Listen to this halfwit.

Electoral vote, popular vote, Senate, House, Supreme Court. Highest support from minorities for a Republican in half a century. Complete domination!

Susan Crawford was projected to win an open seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court race, keeping the high court’s 4-3 liberal majority intact and delivering a blow to Elon Musk and President Trump, according to Decision Desk HQ. Crawford, a Dane County circuit court judge, defeated conservative candidate Brad Schimel, a former GOP state attorney general, for the seat. Crawford replaces retiring liberal justice Ann Walsh Bradley on the court. The election offered the first big test for both parties since the November elections and came after record-breaking amounts of money poured into the race. In particular, the race was seen as a test of Musk’s political sway, as his super PAC, America PAC, alone spent more than $12 million to support Schimel. He also traveled to Wisconsin the Sunday before the election, where he handed out $1 million checks to voters who had signed his petition against “activist judges.”

I'm not sure this article has been discussed here, probably has been mentioned, but it's a truly interesting read. This is about social media, but I found it while using Chat GPT thinking about how their algorithm is assymetrical in its response based on the user, and how dangerous that is, which led me to this Science Journal where they played it out in real time with Facebook and their algorithm. The results shouldn't shock anyone, but it's just so fascinating to watch and read from a strictly scientific understanding. This is proof that the Right insulates and silos itself, deliberately, from the truth. Social media and AI firms fully understand the phenomenon at this juncture, but their entire business model is designed for it. The amplification of disinformation is asymmetrically designed and implemented uniquely to Republicans. Our analyses show that both algorithmic and social amplification play a part in increasing ideological segregation. Algorithmic amplification refers to data-driven automated processes that result in some content being more visible in users’ feeds; social amplification refers to choices made by users that also grant more visibility to specific content through sharing and reposting. We show that these processes operate asymmetrically across the US political “right” (conservatives or Republican Party) and the political “left” (liberals or Democratic Party), with the presence of much more homogeneous news consumption on the right—a pattern that has no parallel on the left... Finally, our results uncover the clearly asymmetric nature of political news segregation on Facebook—the right side of the distributions for potential, actual, and engaged audiences looks robustly different from the left side. Thus, although there are homogeneously liberal and conservative domains and URLs, there are far more homogeneously conservative domains and URLs circulating on Facebook. This asymmetry is consistent with what has been found in other social media platforms (24–26). We also observe on the right a far larger share of the content labeled as false by Meta’s 3PFC. Overall, these patterns are part of a broader set of long-standing changes associated with the fracturing of the national news ecosystem, ranging from Fox News to talk radio, but they are also a manifestation of how Pages and Groups provide a very powerful curation and dissemination machine that is used especially effectively by sources with predominantly conservative audiences (14). https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.ade7138

Yes or No

Pence announced that he’s running officially for some reason so I figured it was time to start this thread. Here’s the (*updated) candidates list (I left off a few nobodies) Donald Trump Ronald DeSantis Nikki Haley Tim Scott Mike Pence Chris Christie Asa Hutchinson (former governor of Arkansas) Doug Burgum (Governor of North Dakota) Will Hurd (former Texas rep) Francis Suarez (mayor of Miami) Vivek Ramaswamy (?) Larry Elder (nobody)

There's been so many examples lately of this I think it's time we need to start documenting it. Aside from all the obvious things (criminal, traitor, idiot, autocrat, bigot, demagogue) - he is clearly no longer in any mental condition to be president again. Trump was already a moron so didn't have much room to decline, but alas his age is really starting to show. And as we know, dementia tends to run in the family and his old man had a notorious case of dementia as he got older.

Take 2…

If defeating Trump is truly the Dems #1 goal, Kamala Harris is the one who should step aside, regardless of what Biden does. Let's say Biden steps down. There is no way this country is going to elect a bi-racial woman as the next President. It's not going to happen. The swing voters won't do it. Now let's say Biden refuses to step down and runs. What is the best chance of winning swing votes and having him elected? A strong VP candidate who can take over mid-term when Biden gets certified as incompetent or dies. Kamala Harris is not a strong VP candidate and should step down and let someone else run on the ticket with Biden. Don't repeat the Hillary mistake.

I was gonna take it easy on @IsntLifeFunny but if you made the same bet to me I would've absolutely taken it. I wouldn't have minded to not post in the political section for a year if Trump lost. All respect, and not gonna gloat, all in good fun. See you next year

Everyone should take into account the illegals, software, hardware, bio tech, and big media. With all of that put into the aggregate who wins?

Why not?

GRANTED this is all mostly rumor and innuendo from Merc-style sources on the left Also, given the VAST libtard bubble I reside in--(CWDNN-- Chicks with Dicks News Network is my most trusted news source), I am full of, not only semen, but also confirmation bias However my tranny dick is haaaaard over all these JD Vance rumors. The latest one is that he used to bang his couch! https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/jd-vance-couch-sex-rumor-explained-1235068142/

Still like this guy

I thought this was interesting. The debate method (likely not intentional) that Trump uses has been labeled as Gish Gallop (It appropriately sounds completely made up). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gish_gallop "The Gish gallop (/ˈɡɪʃ ˈɡæləp/) is a rhetorical technique in which a person in a debate attempts to overwhelm an opponent by presenting an excessive number of arguments, with no regard for their accuracy or strength, with a rapidity that makes it impossible for the opponent to address them in the time available." So I looked up ways to counter that. "Countering the Gish gallopChoose the weakest, dumbest, most ludicrous argument that the galloper has presented and tear that argument to shreds ("the weak point rebuttal"). Do not budge from the issue or move on until having decisively destroyed the nonsense and clearly made the counter point." That seems doable with his most outlandish lies. Countering this style is why I think the Harris team wanted the mic hot. They wanted her to have the ability to cut through them as he's spouting them. Instead - she'll likely have to use this counter. Something to watch for.

One of the biggest opportunities Dems have with this reset is the ability to go after Gen Z and millennials. Why did dems out perform the polls in the mid terms? Gen z. Why are pollsters having such a hard time getting good data. Gen z. Why was Biden struggling so much to overcome his age? Gen z. Why did Gaza hurt Biden so much? Gen Z. Boomers are no longer the dominant generation. According to Investopedia, millions of baby boomers have died in the decades since 2020, based on 2020 census data. In 2012, nearly 11 million of the 76 million baby boomers born between 1946 and 1964 had already died. However, when immigrants are included, the number of baby boomers is estimated to be 76.4 million because immigrants outweighed the number of baby boomer deaths. Gen x - my age bracket are mostly irrelevant. Too small of an age bracket to matter. The key to this election will be attracting gen z. I'll use this thread to post different articles and information I find. I don' have time for one of my huge posts.. so it will have to come as I go through the day. Work and meetings really cuts into me ability to waste time on the internet these days. https://www.npr.org/2023/02/06/1154172568/gen-zs-political-power-new-data-gives-insight-into-americas-youngest-voters The messaging, the VP pick, the strategy- imo- should be more about these two age brackets than anything else- imo.
