I mean, people would have died from Covid regardless but do you not think things would have gone better with someone competent like Hillary as president? Do you think the banking system would have been stabilized if Trump and anti-regulation Republicans were in charge now instead of Biden when SVB crashed? Would Roe have been overturned had Hillary won? And elections being managed by MAGA republicans? There’s a very good reason for people to vote R or D regardless of the candidate. The ideological differences are huge. Often it’s illogical why people vote the way they do, but it’s no longer true that things will more or less be the same regardless of who wins. Not at all saying that who is elected doesn't impact lives. But that we impact our own More so. When you start there your own results are better regardless. Also makes the polarization less.

OILERMAN Posted March 25, 2023 Report Share Posted March 25, 2023 5 hours ago, Rogue said: Yeah, it’s weird to me people still haven’t realized the game. It’s not the candidate, it’s the outrage. Sure some Trump supporters would be disappointed, but they’d vote DeSantis without pause. Once voting season comes, they’ll be outraged enough to vote anyone not D. Period. It’s obvious. A decent amount of former Republicans voted against Trump last time but overall turnout was massive. I think a DeSantis nominee could result in a much smaller turnout for both sides.

begooode Posted March 27, 2023 Report Share Posted March 27, 2023 (edited) The extremism from Trump getting called out on fox and Friends. This is not fringe stuff anymore, not when the guy is representative of today's GOP revisionists as evidenced with his poll-leading numbers. In Waco, Texas mind you. Fox News host Brian Kilmeade on Monday called it “insane” for former President Trump to kick off his first official 2024 rally with a national anthem sung by incarcerated Jan. 6 rioters and footage featuring the insurrection. Kilmeade on “Fox & Friends” criticized Trump for the rally’s spotlight on Jan. 6 and the former president’s focus on ongoing investigations into him, rather than on his record or on other issues important to his party. “Instead, the president of the United States, the former president of the United States, opened up with Jan. 6 video, which is insane. He should be running from that period. I don’t care his point of view. That is not a good thing for him,” Kilmeade said. “I thought that was absolutely awful. Even though he is winning in the polls, that will not.” Trump opened up his rally with a rendition of the “Star Spangled Banner” sung by inmates incarcerated for their role in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. Footage of the riots played during the song, according to The Associated Press. “I think for President Trump to spend 80 percent of his time complaining about court cases instead of just looking at his own record, and what he would have done… He does that, or other candidates do that, they’re going to be unbelievably successful because that’s going to be the conversation at the kitchen table,” Kilmeade said.

begooode Posted March 28, 2023 Report Share Posted March 28, 2023 (edited) American exceptionalism - I'm good. We homeschool our daughter. And wtf is some nebulous unactionable platitude of "we gotta change people's hearts" going to address this issue. And, of course, the binary "not gonna fix it" strawman quickly injected to limit discussion on actions just to improve the situation. Tennessee Rep. Tim Burchett (R) said there’s no way to “fix” gun violence, after a shooter killed three children and three adults at an elementary school in his home state on Monday. “It’s a horrible, horrible situation,” Burchett told reporters. “And we’re not gonna fix it. Criminals are gonna be criminals.” “My daddy fought in the Second World War, fought in the Pacific, fought the Japanese, and he told me … ‘Buddy, if somebody wants to take you out and doesn’t mind losing their life, there’s not a whole heck of a lot you can do about it,’” he added. Burchett also said he doesn’t see “any real role” for Congress to play in reducing gun violence, other than to “mess things up.” “I don’t think you’re gonna stop the gun violence,” the congressman said. “I think you gotta change people’s hearts.” When asked about how to protect children, like his own daughter, while in school, Burchett said he has opted to homeschool his daughter. https://thehill.com/homenews/house/3921950-tennessee-republican-responds-to-school-shooting-were-not-gonna-fix-it/ Edited March 28, 2023 by begooode IsntLifeFunny, and titanruss 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do even listen to yourself? It's sad you haven't figured out logic yet. .. but it's fun to argue with someone that is so stupid they get worked up this hard and can only think in absolutes. Yeah I listen to myself and I know what I'm talking about. .. considering I visited worked and lived in China for about a decade now.... in an huge variety of manufacturing industries. When the Americans are away... corners are usually cut. No matter the standards QC is one of if not THE largest issue because of corners cut or someone thinking they know more than they do, take initiative to save time/money and are too afraid to ask permission but will take credit when it works. Trump cut funding and left from there with most of the highest positions vacated.. the people who basically taught them how to run this place. these included safety positions as well as some of the brightest research scientists in the world. .. he was too dumb to know how that would affect things. ... like you. He also threw away the pandemic response playbook Obama handed him. Now go sniff some more of your daddy's cocaine and get all angry here that you aren't getting his money like you want.
