Good, can we get MI6 to meddle in our elections?

He's having real problems. Batter up. -
I’ve got some jingle in my stable’s jangle now. Bought a Guild F-1512 b-stock/demo and I can’t tell why it would have ever been returned. Spruce top, rosewood back and sides. Sounds glorious and plays… well, it plays like a long scale 12 string jumbo acoustic, lol.

2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.
Goredho replied to bolverk's topic in Cloak Room
Sure, but of the people I know that are centrists and independents (and that's most people I know), I think all of them would vote for Kamala over Trump. If it's Trump vs Biden, I think most of them stay home. I mean, there are no great options at this point. Nothing ideal. Biden suddenly and alarmingly being unfit to continue to be candidate is something that should have been game planned for years ago. It wasn't (fuck you Dems). So, given that, what's the most likely to succeed of the Dem's shitty options? It isn't this: As for the coffers of fairy dust and unicorn farts, yeah, that's why I am picking Kamala as the least shitty alternative to the shittiest option of staying the course. Has it been discussed whether she could stay VP and someone else take over as the Presidential nominee without all the fundraising issues of a completely new ticket? Also, why can't Biden now just issue an executive order declaring any laws that make swapping candidates financially problematic null and void? 😜 -

If Biden stays the nominee, he's going to have a magnifying glass on him to catch anything he does that might be attributable to age/dementia/cognitive decline. He's got to be perfect at impersonating a 60 year old man the rest of the way. Given what I saw in the debate, he can't do that, and when he inevitably fails, the reaction will be worse than what you see now and any preceding moments of energetic lucidity won't matter. There is blood in the water, and the sharks have taken notice. What I hope happens: He bows out with some dignity intact, Kamala is the nominee, she channels Obama as a candidate and people have a different choice than criminal vs AZ patient. Independent voters are begging for a different choice and they will respond favorably. Her race and gender will work against her only with people that were already going to vote Trump. For everyone not a zealot for either party, they just want to see a viable candidate to vote for. They dislike and vaguely fear Trump and want to vote for another option that is fit to be President -- except there isn't one. Not after Biden's debate performance. If we want to avoid what is coming with a 2nd Trump Presidency this is the only shot. Make Kamala the nominee and immediately challenge Trump to a new debate. When he refuses, make it known far and wide that Donald Trump is a chickenshit criminal who is terrified of debating a black woman. "Black Woman" is only a negative to racists and misogynists. Use what they despise as a strength and expose Trump as the candidate for racism and misogyny. That certainly won't win him any new votes. Dems will win in a landslide. -

Maybe, but is it inaccurate? I mean, everyone is saying Kamala can't be who takes over for Biden because she's black and/or a woman and won't win. None of which matters to me personally when deciding on who I'll vote for, but if it matters to the populace, then clearly her vice presidency was an idea whose time had not yet come. -

Assuming everything you say could be proved to be true, and I don't really have reason to believe they wouldn't, the situation the Dems find themselves in is even more maddening. 1. Their candidate Methuselah is someone who has aged out of being able to campaign much less be a defender of democracy against a would-be despot 2. The least invasive alternative would be to replace him with the young VP, but they are an unviable candidate because they are a social experiment 3. There are other bright young stars in the party that would be viable candidates, but they cannot be considered because that will piss off the people who wanted the social experiment as VP 4. There is no coherent strategy and there are no contingencies. We are just asked to remain calm, give them a vote and enjoy the band as democracy capsizes. 5. When voters register their alarm, democrats call them morons and idiots for daring to wonder WTF is going on and not just voting mindlessly None of those are the fault of Trump, the GOP, Fox News, Russia, CNN or dumb voters. Those are all damming self-owns by the Democratic party and their constituents. The only bright side I see at this point with what is looking like an increasingly likely Trump victory is that the leadership if not the whole of the Democratic party goes away. Adios, motherfuckers. Then hopefully something less impotently shitty can replace them/it. -

https://politicalwire.com/2024/07/02/most-think-democrats-have-better-chance-without-biden/ Most Think Democrats Have Better Chance Without Biden July 2, 2024 at 12:36 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard 485 Comments A new CNN poll finds three-quarters of voters say Democrats would have a better shot at holding the presidency in 2024 with someone other than Joe Biden at the top of the ticket. But let’s wait until after the Election to consider what voters think. There will be ample time for it in the gulag. -

Need is a very subjective term. I could make all the music I care to make with a superstrat, an acoustic guitar and a bass. But different guitars have different character when you aren’t dimed, and they inspire you in different ways. I pick up my Tele and play it through a fender tweed and start to think, play and write differently than I would with my PRS with a 13k bridge humbucker into a dual rectifier.

