Politics | 2020 | 46th President Of The USA: Jose R. Biden

By reilo Go To PostThat was the most made-up scandal of all time. Talk about a victimless issue when Trump just tweets out classified info while taking a shit.

president can do what he wants /homelander.gif

maybe if obama had greenlighted and deliberately justified that type of thing, it'd be different. but he left hillary hanging out to dry on numerous occasions

By reilo Go To PostThat's a separate issue but the email shit didn't deserve a 24/7 news cycle the entire election. It was Swift Boating all over again.

hillary handled the server shit worse than biden handles routinely making women and children uncomfortable.

shit, now that i think about it - social distancing has probably saved the biden campaign all sorts of drama....

I get it. Republicans don't play by the same rules and we let them get away with it because nothing matters

By Fenderputty Go To PostThat being said, sy is the anecdotal evidence I needed to know anyone who was gonna toss a joke vote at Kanye was never actually serious about voting anyway

umad?

By reilo Go To PostI get it. Republicans don't play by the same rules and we let them get away with it because nothing matters

no. presidency matters. guy who dictates national defense strategy and priorities can say ufos are real tomorrow if he wants. that position sits at that top of that structure. its why he can waive necessity for clearance - there is no greater need to know than the president saying it lol

if obama had delivered a justification about regarding that completely unique setup, then there's no argument to be had. especially on his way out of office....

By sy Go To Postumad?

No lol. Not at all. Thanks for the anecdote

By sy Go To Postumad?

are you black or not sy

By DY_nasty Go To Postif obama had delivered a justification about regarding that completely unique setup, then there's no argument to be had. especially on his way out of office….

You think the media would've allowed for this lol

By Fenderputty Go To PostNo lol. Not at all. Thanks for the anecdote

By DY_nasty Go To Postare you black or not sy

we dont believe you, you need more people!

By DY_nasty Go To Postare you black or not sy

Sure man /eye roll

By reilo Go To PostYou think the media would've allowed for this lol

i have a really, really hard time working with the idea that media and public kickback should've dictated how obama handled *many* things towards the end of his presidency. he was either irrationally afraid of responses despite knowing that he'd get shit on no matter what OR he did exactly what he wanted to do within his capabilities.

considering that hillary fucked up in more places than one, the server issue was something that was directly within his capacity to squash long before it made it to public as well.

this is the same obama that was punking leiberman in congress hallways with a finger to his chest lol.... he was fully able to directly address people when he felt it necessary.

By Fenderputty Go To PostSure man /eye roll

and why would you understand fender

not a big deal right

I see th labels 'Lib' and 'Dems' being used, are those interchangeable?

By Daz Go To PostI see th labels 'Lib' and 'Dems' being used, are those interchangeable?

As insults yes.

Lib is more of a pejorative.

Bunch of libs in here

By Daz Go To PostI see th labels 'Lib' and 'Dems' being used, are those interchangeable?

As is cuck

By DY_nasty Go To Postand why would you understand fender

not a big deal right

I understand why someone may be disaffected. Biden’s tough on crime history and racial Gafs are troubling. Compounded by Dems not following through. My bother in law is a Jill Stein voter and has his reason for voting 3rd party.

90% of of the people I’ve met who vote out of the two party, first past the post lesser of two evils system, were never going to vote within that system in the first place.

Maybe sy really is a lost vote. I’ve not seen anything to suggest this is the case. If you (DY not e metaphorical you) vote 3rd party, I would count you in the 10% of people who are choosing to do so while being heavily engaged.

With regards to your comment specifically, it read like I agreed with Biden’s shitty “you’re not black if you don’t vote for me” take and was why I rolled my eyes.

you can be engaged in actively toting party lines and wholesale indifference too tho. the only thing my involvement has produced is genuine resentment for the complacency and ignorance of the average american

and if you're rolling your eyes at that, then yeah im right in saying you don't understand. and biden is 'tough on crime'? no. there are plenty of democrats who are tough on crime who don't have biden's history. or kamala's for that matter.

and for all the talk about how hard it is to accomplish x for black people and how we must stay steady on the course, kamala is out here pulling whole indian american initiatives out of her ass after jank two stepping at HBCUs while offering triple layered conditionals for small business owners who don't even exist yet. and in true dnc fashion, it'll be 100% okay when she's shaking hands with modi in the near future because thatwasdifferent.gif

its been years and i don't even know where the priorities and values for some of yal lie outside of partisanship. like i know many of you guys hated that 'take to the streets and figure it out later!' campaigning but that energy is nowhere to be found now.

I’ve given up on priorities. I’ve been voting for judges and cabinets since Obama’s second term lol.

By Fenderputty Go To PostI’ve given up on priorities. I’ve been voting for judges and cabinets since Obama’s second term lol.

judges who advocate what and over what else?

because this "i only want the good guys to win" logic isn't adequate. everyone is the good guy

By DY_nasty Go To Postjudges who advocate what and over what else?

because this "i only want the good guys to win" logic isn't adequate. everyone is the good guy

Judges shouldn’t be advocates, which is why Trump has been so fucking bad lol

Look, Congress has been gridlocked since 2010. Voting for platforms and legislative solutions is voting for pixie dust. About the only effective thing trump has done is seat hacks to permanent seats and put awful people in places that make decisions. DoE, EPA, HHS. Seema Verma is awful and head of Medicare and Medicaid. Fucking Bill Barr alone is enough to make me vote against Trump. Dude is an evil theocrat.

