Thankfully there are fewer people identifying as Republicans these days. Maybe we're closer to eliminating stupidity and intellectual laziness than I thought.

12/1/2019 7:22:01 PM

No, they are just moving their registrations to unaffiliated, fucking up dem primaries, and joining all the other "independents" who were actually always republican.

That's why idiots like DTR are idiots... they think democrats can win alone and openly cheer "fuck everyone else!" In reality they've always been / continue to be outnumbered and lack of participation is just the cherry on top.

12/2/2019 6:43:27 AM

^I'll grant you the lack of participation but you are incorrect about being outnumbered.

12/2/2019 7:14:35 AM

well independents are breaking hard against impeachment so i hope youre right.

12/2/2019 7:22:45 AM

I haven't seen how the polls break down for R/D/I, but support for impeachment is trending +5 or better.

they can win by saying fuck moderates, not fuck everyone else. this "centrism" is a losing ideology that has been losing for at least a couple decades while the ideology of the left is popular across a wide swath.

^^I'm a centrist but I think considering the war they're actually fighting against Republicans, you're probably correct.

You can get polls from a lot of places so I won't pretend this is definitive but here's the first link I got searching for impeachment polls by party affiliation: https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2019/11/26/20983609/new-trump-impeachment-polls-after-hearings-increase-support

Trump adviser: Expect more aggressive poll watching in 2020
https://apnews.com/af2f0ede054d8baebbe1bb6ca47b4895

Quote :

"MADISON, Wis. (AP) — One of President Donald Trump’s top reelection advisers told influential Republicans in swing state Wisconsin that the party has “traditionally” relied on voter suppression to compete in battleground states, according to an audio recording of a private event obtained by The Associated Press. The adviser said later that his remarks referred to frequent and false accusations that Republicans employ such tactics. Justin Clark, a senior political adviser and senior counsel to Trump’s reelection campaign, made the remarks on Nov. 21 as part of a wide-ranging discussion about strategies in the 2020 campaign, including more aggressive use of Election Day monitoring of polling places. “Traditionally it’s always been Republicans suppressing votes in places,” Clark said at the event. “Let’s start protecting our voters. We know where they are. ... Let’s start playing offense a little bit. That’s what you’re going to see in 2020. It’s going to be a much bigger program, a much more aggressive program, a much better-funded program.”"

the way he tried to walk it back when asked for comment is lol

The myth of a good, moderate Republican should be forgotten forever. They don’t exist. Burn the entire party to the ground. Imagine thinking Manu fucking Raju is a liberal hack.

Also, Martha is setting up nicely to lose two Senate election in 2 years. Pretty impressive.

If I hadn't read on his profile, I would have thought he was a Democrat. Check his tweets... he should become POTUS if America has to have a republican one.

Or is he a deceptive liar also?

this thread was pointless 100 pages ago. post-impeachment debacle analysis should be 100% on inept democrat leadership.

how much can you people possibly talk about these "white trash evil geniuses" or whatever? elect your own shitheads like mitch mcconnell and fucking beat them.

1/31/2020 7:03:15 AM

It’s a systemic failure all around.

A failure of the Constitution (which was written only for when people with a shred of decency or at least restraint were in power), a failure of the media, a failure of the minority party, a failure of the voters and many others.

Democrats will be shouting “trust in the institutions” to the gallows at this rate. Mitch McConnell doesn’t give a single fuck about anything but power and the sooner Democrats start actually saying that out loud the better. Fuck acquiescing to pieces of shit like Susan Collins as she clutches her pearls.

1/31/2020 7:28:56 AM

no, colins is just another republican. the pearl clutching you mention is an attempt by the media to generate drama in a situation where there is none. the net effect is it causes certain rubes on facebook and twitter to put their faith in her... and later lose faith in our institutions.

im not saying youre wrong about the other failures you listed... im just saying people like colins have always existed. the overreaction and soap opera surrounding people like her? seems new.

I thought this bump was going to be about Romney's burisma flip.


Trump: Investigates biden
Dems: You can't do that
Trump: but i think there might be corruption
Dems: Then you should've let it go through congress
Senate: Investigates Biden

The conspiracy now is that Iran created it and was trying to spread it to America but somehow screwed up. The basis for this is the large outbreak in Iran, and some Iranian was in China.

Good move. That bill would have been way too burdensome for most small businesses (that are already under a lot of financial stress).

Also, the D.'s as always politicizing this crisis by slipping in $1bil to fund abortion might be the definition of bad faith.
