If Tim Walz can help get these types of people to vote for Kamala, it’s gonna be a landslide. He already did it for himself in Minnesota. -

It’s like if Ron DeSantis put on a JD Vance skin. I hate to say it, but JD Vance makes Ted Cruz look “cool” and “with it.” That gives me the chills so I might just fly to Cancun now. -
2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.

No disrespect to Kamala Harris, but I was more excited about Barack’s campaign in 2008. I was in my 20s and I was disillusioned because the war killed some of my friends and family while those who returned were not the same as before. My last year of grad school wasn’t so exciting because the job market sucked and the economy was in the toilet. I was worried about finding a job and having health insurance after I left school and could no longer get coverage through UT. Barack Obama gave me hope he was going to fix things and stop perpetuating the lies the Bush administration fed to us after 9/11. Obama promised to end the war in Iraq and pushed for health insurance to keep people on their parents’ plan until age 26. Looking back, I know the excitement I felt for Obama in 2008 is what young and olds feel for Kamala today. My key issues regarding the war and health insurance back in 2008 are how people feel now about reproductive rights, medical privacy, and gun control. Yes, I was more excited about Barack back then, but the excitement I felt was rooted in my belief he would be the savior to all the problems the Bush administration created. The Harris-Walz ticket feels different. I don’t view them as “saviors” who came down to help guide us through the fog the way I felt with Obama. I view Harris-Walz as people I grew up with who also happen to be in high ranking positions of power. Harris is like someone I can call up and say hey, “pick Tim Walz for VP” and she would actually listen. The Harris-Walz campaign feels like regular people. Just me and you and the neighbors down the street who also happen to be politicians coming together to defeat a terrible monster who is rotting the country from the inside out. The issues today are bigger and more life changing this time around, but my excitement level is tempered because I just can’t get it up as high 16 years later. -

The GOP will never get past MAGA unless Trump is dead. If they couldn’t drop him after J6 AND 34 FELONIES, they aren’t dropping him after 2 losses in a row. -

Celine: I did not authorize the Trump campaign to use my song. This song has already been used as the soundtrack for one major American catastrophe and I do not wish to lend it to another. -

Odds on Taylor Swift endorsing Kamala? I know this is an unpopular opinion but I don’t think she will openly support the ticket if it hurts her economic bottom line. My MAGA sister and her kids are huge Swifties, but they also love Trump more and would probably start burning all her merchandise if she supported Harris. But knowing them, they’d probably just re-buy all the shit they torched after the election is over so it would theoretically still put more money in Taylor’s pocket. -

The tampon issue is fucking dumb. MAGA is clutching their pearls at the sight of feminine products in the men’s room, but they fail to see the utility tampons provide men in times of need. Don Jr would benefit from shoving a tampon up his bloody nose after getting punched in the face or snorting an 8 ball off a toilet seat. -
Bye bye CrossFit? Man dies during CrossFit games
MrBig replied to Jive Turkey's topic in Daily Texan
A lot of people I know who were into CrossFit 10 years ago are some of the fattest people I know today. During COVID they didn’t know how to exercise at home like normal human beings because they were used to flailing around on pull up bars at the gym. They said fuck it and channeled all their CrossFit energy into sitting on the couch for 12 hours a day watching TikTok videos and drinking from their gigantic oversized cups. -

“I still think it's Beshear... He makes way to much sense... and talk of Shapiro / Walz just throwing things off.” Oh my god every user posting this quote had their account created on March 25, 2018 as if some Ice Station Zebra Associate told them to post it to Surly in a coordinated effort to influence Kamala Harris and steer this election in a different direction with her VP pick.

These dudes want Shapiro, and Shapiro it shall be. They were wishcasting hard for Biden to step down when it was a just a pipe dream so I’m inclined to believe what they have to say despite my personal feelings on who I really want the VP Pick to be.