The one piece of legislation Trump did get hinged on complete control of both the house and senate too. Just like Obama from 2008-2010, and even then mitch needed budget reconciliation for his tax cuts.

There’s a reason I have not watched ONE debate this cycle. Lol

you lost me at the jump

there is no such thing as an unbiased, pure, non malleable, etc judge anywhere. you want your priorities and values at the forefront. that's the entire point. so what do YOU want? lol. i'm asking because i actually don't even know. it should be consistent and not limited to the color of their tie or name of the administration. that's why you don't 'understand' why other could possibly be disillusioned with certain ongoing events.

"i've given up on priorities" doesn't even make sense dude. unless you're just subscribed to partisan cheerleading, in which case stop pretending otherwise...

is it safe to believe in polls again

asking for a friend

By Xpike Go To Posti am 50% sure the early trump momentum was entirely bored racists on 4chan thinking it would be hilarious

Trump spoke to America's primal roots.

Also 4chan got turned out, Q was born there and pretty sure not by mistake

By Daz Go To PostI see th labels 'Lib' and 'Dems' being used, are those interchangeable?

don't forgot "the left"

People are biased, duh. Wearing biases on ones sleeve should be disqualifying. Keeping the appearance of Neutrality at the SCOTUS is Roberts mission in life currently. I suppose if you want to nail me to something definitive, then I’ll say being a federalist society loon is bad and I’ll vote for the person who doesn’t use the federalist society as a litmus fest.

I think I was pretty clear that legislative grid lock has killed any actual priorities. Wishy I want(, UHC, jobs, infrastructure, etc) are all pipe dreams without Congress. Bipartisanship is dead and both sides seem happy about it

At least Biden + a decent EPA head could reverse some environmental damage this boneheaded has caused. Ditto on immigration.

I’m confused about why you’re confused about what I want.

To conservatives, a neoliberal and an ML are the same thing

Distinction only matters to Dems

TBF immigration under Biden as VP was a mess too. Just wasn't a mess used to get votes from easily shook white people

Trump had to rewrite his Muslim man EO like 5 times because he can’t help the racism. Lol

you're arguing past what i'm saying

you want someone who does the things you want, yeah? if you're pro-life/choice, you're going to want pro-life/choice judges. you want them to be be clear about it and have a history that states this as well. this isn't hard or bad. or new at least outside of the sensationalism.

i don't even understand the federalist focus when that battle has been lost ages ago and a litmus/purity test still has nothing to do with what YOU want to see. can't think of anything more vague than "i want uhc, jobs, and infrastructure"

i've seen you argue the semantics of what UHC actually is more passionately than anything else lol

By blackace Go To PostTBF immigration under Biden as VP was a mess too. Just wasn't a mess used to get votes from easily shook white people

the fast and furious shit did wonders on border states

i'm still sick with how the immigration shit played out. played the whole country. and motherfuckers still talk about a wall like its anything other than a prop. "but but but the wall is bad lolz" fucking idiots.... friends like these x 100

By DY_nasty Go To Postyou're arguing past what i'm saying

you want someone who does the things you want, yeah? if you're pro-life/choice, you're going to want pro-life/choice judges.

A judge can be pro life but not rule this way due to precedent. Hellloooooooo Roberts. Ultimately I’m not a textualist, but I did appreciate Gorsuch’s recent textualist reasoning for Siding with pro life precede.

Do I want 9 RGB’s? Sure ... But I’m also willing to accept some middle and also acknowledge that people’s assumptions don’t always play out. Garland seemed fine to me when libs balked at Obama’s choice

the middle at the cost of what?

when someone falls into the grey/risk areas of compromise or their 'assumptions don't always play out', yeah - it seems like it is a bit hard to understand apparently. obviously these priorities aren't quite lining up

By DY_nasty Go To Postthe middle at the cost of what?

You tell me the scenario and I’ll let you know if find it to be an acceptable compromise. lol

I mean what am I supposed to even say here? Life is one constant compromise after an other and politics ain’t no different.

By Smokey Go To Postis it safe to believe in polls again

Pay attention to margin of error and have the worst case in your mind when you evaluate them.

Speaking of polls. People thought law and order stuff would
Boost Trump but polling has suggested otherwise in WI

Those seem like pretty standard numbers whenever this type of knowledge surveys come up. You always get a lizardman constant of at least 5% on any question who either completely misunderstand how surveys work or are just trolling, then you've got to account for a significant chunk who are barely literate and probably have no worldly knowledge beyond what's directly relevant to them

Gwan the lads
Barbados has announced its intention to remove Queen Elizabeth as its head of state and become a republic.

"Let them eat cake" I scoff as I slowly morph into a vassal state to the US.

Top men.

I imagine the UK will take this well like with Jamaica and Trinidad.
