Re: New Developments III
Big Magilla wrote Black Nazi refers to the crackpot Trump endorsed Republican Lt. Governor of North Carolina, who is running for Governor. It's a name he has given himself. He has also just been outed by CNN and Politico for using the Ashley Madison Adultery Website. He's insane. CNN just said that...

Re: New Developments III
Okri wrote A lot of thoughts here that deserve more words than I can give them, but briefly speaking a) I think the widening gender gap you refer to, Sabin, will likely be the defining political story of the next 10 or so years. The other story will be the increase in political violence. b) While H...

Re: New Developments III
Greg wrote If the Democrats hold the Senate, I think they will abolish the filibuster. It really won't be up to Harris, unless the Senate is split 50-50. Then, Vice President Walz would have to make a tie-breaking vote. Theoretically, the Vice President may vote independently of the President; but,...

Re: New Developments III
Greg wrote It is quite rare for two individuals of the same party to be elected President back to back; and, when that happens, it tends to be when the first President dies in office and the next President is elected in his own right, such as Johnson after Kennedy and Truman after Roosevelt. As a r...

Re: New Developments III
Greg wrote For what it's worth, Taylor Swift just endorsed Harris. Lol, I think we missed the cycle where Trump went on Twitter saying "I hate Taylor Swift." A Taylor Swift endorsement definitely helps Harris but probably not much. What I do know is that wasting the last fifty days of the...

jack wrote As a non-American, I've resisted weighing in on this chat. But, everyone is aware that the whole Haitians eating cats and dogs (something I can't believe is having to be written these days) is all smoke and mirrors, right? It's simply bullshit Trump and Vance et al are spewing so that no...

I think you could very well be right.Okri wrote
Magilla, I wonder what choices your nephews would make if they were in a state where Harris had a better chance of winning [that they're leaning Democrat for the Senate vote tells me they're being quite thoughtful about their vote].

Re: New Developments III
Big Magilla wrote I tried to convince them that a vote for anyone other than Kamala was a vote for Trump, but they weren't having any of it despite the fact that they will vote for Allred even though they think he's anti-immigrant which he isn't as far as I can tell. I think a larger trend that we ...

Re: New Developments III
Jill Stein and AOC are having a pretty heated fight online which is leading to a lot of left-on-left "violence" in social media spaces, but I heard something mentioned in passing recently that I've had on my mind for the bulk of my adult life re: the Green Party. The Green Party (and any i...

Re: New Developments III
mlrg wrote The US is certainly living under a franchise. This is the first time since 1980 that neither a Bush, Clinton or Biden is on the presidential ticket. And I don’t think we’ve seen everything from the Obamas yet. I wrote up a longer response to jack (before Reza jumped in) but at the end of...

Re: New Developments III
Terrific post, Tee. It’s given a few friends of mine some real relief. In other news, maybe I’m slow to this one but is Trump having an affair with Laura Loomer? Two months before the election? He brought a 9/11 truther to a 9/11 memorial? Are we going to spend the next two months asking Trump if he...
