Crazy to watch. Dude, those early days of UFC were wild! 1 Link to comment

Scarlet Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Least kept secret in politics but here's confirmation that Bannon's plan is in action. As with most things MAGA it'll probably backfire spectacularly. Link to comment
knapplc Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 The candidate Republicans chose is not getting great reviews. Quote Retired four-star admirals and generals, along with former secretaries of the U.S. Army, Navy and Air Force, have filed an amicus brief warning the Supreme Court to reject Trump's presidential immunity claim. "We risk jeopardizing America's standing as a guardian of democracy in the world and further feeding the spread of authoritarianism, thereby threatening the national security of the United States and democracies around the world." 1 Link to comment

Dr. Strangelove Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 If Trump wins, Democrats need to let this sort of policy through with no opposition. Democrats need to stop protecting Republican voters from their own catastrophic policy desires. Link to comment

knapplc Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 This is a flat-out lie, just like the lies the conservatives gave Congress before being affirmed. Every one of them said Roe was settled case law, untouchable. And then they ruled on Dobbs, and here we are. 1 Link to comment

I'm really trying to figure out how and why people think Joe Biden is going to win. It seems to me that there's a decent chance that the electoral college bias is so strongly against Democrats that it may not be possible for them to win. Joe Biden will probably need to win the national popular vote by nearly 5% to win the electoral college, which is a margin that may not be possible given how deeply polarized the electorate it and how impossible it is to sway political opinions. It seems likely that we're heading towards a 2016 environment where Biden wins the popular vote by ~2.5-3%, leading to a decisive electoral college loss. There's a reason Trump's electoral strategy isn't even trying to sway opinion - they don't need to. They need to drum up the base to turn out and cruise to victory because they have tremendous built in advantages. Link to comment

They need to drum up the base to turn out and cruise to victory because they have tremendous built in advantages. Many of the swing states had very narrow wins for Biden in 2020. I don't think Trump picks up any more voters there. I think he losses voters in those states due to his criminal issues as well as the abortion issue. He can turn out his voters as much as he wants - he'll get those red states - that is a given. But more and more thoughtful GOPers are leaving trump and they will either vote 3rd party, not vote at all for the top of the ticket or hold their nose and vote Biden - in all 3 cases Trump losses a 2020 voter. The Arizona abortion case just tossed Arizona deeper into Biden's camp IMHO. 1 Link to comment