Yeah, but who lobbied for Citizen’s United? Was it Bernie Sanders? Or some capitalist taking the next step in a long series of steps to protect capitalistic interests over the societal good? I totally agree capitalism itself is not inherently evil, but many of the capitalists in this country are evil (as your previous post called out) and they are the ones who push for things like citizens united. I think “Capitalism” gets the blame for the actions of “wanton capitalists” that see any regulation or counterbalance as a threat.

Yep, I guess the bright side is that their impotence in the face of destruction may give rise to something more effectual as an oppositional force to fascism. -

I get that the building's engulfed in flames, Fire Marshall Grandpa is fumbling with the fire hose trying to figure out which end to hold and that you and the Democratic party are telling us no one else more capable can take the fire hose from Grandpa to attempt to put out the fire. Because Grandpa was elected Fire Marshall and there are no contingencies for replacing him when he inevitably got too old to perform and so we all just have to be patient with him as we're incinerated. That is a bullshit and unacceptable answer. -

Yep, I care about one thing this election -- defeating the rise of fascism. I don't give a shit about Biden, how great he should be viewed given what he has accomplished or how things would be if we had an intelligent and educated populace. There's the way the world should be and there's the way the world is. Dems and people here need to quit operating as if the world is as it should be and start operating as to how the world really is. Too many voters think the Dem option is an escaped dementia patient. Because he acted like one. Live. On national TV. While juxtaposed against his Fascist opponent that was free to spew his propaganda to voters. Grandpa stood there on the right drooling on himself and then acted confused and befuddled when he had the opportunity to respond. I wish the voters weren't stupid. I wish the media were more willing to challenge the lies. I wish Trump wasn't a narcissistic aspiring despot. I wish the Supreme Court wouldn't be his air cover in the judicial system. I wish Republicans weren't willing to risk it all to achieve some ultimate ideological victory. I wish there wasn't a well-oiled and unified machine operating to dispose of democracy in this country. But what I wish and what is are not the same thing. Those are all part of the context of reality that we find ourselves in that won't be changed between now and November. So given that reality, what the fuck are you going to do about it, Democrats? Playing this prevent defense to protect JoeB while already behind in the 2nd half isn't going to work. -

So am I, I just have no confidence that this guy that we saw in the debate... ...is going to be equipped to defeat the rise of fascism, and I'm pissed at the opposition party for offering this cadaver up as the best they can muster as a defense for Democracy. Did he call out any of Trump's lies when given the opportunity to be his fact checker in the debate? Maybe late, but not before anyone turned off the shit show. I hope to hell I am wrong about Joe's ability to win. -
This is the worst fallout of the Trump presidency and why Putin and anyone who wants to see a weakened America loves him. He's a chaos monkey stress test for our country's democratic norms. He's basically called everything established over 200+ years of presidential conduct into question. He exposes the weakness and fragility in our Federal government, the judicial system and the idea of checks and balances and shared power. He makes everyone lose faith that our government "of the people for the people" is anything but a sham. The power associated with governance is for whoever wants to seize it provided they can get their allies in the right places to lower the decaying gates protecting American democracy.

There is probably no way to have a non-CR discussion about it, but after last night's Presidential debate, I am strongly of the opinion that both political parties need to be added to the pile of things that have become irredeemably enshittified. -

Yep, on one side you have crazy people who believe the 2020 election was rigged and on the other you have crazy people pretending that JoeB is not a flawed candidate and that last night was not detrimental to his campaign. Arguing with either of those groups is pointless. They are both fucking nuts. But hey, as long as the echoes keep reverberating in the chamber, we must be winning. Right? Right?? -
The WAY too early June Presidential Debate thread
Goredho replied to Biff Tannen's topic in Cloak Room
They don't have to be perfect. They have to be coherent. And your condescension of the average American is part of the problem. Their vote, ignorant though it may be, counts just as much as yours or mine. The dems cannot write them off unless they want to guarantee a Trump 2.0. They have to win those people's votes, and they are there waiting to be won. But the guy that muddled through the debate last night guy isn't going to get that done. He's going to lose. Bigly. And if that happens, I hope your condescension of stupid voters is of some comfort to you as Project 2025 is enacted.
