  1. I don't think it will be easy. But it will be easier than changing the minds of people who vote for Trump.
  2. That's fine. Still easier to get those votes.
  3. Truly believe we have to stop trying to appease Trump voters and "centrists". As I've said way too many times, that game is rigged. 90 million Americans didn't vote in the 2024 election. Focus on them, instead of trying to change the minds of a much smaller group of perceived gettable votes.. That is how you win IMO.
  4. All it would take is someone calling this theoretical candidate a "socialist" and no one would give a shit about their sports or pop culture takes. You're right that no one cares about policy, but still, everything has become political. We are in a culture and morality war that is rooted in a binary political choice. It sucks. I think we are past the point of this theory working. IMO things will just have to get so bad in this country that it's undeniable that Trumpism was a massive failure. To the point that people have no choice but to vote for the opposition party. You can't win the mouth breather vote until they feel a lot more pain. If we get to that point, better to have a candidate and administration that can legitimately govern instead of just re-arranging the deck chairs.
  5. Siri, play the hits from 2016.
  6. I was a little annoyed with the professionalism of the thread title, but Gil delivered with actual post. Rot in hell, Jimmy.
  7. Dem Hard 2: Dem Harder
  8. My reasoning is almost strictly emotional, though I don't think Amen and Giannis are the ideal fit together offensively. I simply do no want to completely flip over a young roster that was a 2 seed last year and has already set themselves as a championship contender right now.
  9. Mass shooter kills innocents. Mass shooter dead. What do people expect this thread to turn into at that point? Feels like some people are just mad this guy ended up being the poster child shooter instead of something "spicier".
  10. If the Rockets traded for Giannis, I would be fucking pissed. As in my 40 year fandom would take a big hit. We have made the necessary moves to compete for a title. I like our roster a lot. I'm gonna assume front office has no desire to trade for him until further notice.
  11. He never said anything about not voting for Dems or not wanting them in power. Do better.
  12. Dems could run a Bill Clinton Dem again, the right would call him a commie socialist, and "centrists" would be very concerned how far left he is. People's brains are cooked. Again, the game is rigged. Have to excite the youths and people who don't typically vote and stop trying to appease the middle.
  13. Sounds...interesting.
  14. It's a cover but they made it big, lumbering, and epic.
  15. The more clips I see, the more I realize why people like Mamdani.
  16. The only think that separates this from Iranian State TV propaganda is anti-regime press is allowed in. For now. They're trying to get rid of that too. American people are so blind and lost.
  17. Incredible. This clip is perfect. Her expression, breaking the 4th wall, and the camera work. A+ mockumentary scene.
  18. Was just watching CNN, where they did a piece about propaganda on Iranian State TV, then segued to a “Who is Mamdani?” tease, with a clip of him aggressive and yelling. Unbelievable.
  19. No offense, but that's a risk Dems should be willing to take. Either voters like you sit out (which is fine), or they call your bluff and end up getting your vote anyways. If they run an authentic campaign, they'll get plenty of first time voters to make up for the people who stay on the sidelines.
  20. Exactly. The guy is such a sociopath that, in his mind, the only way this could have been a failed mission is because of the pilots. LOL!
  21. Perception is not reality. And perception in American politics is a rigged game.
  22. Good stuff, Nate.
  23. You did a very poor job of reading my post. They will call any Dem candidate a socialist, no matter what the messaging or policy ideas actually are. At some point you just have to call their bluff. Yes, the fear porn will come. So fucking what. Trying to appease "centrists" or anti-Trump Republicans has led to a decade of Trump. The right has gone to war for decades and it's way past time for the left to stand strong and fight back. That doesn't mean running self-described socialists everywhere. It means we need authentic fresh faces who won't cower to the right or "the middle".
