  1. I think most people are cool with changing the system. But fuck sticking to rules that don't exist. Losing this election won't do shit to reduce the power of the churches in elections.
  2. If you are going to kick a man in the vagina, you better have a video of it.
  3. But you need to consider 2000. I’m not talking hanging chads, recounts, and Supreme Court challenges. All of that is related to whether we count votes that were cast. Same with the lawsuits the Republicans lost consistently in 2020/21. What I am talking is what Florida’s AG did months leading up to election: disqualification of legal voters, skewed towards those with Hispanic names. You can’t count votes that weren’t cast. There is nothing the awesome lawyers can do after Election Day. By DQ’ing names the registration rolls, they can keep people from casting votes. Some will argue about it and go through the hassle of filling in provisional ballots, but many will not. It was enough to get Bush the presidency in 2000.
  4. … you don’t bother looking for them.
  5. I think the thing Shapiro gets you (besides PA) is the reason he does so well in PA. From what little I have seen, I think he can help with the union/labor vote, which I think has slipped from the Dems in the last 20 years, and maybe the biggest gap with taking Biden off the ticket. That's important in PA, WI, and MI. Big upside. But I don't think it is worth the baggage regarding the Palestinian/Israel issues. I don't know if folks appreciate what a wedge issue that is, especially amongst the youth vote. I assume the Dem strategy is to talk as little about it as possible. Having Shapiro makes that impossible. If she picks Shapiro, she better have a clear position on the conflict (including military and economic support for Israel), because otherwise it will be seen as a tacit acceptance of Shapiro's views, which includes arresting protesters. I think that loses this election.
  6. Definitely, but do you think that Trump 1) appreciates the difference between firing a SoD and firing a VP a few weeks after the convention; 2) perceives any kind of personal fault for doing so? Your argument is logical and reasoned, which is why it is irrelevant to what Trump might do.
  7. But, it's not like it'd be the first time Trump has thrown a hand-selected appointee under the bus. It's kind of his go-to move. AG, cheifs of staffs, sec of defense.. A Scaramouch is now a measurement of time. He nearly got his last VP executed. It's never a sign of weakness. It's never a mistake on his part. It's always "I gave him an opportunity...tried to save him from being a complete loser..and he failed me." And the cultists don't blink an eye. I have no idea what will happen in this election cycle. The simulation has gone berserk. But I wouldn't cite Trump admitting a mistake as part of the reasoning, because no matter what he will never admit a mistake.
  8. I don't think anyone is saying there wouldn't be tradeoffs. I mean, is he going to take on Rachel fucking Green? Does he think that is a winning strategy with suburban women? Hoe Lee Phuk.
  9. Weird. I made your mom choke a bit.
  10. I hate it when someone posts their analysis of a poll, but doesn't include a link to the poll. While a poll might have some value in total, when you start getting down to demographic splits, you might be talking 30 people with practically no statistical meaning. And, yeah, not posting the row headers makes me question their basic competency.
  11. What I love about the JD Vance stuff is you just know a coked-Don Jr. is showing Daddy every meme while he lobbies for the VP slot/father's love.
  12. The one thing I was hoping for with Biden (prior to the debate) was that there were enough progressive who were pissed at him (Israel, border policy, etc.) that they were going to withhold their support to a pollster, but still show up on Election Day to avoid four years of Trump.
  13. That was when America was great. When the government could just run completely racist program, deporting American citizens in some cases, and they didn't need to hide behind non-racist names. They could just come out and call it "Operation Wetback", and no one would complain.
  14. I had to look up "clerisy." It means "a distinct class of learned or literary people." The Republicans consider that an insult.
  15. I can also see intentionally delaying until after the Republican convention. The Republicans spent all that prime time attacking Biden, and he's not the candidate. But I very much doubt this was the plan going into the primaries. Way too much disfunction.
  16. This quickly went from a manslaughter case to debarment deposition.
  17. I’d wager that 80% of civils are paid via tax dollars, either directly or through contracts. That being said, familiarity breeds contempt and the government flaws shine when working with them.
  18. "Can you put some nut juice in my coffee? Make it frothy." Perhaps there should be a law that states cows' milk should be called "bodily fluids" since we are being all precise and shit.
  19. Wkipedia says young earth creationists believe the earth is 6k to 10k years old. My experience must have been with those on the more idiotic end of the timeline. A distinction without a real difference. At any rate, it’s difficult to argue logic with the delusional.
  20. You assume he believes the Universe is older than 6000 years.
  21. Are you and your buddy blue collar workers whose wages haven’t kept up with inflation? Do you live in the dying slums know as rural America? I get it. It’s hard to say you been given an advantage when you see yourself doing worse than the generation prior. When you’re doing worse than your average black man. That can be a tough reality to accept. Doesn’t make it less real. Trump sells them something easier to believe.
  22. In other words, there really isn’t any Republican consequence that actually matters.
  23. I closed on a house in South Seattle last month after renting out here for the last 2.5 years. Figured I should lock down a place as I think climate issues will continue to drive growth here for a while.
  24. Yep. Came to this thread while watching his interview on Colbert. Fucking hypocritical shitstains will never admit they’re wrong.
