skillzdadirecta Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 7 hours ago, Keyser_Soze said: This just kind of reminds me of my dad. I never thought of him as a veteran because he never really talked about it. He told a story or two on occasion, but they weren't really war stories. More like being stationed in the south and people giving him shit or something. But eventually he would ask for veteran's discount at home depot and I always thought he was just saying it to see if he would get it. Then after he passed away I found out he actually served in the Korean War. I'm not sure what he did, I think it was on comms or something. I have his army boots and machete around here somewhere though. Just interesting to think. It was never something he ever bragged or talked about compared to today now it's become a pissing contest for some people. Damn he was straight up KID when he served. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CitizenVectron Posted August 8 Author Share Posted August 8 Sounds like the Democrats plan to bring Biden back on the campaign trail, specifically in the blue wall states, and very specifically to campaign for groups he is stronger with (I assume older, whiter workers). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skillzdadirecta Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 4 hours ago, stepee said: Yeah I think even above everything else one of the defining differences between Biden and Trump is that Biden actually legitimately cared about the country and its people. Biden also blamed himself for Trump becoming President in the first place as he believed (and rightfully so) that if he ran in '16, there would have never BEEN a Trump presidency. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GOP has been heading in this driection for the past 50, 60 years starting at least with Nixon when they decided to actively cultivate and pursue some of the worst segments of our population in a quest for political power. The main difference between the GOP now and then is that they are not able to hide it as well as they have in the past and are out of any real ideas to help the most people in this country because they really don't have any. The current GOP's problems didn't start with Trump, He's a symptom not a cause, he as able to come in and scam that party because of 50 years of dumbing down their constituents with racism, homophobia, xenophobia and lies and now the tail is wagging the dog. The Republican parties of Lincoln, Reagan and even Dubya don't exist anymore and their veer into open fascism is because they KNOW they can't win in the market place of ideas anymore. Not when FACTS are not on their side and all they have is spin. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really don't have any policy ideas beyond maintaining the status quo and closing the border, but when the status quo has fucked over the working class for the last 50 years, they have to resort to ".... but trans people!" to get people to vote for them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also we can't underestimate the effect of Gen-Z'ers being engaged and a significant portion of the electorate this time as well as the increased involvement of millenials who tend to be more on the liberal side than their Gen-X counterparts.

Jason Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 3 hours ago, Signifyin(g)Monkey said: As much as I like the idea of a New Deal-style decade-long electoral dominance by the Dems, I'm actually with Buttigieg on this one--I think it would be better if the fall of MAGA just gives us a saner GOP. Every election shouldn't be a choice between fascism and liberal democracy. We should be picking between two alternative, semi-reasonable liberal-democratic visions of the country. Whether that's possible in an era where polarization only ever seems to get worse is the generational question. (obviously the answer so far has been a definite 'no') And re:2016 I would say that the ineptitude of Clinton's campaign should be added to the factors you mentioned. It made several terrible strategic choices, and it did a poor job of leveraging a superior ground game infrastructure. I'd rather see the GOP finish imploding and then the Democrats can split into a progressive party and a centrist party instead of having to be the unwieldy "everyone who isn't a fascist" party. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CastletonSnob Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 I read that there was a poll that said Harris is leading nationally by 8 points. I'm not saying to get complacent, but it looks like the election is slowly, but surely inching away from Trump's grasp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
