You hate to see it. :lol:

 
Bruh it is not even about not knowing any black people. South Bend Indiana is a quarter black. It has a higher percentage of black people than Arkansas had when Bill Clinton ran.

Even the black people that know him, don't like him. :lol:
that's kinda what i mean, in a city thats quarter black in his entire political life seemingly hasn't met a single black person who likes him. :lol:
 
Kamala should have been the moderate candidate from the jump, she should have just owned the Cop thing

She should have opened political ads with "Im Kamala and im a ******* cop"

"no we aren't doing medicare for all, and no illegal immigrants can't have free health care."

"were gunna put do a public option,
im gunna put Donald Trump under the jail
and im going to spend my entire administration terrorizing white collar criminals and rich tax cheats"

im Kamala and im ******* ******* cop and I approved this message.

That would have been a disaster famb.

Kamala's problem is not her lane, it is that she is bad at this. (And again, she is kinda getting unfair **** on too)

Pete went from a Progressive darlings to "centrist" darling with ease because he is good at this. No one even damn well noticed Pete policy positions have not changed that much. He is just packaging them differently.

Kamala sucks at selling herself.
 
Pete needs to find a B-tier Southern rapper to be his surrogate, à la Killer Mike.

What is Rich Boythese days?
Famb a few days after the NYPD nearly shot my *** during a stop and frisk, I remember this low life defending stop-n-frisk in an interview. Pushing back on someone bringing up minority communities being upset by the practice by saying **** like he gets thanks from people in minority communities because the practice has made their neighborhoods better too, and critics should consider that. Imagine being so lost in the white supremacy sauce that you think black people should thank you for violating their constitutional rights.

He was doing good for a while though. He was funding down ticket races in states and fighting the NRA. Just like Biden these old white dudes can never be comfortable with redeeming themselves in the background. They feel they still deserve the shine.

If he makes a later debate, I am paying to get in and while he is talking, I am launching one of my vegan free trade hemp sandals at his head, on some...

**** Bloomberg, for Life.
Georgie B was dodging those shoes like Lamar Jackson dodges defenders lol
 
private insurance companies have done a good job convincing the masses that they are the best option. It's also probably good to remember that unions are unlikely to be wild about M4A, as it would render worthless a big part of the union's negotiated compensation package (big Dem voting blocks in PA, MI, WI)

You can give people more options but when you start talking about taking things away, restricting options, etc., people get scared. Americans are extremely loss-averse and distrustful of government. The latter is the result of right-wing propaganda perhaps but the former seems to be an outgrowth of American culture

Warren should be looking at Obama's 2008 run. He had a signature idea (health care) but it was less a "plan" than a set of general propositions. Meanwhile, his campaign excelled in the stuff of winning campaigns: high, inspiring rhetoric

I wouldn’t really care if I wasn’t insured under my union as long as the coverage I got was as good or better.

my insurance is “free” but it’s not really, 10 dollars an hour from my “total package” goes to my medical. So I wouldn’t really trip if I got it on my check or Pension.

I don’t think it would hurt unions at all, there’s a lot more to it than the health care.
 
I sometimes marvel just at how intelligent the people that post in this thread are. I am proud to be a contributor to this thread. With people like you guys, I have hope for our country and our world. I hope you all have a great rest of your day and a great evening.

I think she partly sucks at selling herself because shes out here living a lie, she is a mean lady cop.

She's the aunty who doesn't take ****, who you know is gunna drive straight past that mcdonalds on the way home and tell your mom on how you been acting up when you get there.


She should have leaned into that instead of tryna pretend to be a progressive.

easeir to sell yourself when youre actually selling yourself.

Amen. Maybe one day these libs will get educated in how the real world works and start being smart too. That's my hope for this world.
 
This is to be expected, no country has perfectly clean elections and 100% support for its leadership. If 2019 in Bolivia is not a coup then neither is Iran in 1953 nor is Chile in 1973.
No no no no.

There was a referendum, and Evo lost it. Yet, he still went around the Constitution to run, cheated during the elections, and the results were called into questions, rightfully.

Look, the hardest part of having power is letting go of it in a way that won't jeopardize your legacy. Evo failed to do that. I agree with Rusty when he says that he should have groomed a successor and introduced him to the public. Ensuring a clean electoral transition would have done more to cement a democracy that would respect indigenous rights than playing leftist dictator. That's what they've been doing in Senegal, and it is the only country in West Africa that has known Democratic transitions (since their independence) in an area where civil wars and violent overthrows are normal political transitions. The leadership in countries such as Bolivia also have agency and I find it too easy to fall in the trap of blaming the West for some of those governments' own ****ups.
 
Just reviewing the past couple pages of this thread:

"Biden is hilariously out of touch." YES
"No Dem is skilled enough." AGREED
"Pete ... is human embodiment of Potato Salad with Raisins." TRUE
"tryin to [flip] trump voters is a lost cause." YOU SAID IT!
"[Kamala] is bad at this." AND SHE'S A COP.
"Kamala sucks." YES, AND SHE'S A COP.

The curse of the libbie echo chamber has been broken. NT Politics is MAGA heaven now! Trump FOREVER!!!!!!!
