President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

"Man isst, bis man satt werden."
— Not Goethe

 

Allred has had saturation ads on television for a couple weeks now, dating back to the Olympics. It's only recently that Cruz has matched him, I'm assuming because of the recent polls that had Allred within the margin of error. There was one outlier poll that had Allred within 2 points, but the most recent one from UT has him 8 points behind. (Apologies if this has been mentioned already; been busy with baby most of the day and couldn't look back through 15 pages.) However, that's not quite as bad as it seems, since that same poll had Allred down by 16 in December, 14 in February, 13 in April and 11 in June.

Since Cruz is now spending on ads, Allred probably needs Harris to turn the general in more of a runaway nationwide, or to excel in a debate, to have a real shot. There's nothing scheduled right now, but Cruz debated Beto in September 2018, so I imagine that would be the time frame if there is one.

 

Wasn't Beto O'Rourke supposed to be that politician to change Texas politics?

The state flipping has been around for a while and I see no proof it will happen.

 

Does no one else other than Rafael know how to talk Texan?

 

responding here but because of several posts: considering the thread topic and what takes place in less than two months, I feel it's relevant. There is a method to the madness in that I only post new stuff. There's A LOT of things that get clipped from whatever he's doing when he opens his mouth. I avoid the repetitive bullshit that is his standard fare because we've all heard it before. the last week or so I have put common themes/topics/riffs in one post so the thread doesn't get clogged with four or five in a row and it is easier to scroll past if you want to avoid.

 

Turnout in Texas is usually quite crappy - and I'm guessing some folks like it that way.

 

Texas flipping will happen when you get that pot of gold on the other side of the rainbow.

 

Lifelong Democrat Alan Dershowitz Swears Off Party After ‘Anti-Jewish’ DNC: ‘I Was Disgusted’ by ‘Miserable, Anti-Zionist Bigot’ AOC

I mean, you think about what Dershowitz finds "tolerable" - its not like Harris has sat down with Holocaust deniers, white Christian nationalists (doesn't take much research to know how they feel about Jewish people). But then again, Dershowitz is used to hanging out with scumbags, so he'll fit right in with the GOP.

The funding of Russian interests in the loathsome right-wing podcastphere is unsurprising and deeply troubling. What a damning status for the right in our country: greedy, dishonest hacks spouting Russian propaganda just like their outer boroughs sleazebag god-king.

Now, if big left-wing "influencers" had all been propped up with Iranian dough....

 

Well, I wouldn't be surprised if some petro dollars from the Middle East made their way into funding all the Palestinian protests that have been going on in the last six months. But I think the only "pro-Palestinian" cable host quit earlier this year.
