Yep.
In addition to the 45% or so of the country that are committed authoritarians, we have far too many people among the rest that just don't care enough or are distracted to understand what we're dealing with.
The Democrats lose the midterms even if they had passed much bigger infrastructure bills. And it's because policy details matter little to people that actually decide elections, the stupid middle. Additionally, gerrymandering will ensure the GOP takes over. They've - the kind of people that gave Biden the victory in Virginia and then decided to vote Republican this year - already decided that it's okay to vote for a Death Cult Party as long as Trump is not on the ballot, but they might even warm up to Trump by 2024 anyway since January 6th has already been forgotten and the media will do their best to make Trump president again, legally or illegally.
We're (bleep). |
The fact that the party that doesn't have the WH always seems to win midterm elections also shows us how stupid/ignorant the voting public is, especially swing voters. Their logic is that just because things are not going well, it's the fault of the POTUS and the only solution is to change parties again.
The fact that these people fall for the narcissism of conservatives and overlook how much they enable racism and autocracy, not to mention how much they lie and spread misinformation, is even more damning. |

I don’t know where you live but for the sake of argument let’s say you absolutely hate republicans. If a republican ran locally who had policies that worked for you and your family, you wouldn’t vote for them? Even if they were heavily flawed morally and had racist views? Or would you vote for a dem who made it tougher on you and your family but preached unity etc? |

Tougher on your family.. lol--- I have never seen a Republican policy that truly promoted family values.. How about not fighting Insulin pricing.. (bleep).. Calling immigrants rapists and thieves while being a rapist and thief.. sigh
Hillary promoted Federal Funding for Coal workers and others who would be losing their jobs in the near future... Trump used them and lied to them
^^as for your Republican having policies that worked for "me" .. I wouldn't trust him/her or give them power.
Look at our own Sinema.. disgusting woman.. what is her problem.. Did she fake all the past beliefs so she could (bleep) us over in the future or do they have blackmail on her?
Who do you associate with Q-anon.. Democrats? lol NOPE
Republicans are terrorists even at the local level.. sry.
History of Republicans is to blowup the federal budget and steal billions and then blame the democrats..
They try to drag humanity downward and backwards.. hate science.. talk (bleep) about educated people.. ROLLCOAL.. (bleep) them |

We can keep this here to juxtaposition with Rittenhouse and The US Capitol Terrorist Attackers
3 and a half years for online posts....
FLORIDA!
https://theintercept.com/2021/10/16/daniel-baker-anarchist-capitol-riot/
| Quote: | | On Tuesday, a Florida judge sentenced Daniel Baker, an anti-fascist activist, to 44 months in federal prison for social media posts that called for armed defense against possible far-right attacks on the state’s Capitol in the wake of the January 6 riots. Baker, a 34-year-old yoga teacher and emergency medical technician trainee, had no previous criminal convictions and has already been held for 10 months of harsh pretrial detention, including seven months in solitary confinement. He never brought a weapon near a government building; he amassed no armed anti-fascist forces; he made no threats on a single individual. |
Why do they call his calls for Defending our country against armed racists.. calls for violence?

Curious, will the 1-6-21 Terrorist Attackers sentences be like drugs etc
Users get a lesser sentence than the dealers and kingpins?
So since the attack did happen how much time should the planners and financiers of the terrorist attacks get in relation to those they paid or assisted to do the attacks? |

I live in a super liberal section of the L.A. area, and I'm super liberal/social democratic myself. I'm grateful to be self-employed, so I don't really need that much help when it comes to the economy. The only policies that would really impact me at all are combating climate change, healthcare (it impacts everyone, and many more than myself right now), abortion, and legalizing weed .
I would never vote for a Republican, but I really doubt Democratic policies would ever make things noticeably harder on myself. I don't make nearly enough money to be impacted by liberal tax hikes on high income earners. Even if I made over, say, $400,000 a year, I would never vote for a Republican no matter how much they would lower my taxes.
But my post had to do with the overall ignorance of voters, especially voters in certain demo groups. That ignorance makes them so easily swayed by conservative policies, especially since my side sucks at messaging compared to conservatives. |

That's a poor theoretical, because a heavily, morally flawed and racist republican is not going to be presenting policies that work for someone who is diametrically opposed to republicans because that politician's ideals and platform would never formulate a policy
Furthermore, republicans willingly vote for politicians who policies actively work against them, but do so anyway because of that cult of personality. There are very few republicans who benefit from republican policy who continue to benefit from republican policy—and they are the 1%, or equally morally flawed and racist.

