Ditto for the Dems. If they had any decency or integrity, they would have been honest about Biden’s health. Instead, in collaboration with the media, they covered it up until they couldn’t anymore. So, they toss him out, plant Kamala and then, with the help of the media, cover for her as well. I’m not a Trumper or a maga lunatic but the Dems, Kamala, the liberal media and wealthy liberal elites got everything they deserved. It’s unfortunate because I believe in balance. The dems wrecked that.
It will likely hurt my business dealings. There are quite a few good people working in construction field that I hope don’t get spooked off.
I view the current version of American progressivism to be more or less the political tenets and philosophy of Bernie Sanders and his ilk. If we need a quick definition, it's the need for an ever-larger central government (with diminished states' rights and individual responsibility) to address any/every matter .... with an extreme, irrational focus on controlling social issues and economic activities. For specifics, see the DNC platform as it contains many. The opposite would be the political philosophies which do not embrace progressivism.
Agree. i was reading dangle's post until I got to this bit of wierd .. "Kamala was a pretty good candidate." LOL
I can't locate the post now .... but I recall someone opining that the GOP's outsourcing of their ground game was going to yield far less effective results than keeping it in-house. Now, it appears that decision may very well have been the difference in the election.
Excellent post. The point you make that the vast majority of people on the left don't understand is .... not every person that voted against Harris (for Trump) is a "Trumpaloon" or MAGA. I believe this mistake resulted in Harris' defeat.
Sounds like Muschamp. It was the players fault. When the problem was him all along. The issue is the democratic party and the far left dont get it. Period. Full stop. People dont like their positions and they sent that message Tuesday night.
And if a more likable candidate than Trump had been the Republican nominee it would have been much, much worse for the Dems.
I remember what you wrote after the 2020 election about how trump was now irrelevant and we should quit talking and posting and worrying about him. Yet, like a bad case of herpes here he is again.
Okay, I'll play along with your humorous post .... if DT is herpes, what do you consider Biden and Harris.
Honestly, the notion that this is in any way cognitive is belied by the fact that nobody is talking about specific policies on the right currently. We just elected a new President and nobody can seem to figure out what policies he is going to actually pass. Nor is anybody mad at a particular Democratic policy like they were in 2010 with ACA, which is now so popular that Donald Trump is claiming that he never said he wanted to get rid of it. This is about emotion. You can't examine emotion cognitively. You have to analyze it via the lens of emotion. Generally, it is resentment and anger and frustration with cognitive dissonance. Look at this board. The political right should be as happy as they will ever be. And yet, look at the topics. It is all about the sources of their resentments and cognitive dissonance.
goes back to Clyburn getting Biden to pick a black woman in exchange for his support in SC Democrats’ Blame Game Misses Key Culprit Months later, after Biden and Harris defeated Trump, Clyburn told CNN that he urged Biden to choose a black woman as his vice presidential running mate. At the time, the congressman seemed confident in his advice to pick a woman of color on the heels of a victory over the incumbent Trump. “Joe and I talked about it several times when he was trying to make his decision,” Clyburn told CNN’s Dana Bash. “He had said it would be a woman. And I don’t mind saying now, I said to him in private that I thought that a lot of the results would turn on whether that woman (would) be a black woman.” “I gave all my advice to him in private,” he went on to say. “But I’m very pleased that it was a black woman selected – I think it cemented his relationship to the black community.” It’s safe to say Biden owed Clyburn a favor for the endorsement in the primary. And what better way to reward the black South Carolina lawmaker than to heed his demand and pick a black woman as his running mate? So, as Democrats blame the shellacking on Biden himself, on all the racists and misogynists, the brainwashed Hispanics and brainwashed black men, on the white women who hate themselves and forfeited their rights when they voted for Trump, do not forget Jim Clyburn. Clyburn, who’s a bit of a sacred goat within the party, will likely escape criticism. I doubt Democrats are even aware he urged Biden to pick someone like Kamala in the first place. Even if they were, it wouldn’t matter. The left’s response to the loss so far reveals they lack the necessary self-awareness to admit that Kamala was a terrible candidate then, in 2020, and a terrible candidate now.
