We’re all going to vote for him if he’s the nominee… But he’s still going to lose…

The state of the election is such that turnout is going to tank. Libs and Cons are both very worried who the indie voter aligns with, but I’m betting a bunch of people simply don’t vote in November.

Would be extremely funny if the Dem response to Trump was to seed the election with their own brand of C-List celebrity.

But our country simply isn’t that cool.

Finally getting the Bernie/Hilary ticket everyone has been asking for

“Accused” by whom?

The British, by the look of it

You laugh, but I still have no idea what I’m going to do in November.

I’m in Texas, so it doesn’t really matter. But its not something I enjoy thinking about.

MR PRESIDENT GET DOWN!

Surely there’s one better young person in the USA ?

None of them ran. Biden’s admin and his fund raising base held enormous sway over the party at-large. As soon as he corralled the support of this tiny monied elite, everyone else had to either get in line or get marked as party pariahs and ousted for their disloyalty.

The pastiche of democracy is predicated on a primary system that can produce and sustain rival candidates. But when leadership in the party are terrified of “Russian bots” and “Leftist Antifa Agitators” undermining the general election, they circle the wagons around their incumbents and bow down to their mega-donors out of cowardice.

No rival candidates means no real primary means no one actually challenges Biden on his merits.

We should have gotten a second season at least.

Fox Media was run by sadists

I’m going to take a bold position and say they were all good consoles. It was a beautiful time for video games.

Setting aside the fact that this would require a Senate majority, that’s not even the worst outcome.

A broader spectrum of conservative judges means they need to triangulate across their generational and niche personal views. There is legit some amount of political space between Gorduch, Roberts, ACB, Judge Likes Beer, Uncle Thomas, and Discount Scalia.

Adding three more of them to match three more liberal judges means even more dissonance.

And who knows? Maybe we even start getting judges who didn’t fall directly out of the Harvard pipeline.

Or begin federally indicting Justices, but I find that even less likely

My man has some of the best health care our government can buy, plus a legion of sponsors ready to prop him up indefinitely.

Little reason to believe he’s going anywhere, at least not before the next GOP president can replace him with an equally pilled far right judge.

It’s worse if you expect the first guy to be a strong contender against the second guy

BIDEN: Fentanyl and the byproducts of fentanyl went down for a while. And I wanted to make sure we use the machinery that can detect fentanyl, these big machines that roll over everything that comes across the border, and it costs a lot of money. That was part of this deal we put together, this bipartisan deal.

More fentanyl machines, were able to detect drugs, more numbers of agents, more numbers of all the people at the border. And when we had that deal done, he went – he called his Republican colleagues said don’t do it. It’s going to hurt me politically.

He never argued it’s not a good bill. It’s a really good bill. We need those machines. We need those machines. And we’re coming down very hard in every country in Asia in terms of precursors for fentanyl. And Mexico is working with us to make sure they don’t have the technology to be able to put it together. That’s what we have to do. We need those machines.

You’ll get de-licensed for teaching that, too

Every time Democrats have an opportunity to increase the number of seats on the SCOTUS, they punt.

The fanaticism and fatalism produce some interesting parallels

Then people grow unhappy and begin to rebel. And they either pave a new, wiser path or double down by resorting to cruelty.

Pick less evil each time!

Part of the problem is that people are sold on these guys as “Less Evil” every time. Clinton was the less-evil replacement for Bush. Bush Jr was the less-evil replacement for Clinton. Obama for Bush. Trump for Obama/Hillary. Biden for Trump. Maybe now Trump for Biden.

Evil is necessarily subjective, and a great deal of what we see as “evil” varies starkly based on where we’re getting our news and our values. What do you tell to the people who are doggedly convinced a mob of hispanic/arabic/chinese fentanyl fueled rape gangs are charging across the border to steal American children and murder them for their adrenochrome? What do you say to the folks doggedly convinced that the wrong President will bring about a thermo-nuclear holocaust or a dozen new 9/11s? How do you reason with a person who believes Plan B is no different than strangling a baby to death with your own two hands?

So much of the conversation about “Lesser Evil” is justifying a new and more brutal police state as a defensive measure against some horrifying phantom menace - be it J6 Groypers coming to lynch everyone to the left of Mitt Romney or Chinese TikTok dancers tricking American teenagers into perpetuating a Uyghur genocide.

When you’ve got Israeli Genocide versus Palestinian Islamic Jihad as your baseline for debate, there’s an endless capacity for evil even in the “Lesser” branch.

Despot means you have absolute power.

Traditionally in a cruel or oppressive manner.

The wise leader doesn’t need to inflict cruelty, because they have the public’s trust.
