you say anecdotal. i say it's an everyday commonplace occurrence in my neighborhood and will absolutely motivate a comfortable liberal to vote against the incumbents who are allowing their cities to rot. who do you think clark county, ohio voted for? (64% trump)OrthodoxEaster wrote: Wed Nov 06, 2024 9:23 am Also, and this is purely anecdotal, but I've had at least two immigrants here in NYC (one Asian, one Latino) tell me they've had it w/the migrant situation. People pooping on the doorsteps of their businesses and stuff like that. This is unsolicited, in the midst of otherwise dull smalltalk. I ask them where else these people might survive, and they tell me they don't care, just not here. Wonder who they voted for?
omar defeated a woman so sex wasn't a factor anyway.Yeah, Omar and Tlaib easily won reelection. But how much of their "popularity" has to do w/policy or the fact that they're women and how much has to do w/that, like Trump, they are quasi-celebrity politicians who are more famous for being outspoken than anything else? More power to both of 'em, and I certainly agree w/them more often than I do Trump (and possibly, even Harris) but still...
Bread and circuses, baby!
In terms of swinging votes, sure cozying up to Cheney and soros probably doesn’t matter.losthighway wrote: Wed Nov 06, 2024 10:53 amThat wasn't for us. That was to appeal to people that you and I don't talk to. I don't think she lost any votes with that, as much as we all know that Cheney was the scourge of 1990's American politics and global peace.GuyLaCroix wrote: Wed Nov 06, 2024 9:09 amI'm not saying this to appear smug. But the messaging was fuckin abysmal. Parading out the Cheney's like it was some kind of big win. I mean this with all sincerity when I say that Dick Cheney is The Great Satan of my adolescent years. I'm from a small town in East Texas. Several of my friends died because of GWoT, either overseas or when they came back home. I lost all hope when Kamala appeared on stage with them.enframed wrote: Wed Nov 06, 2024 8:54 am
I originally thought that too, but Hillary Clinton won popular vote. I'm not saying I don't think it contributed, but it's not the only factor. Harris and the DNC fucked up on the message.
Who did that appeal to?
what do you mean by “scare bullshit?”penningtron wrote: Wed Nov 06, 2024 11:42 am Honestly.. Shapiro, Newsom, even Bernie Sanders somehow, this outcome feels inevitable. Trump would have likely won easily in 2020 without the pandemic. Or maybe like I said previously we could have held out another 4 or 8 years but America is showing us what it truly is, and was always designed to be.
Btw Douglas County, CO isn't the correct county where that Aurora scare bullshit went down. It's bland shitbox suburbs, which I'm not at all surprised leans slightly Trump.
So that's your takeaway from incorrectly amplifying right wing talking points by citing places 25 miles apart. Why did I turn off the block-o-meter..hbiden@onlyfans.com wrote: Wed Nov 06, 2024 11:51 am what do you mean by “scare bullshit?”
