Weird it's like they are having a hard time finding criminals.

The Way Too Early 2028 Democratic Presidential Candidate Thread
Thatguy replied to Bullneck's topic in Cloak Room
The bases of the parties ARE different. However, when you do things like the 94 crime bill the R's come right back and remind brown people that Biden was the guy who put that together. Then you a good chunk of your minority vote in 2020 and 2024. The Republicans also throw the economy at the feet of the Dems because the cost of goods skyrocketed when you were in office. Being a centrist we did little to help on that front. The market was good, sure, but the layman doesn't pay attention to the market. Biden, being a conservative Dem, didn't show enough outrage for the little person, and that is why we are where we are. Do you think if AOC was President she wouldn't be screaming at the top of her lungs about the cost of goods? Do you think she wouldn't be trying to put pressure on entities like Kroger, who admitted to price gouging? The people we have put in office have not been focused on the layman, and that is why we've lost them. Instead, we allowed the R's to point at minorities and blame them for the mess and get the hillbillies all riled up. -
The Way Too Early 2028 Democratic Presidential Candidate Thread

1980-Jimmy Carter 1984-Walter F. Mondale 1988-Michael S. Dukakis 1992-Bill Clinton 1996-Bill Clinton 2000-Al Gore 2004-John F. Kerry 2008-Barack Obama 2012-Barack Obama 2016-Hillary Clinton 2020-Joe Biden 2024-Kamala Harris We have largely been running the "straight white male" playbook for 40 years. The only two times it worked was when the candidate was damn near a Republican. Those choices have gotten us where we are. The difference between the parties has become so barely distinguishable it allows the Republicans to use "identity politics" to differentiate between the two. No more of that shit. We need to energize the apathetic voter to come out and participate like Obama did or our politics will never change. Ever. -
Moved the conversation over here for obvious reasons- First and foremost pivoting to different wording isn't going to work. You DO understand that this isn't about a demographic that is fatigued with the attention paid to marginalized groups, right? This is a political party that wants to eradicate what they see as inferior humans. They are starting with what they feel they can get away with. Erasing of black history. Using DEI to push black people out of high level spaces. Attacking brown immigration, specifically Hispanics. They are starting here because it's what can work at the current juncture. Once they further erode the constitution they will come for the citizens next. We are 6 months in and they are at full on war with the Judicial. They want this land straight and white, and they want to consolidate power into the hands of the president who will create policy that the ruling class wants. If they could get away with lining all the marginalized group in front of a firing squad they would. That being said if you are the Dems you don't take one step backwards only to be seen as "they are both the same". You hold your ground or you lose this country entirely. Every step backwards you take is another step to normalize this bullshit agenda they are pushing. Next thing you know 1939 Germany. We learned that lesson these last 10 years with Trump. When he first popped on the scene with his bullshit, he was the only one that was playing the shock and awe, cruelty is the point, insult you to your face, out in the open racist bullshit. Now look. The entire Republican party is that now. Why? Because we allowed it, and now there are no normal politics. Draw the fucking line in the sand and stand 10 toes down on it. Retreating is not an option. Turning our backs on marginalized groups to attract moderate Rs is not an option.

Weird hill to die on. You cannot see the benefits teaching diversity and inclusion would have on not only your employees but how they treat the customers that come through the doors? Fuck a study. Never heard the phrase silence is collusion? -

I am glad you took the time to type this out. So many times I starting typing out posts like this but don't want to be the guy always responding to this topic. It's funny how many people used to tell you to back off the ledge. Now they are praising you for being correct. There are still a few holdovers, but keep on pressing the line. You've been dead on thus far. I appreciate you! -

Teach them to be mobile and how to leverage moves to their benefit. If you wait to have a family you can do well for yourself taking advantage of opportunities others cannot. -

A couple things- This board is an outlet. In war you might be scared but it doesn't stop you from fighting. People on this board are out here in these streets kicking ass and being successful. We are just venting about the day to day frustrations of our country's, and sometimes the world's, politics. Take me for example. My mom, like a lot of African Americans from her era, never owned a home. In a single generation we went from no home ownership to all of us owning our own home, with me owning a house where if you turn right out of my driveway and drive 1/8 a mile, turn left, drive another 1/8, and turn right, you will be looking at a 15k sq ft house. No one is folding up the tent. That said, this is a board of educated people. When you learn what you did to this country's indigenous. When you learn why we actually fight wars or the puppet regimes we've put in place around the globe to serve our own interest. When you learn the steps this country has taken to keep a thumb on the head of its people. When you know how the country has legislated itself to protect the elite. When you have the means to travel and hear how people outside this country feel about us. When you work in places that are multinational and your colleague sits down and has a beer with you and lets loose about his world view. When you are old enough to see the same things that didn't work 40 years ago tried again and again. When you studied enough to know history and have to sit by and watch people "touch the stove". When you know all that, you need a place to let off a little steam, and thank the lord for this place. -

I stand by the theory that this is what happened to Trump at some point. -

Maybe it has something to do with, oh you know, the backdoor phone calls to Putin and Netanyahu asking them not to cooperate so that he would be back in office. Or did you forget that part? You know how Reagan did. -

That's the thing Mac. A lot of these folks recently weren't actually undocumented. They were here on some type of program that got canceled because reasons. Trump's last day in office he granted asylum to Venezuelans. I am sure he did it to fuck with Biden but he let in a shit ton of the very people he is now deporting. Haitians came the right way. A ton of other people came the right way. -

Lol. Any black person that has done well for themselves knows what Brisket here said is dead on balls accurate. You're one of the good ones. "You are so well spoken". They have it in their heads that everyone else is ignorant and a criminal. Just one or two good ones. -

My daughter refused to entertain any recruiters from traditional red states for college volleyball. She is headed to a blue state for school. We saw it as an opportunity to vacate Texas as a family. So we will see how that goes but we are also looking at properties outside the country. If things start to really hit the fan me and my daughter are out(the brown ones) and my wife will stay and close up shop. -
This part reminds me of a conversation I had. I have a friend who was talking about no tax on tips. I told him it was Republicans shenanigans, simply a loophole they can exploit. When he disagreed I told him if they really wanted to help tipped workers, how about eliminating "tipped minimum wage". ...........Silence.

Isn't it weird though? We've been running the trickle down experiment for over 40 years now. Why are people still voting for it?

True as this is, that stretch from WW2 to 1980 man. We almost had it. Peaking in the 1960's. Housing construction was still pretty good. Almost everything we churned out in the automotive world was fuckin awesome. Equality was heading in the right direction. That's when the south rose up, and politicians rode that wave all the way to current times if you think about it. Sometimes I think to myself, what if Reagan never came along. That dude, even though more polite and charismatic, did far more damage than Trump is doing.

What's crazy about this country is the motherfuckers that came over here, came here because they weren't shit where they came from. They got here and a couple years in, here come the Irish and Sicilians. Now they hate those dirty Irish and Italians. A Few years later here come the Chinese, and the Blacks were set free. All the sudden the Irish and Italians get folded into the "white" box in order to gang up on those dirty yellows, reds, and browns. Now the Jews want in, but we would rather let the dude in Germany kill them all rather then let in those shifty Jews. The truth is none of us were shit or we wouldn't have left where we came from. That's the funniest thing about it. Now we wanna puff out our chest as if any of us are from some Aristocrats. Fuck out of here.

Naw bra! Olds vote. Olds should have enough experience to quit falling for the okie-doke. I think I was about 7 when I first started screaming at Wile E. Coyote to quit falling for the Roadrunner's shit every Saturday. That's how I feel when I look at this country.
