  1. A guy can dream, but I’ll stand by this assertion: A female African American, and/or a homosexual who has been very successful in this world are probably much better equipped to operate as the object of the right’s hate than say Biden, you or myself. They’ve been in that position of being the object of other’s hate their entire life and thrived in spite of it. I see the newest low and am like OMG WTF?! They are like, dude, it’s just Wednesday. People like Kamala and Pete Buttigieg destroy stereotypes just by being their genuine selves.
  2. African Americans, Women and Homosexuals who have attained success are very experienced at living with, coping with, and thriving in spite of being the object of hatred. They will be far more adept at being calm amongst this storm than a white man or woman. After all, it's a storm that they have lived with their entire lives. Put Pete on the ticket and let him and Kamala be the light that exposes the emboldened hatred that has taken root on the right to middle-of-the road voters. As you have seen with Kamala, they will respond. Most centrists are good people who are just trying to make sense of what is going on in this country so as to make the best decision they can in November.
  3. Here’s the deal. Trump turns off more voters than he turns on. Some of the ones he turns on, they are in it for the bigotry. They want blacks to get to the back of the bus, women to get back to the kitchen and gays to go back in the closet. Middle of the road voters who could go either way do NOT support those bigoted views. They just aren’t tuned in/informed enough to recognize that project 2025 is aiming to do just that. The Republican Party has been commandeered by its darkest fringe, and you can see how that fringe are revealing themselves in response to having to deal with a black and female opponent who is young, an excellent communicator and unafraid of their hate. Just by being her genuine self, she disproves all of the racist and sexist stereotypes that many Republicans are reacting to. Put Pete on the ticket, he’s even better at disproving homophobic stereotypes just by being who he naturally is. Make them deal with having a black female Presidential candidate AND a gay vice Presidential candidate. The racist, sexist and homophobic jeering from the right will drive normal middle of the road voters straight to the Dems. Just get the secret service functional first.
  4. Long term we do have to reconcile with each other, but this is the important part before the election. I would like Kamala to come out and literally say, "Its time to call a spade a spade where Donald Trump is concerned -- the man is a serial liar, fraud and criminal." Go ahead and use the racist dog whistle against him and take away the shock value that Trump gets with his base when he uses them. DAMN DID YOU HEAR WHAT TRUMP SAID??!! becomes DAMN DID YOU HEAR WHAT KAMALA SAID?!!! Then present the case for American voters in clear and plain language. She needs to be smart and intelligent but also ruthless as a competitor.
  5. Probably just a p-funk concert. Red Rocks Employees Report UFO Sighting at the Venue "There was no mistaking what this was: We all saw a giant disc-shaped craft hovering a few hundred feet above the ground with three rows of windows and lights." https://www.westword.com/music/red-rocks-employees-report-ufo-sighting-21205147
  6. Im kinda worried surlyhorns bbs software attained sentience.
  7. And Mexican pointy boots.
  8. Polls have become like everything else -- meaningless through the deluge of bullshit.
  9. I've really liked UAFX guitar amp plugins, so these pedal forms intrigue me.
  10. I have a pretty strong feeling Trump's end will be violent, one way or the other. I am not advocating that by any means, it's just the path he's chosen. The people who consider Trump a useful idiot today will find him more useful as a martyr tomorrow if it becomes clear he won't ever be President again.
  11. What you have seen happen in the last 24 hours is the momentum that is possible when a political party actually listens to the will of the people. Even those that aren't typically "their base." Keep listening, Dems.
  12. I can't keep up with this thread, but I think it is time that everyone acknowledge that I am a fucking brilliant albeit completely unqualified political strategist.
  13. Petition to change username to “Kernel Panic.”
  14. If I know I'm about to die in the next hour, I'm honestly not sure I wouldn't rub one out for the road.
  15. Well, it all seems pretty fucking hollow at this point, doesn't it? One day Joe tells us the end is nigh if Republicans are elected. The next he tells us to simmer, down, they just have a different vision. The day after he struggles to finish a sentence. If we're like, "Hey, uh, why am I getting all these mixed messages and precisely what the fuck is up with this leader I am supposed to be rallying behind?" we're told to shut the fuck up and fall in line. Lost faith is hard to regain. Once you see that the great Wizard of Oz is really just an old man behind a curtain, you can't unsee it. Dems need to recognize this. Their emperor has no clothes. If they don't give voters a non-ridiculous option, the subset of those voters who don't have literal skin in the game are going to opt for self-preservation vs doomed Quixotic last stands.
  16. @NowThis says, "Wait, that's one of the stages of euphoric pleasure."
