I still think gop loses based upon women’s rights. The sports books disagree or it’s a set up idk. I can’t believe that people can watch trump talk about sharks and electric batteries and dumb shit every day and say hey that’s my guy but here we are. Vote for who u want but stop with the geeblock is blind and has no idea why he’s voting dem please.
posted by geeblockFunny no criticism of trump not saying one true sentence but I get it with this group let’s focus on the guy who is 3 years older haha
No way you are trying to compare their mental acuity last night.
Trump was a moron but he looked like a MENSA member compared to Joe last night.

Biden was horrible I agree and I wish they had another candidate but are we really not gonna say the other guy talked fast but said not one thing that was accurate? Two terrible choices.

They both said some truths and they both lied a lot.
Both sides need to be honest if that particular accusation is going to be tossed about.

Compared to Joe, yes. Good lord I can’t believe you are even trying to compare the 2 last night strictly on a mental acuity level.
Politicians lie, so saying Trump told a bunch of lies has zero to do with the mental acuity question.
One looked and sounded like any other older person, one looked and sounded like someone who can’t remember their own name and wears a diaper.
Just admit it, Biden looked so bad he should step down today, now everyone knows he isn’t mentally capable to run the country, someone else is running the country. It’s Weekend at Bernie’s.
Are you and PTown still going to denigrate people that say he has dementia?
lol ptown lives in your head. Vote for who u want. I can see u are unable to criticize trump without saying but in the next sentnce. I’ll vote on the policy that fits my values and beliefs. I applaud u for doing the same. It’s what makes this country great.
I can't speak for every family, naturally, but I'll explain how it goes in mine.
The Dem voters/believers in my family are all Boomers. Almost all of them, I should say. Why is that of interest? It's important to point out the fact that they easily can remember when JFK was the embodiment of the Dem party. That was the face of their generation. The party of the working class and supporting their unions, where applicable. Today the Dem party is much different. It stopped having anything to do with the working class in 1998. None of the people in my family knew that the Dems just performed a strike bust in California a year or two ago until I told them. And even then they didn't believe it until I pulled it up on my phone and showed them. The result was they got pissy towards me until another political subject branched off of the main one.
I would guess that most families are like that, even if politics weren't commonly discussed around the table like it is in my family. Most people just believe what they believe and don't look under the hood of the car too much, in the way that we do here, much less kick the tires.
The Gen x part of my family is mostly conservative and independent. The millennials are basically neo-socialists who just like to be depressed and the youngest ones are mostly apolitical.
The point being is that a lot of people are just habitual voters without much interest in knowing why. Generational factors have a lot to do with that. Just my opinion based on my own family.

So do y feel that trump and his policies are going to benefit the middle class or the wealthy? Personally I feel like it will be 4 more years of trickle down which hasn’t trickled down. Just my op

In the 1 in a million chance he wins, he will be embattled too much to do much of anything, imo. Just like what happened in his prior term. I think we all know that. Intelligence agencies have already plainly stated that they will not apologize for lying and hoaxes they started and perpetuated and even said they'd do it again. So yeah, Trump will never be free to do much.
He won't be president again.

Please explain to me what the Dem's have done for the blacks, Hispanics, poor, etc besides hold them down with free handouts (government assistance) to buy their votes? The idea that the Democratic Party is for the "little man" or fighting FOR the people is a lie and a joke.
Their policies and stupid ideas (pushing electric vehicles on us) have caused inflation to skyrocket since Weekend at Bernie's has been in office. Yeah, soaring food prices and cars/SUV's that cost twice a house payment benefit EVERYONE! SMDH

