  1. Yeah, what part was it Biden wanting to be presidential and what part of it was it his advanced age, but he needed to hammer things, his student loan forgiveness was crushed by the courts, A) it should have been a more universal loan forgiveness, B) keep fucking hammering the point go on all cameras angry about how the government is against the people that only he was on their side. Getting cockblocked by the courts and congress can STILL be a win if you message accordingly if you go populist. You also have the luxury of trying again and again just in different ways maybe it is no longer loan forgiveness but tax credits 100% proportional to the loan amount. Keep this in the news! That said it should have been doubling the minimum wage, try universal loan forgiveness but the former is far more popular and republicans would have always opposed it but he could have done double it on march and rebuffed, 2.1x on April and rebuffed, 2.2x on May and rebuffed, 2.3x on Jun then maybe Republicans learn they are getting murdered in the polls and pass this. As to why did he not do this? because one of the legacy metrics by presidential historians is "getting along with congress/passing shit" that was his north star, his historical legacy. Getting rebuffed by congress on populist stuff was against his goals, and now we all are going to pay for it.
  2. I want the tariffs to go through, his universal tariffs such a clownshow that it will ONLY raise prices and fuel inflation, the laughable idea that clothes manufacturing will return to the US is so god damn ridiculous, even if by some miracle it does happen it will be shit low wage paying jobs or robots doing it.
  3. I don't think so, not all the way, he could have endorsed the clown early and often instead he half assed an endorsement at the 11th hour, he could have not corrected Trump 4 times about Harris ducking his interview. The problem is he was a coward that refused to do what is right, instead cowtowed to his audience and the usual naive idea that you can influence Donald Trump in a quid pro quo, you can't. I have come to the conclusion that there was absolutely nothing that could have been done in 2024 or even 2023 to prevent the Trump disaster, the endorsements were meaningless, the debates were meaningless (How many times did I say this? Kamala won hers by 66%... meaningless), the donations were meaningless, our fate was sealed in 2022 at the latest with the obsession to fall into the inflation Willy E Coyote trap.
  4. The absolute worst part is that I don't see us moving away from it, there was too much god damn push back towards populism immediately after the election, I like Bernie but he needs to push harder and harder, the corpocrats are still in control. Raising minimum wage was a hallmark of middle class growth that the Biden administration did not hammer that again and again and again and again is downright criminal. This has the added advantage that Republicans are allergic to it so they won't copy a dramatic increase in the minimum wage. This is the universal truth about the US economy, the rich will be rich and everyone else will provide them with a service, manufacturing is gone finito fin, Chips act is fine but everything else is just a waste of time, make sure those service jobs pay well and you will have a happy population, let these service jobs enter into poverty and you have the hallmarks for desperate upheaval.
  5. Biden is a great legacy president, the problem is we did not need a legacy president, that period is long over, we need someone who recognizes a neo nazi threat, we needed an FDR or hell even a Churchill, instead we got a Pierce or Buchanon.
  6. They had their reverse jan 6 over there when their Trump like president declared martial law and banned the legislature from meeting, they had the power to reverse martial law and had to be helped to climb walls and enter the national assembly, which they did and reversed his power grab. It certainly is a blue print to follow, we are now in the "prevent dictatorship at any cost" phase, this includes being ready at a second's notice to protest everywhere all at once when it inevitably happens, will we or are we too hauty to camp out in the freezing cold?
  7. Watch Trump do handouts in 2028 and run for a third unconstitutional term, if by some miracle the SCOTUS elminates the ammendent and Barak runs and wins, watch him doom us by doing austerity to clean up the Trump mess, never again, ever do what your dishonest opponent wants, even it is the right thing to do, instead do the right thing that is adjacent to what they want.
  8. It is ENRAGING, Biden was a a double agent for Trump, I will never let this assertion die, he was a legacy/civilty obssessed moron that doomed us, he is along with Buchanon, Johnson, and Pierce as the absulete worst presidents in US history because he put his head in the sand. Yes I know Trump is #1 worst but it is not the issue the issue is that people bled for Joe Biden and he fucking betrayed us for his god damn legacy.
  9. Its a lie a filthy fucking lie, he is a guilt ridden mf that wants to use any excuse to say whatever the fuck to sleep better at night. At the end of the day we can't overthink shit ever again, Waltz was the most popular of the 4 he was a great pick the fundamentals were sound the failure came in limiting his rural populism, instead to asking him to be a "male role model" I really can't overstate how fucked we are that we allow the progressive media to try to define masculinity.
