Oh that is 100% not what he is, being a rich fat capitalist requires you to have a real set of balls. Consider this..did you hear him at all argue with any passion for capitalism? for conservatism? For any sort of Traditionalism?


Oh he would have, but outside of one Tax cut..exactly what did Bush accomplish for his base?

Hmm, other than the 47 percent and binders of women soundbites, nothing else really. I remember that was the year FEC vs Citizens United happened and Romney was getting big bucks from Wall Street and outraised Obama IIRC. The man was an empty shell who believed illegal aliens should self deport. And he passed Obamacare at the state level. Yeah nothing of value from him.

Bush I guess let the AWB expire and since then, it will be uber hard for the democrats to try getting another passed into law.

Hmm, other than the 47 percent

Mind you he wasn't wholly wrong there, we have 50% of California taxes being paid by the top .5% right now. Not that it matters since there is no way in hell he would have proposed a Flat Tax which is the only way everyone Rich and Poor pay their actual fair share (whatever you define that to be)

binders of women soundbites

and what did that have to do with any policy? The "Binders full of women" thing was a response to the media calling him a "Dirty Sexist who didn't ever hire women." and like the ball-less wonder he was he completely folded to the attack.

Romney was getting big bucks from Wall Street

New Trafalgar Poll

note that while it has a reputation for being somewhat R favored, it actually UNDERESTIMATED Republican performance at times. In 2018 Ohio Gubernatorial they said democrat Cordray+4 when repub Mike DeWine won by +3. In 2018 Michigan Senate they had democrat Stabenow+9 while she only won by +7.

I haven't actually verified these numbers, mostly because I'm too lazy, but I saw a Twitter thread saying Biden was underperforming Clinton in some of the big swing states in the RCP average. This is what they posted:

Wisconsin:
Aug 2016: Clinton +9
Aug 2020: Biden +6.5

Michigan:
Aug 2016: Clinton +8.5
Aug 2020: Biden +6.7

Pennsylvania:
Aug 2016: Clinton +9
Aug 2020: Biden +6.7

Everything has to be pop culture with these people.

So what's the end game with biden, is he going to get elected then literally have a more radical branch of lefties shove their hand up their ass and make policies while he's literally a puppet?

And of course all this polling can't really take into account differences in turnout, which often decides things.

I think he's supposed to get in and then let Kamala take over and preserve the neoliberal Clinton-Obama style corporate Democrats.

Kamala Harris will play the IdPol game to get whatever votes and favors she can but she's very much not a fan of The Squad or the wider Woke Left. She's a hardcore neoliberal corporatist.

If the Dems win, Biden will likely step down for health reasons and Kamala takes over from there.

If the Dems lose, a Biden loss will do the least damage to them down ballot.

>Kamala reminded us of how unfair the justice system is to young minorities.

Someone didn't think this through.

Can Confirm, Conservatives looked at that and said "This is the best we can do? The Third String guy after Bush and McCain? MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH"

This is why McCain and Romney are so fucking butthurt over Trump, The voter base got tired of Neocons who cucked out at every chance.

I voted for Obama that year and part of the reason for me was that he looked like a soulless white materialist dull basic moneyman. Like he was like the guys from American Psycho who only cared solely for money and also a cold war cuck fear mongering about Russia. Obama took mercy on him in the first debate and then got fucked hard in the 2nd and 3rd debates.

I will look to see what people thought of Bernie's speech at the DNC to see if he had at least 80 percent average approval and if he did then the DNC shot their own cock off basically in 2016. Bernie in 2016 for all the zoomers here wasn't the same thing you see in 2020. More similar to Trump back then.

2012 was the Establishment's dream election cycle: two neoliberal schmucks that are just different enough to create the illusion of choice for the unwashed masses.

there was zero plan that didn't involve crashing the economy and unemployment short of just not doing anything and letting the virus kill people off and flood hospitals.