1. Ptown denigrated anyone who questioned Biden’s mental acuity whether they said dementia or Alzheimer’s or just senility. He deserves being called out on his antics.
2 I criticize Trump all the time, keep trying to deflect. I think he was the 3rd worse option we’ve even seen in the last 2 elections. I would have voted for most Ds over him last time and all the Rs. Same this time if there were more Ds. Biden was about the only one that wouldn’t get my vote over Trump
I voted for Obama when he was against McCain, mainly because I feared Palin being 1 heartbeat away. I voted for Clinton in his second election (my first as a voter) so acting like I am a shill for Trump is asinine.
I can’t vote in Bernie from weekend at Bernie’s. I don’t know how anyone can vote for someone knowing full well someone else is running the country.
posted by geeblockThis is the biggest problem for the right. Morally, abortion is trash. Politically, it’s a very bad move. The good thing is that for the most part it’s creating less crazy leftists and government leaches. I’m all for the trend of the left not wanting families and no kids.I still think gop loses based upon women’s rights.
I don’t agree with everything on the dem side. I think we need to stop giving money to other countries while we have homeless people in every city. I think we need to address the border or fix a path of citizenship for people who want to come and work.
What I can’t do is vote for a party that is trying to shove the Bible down my throat and make tons of unnecessary laws based upon their values. There are actual real problems as mentioned above and they spend all their time ranting and raving about things that largely don’t matter.
I would agree with it wouldn’t matter if trump be comes president because he tends to not do much, however he did get 3 Supreme Court judges in there which ended up being a huge deal so nothing would suprise me at this point.

The homeless are there because of the libs. Big cities suck bc of libs and not enforcing any laws. Giuliani is a fucking weirdo now, but before he cleaned up NY. It’s really simple to do if they want to. The border is the same. The left is 100% to blame for that. They’re also to blame for the gay shit which is also going to end up being a losing proposition for them.
What “biblical” laws have the right been throwing down your throat?
What is the conservative plan to remedy homelessness?
posted by gutThe problem with replacing Biden, perhaps even if he willingly steps aside, is people will feel it was orchestrated to deny them choosing the candidate in the primaries. But at this point, might be the only way to save the Dems in the House and Senate. Barring some surprise - which is entirely possible, especially with Trump - I think Trump will be POTUS even if the Dems nominate someone else in the convention.
Because now it must be clear, even to people like Ptown, that Biden is incapable and has been for some time. And either the people actually running the country thought they could prop-up their figurehead for 4 more years, or replacing him with their hand-picked candidate was the plan all along. That just won't fly with the margin they need to defeat Trump in the swing states.
The other problem with replacing him is the fact the Dems would essentially be admitting that they were gaslighting public for the last 2 years regarding Biden’s health.* This is why I see 0 chance of Biden being replaced. I also find it hilarious for those who cry Trump is a threat to democracy (even though he was voted out), yet those same people now want Biden to be replaced and put up whoever they want via superdelegates. A candidate wholly unelected by their base LOL.
*This was very obvious to many people, but apparently people like Ptown bought into it, or tried their hardesr to amplify the gaslighting.

It's not a liberal or conservative idea to make a plan and then do it.
Mississippi is a poorer state than most and outshining them all when it comes to this problem. But yeah, let's frame it as a liberal vs conservative thing.

Schools should hang the 10 Commandments right next to their pre-existing Pride flag.
"Thou shall not kill" is what Dems like to call life affirming.
Also if they are side by side - students can decide which one they want to prioritize. Can't get any more pro choice than that!

I’m with you and I’m genuinely interesting on hearing the solutions instead of the typical finger pointing.

As a former six year resident of Alabama, my opinion is there is less homelessness there because the cost of living is low and because people don’t generally want to be there. People in AL vote republican with zero deviation. I can assure you it is generally backward and the GOP ruling class is extremely corrupt. Lack of greater amounts of homelessness has nothing to do with a grand GOP plan currently being executed well.

The conservative plan is to bitch.
By the way its the "unhoused".
The left treats these people as they in some sort of temporary unfortunate state. Like a less negative name for the state they are in.
These people typically fall into two categories: Untreated severally mentally ill or an untreated severe addiction to hard drugs. The solution lies not in the high levels of government. It lies with the communities where these problems exist. Typically they congregate in areas near where people with large amounts of wealth are. Not in the rural countryside.
Its going to take dealing with people against their will who are not in a solid mental state. Just what it is. Its going to have to come from the local level.

This doesn't refute in any way what I said, which was make a plan and then do it.
