Political Thread: The Sequel

Well hopefully the Ds can catch up there. I'm sure the DNC doesn't like playing second fiddle to the most watched network in the country.


Most watched probably but besides maybe Newmax and the NYP that is about all the right wing has. On the other hand pull up the Yahoo homepage and on politics it’s nearly all attacks on Trump or really stupid fluff pieces on Harris.

But it’s ok, they probably don’t know they are that biased, it took them years to figure Biden was mentally weak.
 
Serious question for those who would want to leave either way, where would you go? Island in the middle of nowhere? Europe is a whole lot more socialist in general than the US is, and Canada is a dumpster fire if you thought the US was bad.
Japan. I like their culture and their family orientation.

Wait till they see gas prices and food prices. USA has it made. Thailand is cheap. But gotten very progressive this year too.

If you're a fan of working 80+ hours a week then there you go. They're further down the pipeline of what we would become and their country's population is likely the first to catastrophically fall off a cliff now that they basically aren't having kids. At least they got high speed rail right.

Americans are obese and nasty. Porn addicted weirdos who all have a different medication for a different problem.

I'll take my bets elsewhere.

How Americans could possibly vote in a woman who slept her way to the top ends it for me.
 
She received 99% of the votes in the virtual roll-call that was done to make sure there were no ballot access issues. She is the nominee. The excitement on the D side is very high right now which to be honest surprised me a bit. I figured she would want to display a "new Kamala" this time around as she wasn't well received in 2019. So far so good and we'll see what the next 90 days bring.

At least for now, I'd say she is, but we're hearing more about stuff that she's denouncing from 2019 from staffers (Medicare for all) than actual policy, outside of maybe touting what was done with insulin.

Like, I'd say I know more about policy for Walz despite not really knowing him until the last week or so, although I suppose we shouldn't be surprised since he's been a Governor.

For the most part, I'd say it's standard Democratic fare now (besides the culture war stuff I saw in here while lurking, a couple things: he may have gotten a free school breakfast/lunch policy done, may have contributed to housing policies that have helped ease inflation for the state, pro-abortion, and was for permitting reform, etc.). There are things that I might not agree with (mostly there are a couple things he did in Congress that I wouldn't side with through what I read, but he apparently was 50/50 in Congress on votes siding for/against democrats, but I can't find that), but like I said, if standard Democratic fare=socialism today for all of y'all who are Republican in here, then 98%+ of Democrats are socialists.

This was a good readthrough for me earlier today:

 
Her policies go against the way I would like to live my life.
Which ones specifically? I'm really just trying to understand. Maybe just tell me the one you like the least that would or could significantly affect your life?
 
Harris is softer than Obama. If you survived him you will be fine. Walz will be more in charge so should be safer than Biden sleeping. Republicans must admit our ticket is what they wanted since they screamed for Biden to drop out. Well they got it! 😊
 
We have done everything republicans have asked us to do. Biden gone. Sharpio out. Hell what more can we possibly do other than bend over
