  • That’s not what I’m seeing.

    Obviously totals aren’t in yet, but looks like trump gained a million voters and Dems lost between 8-17 million

    Which is what I’ve been saying for years. The danger isn’t cross over voters, very few people bounce between parties.

    What matters is energizing your own base and getting them out to vote.

    Dems keep pissing off their own base to court Republicans and it never fucking works

    Because what people will do, is just not vote.

    Which is what just happened. And at the end of the day the entire point of a campaign is to motivate voters, this is a failure of Kamala and her campaign.


  • But when Obama won the nomination the DNC didn’t support Obama in the general.

    So Obama ignored the DNC for 8 years and let it fester until 2016 when Hillary’s primary campaign took control of it they shady backroom financial deals that resulted in her campaign getting approval over what the DNC did during the primary.

    There was a brief window Donna Brazille got in leadership and showed everyone the receipts, then Hillary’s people got back in control and Biden kept them.

    With Kamala losing the DNC votes for it’s own leadership, and will likely retain like they always do.

    Obama has the chance to appoint progressive leadership to the DNC and fix the party, but instead he ignored it as a relic.

    And we’re still paying the price.

    I wonder why they are so afraid to prove it in a primary

    Because challenging the party favorite is career suicide when the party is corrupt.

    If Obama hadn’t won in 08 none of us would remember his name, and the party did nothing to help him because they knew if he won he could change leadership.

    They got lucky and he choose not to fix the party


  • The issue is the same with trump.

    A lot of stuff is dependent on people “doing the moral thing”.

    The DNC is a private organization, and if they decide to keep making the terrible decisions they’ve been making, there’s not a lot we can do about it.

    Their platform for a decade has been “what are you gonna do, vote trump?”

    So I really really think that today being the day after the election is the day we start talking about a third option in 2028. There’s no reason to expect the same people who have been running the DNC to magically change this time or even just get out of the way for the best of the country.

    We can’t just “find new leadership” because when a Republican wins, the DNC votes for its own leadership and almost always elects the same kind of people if not literally the exact same people.



  • You’re still assuming it’s intentional…

    A leaky pipe that slowly forms a stain that looks like the Virgin Mary doesn’t mean something made that simulation of an intentional representation of a religious figure show up.

    And regardless of if anyone ever noticed the similarities or even sees it, it’s still there.

    The entire universe might just be leaky pipes and if something “bigger” out there looks at the resulting water stain, maybe out of everything they could observe, something would remind them of their existence and they might chuckle.

    But it’s very unlikely to be humans just statistically speaking.






  • Especially since this is an unverified comment from a cop who wouldn’t give their name…

    Incendiary devices found at the scene of ballot drop box fires in Portland, Oregon, and nearby Vancouver, Washington, this week were marked with the message “Free Gaza,” according to a law enforcement official.

    A third device placed at a different drop box in Vancouver earlier this month also carried the words “Free Palestine” in addition to “Free Gaza,” said the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss an ongoing investigation.

    It’s hard to believe that it burnt ballots but writing survived.

    Waaaaaay easier to believe a cop doesn’t want trump supporters to be blamed.

    If cops don’t like that no one takes their word anymore, they should stop constantly lying



  • You misunderstood…

    When they were too scared for their own safety it was in 2022 when he was stealing signs from people’s yards or cutting them up with a pocket knife.

    The candidate had to hire a private investigator because cops wouldn’t investigate, and in the report it mentioned he showed signs of far right Christian extremism (his target was a Jewish Dem).

    Cops said they were too scared to do anything, and the prosecutor refused to press charges.

    Because cops were two afraid of a pocket knife, he kept going to the point of shooting up campaign offices and carrying a machine gun along with other weapons.

    The cops allowed the situation to become more dangerous because they were afraid to step in.


  • Back before Biden dropped out I got a spam text to do a survey about Biden, but it was from a legitimate group of Senate Dems.

    So I figured I complain enough, might as well do it directly.

    The survey was 3 questions like “do you agree trump is a danger? Yes or no.”

    And you couldn’t submit it until it took you a donation page with a 5 minute timer and no chance to skip.

    Feeling I might as well keep going at this point, I waited.

    When the timer expired, it reset to five minutes.

    There was no way to submit the survey except donating, and it was designed to make you think you had to rush, and obviously each time it reset, it would change the donation back to $200.

    It’s some shit I’d expect only Republicans to pull.


  • Before you feel to satisfied with the cops and prosecutor:

    They could have arrested him 2 years ago when he was cutting up and stealing signs…

    But the cops literally said they were too scared, and the prosecutor agreed that was a valid reason not to charge him

    Despite evidence pointing to Kelly as the perpetrator, Weich said law enforcement did not move to arrest him. Weich said that Phoenix police feared that approaching Kelly would pose a threat to their safety. A prosecutor out of the Phoenix City Attorney’s Office declined to pursue charges, Weich said.

    So they let him run around for two years until he shot up a Dem campaign office three times and was driving around with machine guns…

    Kelly was arrested about 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday during a traffic stop. Kelly’s attorney Squires said his vehicle was stopped using a grappler that hooked the car from behind. “That is quite shocking to a person who’s never had any previous allegations at all,” Squires said in court.

    Squires said in court the car was then surrounded by more than a dozen law enforcement personnel.

    The prosecutor said Kelly had numerous guns in his car, including a machine gun. He did not have his cellphone. Similarly, no cellphone was tracked behind during the shootings at the Democratic office, the prosecutor said. That led authorities to believe he was on his way to “potentially do something,” the prosecutor said.





  • They also warn that the groups appear to be laying the groundwork for a concerted challenge to the result of November’s presidential election if Trump is defeated by Kamala Harris.

    In other breaking news, the sun is expected to set tonight bring about a phenomenon called “night time”…

    Obviously they’re going to pull bullshit like last election, that’s what happens when you only punish a few grunts and just let the people who planned it walk free.

    Just like in American History X, the people who do the planning see the grunts as disposable, there’s always more.

    It’s only going to get worse because Bidens DOJ is almost completely ineffectual. But Biden won’t replace Garland because he’s either too scared, or really doesn’t have a problem with his refusal to do the job Biden gave him.



  • But sometimes I do need face to face communication with team members I’m concerned about, or with customers.

    Yes…

    You need that, because that’s what you grew up with.

    I’m sure you don’t know how to send a carrier pigeon, but at one point that was very important in business and government.

    It’s not Gen Z’s fault that a lot of boomers are unable to retire due to the policies their generation voted for or their own personal irresponsible savings and retirement planning.

    The youngest boomers are 60, so any “older boomer” is going to be well past retirement age.

    Stop trying to insist every future generation has to compromise with your archaic needs.

    You are the one out of place, they are the ones that are literally the future.
