Running Through Walz to Fix America - Democratic VP Nominee
- 2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.
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 arenāt MAGA fanatics because he comes across as a regular guy we all know. I know some people have a hard time believing itās true, but some Trump voters can be swayed to the other side with right type of messaging. Iām not talking about the MAGA voters who are flat earther die hard Trump cock riders, Iām 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 heās 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 whatās 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.- Trap.

I actually thought Shyamalanās daughter was a decent actress because she was just doing a portrayal of a Gen Z character. But Iām biased since I think Gen Z is full of no talent hacks who canāt act or sing. And I thought Josh Hartnettās daughter looked just like Mimi-Siku from Jungle 2 Jungle.- RFK Jr. off the chain and off his rocker

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 theyāre voting in the complete opposite of their best interests.- Thing$ $till not going well for Joe Rogan, I $ee.
Hereās 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
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 Iām out I canāt support this dude any longer. And thatās what the Dems have been missing on their side for so many years.- Running Through Walz to Fix America - Democratic VP Nominee
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 thatās the environment heās in and thatās 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 ādamn, thatās fucked upā 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 donāt give a shit about that and weāre 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 donāt live in fear, and safe schools where children donāt 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 letās come together to work out the disagreements so we can live our lives and enjoy this country together the best way we can.- Thing$ $till not going well for Joe Rogan, I $ee.

For a second I thought he was gonna say Shapiro was ābuilding bridgesā to unite people with his āopen beachesā of ideas. But, you know.- 2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.
I donāt disagree with your sentiment that people who vote for Trump are ādeludedā and making choices that are not based in reality. Iām just venting that it sucks ass that these deluded people are all around us intertwined in our lives and itās really fucking with my perception of the things that I love. I think less of my sister who supports Trump and I try not to sit next to her during holiday dinners because I donāt want to hear much of anything she has to say. I think less of Quinn Ewers for supporting Trump and donāt want to buy one of his jerseys even though I support the entire team. I will never actively root against my sister or Quinn Ewers based on their support for Trump, but I do have a tendency to unfairly question their decision making skills when shit doesnāt go as planned for them just because they are Trump supporters (which, ironically, is a deluded way of thinking). I donāt want to think like this because itās just generalization that has nothing to do with supporting Trump, but unfortunately thatās the way my mind works. The level of delusion exhibited by Trump has caused me to view his supporters in the same way because it is incomprehensible that anyone could support him. And itās sad because thatās the type of thinking that Trump supporters have about us from their side of the aisle.- 2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.
As much as I agree with the fact that people voting for Trump are ādeludedā it is hard for me to reconcile this notion when it is associated with people and things that I love. These ādeludedā people are our families, parents, brothers and sisters, neighbors, church leaders, coworkers, and even players representing the University of Texas on the field. Family, work, church, and football are NOT politics and I will never turn my back on people for supporting Donald Trump, but I do privately question the values and morals of people who choose to support a man that is a disgusting, disrespectful, racist human being. Iāll always support my family and Texas football, itās just sad that an asshole like Trump has me rethinking where I should be sitting at the dinner table or what jerseys I want to spend money on.- 2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.

I really wish they did a āCat Men for Kamalaā too because my parents BOTH became cat people a few years after I left home for college. Everyone just assumes all the cats are my Momās when my dad is the one who keeps adding more cats into the mix. Not trying to make a blanket judgment (even though I am), but childless men who have cats are much more likely to be normal dudes because they know how to take care of another living being while incels without cats spend most of their time online fawning over every stupid move Elon and Trump make.- Thing$ $till not going well for Joe Rogan, I $ee.
You must believe everything you see on the internet like Joe Rogan. That picture of the wrong time was clearly a photoshop. This picture shows the right time on his wrist when you zoom in.- Trap. Or "Why does M. Knight Shyamalan keep getting allowed to make movies?"

Rogan is a piece of shit and I think heās a low key white supremacist. I remember listening to his podcast when I was trapped in my brotherās car and Rogan was laughing about some show where John Mulaney was secretly a Nazi and had a room full of Nazi memorabilia. I remember Rogan saying that some of that Nazi shit was āpretty coolā and he had his own collection too, and the guest was like āwhy?!?ā and Rogan changed gears quickly saying because it was a great historical record of the war. Once Rogan got the Spotify deal they went back and edited it out of his podcast like he never said it. And the piece of shit Rogan has been very good friends with Alex Jones for over twenty years and has let him back on the podcast many times even after he was deplatformed from YouTube and Twitter for all the Sandy Hook bullshit.- JD Vance Fucked 5 couches as a hillbilly, then went on to kill the pope
