President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

LOL. Since when do they ever hold Trump to his word?

 

It's why "weird" was chipping away.

 

"Abortion protection" goes out the window as soon as Trump's SCOTUS delivers the human-life-at-conception ruling, making abortion murder everywhere in the U.S.

The anti abortionists won't have to spend time and money fighting and re-fighting their way through 50 state legislatures to pass qualified and limited bans with exceptions. The war will be over.

 

.... which is why any pearl clutching about what Kamala did or didn't do is nonsense.

Donald Trump can say literally anything he wants, make any promise he wants, and act in any manner he chooses and it's all excused.

No campaign strategy, no policy, no endorsements can counteract that. Nearly his entire cabinet said, "hey America don't do this again," and they hand-waved it away. Three more campaign stops, a couple more media interviews, and a different VP candidate wouldn't have changed that.

America embraces a little casual racism mixed in with feel-good, zero-depth policy.

 

The fear-mongering worked.

 

Nate Cohn hits the nail on the head. Trump gained everywhere despite a solid campaign by Harris:

None of this is what Democrats would have imagined a decade ago, when many of them assumed that demographic and generational change would bring a new Democratic majority. Instead, many of the voters whom Democrats viewed as the bedrock of their coalition grew so frustrated with the status quo that they decided to back Mr. Trump instead.

How Trump Won, Again

 

Past four Presidential elections 2012 D 51-R 47 2016 R 46-D 48. 2020 D 51-R 47 2024 R51-D47. This is not realignment, it's a static pattern in which small gains or losses by either side have an outsized impact.

 

"They're eating the cats, they're eating the dogs" was a better campaign strategy than helping people buy their first home.

 

Or . . . 2020 was just an outlier.



Feel free to replace "82 bleeping years old" with "black woman".

 

Meanwhile Jerrold Nadler won his race. He's one of the 'fighters' the Dems have planned to go up against this.
