Message added by Lee!!,

It was decided based on feedback from the spring 2023 town hall to transition this thread back to being election specific. With the Civics section being able to house specific threads on many issues, we think having a generalized politics thread is not completely necessarily anymore. 
 

With that said, please continue to be respectful and remember that you do not always need to respond to everyone.

Our country is a joke.

 

If Biden picked Doug Jones for attorney general as was widely rumored instead of Federalist Society member Merrick Garland out of a guilt trip for Mitch's ****ery we very likely wouldn't even be having this conversation.

 

What is even the point of this reporting? To emphasize the cases are gone once he's in? Motivate more fear in the base for this admin's mistakes? Until inauguration - yes, no **** Sherlock.

Oh god this woman. Last I heard from her she was defending the rights of companies making faulty lumbersaws cutting off worker's hands.

 

She's not taking any brave stance in WA-3 which has always been an R+5 district. She doesn't have a choice, really, to say this, but I've always been so sick of her BS so she's not getting my kudos.

Speaking of Tapper 💀

As always the goal posts keep moving 🥅 

The media is for sure to me now suspicious. Every post just being an entire fear mongering false piece. I was JUST saying how this year has been tamer than normal even as early as it is for an election year. But I see we are in full annoying swing as always if not worse 💀

Never been a fan for his anti abortion stance. And yes, he's a likely source.

On one hand this is funny. But on the other this is a very likely scenario. I brought it up a few pages ago but another user laughed it off 🤷

Yeah it's absolutely wild to me that centrist Dems are pulling the EXACT same "don't believe what you can literally see with your own eyes" gaslighting nonsense that MAGAts try to pull when they make their half-assed pitches about how January 6 was just a cute peaceful stroll through the Capitol.

 

The reason why that characterization of January 6 has never resonated with people outside of the core MAGA base is because there was live footage of January 6 that millions of people directly watched. We saw first-hand that windows were smashed, police officers were attacked, barricades were pushed over and walls were scaled. Your story is never going to sell among those who aren't in a cult when it directly contradicts people's personal firsthand accounts.

 

And yet... now the Democrats are trying the exact same thing but with Biden's age and senility :deadbanana2: The word salad excuses and desperate justifications for why Biden's age isn't a problem are never going to resonate with people because they contradict what people are seeing first hand. You can't use middle school debate club tactics to persuade someone that they're wrong to be concerned about Biden's age when they've personally witnessed Biden fail to get through basic sentences, constantly appear as though he's lost his train of thought, and stare blankly as if he doesn't know where he is. 

 

That's why I roll my eyes every time a #Resist lib melts down over Biden's age being a "fabricated media story" or whatever. It's a real concern that real people have based on what they're personally observing with their senses. You can scream "but Trump's technically only 3 years younger!!!" into the void as much as you want. It doesn't matter. People know that, but they've seen how Trump delivers basic oral remarks and they've seen how Biden delivers basic oral remarks and there's a glaring difference to anyone with eyes and ears. It's insulting to suggest otherwise.

 

I can't remember who it was, but one of the main electoral politics pundits on Twitter said that campaigns can't campaign based on where they want voters to be - they have to campaign where voters currently are. And polls have shown that voters have repeatedly expressed for years now that they view Biden's age and cognitive abilities as a serious concern. That's the reality of the race, and the Dems either have to adequately respond to that reality or ignore it and lose.
