  1. I don't know. Right now I'd say there is no real "face" of the party.
  2. Are you okay? Trump calls AOC the leader because of the "socialist" label attached to her. It's strictly a scare tactic. And you use polling, where in this specific case "No one" and "other" are basically in a 3 way tie with AOC as evidence? What's going on here?
  3. MJ Lebron Bird Magic Hakeem Rasheed Wilt Kareem Russell KD
  4. The first play Arch stepped on the field vs. A&M - Arch Manning TD Marcel Reed and Aggie offense for the entire game - Zero points Looch's hunger to humiliate himself everyday is unrivaled.
  5. Just watched with my boy, we are both big fans of the MI films. Generally agree that Final Reckoning is a bit disappointing.
  6. Agree with this! Those are good faith attempts to reach people on the right. All for it.
  7. But the right will always win that war. When a large group abandons good faith and takes on trolling as a literal and primary personality trait, you're never gonna defeat them with pwnage or soundbites. That game is rigged. We have to find another way.
  8. This is really cynical, and I'm here for it. This bleeds all the way to the far left. Engagement is all that matters. I think Sam Seder is a good man with a lot of good opinions, but the Majority Report makes their money by posting videos making fun of and "owning" right wing media/podcasters. In the end all this shit is completely worthless and unhelpful. Everything is broken.
  9. The primary is specifically where it would hurt him.
  10. 🤘, Scottie!
  11. Good on Dr. Mike for making this video.
  12. Here is a perfect clip to share. 90 seconds and gets to the fucking point with the title.
  13. That video needs to be seen by every American. Show it your friends and family. Democratic politicians should talk about it every day when in front of a television camera.
  14. Holy shit. What a cunt.
  15. Also want to add that I voted for Bernie in the 2016 primary. I was a Buttigieg supporter in 2020, but voted for Bernie in the primary again because Pete dropped out of the race before Texas election. I would never support Pete if I believed he was a neoliberal shill. Y'all have just completely misread him because leftist media and politicians misread him.
  16. This is leftist brain rot. Here's what you and most on the left miss about Pete. He's generally agreeable with the policy ideas that come from the left. The difference is he wants to use pragmatism instead of the antagonistic revolution to sell it to the American people. He wants to sell these policies as practical and a benefit to everyone. You should read this long Politico article about Pete as Transportation Secretary. It's not a puff piece, there is plenty of criticism as he was growing into the job those first couple of years. But he listened to the concerns from the left and antitrust advocates, and made significant changes that were celebrated even by his biggest detractors. https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2024/11/03/pete-buttigieg-tough-on-airlines-00181436 Psst, Pete is an ally for the left. He wants to get to the same place, he just believes in a different rhetoric and strategy to get there.
  17. It would be smart for Pete to eventually do a long interview with a popular lefty podcaster like Hasan or Sam Seder. Speak to the left directly instead of letting their media people push their negative spin on his narratives and ideas.
  18. I agree. My point is good ideas and policies matter more than checking the identity boxes. If there is a straight white male that can be a top candidate based on substance, I'm listening and willing to support.
  19. Here's gonna be my disconnect with the people who just want a "straight white male" to be the candidate. Yes, maybe it's an easier way to win the Presidency back and get Trump out of office. Maybe. But then what? The MAGA disease has already spread to every organ at this point in our country. A boring, safe, paint by numbers Presidency is not the cure. We tried that with Biden, it didn't work. We are going to need a reinvigorated Presidential administration that is extremely proactive with big and bold policies that they can push through ASAP. Basically, go big or go home.
  20. I'd recommend not just listening to leftists in the media space.
  21. This is all wrong and just bullshit talking points from the left.
  22. I think it would be very good for AOC, Pete, and 1-2 more TBD strong candidates to lead the 2028 primary. Pretty sure AOC and Pete have talked/met since 2020, and I don't think they hate each other. Which is good.
  23. Agreed. But I don't think we should preemptively ding any candidate for horseshit that was used in an ugly 2020 primary race. A lot has changed since then and we all need to be better and focus on real criticisms/issues.
