So Pence abruptly canceled an appearance in NH and rushed back to DC. Strongest theory I've seen so far is that the Russian "research vessel" is actually a nuclear submarine, and when one of those has an accident its all hands on deck to monitor the situation across the nuclear powers.
It appears Pennsylvania has actual brain-damaged apes elected to office: ....what. The fuck. Was that?
This was in the Pennsylvania General Assembly, the same body that so egregiously gerrymandered the state in favor of Republicans after the 2010 census that the Pennsylvania Supreme Court struck it down as a violation of the state constitution. They can suck a fat dick.
Best YouTube comment I've seen on that video "Ironic to hear a Republican say "Mr. President you need to follow the rules"
That is the most crybaby and petulant thing I’ve ever seen. Is this fucking nimrod just TRYING to be the biggest heat bag on earth? Why aren’t people making an example of him?
I'm legit curious about her. You're right, she seems well-rounded. I'm curious if she's just too centrist to get a word in edgewise to the torrent of dumb still going? She's young too, maybe inexperience is a factor? She's the first candidate I've seen that actually made me go "Fuck, yeah I would vote for her."
She seems too much like a Blue Dog democrat to gain any traction in today's democratic environment. The pervasive tribal "Im tired of having to compromise with people I disagree with" has made someone like her a marginal player at best.
If she somehow became the nominee, I would vote for her in a second. The Democrats cant keep playing the Go-for-Woke game and still appeal to independents. Meanwhile, just as much attention has been paid to AOC yelling and crying at an empty parking lot. This isnt going well for them.
I think it's fine to keep it broader at this point in the campaign. As soon as she gets very specific, opponents will pick it apart.
That’s because the DNC turned into Portland over the last three years. There is no group these days that will admit the well is poisoned. They knowingly, and willingly, dig their own grave because they’d rather lose than challenge their core beliefs. An opinion is the absolutely lowest form of human research and that is what these knobs value most. It’s honestly no different than dealing with junkies.
Well they already disposed of their core voters for over half a century and decided they were deplorable, so its not surprising that they wont admit the momentum has been going in the wrong direction.
As far as social media voices they are certainly cut from the same cloth. Using it very effectively to communicate to their rabid supporters.
I've had a few Democrat friends jump down my throat lately because I tried explaining how self destructive this "blue no matter who" nonsense is to their party, and how that kind of thinking is how they failed to produce a candidate that could beat a reality TV host. Then I was accused of being a Trump supporter, even though I was easily the biggest liberal in the group. When I mentioned that Tulsi was currently my top pick, my friend said "Yeah, I like her, but she's not an electable candidate." He thought Joe Biden was a better choice. Yes, that's what the masses want. Another establishment tool. Just like the last time, and that went swimmingly.
I think what a lot of left leaning people who are super far left fail to realize is that Twitter is not real life. Yes real people say shit on Twitter, but I don’t see people in real life talk to each other or engage in crazy group think the way they do on twitter or other social media platforms. Looking at the polling on the news of the current democratic candidates versus what social media says is why Warren leads online but Biden leads on tv. The candidates have to figure out which crowd to appeal to.
Biden is certainly at the bottom of my list of candidates I want to see come out of the Democratic primary, but "blue no matter who" in the general makes sense because it is literally impossible for the Democrats to nominate a candidate worse than Trump. You could literally throw every Democratic House Rep, Senator, Governor, Mayor, and State Rep into a bag and draw a name at random and they would be a better choice than Trump. The primary is for deciding which of those myriad choices is the best, and sadly my boy Jay Inslee is polling somewhere South of Antarctica.
