Communion Posted July 10, 2022 Posted July 10, 2022 (edited) Also it is jarring how this exchange exemplifies the issues in the Democratic party. At the end of the day, having someone not compromised by corruption and wants to help people is important. And also that their idea of helping people aligns with the majority of the base. Politicians should want to help people. If they don't want to help people... why are they in public office? And if they claim they do, why are we electing politicians whose ideas do not align with most of our party? Biden's views do not represent some silent center majority. His unpopularity proves the center is a false middle-ground that tries to compromise where one can't be made. We're stuck where we are because: Biden thinks smoking weed deserves punishment (but not his kids smoking crack?!) Biden doesn't think access to abortion is an urgent issue Biden feels contempt for poor millennials and thinks they're lazy We so often are tricked by the establishment into thinking they have our best interests in mind but clearly they don't. If they did, they would have never let a man like Joe Biden steal the nomination, especially when they had someone as organically popular with a majority of the base as Bernie Sanders coming for first place in the wings. It's funny that even our progressive leaders forced some idea onto us of Joe as some likable fellow and earnest man despite his disagreement with our views and that was his #brand after winning. Yet finally getting the one thing he wanted more than anything else in life has proven him to be a nasty, deeply disturbed man. Dem leadership asks us to repeatedly go "grandpa didn't mean it!!" on the basis Biden has some unique appeal to the GOP meanwhile they're discussing the latest pics of Hunter naked and high or his daughter Ashley writing in her drug recovery journal that her dad forcing her to shower with him as a teen was probably inappropriate. Don't tell me "socialism" is caustic as a brand but then argue we can win over people who think Biden is a pedophile. The Biden we're told exists to the right is not real and I'm tired of being gaslighted?? Anyone who didn't vote for Sanders in the primary is clearly at fault for America's collapse and needs their ass-beat ON TOP of Bernie himself being a bozo for letting Joe win and needs his ass beat too. I'm so tired. Edited July 10, 2022 by Communion
Vermillion Posted July 10, 2022 Posted July 10, 2022 I'm still stuck on Kate Bedingfield's statement which I already gave my thoughts on in the other thread. Just stunned. It feels like a nail-in-the-coffin moment as she walks out the door and leaves the WH that is now the cemetery around it in flames Dems keep the Senate by a hair + lose the House in a rout this November, and after a bitter 2024 primary, DeathSentence wins the WH, and Republicans sweep all houses. Abortion and birth control are banned nationwide by 2025. That's my prediction, locked in.

If he did that then the same ones would say “yea but he didn’t do enough on (insert topic here)” it’s already been this way with the democrat base for years. it’s takes a lot to motivate them. Unlike the gop base.

The Joe Biden that exists in only your mind and privileged DC staffers: The Joe Biden that exists to the people you're claiming are the true median voter: You are wrong. Your worldview of the world is wrong. Your dedication to Democratic leadership is wrong. How dare you insult any of us with a ******* modicum of self-respect or intelligence and tell us that we're simply asking for too much while you defend this CADAVER of a useless president who has done NOTHING for any of us and who has spent the past 2 years being unabashedly antagonistic to the people who got him elected??
rihannabiggestfan Posted July 10, 2022 Posted July 10, 2022 Hunter Biden is such corrupt and classless trash tho, I would be embarrassed if I were president and had a son like that

The issue is the hypocrisy in telling Democratic voters that they need to trust that leadership knows best when they claim weed can't be legal and healthcare can't be free even when the base wants such. The issue is framing the Democratic base as too demanding and having unrealistic goals and "wanting to wave a magic wand" while prioritizing appealing to and winning over groups who think Biden or Hillary or Obama molested kids or transported them as part of a giant sex ring or performed Satanic rituals. Biden will literally scold the group - voters under 35 - responsible for why he beat Trump while ending things like the extended CTC or expanded unemployment benefits *that benefit Dem voters more* to not alienate or upset white suburbanites who only have a 1-in-3 chance of voting for him anyway. Enough is enough. Edited July 10, 2022 by Communion

Enough is enough. I agree, and Biden literally deserves to lose for that (for not only going against his own base but also CONSTANTLY ATTACKING us. Even Trump isn't dumb enough to do BS like that). Biden is SO out-of-touch with his own party that he is essentially a Never-Trump Republican
phreshprince Posted July 10, 2022 Posted July 10, 2022 That's it! @Communion has made me realize that I should not vote, ever. I should not protest, ever. I should ***** on the internet and complain and watch everyone engage in stupid politics.

Jennifer Posted July 10, 2022 Posted July 10, 2022 What % of Hispanics and Asians do we think will vote R this time around?

Vermillion Posted July 10, 2022 Posted July 10, 2022 Just now, Jennifer said: What % of Hispanics and Asians do we think will vote R this time around? Please read both pieces here from Texas Monthly and The Seattle Times in the original post. This November? Great question seeing as their numbers were up for Trump in 2020. So the question is will it carry over and especially for first-time party switchers that question is a really messy gray area there's not consistent data on. More likely than not, history indicates, some will carry over, but only a small minority, whereas the majority of those that switched for the first time likely won't vote at all. And that's not because they've switched parties back again, but they haven't been as loyal to that party which tends to correlate with lower turn-out in off cycles. Also depends on the state, the rep and the issue on the table. Neither Hispanics nor Asians are a monolith, a lesson Dems haven't learned at all. Tejanos and Cubanos may be strongly pro-life but a lot of other inner city Latinos and Latinas (especially Puerto Ricans) are decidedly pro-choice, at least according to the data I've read. The blanket radio ads on Cuban radio in Miami blaring conspiracies about socialism in Fall 2020 got a ton of political press which completely contradicted their overwhelming support for $15 an hour which makes me think a lot of it comes down to resentment from Latino residents against other other illegal immigrants (despite possibly being illegal at one point themselves as well) as well as the concept a lot of political scientists have tracked of a lot of Latinos identifying as white as a cultural signifier and defensive mechanism as mentioned above. As for Asians, the recent data I have is that Vietnamese-Americans are much, much more socially conservative than a lot of other Asian-American groups, just as one example, while as another example, Indian-Americans are pretty much evenly split. I may be wrong on that.
ClashAndBurn Posted July 10, 2022 Posted July 10, 2022 So NOW we’re allowed to talk about Biden’s obvious cognitive decline without it being decried as immoral?

One of the most bizarre parts of the 2020 election was that his campaign made half of the country believe that he had a stutter and that’s why he had difficulties talking. Even though 6 years ago he was speaking in full sentences as VP. That branding tactic worked on me, I was crying when they had that 10 year old with a stutter speak the the Democrat convention
