Politics Thread

The Dems have the right to nominate whoever the hell they want. That's not the point, and as usual, because that's who he is, Paul's doing his best to obfuscate the facts.

Joe Biden, his handlers, the DC Dems and the media LIED to their constituents. Everyone with half a brain knew that Biden only had half a brain. But, because, Dem voters consume a very narrow source of news (cheap fakes! stuttering!) they apparently weren't aware of Biden's cognitive decline. Those same collaborators conspired to subvert democracy for their voters and the general public. They voted for Biden on false pretenses.

If the dems would put someone competent like a Kelly or a Beshear alongside her, things could get interesting.

Republicans should follow the dems lead and get Trump out...do America a favor.

Agree, it's going to get real interesting. Trump knew he could beat Biden. What if all the polls starting to come out say no way Trump can beat Harris. I do think Trump messed up by not putting a female on the ticket

Obvious difference, of course, is that the Republicans actually had a full and open primary, and Trump crushed everyone else. This is actually the candidate the Republicans want running (as hard as that is to believe).

Who knows who Democrats would have picked if they actually had a chance to choose. But, you know, can't have democracy when there's democracy to save!

Fear is a powerful thing no matter if most of it is complete bs. However, it's gotten certain people to believe two things 1.) If the dems win, the world is going to end. 2.) if Trump wins, democracy is over.

We've got dueling conspiracy narratives going right now: Donald Trump wasn't actually shot vs. Joe Biden is on his deathbed or already dead

Never change America! Never change.

Twitter is a beautiful thing but for politics it is yikes yikes yikes.

Trying to determine “presidential greatness” is purely subjective. The criteria being used and the relative importance of each item can be manipulated to give you whatever result you desire.

There’s doubt about this? It will absolutely turn the election into being all about race and feminism. Anyone on the Right who criticizes or disparages Harris in any way will be labeled as a misogynistic racist.

But you gotta work extra hard to come in last place. It's not that easy to do.

The act of blaming another person for your own mistakes or shortcomings rather than accepting the blame or criticism yourself is called deflection. This type of defensiveness as a coping skill is commonly used to angle or direct the focus or blame away from ourselves.

Perfect.

As to your presidential rankings, the results shouldn’t be a surprise because of partisan breakdown.

From your post

* Democrats – 95
* Republicans – 15
* Independents/Others – 44
* Liberals – 98
* Conservatives – 20
* Moderates – 36

Most of these surveys are done based off social issues while in office.

Yes Joe is not worst nor is Trump. Depending on what is important for whoever, you can find value in either one.
