President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

That sounds like a great way to spend an afternoon.

 

Symbolically nice, but he doesn't give a fuck, he'll just refuse to abide by any orders and refuse to pay any monetary penalty.

Musicians need to counterattack. Cover the most blistering anti-Fatfuck songs you can come up with. Make videos trashing his ass.

 

I know we've talked a bit on this board about an epic TS diss track, but I'm starting to think of something on a "We Are The World" level.

 

Say what you want about Roger Waters, but he shoved it
way up Diaper Don's pooper way back in 2016. From Mexico, too!

 

Is there a new Indianapolis since WWII? Figured that one was retired.

 

Rumor has it there is video of Trumpers shoving the ANC staffer and knocking her to the ground.

 

The only people more risk averse than politicians are NFL coaches.

 

I’m sorry you feel wrong about Missouri.

 

Maybe I just underestimated the demographic shift. It wasn't that long ago it was a 50-50 tossup or at worst a swing state.

 

Governor invited to STTDB.

LSU won't change football pregame to accommodate Landry request that players stand for anthem

 

This is great and I’d love to see it. Elections like these are won in the margins. Harris won’t win rural counties in swing states, but if you trim the loss from 75-25 to 60-40, that adds up.

Time is probably an issue though, since it’s such a sprint since the campaign started in late July.

But that kind of attention and outreach in unlikely areas can be the difference, especially when you already have some momentum.

The trump campaign did the opposite when it had the momentum with the debate/shooting/convention. Instead of reaching out to undecideds, trump doubled down on his base with acolyte Vance as the VP pick. And it continued its strategy of division rather than inclusion. Negatively instead of a positive message.

I think the positive tone and hopeful messaging of the Harris campaign is resonating with a portion of the electorate that’s tired of trump’s constant bashing and asshole behavior.

 

Interestingly enough, I'm listening to a podcast about The Big Dig, and one of the asides they get into is the fight between Reagan and Tip O'Neill. During his campaign, Reagan went to Massachusetts and predictably got booed, but I agree with you that it kind of helped his profile overall. You don't want to be some stupid rube, willingly doing like some super lopsided FOX event, but I do think there's value in candidates doing events outside their comfort zone. (The political version of college basketball teams that will actually schedule someone besides a 250+ NET cupcake.)