Running Through Walz to Fix America - Democratic VP Nominee

My dream over explanatory thread title for Walz: To the Window, To the Walz - Til the Potential VP Pick Can Change My Air Filter With an Inexpensive Piece of Non-OEM Equipment Just as Good as the Real Thing to Stop the Sweat From Dripping Off My Balls -
Walz riding the Slingshot at the Minnesota State Fair with his daughter. How many 59 year olds would do this? He is truly a real dude who wants to embrace happiness without being a phony.

Do Trump voters know Trump is a bad person though? MAGA believes MAGA talking points because there is not someone convincing enough on the other side to make them think otherwise. Not all Trump voters are MAGA, and I believe these non-MAGA types of people can be persuaded to vote against Trump if the right message can be delivered. This is why I am pushing so hard for a guy like Tim Walz because I think he can connect with voters who vote Trump but aren’t MAGA fanatics because he comes across as a regular guy we all know. I know some people have a hard time believing it’s true, but some Trump voters can be swayed to the other side with right type of messaging. I’m not talking about the MAGA voters who are flat earther die hard Trump cock riders, I’m talking about regular people who vote for Trump because they are influenced by their families or churches or workplaces that lean heavy into the Republican Party like military and police officers. All some people need is a regular dude who just tells them hey, Trump is a bad dude and he’s not helping this country come together to help us solve our problems. You may disagree with us, but vote for us so we can work together to fix what’s wrong instead of voting for Trump who has absolutely no plan for anything. All they hear is that Trump is an existential threat to our Democracy and should be stopped. The existential threat to democracy argument is not going to sway these people to vote against Trump even if ruining democracy is the strongest argument that can be presented. Cutting Trump voters off entirely is a great way to remove negativity from our lives, but it does little for bringing people together to solve our problems. The best hope we have is to fine tune our messaging with candidates like Walz to help people understand how voting against Trump is in their best interest without doing it in a forceful or dishonest way. -

Running Through Walz to Fix America - Democratic VP Nominee
MrBig replied to Biff Tannen's topic in Cloak Room
Shit like this is extremely frustrating because it is true, why would police and military veterans vote for a draft dodging felon? Because nobody in the Democratic Party has been able to reach voters like this ripe for the picking. Real guys like Tim Walz are the ones who can connect and make these people realize they’re voting in the complete opposite of their best interests. -
Here’s the clip. This made me become a huge fan of Bill Burr and stop thinking he was just another asshole from Boston.

Running Through Walz to Fix America - Democratic VP Nominee
MrBig replied to Biff Tannen's topic in Cloak Room
I understand this opinion but I think of it as like my brother being one of the last people to get on board with firing Mack Brown. Yeah he supported the guy staying on for another term but the rhetoric from Tim Walz is like the BYU game + Baylor loss that made people say okay I’m out I can’t support this dude any longer. And that’s what the Dems have been missing on their side for so many years. -
Running Through Walz to Fix America - Democratic VP Nominee
MrBig replied to Biff Tannen's topic in Cloak Room
Walz gives me hope. My brother is a Trump voter (but not MAGA fanatic) and he is the type of guy I think Walz can connect with. My brother votes Trump because he is a cop and a veteran so that’s the environment he’s in and that’s the way he thinks he should vote. But my brother also works with the homeless and domestic violence victims so he has compassion for people as well. When I explained to him what protestors were trying to do with Pence on January 6, he was like “damn, that’s fucked up” and I could see the gears clicking in his brain and realizing why people said Trump was trying to overthrow the government. A guy like Walz can make my brother realize that yeah, even though you were wrong about Trump and J6, we don’t give a shit about that and we’re not gonna throw that in your face. All we care about is you joining a coalition where we can strengthen the infrastructure of this country. We want to have safe roads to travel on, safe schools to send our children to, safe drinking water to drink and bathe with, safe air to breathe, safe communities where the homeless can be uplifted to succeed, safe homes where domestic violence victims don’t live in fear, and safe schools where children don’t fear gun violence. Trump has laid out absolutely nothing of a plan to help us achieve these goals as a country, so here is our plan and let’s come together to work out the disagreements so we can live our lives and enjoy this country together the best way we can.
