Another Democrat who has shed the progressive label is Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA), who told NBC News in December 2023 that he is “not a progressive.” He has strayed further from progressive Democrats, especially regarding immigration and Israel, than he was expected to when he was elected in 2022.
of the Left is to legally tie down Trump and make it impossible got him to go out on the campaign trail.
But I suspect it won’t work. Americans are very likely to be sympathetic toward someone who is very clearly being victimized and unfairly treated. And that’s not all!
But so far, the strategy may have inadvertently highlighted Biden’s weaknesses, and Trump’s strengths, on the campaign trail.
The left’s spittle-lipped Trump tantrum is likely to alienate more voters than it attracts. If they think a display of “ugly” is a good marketing tool for them, they are sadly mistaken.
An article in the Daily Beast suggested that Trump’s bodega visit “should scare the hell out of Democrats” because of the presence of some Hispanic voters who clearly no longer feel any obligation of loyalty to the Democratic Party.
But Democrats have ceded the moral high ground to Trump on this, and put all their eggs into one foam-flecked basket. And by keeping Trump hobnobbing with bodega owners in the city, are they actually putting NYC at risk?
Probably not, but still, imagine this happening day after day after day… Even if it doesn’t flip New York red, might this resonate with regular people in other states and cities?
Democrat effort to “hang” Trump through lawfare could possibly boomerang on them!
In short, Biden’s two quick-stop visits simply did not have the flair that Trump’s did. Indeed, it seemed weird that Biden copied what Trump was doing in the first place.
… Biden is just not creating the level of enthusiasm needed to roll to victory. Maybe that will change. Maybe Biden will pick up, or maybe Trump’s trials will eventually make Republican voters less enthusiastic about him. But remember: Some Democrats hoped indicting Trump would push him out of the race. That plan backfired. Now some of those same Democrats hope putting Trump on trial will push him out of the race. Yes, that plan might work, but it also might backfire. Just look at the lessons of Chick-fil-A and the bodega and Sheetz and Wawa.
what the Left is pushing:
See, almost all of us value good manners. THAT is why the Left disguises itself by putting on robes that kinda look like manners! But it’s all pretend.
a lot safer to vote early. And the voting machines don’t”suddenly malfunction” and change your vote. It is on paper.
How about Maricopa County? You remember that? When and where did the problems arise? In Republican precincts on election day. They suddenly had the wrong ballots, or the machines didn’t work, or whatever. And people left because they couldn’t wait around. But if they had voted early…
… If all those Arizona Republicans had taken advantage of early voting and mailed in their ballots or gone and done early voting at one of the polling places, that wouldn’t have happened. Learn from your mistakes.
… Again, I wish things were different. I wish we had one day voting like they do in the rest of the civilized world. But that’s not the world we live in. That’s not the battlefield we’re fighting on. We don’t have that choice. Should we work for it? Yeah. And you know what would be helpful in that battle? Winning some freaking elections so we have the legislative majorities to enact those laws. But right now, we don’t. Right now, we have to find each location and figure out exactly how to get as many ballots counted as possible. That’s all that matters. Good intentions don’t matter. Wishing doesn’t matter. Wanting doesn’t matter. Counted votes matter. And only counted votes.
it does! <shakes head>
Just be aware; Lefty attacks are always at heart an attack against the family unit. Many are more subtle–like welfare for single moms (something almost all of us support at some level). But the truth is that the government becomes “the man” in the relationship and provides for the family).
Further along that spectrum is a normalization of homosexuality. In that case, there is no family at all (or children with parents, at least). Further still is the non-approximation of marriage, with “drag queens” and all sorts of dehumanizing stuff.
But here we have some sort of “professor” attacking marriage and family itself.
“I theorize that marriage fundamentalism, like structural racism, is a key structuring element of White heteropatriarchal supremacy,” Professor Bethany Letiecq wrote in the Journal of Marriage and Family.
Yes, of course…
No. No they won’t. Of course they won’t!
And what’s more, a lot of Democrat suck-up down to the rigid shill Democrat voter next door will defend them. It’s quite clear to even the dullest among us.
Vice President Kamala Harris wouldn’t say Friday in an interview with NBC News chief White House correspondent Peter Alexander if President Joe Biden will participate in general election debates against former President Donald Trump.
intended lessons of the Trump prosecutions from Lefty “deep state” swamp monsters:
First: If you move to de-fang us, we the Lefty swamp will go after you hammer and tongs while you are in office. People you trust will ruthlessly betray you–because they are actually agents of your enemies, under deep cover. Your policies will be stymied over and over by people who promised to faithfully execute them.
Second: Even after you leave office we will hound you forever. We will get corrupt judges to levy absurd fines against you. We will get people to nonsensically accuse you of 20+ year-old crimes. We are coming after you with a blood-lust that never dies and that can never be sated.
We will never stop hounding you. It will be like Javert on steroids. We will hurt you, both personally and financially. And we will pat ourselves on the back as being morally good for doing so.
So this is NOT just an effort to get Donald Trump. He is just a convenient target for their brutality.
No, it is also to warn anyone else that you dang well better not seek the demise of the swamp, because they will destroy you if you do, both while you are in office and after you leave. Cross the swamp and you are a dead man, walking.
New York Times columnist Ezra Klein is calling for Joe Biden to step aside for a new Democratic nominee.
EVERYONE sees it! Only a few die-hard Democrat dead-enders are still on the sinking USS Biden! You are just now starting to see the “Democrat flail,” where partisan Democrats dive off this rickety chicken-rig!
there is a teensy bit of a problem with that…
Lefty Politico has a fever, and the only cure is more Biden…
Let’s face it, Joe is senile. Riddled with dementia. So his team is faced with a devil’s dilemma: Hide Joe and keep the public from seeing just how incompetent he is, or prop him up in public events for short periods to show he is OK.
The problem with the first option is that Senile Joe™ is simply not going to win by going back and again hiding in his basement. It won’t work again. And let’s be honest–even then he wouldn’t have won without massive voter fraud. Even that was very nearly not enough!
BUT, the problem with the second option is that the more exposure, the more people realize that he is a senile old dotard. And he has a habit of going off on weird tangents and/or saying imbecilic things. He is easily confused. So the less he says, the better.
What I expect is kind of a mixture of those two things: Put Joe out there on a very limited basis and just hope he doesn’t crap his pants on stage. Literally. A couple of lucky events and BOOM! Less concern about this geezer and a shift back to the “basement strategy,” at least for a time.
can.
But there are absolutely HUGE problems associated with that. It isn’t a simple proposition. Not by a long shot. There are issues with Kamala, the Black vote, and just who would replace Biden that would keep everyone happy–or at least grumbling but still onboard.