  10. Ultimately there is no choice, kissing the ring was the right thing to do if you were behind, fucking unbelievable to me that they projected so much confidence knowing the real numbers. Look I make hold no illusions, and I thought it was best to stay away, but that was when I was blind to the internal survey disaster. you stay away if you are ahead not if you are behind. Democrats have 0 inroads to the meathead population, not after supporting giga disasters like being on the idelogical side of Amber Heard (something like 95% of the population though she was guilty but the media still covered for her).
  11. Where are the Trump is a puppet of Musk political cartoons? we need a lot of them
  12. The people that cry hardest for free speech are actually arguing the opposite Rule of life #14
  13. DeSantis is better than a potential neo nazi for SecDef because he is eyeing Trumps job, we need the most amount of buffering between Project 2025 people and the military.
  14. That is why I am happy playing them every year we get 3 days a year when they lose to satan and are all jumping off a bridge. Then three nights later are getting on the roller coaster again.
  15. Yeah them censoring aggy turned plausible deniability brilliant in destroying any URL linking to shaggybevo. Wonder if surly is also censored or something.
  16. Economics is not a real science, it is all a fucking lie, yes I do believe that Kamala's entrepreneurial economy is not a disaster maybe even the adult thing to promise but it is fucking allergic, the common worker wants better salaries, that was it, they did not care that eggs are now at $4 a dozen, they wanted to earn $20 an hour to offset it with 15 minutes of work. Democrats keep going to the austerity well and it fucking kills me. If we are all going down lets at least be the ones in power not the ones sniffing our own farts with a superiority complex. I always knew that being the goldman and sachs candidate was poison, but I always believed the revulsion of DJT was enough to delay the thumping, nope... dead wrong, people really are that stupid that they hate the man but still think he is going to lift them out of poverty they just pinched their nose, this is reason #1, #2, and #3 we lost.
  17. Needles are kinda thin.
  18. Exactly it is not as easy as just lying, we need to cut out the MSM though they are 120% in the corpocrat side, their tent is to keep the corporation happy so no more CNN, MSNBC, et all treat them as elites out of touch.
  19. Inflation was the absolute most disgusting trap and we fell for it hook line and sinker, it is like they set up this Willy E Coyote painted train tunnel and we ran head first into it. The fundamentals is that REAL salaries are dropping, if these rise it does not matter what inflation really is you still get a decade or two of fucking peace. Instead we ran head first into austerity and then we wonder why Biden was not popular. He could have been 110 and still won if he did not value his legacy above doing what should have been his #1 job, keep the traitor out.
  20. You can still appeal to emotion and not lie, Trump lying about tariffs being paid by China is a clear lie, but saying that you will increase real salaries for working families by for example doubling minimum wage is a partial truth, perhaps unsustainable in the medium to long term but enough to have seen him go away. At the end of the day democrats messaging went from BBB, to austerity THIS ALWAYS HAPPENS and that is why we get crushed by the absolute trash of this earth, it should have gone from BBB in year one to double down with handouts and promises for the working class, Poverty IS rising we need to drill down to people on who did this to them, and that is our only ticket to finally end the "republicans are better for the economy" murderball. Even if inflation rises even if the macro indicators are sluggish, the number 1 goal was to prevent the orange ball from power and they chose to follow the corpocrats and chase never trumpers.
  21. It's a delicate balance, I still don't think becoming liars is a winning strategy and at the end of the day we still have almost everyone that is logical and factual on our tent, but we have to stop avoiding the clearest of all realities we have to embrace populism and push politics everywhere all at once, the United States is in an economic/republic decline not unlike what Rome went through, we absolutely need to jetison the policy wonks, the adults in the room because while I think 40-45% are irredeemable (hateful ideocracy), that is not why the election was lost it was lost because of the detached ideocracy. That is assuming our Ceasar is not successful at establishing the empire before he croaks.
  22. Yes, but we also fuck up on this forum with the no politics discussion on the football/recruiting board. If I could root cause the idiocracy this would probably be it something like 30% of the population absolute refuses to engage with the most important discussion of our lives but still gets to vote on election day and pat themselves on the back. I want everyone to to keep posting to these steelworkers every single day after their plant gets shut down that "them getting fired was the will of OUR republican president and that their sacrifice was worth it". That is how you get through to people, people are allergic to facts and logic, but people love emotion, well connect their emotional despair to Donald Trump.
  23. The biggest issue is not that they are idiots, we all knew that after the election, the real question is how do we communicate with these fucking idiots. There has to be an outreach program from day 1 on every moron that avoids politics 47/95 months every 4/8 years
