That one year made a huge difference, I guess.

Who cares how old they are as long as they have the right positions on the issues and a sound mind? I love having people with some wisdom in there.

Get Gavin Newsom in there. If there is someone better than he is for this role, put them in there. For the love of god, I hope they don’t end up with Kamala though. She’s going to have the same problem as Hillary only more so.

But Biden’s numbers are just not looking good. His performance is already being used in campaign ads. I just don’t know how he wins in 2024.

It only applies to non-xtians, brown people, and liberals.

This country is so fucked. Much of the culture is checked out; a lot of the left/liberal movement seem to be up its own asshole in goofy pandering that seems designed to only churn out more donnie voters, and the cons are making plans, and basically announcing them to everyone.

Also, I’ll vote Biden no matter what this fall, but the Democratic Party had better seriously consider removing him and selecting someone else. Otherwise, Biden’s chief legacy that is actually remembered will be helping to enable the dismantling of this country by being so egotistical as to think he’s the only one that could beat donnie in 2024.

You are getting downvoted, but I have seen a bit of this myself and I understand why people would really start to resent this kind of thing. I grew up dirt poor, but I get a lot of messaging about how I should “check my privilege” from people much further up the economic ladder than I am now and certainly where I came from. I used to shrug off this ignorance based on racism, but it’s become more prevalent and definitely more strident. I’m to shut up entirely and listen to others merely and only because of demographics? No, I’m not having it. That’s about as bigoted as it gets.

I don’t think the answer is to vote for a terrorist like donnie or demons like any Republican politician. I really don’t know what the answer is. I just don’t think that some of the people pushing extremely racist things while supposedly under the banner of equity even have any clue just how many Republicans they are probably creating. When you go around preaching at people, and telling them they are the source of so many problems and they need to just listen at all times to a certain set of self-selected demographics, or else be accused of all kinds of things, people really don’t take it all that well.

I honestly think outfits like Disney are purposefully doing things to whip up white cishet resentment and get more cons into power. I realize how conspiracy-minded that statement is, but their over the top cartoonish DEI/pandering stuff seems almost DESIGNED to turn people into Republicans. It’s really hard to explain their actions as being profit-driven.

The people voting for donnie are not really voting for any serious policies; they are just flailing around and are told all Democrats are behind the more silly outbursts from the fringe. They think they’ll put Hollywood into “their place”, but what’s most likely is that they’ll just get more dirty air, hotter and hotter climate, dirty water, more corporate welfare, no worker protections, no healthcare, no education for their kids, and on and on. And all to get those wokesters…

Oh, FFS.

This is a feature for the cons. If someone thinks they can be shamed out of it, they are delusional or just extremely low-info.

To do a “well, actually” I guess we didn’t really have an empire until well past the country’s founding. We were a mostly irrelevant backwater for some period of time.

ETA: And as someone who freaking loves this country, I realize that saying a comment like the above is one that could probably get you into a fight two days from now, most especially, when all kinds of fetishistic performative military nonsense and uncritical screeds about this country are at peak ridiculousness (and I love July 4th in spite of these flaws). I consider myself a real patriot, but one that is unwilling to whitewash this country.

Agreed. I wish Biden would announce they are all being arrested and tried for treason. Same for the cons on the “supreme” court.

People like the Heritage Foundation represent the Tories, though.

The Green Party in the United States is a joke.

Ryan: “What’s said in the family stays in the family.”

IOKIYAR

The Constitution as we knew it is null and void.

Yep, it’s an “official act”.

So, is insurrection an official act?

I’d like to see some journalist pretending that they don’t understand and ask something like: “excuse me, why do you keep talking about armies of maggots”?

The RW love to broadcast their tiny genitals without spelling it out.
