2024 Elections

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Whiner Party?
Ex-PINO's modern GQP has that copyright.

Jill Stein, Green Party, got 1.07% of the vote in 2016.

Howie Hawkins, Green Party, got 0.26% of the vote in 2020.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Unit ... al_results
Lesson learned?

Supposedly, JFK Jr will steal wingnut votes from Dolt .45 rather than Dem votes from Joe -0-? Some polls give the lunatic as much as 25% of the total vote, though I doubt he'll maintain that large a share.

Let's see,
MAGAt
Traitor
Felon
Reneged on his admission of responsibility
And IIRC:
Was/is living with his Mommy
History of mental illness
Lack of accomplishment in life

My only question is why he's running as a Libertarian when his GQP credentials are so solid? That said, I approve of his intent to siphon off GQP votes.

The funny part is as a convicted felon he can't vote, but it doesn't preclude him from running or serving.

Nikki will pick a Wonder Bread male, but Uncle Tim is not the worst choice that Dolt .45 or Fascist DerSantis can make.

Yeah, like Republicans will be more likely to vote for a candidate that has a Black guy for a heartbeat away from the Presidency. :roll:

Good point, but I'm inclined to think that they will vote RepuQ, regardless. Otoh, maybe some Blacks who are justifiably sick of the Dems would hold their noses and pray for that heart to stop -0-?

It would be Uncle Tim's second high office first achieved without an election. Is that Affirmative Action? ;)

So do these "Biden's Open Border" people truly not know that letting people in to be considered for asylum is a matter of law, not presidential policy, that Biden's policies are essentially the same as Trump's, and that if they want to change the law it's the job of the congresscritters to do it?

Or do they know all that and just like to blame Biden anyway because the idea of hordes of brownish skinned people scares the bejeebies out of the "poorly educated" that vote for Trump.

I'll take bejeebie scaring for $500, Alex.

It's been the tactic for decades, all while obstructing real, workable and patriotic reform because bejeebie scaring is thought to be better politics for the perpetually victimized and racist GQP. Funny thing is that America has somehow muddled through despite the decades of doom predicting. I guess that's what happens when millions merely want to WORK. Remember when the GQP used to value that?

Article title: "Why Tim Scott's campaign failed"
Several paragraphs of political yammerty yammer, which could have more easily and accurately been explained as:

"Black Republican with really unattractive smile, no Senate achievements and a lame backstory."

Here's more word salad that doesn't improve on my explanation:

:headscratch: I think that op-ed is informative and well written, but your summation is also good. I've been saying for years that there's no way the modern GQP nominates a non-white or a woman. Tick-tock, Nikki and Vivek. The latter can't even win over his own demographics let alone RepuQ voters:

Opinion
Vivek Ramaswamy's Loud Voice Doesn't Resonate With Young Indian Americans

Ramaswamy, an Indian American millennial, doesn't represent the core values of the demographics invoked for his deeply cynical campaign.

It's a bit mind blowing that Democrats actually lose elections.

And then you remember people like rwb, Archie, that rabbit, pee, and the tea people interviews and …
Trump: “We had the safest border in the history of our country - or at least recorded history. I guess maybe a thousand years ago it was even better.”
