I get it, I really do. It's a lesser of 2 evils situation, but that's usually how it is. And to me the trooning covid communist is more evil than the pajeet in this case. I'm not really bashing you about it, I just think reality says she'll be quite a bit worse. Neither sets a good precedent.
"Vote for me and let me import a billion Indians or the Communist will import two billion Venezuelans and Haitians" is not a paradigm I want to live by, and the only way to reject that paradigm is to reject Vivek. Yeet the jeet by any means necessary.
 
Zohran is going to run out of money. The NYC deficit for FY2026 is $12 billion. Now a large portion of that could be rectified if they cracked down on fraud, but its being used to buy votes. Trump won't give them any bailout money unless they stop said fraud otherwise Mamdamis finished if he wasn't already. Time for them to learn the hard way.
One of the reasons I was not worried about Mamdami being the harbinger of some revolution is how fucked NYC has been since De Blasio. Bloomberg was a fag and all but he was semi-competent.

Zohran is going to be the modern Dinkins.
 
It'll start the road to banning guns, ICE, and all that and you should know it. hmm. Do I vote for the guy that's annoying and might be bad, or the one that's guaranteed and comes out says they're a far leftwing communist that'll certainly fuck me in the ass constantly. I can't believe people are so petty sometimes.
Saar, have you not dealt with Indians before? Maybe the Democrat lady could win by doing nothing. It doesn’t help that Ohio is stuck between a rock and a hard place. That’s democracy.
 
Primary season is heating up, and if your state has early voting, it's likely starting very soon. If you're registered to vote as a Republican the time to primary is now.
 
I ve lived a weird version of this

I was with a woman who was 16 years older than me. She had 3 kids they lived with dad. People would ask if she was loose.

It wasn't healthy. There were boundary issues. Worse I was socialized with feminism lite. Meaning my coping mechanism was conflict adverse.

Her 2.5 husband's cheated on her she had heavy problems and expected me to betray her.

One take away from the experience was when she went crazy she was aware of what she was doing. She also played drama games that were benith her age. When I reflect on the situation I feel like I was soo fucking naive.
Women that chase younger men often are mentally and emotionally deficient or having issues about aging.
This interesting because I know people who have old unused floppy disks and nobody seems to want to reuse or recycle them.
I bet a bunch of boomers have some that aren’t being used.
As moderate politicians retire, die, or get voted out of office, they're replaced by younger politicians who have been taught compromise is a dirty four letter word with political polarization being the new name of the game. It's a far cry from the days when political moderates from either big party knew which of their political opponents were like-minded enough to be willing to seek some sort of middle ground when it came to passing contentious legislation. Now, refusal to follow the most extreme party positions is enough to be effectively blackballed from politics. As such, @Breadbassket is right that the polarization isn't going away any time soon and it would take a long time for moderation to return again even if politicians started to slowly embrace it today.
The left basically forces you to be more extreme because it’s like the prisoner dilemma. If they cry too much, cheat too much, use as much force as possible, if they complain too much, and you don’t, you’ll lose more ground than they do. They do it because it was effective and gained them a lot of ground. They like canceling because it’s a good way for them to move up socially and remove enemies. They like labeling all their enemies as extremists because it gives them cart Blanche to do what they want. So they changed the meta and unfortunately it’s either adapt or lose.

except without a seinfeld episode to massively boost his opponent's polling with a joke episode about a blood test and frozen yogurt.
 
I just had a friend of mine crash out at me over the Epstein Files thinking EVERYTHING in them is real (you know, nevermind the four innocent men Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna just smeared as being rich pedophiles, and they still haven't apologized to them, btw). Dude went full Alex Jones "HULK SMASH" on me, and I had no choice but to end the conversation, because he couldn't see how much of a retard he was behaving. Most of what the media concentrates on is DESIGNED to make you angry, and the fact that he didn't understand that seems just... wild to me. Apparently, according to him, I'm "coping", because I don't trust anything in the Epstein Files is largely real due to how much information is actually in them and nevermind the fact that this bullshit has been in government hands since Obama, so the lot of you will forgive me if I actually DON'T TRUST this fucking list.
The chain of custody on it is fucked. People act like there isn't a reason to put your enemy's name on it or remove a friend's name. Plus, there's stuff like stupid people claiming they saw a 900 foot Jesus in Tulsa Oklahoma and shit like that, with "Not Credible" in the FBI findings that they just ignore that part and start going on about a 900 foot Jesus.

One thing that really hurt the housing market, even more than Boomers holding onto the houses they bought in the 1960's, is house flippers and property management companies. I watched a house across the street in one place I lived go from $30K<House Flipper paints it<$50K<House flipper tears out rose bushes and paints garage<100K<House Flipper changes fake wood floor<150K<House Flipper puts in cheap cabinets<$200K in one fucking year.

The property management companies are just fucking terrible. John L Scott on the West Coast is the worst thing to happen to renting ever.
 
we're all fucked and im probably going to move to sakhalin, fuck the rest of you.
Thats ok, give it 15 years and the national debt is going to be too much to handle and we'll be living in Weimar and we'll all kill eachother. The pain will be over soon.

nah that is a non issue in the grand scheme of things. flippers, developers and resellers generally increase market efficiency, they do not impact the overall supply and demand situation that determines market prices in aggregate.

at the end of the day the home price problem in america (and the rest of the west too) is just down to too many potential buyers in a market where supply can not grow very fast due to the nature of the asset in question. land is limited, land in areas where people want to live is even more limited. laws and regulations (zoning laws, building codes, rent controls) can make this even worse, but the central problem is simply one of too many fucking people all wanting to move to the same places.

tl;dr the solution to inflated housing costs is the same as to many other problems of our time: deportations and remigration. there is no other way to really make a significant impact on the fundamental imbalance between supply and demand that causes prices to spiral out of control.
 
After being forced to ride on a train full of "New Germans", Hillary is now saying that migration went too far:

The Democrats saw that you can run as a pretend moderate like Spanberger, win, then immediately pass whatever leftist bullshit you want and gerrymander so the Republicans have to fight a decade long battle to have even a chance of regaining ground.

This is their new strat, this is why Obama was saying the same thing at around the same time and why AOC is saying "whiteness doesn't exist, but French and Englishness does and should be celebrated".

They're going to run as the centrist, rational, moderate party and (continue to) paint Trump's ICE operations as Nazi esque fascism, only now they're going to pretend they're against illegal immigration and want to solve the problem in a sensible, humane way... Until they get in and they open the borders again.

I'm wondering if the recent "no one's illegal on stolen land" push will be enough to cause a schism where parts of the voter base won't turn out because the suggestion of any border security is akin to voting for Orange Cheeto Hitler or whatever.

because white people are fucking retards. if a civil war broke out right now, it would be 90% of blacks, 75% of mexicans, and 50% of whites on team "kill whitey". that's how fucking stupid white people are. really the hardest thing to come to terms with is how much white people deserve being slaughtered like animals.

A whopping 2%. If you thought Epstein sunk the base, you were being played by a Twitter demoralization op.
yeah, that's why you'll see me call anyone who comes into the thread to whine about muh epstein list a demoralization agent. they are not representative of the base, or any group that makes up any significant amount of power or voting. it's a desperate, arm-flailing attempt to get right-leaning and right-wing people to simply give up by convincing them that it's already too late. the kind of tactic only taken by an utterly terrified group.

what better solution than samuel colt and john browning helping us enact natural selection when the war kicks off? 50% of whites joining team kill whitey should mean that once we're finished, team Support Whitey is even better off.
