Same problem on X, esp alt right on there, most notably Owens and Ian Carroll

trump is a jew, epsteins list isnt out yet, RFK jr is being blackmailed by israel so MAHA wont happen and she'll show evidence eventually

the groyper/owens right is dedicated to proving that nothing ever happens and everything is a jewish psyop

Good point, I forgot about the Joe (and Kamala) campaigning.

I still think Manchin would hypothetically be their best shot since he actually knows how to win over red and centrist voters, and mostly stayed away from the whole Biden/Kamala dumpster fire.

God I fucking hate it when people line up and say “Andrew Tate is persecuted for talking about how mistreated young men are.”

That shit fucking glows like the Chernobyl elephant foot

It's always a brown person, White people are the least likely to fall for Tate's bullshit. America is going through a stage where underprivileged black/hispanic teenagers raised on Ipads are getting their morality from nigger culture that promises them the world.
 
Blacks are above the law, I am convinced that a black teenager could rape a Childs corpse and he would still get off Scott freeView attachment 7220527
I wonder if the judge checked his fundraiser before lowering the bail to something that would fit with room to hire an attorney

@Catch The Rainbow absolutely. And that probably amps them up to rob stores and push people on subway tracks and all that
 
I think you are way over selling her love of Joe, but she was definitely indebted. She didn't criticize him because she was tied to the hip with him. She was picked to be his VP after getting dead last in the primaries and when he stepped down he passed the baton to her, so she can't really attack her own source of legitimacy. I think her not attacking Joe was the right move, and she tried her best to distance herself away from him and his policy. Kamala's main problems wasn't Biden, but she was a lazy VP who has no charisma, no policy, same canned speeches, and let Trump run circles around her in both amounts of rallies and also dominated podcast circuit which completely changed the game of elections.
I'm honestly REALLY bummed that the Rogan interview fell through, because she was making staffers pull their hair out trying to deliver her talking points naturally in sympathetic settings, and apparently the campaign had caved on giving Joe control of the discussion topics. The book claims they had coached Kamala to try and be more off the cuff, but her her aides were feeling cheated when the Trump appearance on Rogan's show dropped the morning before her rally.
I'm not sure how much I believe that, it sounds like them trying to put blame on Rogan for why she didn't show up there, but I do know that any discussion between them would have been cringe incarnate.
 
I have a friend who exclusively gets his news from /pol/
Does he notice the blatant 100% copy/paste repeated threads filled with recycled comments? Does he notice when a thread gets inundated with off-topic bot spam to fill it up with garbage? Witnessed a jannie delete a thread or move it to /bant/? Ever seen a bot malfunction? Has he ever wondered why /uhg/ and /chug/ exist, but general threads about improvement or researching a topic get nuked?
 
a interesting question is who could the dems have run to have a chance to beat trump? shapiro? gavin?
Shapiro probably had/has the best shot. I'm incredibly doubtful about a Newsom Presidential Campaign, given how you could just run an attack campaign of "Gavin Newsom wants to make America just like California" set to footage of San Francisco.

Aside from that, I'm at the point where I'm pretty sure that Women (or at the very least Democrat Women) are poison for Presidential campaigns. All of them fall under the exact same umbrella of "imagine if your Middle School Principal was in charge of the most powerful country" that makes them intolerable for young men. Whitmer and AOC would/will fail for that reason, just like Kamala and Hillary did.

I had the radio on today in my car while running errands, and a station I listen to had a bit on where they had a woman talking about having an abortion when getting pregnant out of wedlock when she was young. She started sobbing during telling her story. I felt very uneasy and horrid listening to it, like I was either going to get sick or pass out listening to it.

In nature, a mother bird will even sacrifice her life to prevent her eggs from being scathed in a forest fire. Meanwhile, a human woman will end her unborn child's life since she sees it as an inconvenience to her hedonistic lifestyle. Abortion is completely unnatural, and yet Feminist types love it and act like they are never ever regretted ever.
 
Double post glitch. The site is messy since the last update, a lot of people are getting it. Thanks for telling me though, I still had time to delete the second post.
Just glad you’re not a Chinese cia bot, dude

@Candlelight Desolation re:abortskies
The part I find fucked up is how the planned parenthood people tell girls that when they take the first pill and regret kicks in, it’s too late to do anything

And sometimes there will be a nun or other sympathetic lady outside just to say “they were lying to you. All you need is to take an oral progesterone supplement.”

But the lady in planned parenthood will warn the girl that the other lady is outside to get in front of it, and to make up a bunch of shit about how supplemental progesterone won’t help anything and your baby is definitely already dead, while you’ll actually have quite a while to sit and suffer over the fact that you now realize your baby is dying inside of you

Planned Parenthood staff are literally evil. Like I believe evil actually exists in part because they exist
