Politics Thread

You are stuck in partisan politics and it is quite sad.... you are not alone unfortunately. It’s really why this thread has gone in circles for how long?

I have plenty of criticisms of Republicans trust me. You asked me if “people really believe this stuff” obviously considering yourself aloof from the current polarization. I’m merely letting you know that the polarization exists and people have those grievances. People continuing to ignore these grievances is why we are where we are

I mean seriously why do you think people like Bernie Sanders and Donald trump are popular? People have strong resentment for the current establishment

I don’t recall taking sides or rationalizing any actions of Democrats. Mostly here to bash Trump haha! I can hate on democrats too... it’s actually the opposite of your criticism. I don’t find them bullies, I find them mostly spineless and not willing to stand on solid ground... simply making statements to appease a crowd. Similar to Trump actually in that regard.

Yeah I don't see the appeal on an insider. Biden was in the senate for thirty something years and can point to what to run on now? He's actually moved away from a lot of what he used to advocate for. Electing or looking at "insiders" like Biden just shows how useless most politicians are.

I agree with this for Senators, but not governors. Senators just want to fight, and in the Presidency they fight with people they've been fighting for years.

Heck even Mayor Pete seems to have more relevant experience for the Presidency than every Senator he's running against.

Is it ok that he asks Chiina to investigate Biden too? What happens when China calls to ask if he was serious? Can’t we wait until the primaries are over until we ask corrupt foreign governments to investigate our candidates? This is normal, right?

Surprised he just didn't ask for Biden dirt from all the UN members last week. Would have saved time.

Although the president said that he talked to the Ukrainian president about Biden...40% of Republicans say that he didn't.

No wonder we're all confused.

Oh, so now you're going to believe Trump.

I foresee the following as a very likely scenario...

Trump gets impeached.

Trump is not removed from office.

Trump will then proclaim that the Democrats tried to impeach him, but failed.

He and many of his supporters will not, nor will ever, understand the difference between being impeached and being removed.

And...the shitshow will continue!!

I don't even know what I think the proper course of action is. I actually kinda gave up a while ago and am just trying to not get too bothered by things that don't impact my day to day life. But, I do think that there is a better chance of Donald Trump JR winning the 2024 election than of Trump SR actually being removed from office.

'brew, stop being ridiculous talking about Don Trump, Jr. winning the 2024 election. There is ZERO chance of that. None, zip, nada, zilch. There is NO WAY he can beat Ivanka in the Trump Party (f/k/a the Republican Party) primary.