The "active shooter" argument was laughable and a desperate prayer from the prosecution.....which is why they never made that case until their closing argument.

A child carrying a semi-automatic compact machine gun IS THREATENING all in it's own
He didn't have a badge or id
He didn't stay at his location. He went looking for trouble.
Makes me think of all the child soldiers in third world countries..
I guess it would be fair game to just go walk around at Trump rallies with a machine gun being very intimidating and the first one I can get to punch or attack me I get to murder.. correct? |

Anyone have thoughts on why some politicians continue to run for offices that they clearly will not win? Some examples....
Beto - Texas Governor '22
Chris Christie - Republican Presidential Candidate / US President '24
Charlie Christ - Florida Governor '22
There are many more....and it happens every cycle....but candidates that have been rejected by the voters, and their brand has only diminished since their last run. It just seems like terrible politics by the parties because often times these guys have the name recognition to hinder lesser known candidates from making their case early on and they cannot gain any footing in the races only to be forced to drop out.....because of a candidate that basically can't win. Virginia would seem like a perfect example for why it is better to bring in new blood that at least has a chance to gain enough support to actually win in a general election. I know it is a ramble.....but it is like Bob Dole in '96.....what was the purpose?
While I am complaining about dumb politics, I saw that Vermont Dems are all getting behind Congressman Peter Welch to replace Senator Leahy. How does it make sense to put a 74 year old in that Senate seat when they could basically anoint a Vermont Democrat in their 50's to that seat and keep it safe for 2-3 decades? Now they are going to risk Vermont maybe not being as liberal in a decade when Welch ages out, and giving the other party a chance to take the seat. |

I get it, its more about politics being local vs national. Its a horrible crop of republicans we all get that. However, when we look at it nationally you see the likes of Gosar, Bobert, green etc. Unfortunately, there are no good examples but if you are in a reddish-purple state, those people don't affect you on the daily.
My question in simpler terms is if a dem and rep were running. The rep was morally toxic but his policies were more favorable to you, who do you vote for?
Outside of President I don't really vote on party. Last election being the acception. I am more blue than not but that doesn't automatically get my vote. |

This is laughable beyond belief in it's intellectually dishonesty. Rittenhouse was an armed individual fleeing the scene of a killing—even if we agree that "active shooter" is an exaggeration. As such, Rittenhouse is a reasonable threat to those around him and those people are entirely entitled to try and stop the possibility of further shootings, even through force of their one.
One can't reasonably argue that Rittenhouse acted justifiably in using lethal force against an unarmed person as an act of self defense, and then argue that the other people around Rittenhouse are not allowed to use defensive actions against someone who has clearly demonstrated themselves to a deadly threat to others.

He may not be removed from the case, he should be removed from the bench. A retrial will be close to impossible.

Judge could rule on Kyle Rittenhouse mistrial at any time. Is that normal?

did you think it was going to go any other way? Impossible at this point to find an unbias jury. Maybe parents of victims could civil? |

Rittenhouse judge back in spotlight during jury instructions

Judge could rule on Kyle Rittenhouse mistrial at any time. Is that normal?

did you think it was going to go any other way? Impossible at this point to find an unbias jury. Maybe parents of victims could civil? |
From the outset, I sensed an acquittal.
If or when Rittenhouse walks I think there will be protests. I hope they're peaceful. A great thing to do would be to start a movement to remove Judge Bruce Schroeder from the bench.

| Dr. Saule Omarova, Biden’s currency comptroller nominee seems to make Republicons angry. If she doesn't get the votes needed, why cant biden do what Trump did? make her "acting" . I don't know anything about her or what she would do but if it angers GOP its probably good. |

My guess is they don't like her because she's Asian. LINK