There actually are. Here is an example:

1. Create social distancing and mask protocols without making them government enforced mandates

2. Don't shut down the the economy. Surely people can be trusted to (for the most part) stay six feet away from each other at work.

3. Tell the immunocompromised and those with weak immune systems (for whatever reason) to stay home.

4. Don't shove sick old people into nursing homes.

Your plan involves people cooperating. You have a lot more faith in humanity than you should.

So it does. Getting the government to *force* people to cooperate is frankly just overreach that doesn't work anyway, as we've seen already.

It was shockingly blatant during the 3rd debate, over foreign policy. There were literally segments where they were arguing for the same position, or quibbling over such miniscule degrees of difference in the same overall strategy, the fake opposition was too much for me to handle. The night of that debate is more or less when I officially left the Democrat party.

American democrats built the prison industrial complex from the ground up lol. Most uneducated people think it was Reagan's gang who started mass incarceration (even in that Killer Mike song). Surprisingly no. It didn't start until the mid 1990's.

I believe you are not reading between the lines that it was the first time I voted and mostly voted on the feels or whatever the media and Jon Stewart said, I wasn't much into policy back then as I am into now. I mostly watched a lot of CNN and Jon Stewart back then along with TYT once in a while.

 

[Meat Target]

I need to know more about this please.

Democrats passed the '94 Crime Bill in the wake of some major Happenings like like Rodney King, Waco, and "going postal" shootings.

The '90s Dems had more conservative policies than we give them credit for. They saw Reagan's popularity, and said, "hey, we can do what he did, but we can do it better".

That's explain why a convicted murder and rapist speak at the DNC. https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2020/08/convicted_murderer_and_rapist_speaks_at_dnc.html http://archive.vn/B3BI6

Convicted murderer and rapist speaks at DNC
By Grant Baker

• · Democrat activist and mega donor Ed Buck infamously managed to maintain good standing in various Democratic groups despite a succession of gay black homeless men dying of forced drug overdoses in his West Hollywood home until Buck was charged with various sexual and drug crimes by a federal prosecutor.
• · The morning of Bill Clinton’s DNC speech, pictures surfaced of the former president receiving sensual massages by a victim of deceased pedophile and rapist Jeffrey Epstein during a trip on Epstein’s private jet dubbed “Lolita Express”.
• · Joe Biden himself has been accused of sexual assault by Tara Reade, a former staff assistant who worked for Biden during his time in the Senate.

Before receiving accolades for her work as an “impactful community leader,” Donna Hylton and her gang of prostitutes had drugged real estate broker Thomas Vigliarolo, brought him to their Harlem apartment, and subjected him to a three week torture session which included starvation, beatings, burnings, and various forms of sexual torture leading to a gruesome murder. Hylton had raped Vigliarolo with a three-foot metal rod, later laughing it off, quipping “he was a homo anyway.” Hylton had demanded ransom from the victim’s friend, planning on spending her cut on professional photos to launch a career in modeling. She was paroled in 2012, having served 26 years in prison.
Out of prison, Donna Hylton quickly found work as a Democrat activist, joining the Coalition for Women Prisoners and advocating for the early release of convicted prisoners, specifically women and minorities. She was a featured speaker at the January 2017 Women’s March and made an appearance on CGTN, China’s English language propaganda state media channel, during which she complained that women like her were vilified due to their race and gender:

The majority of prisons and jail are crowded with black and brown women because of their dehumanization. We are criminalized for our color; we are criminalized and sexualized.

There was no mention of her rape and murder crimes.
The activism industry pays well apparently. After landing a book deal for her memoir, a movie deal is in the works, though it is unclear how far along it is.

 

[King Daddy Telomerase]

I would like to say after trying to find more videos. Mitt Romney was one very, very, super shit candidate with no enthusiasm at all.

Indeed. It's very strange to me that in 1996, 2004, 2012 and 2020, where there's incumbents with dodgy approval ratings that were beatable (Clinton was low early in '96 still), the opposing party nominates the most unenthusiastic people possible. Like this game is all rigged...
