@ajlunce @paulesq711 The party has done worse in the rurals as it's moved to the left economically lmfao

...or, you know, Democrats could *slightly adjust* their strategy and messaging to win back some rural voters. It wasn't too long ago that Democrats had *two* Senators from North Dakota! In fact, it was in my early young adult lifetime (the 111th Congress) that this happened.

@paulesq711 @ByrneSilas You are describing Nebraska Dems exact strategy that doesn't work

@ByrneSilas You don't even need to chill *that much* on guns. Chris Murphy can still be a loud and proud fanboy of the AWB running in CT. However, a candidate running in Nebraska might need to tamper their policy to something like expanded background checks, maybe magazine restrictions.

@seskoog @lxeagle17 @paulesq711 You managed to fit two straw men into one tweet that's impressive

@paulesq711 Messaging isn't the problem the problem is these people are conservatives and there aren't conservative Democrats anymore (other than Manchin who has 15 months till he loses his seat)

@conorsen Senate in 2026 is possible but he has no career outside of Georgia his version of the Republican party is dead nationally

Something interesting is if Trump wins the presidency Kemp’s political career is over. It’d ensure 2026 is a blue wave, so no Senate possibility, and Trumpism would be vindicated for 2028. Kemp needs Trump to lose.

Everything Kemp’s doing makes more sense if his goal is 2028 rather than 2026.

@SaintIgnorant @conorsen The only reason Republicans would ever reject Trumpism is if they think it's a loser

@conorsen I could be wrong, but I don't think 4 more years of Trump lays the groundwork for Trumpism in '28

@conorsen He's DOA in a national primary

@PopulismUpdates A nationwide party that isn't the Democrats or the Republicans isn't viable in America it doesn't matter what it is

I don't really think a nationwide Pirate Party would be viable in America without a major electoral system change or like, some mega-celebrity taking up the cause, but you could see a (most likely Dem) primary candidate who campaigns on radical copyright reform etc

@JJ_McCullough It's gonna cause real problems in the West and in parts of East Asia

@JJ_McCullough I think an aging population is harder to see a massive change in than space, medicine, or energy. It becomes a cycle because old people obviously don't have children (or at least have fewer children) so as your population ages you also lose the ability to make it younger

Making that video about predictions from 1978 brought home how captive intellectuals get to a few popular theories about "current trends." Back then, they were all about space, medicine, and energy—today it's stuff relating to birthrates, immigration, and "the aging population."

@lxeagle17 The party won't move on until Trump dies

If anything, Ramaswamy coming in second as a proto-Trump while Trump finishes with >50% in a primary would be a massive vindication of his takeover of the party and be a huge blow to DeSantis, Haley, and everyone else who tried to get the party to “move on”.

The thing with Vivek Ramaswamy’s climb is that Trump very obviously doesn’t view him as a threat, and so he’s currently fairly happy for Vivek to climb into second as DeSantis, Haley, and the other “conventional politicians” flounder.

@LinsanityStrong How would you plan on "prosecuting" a fucking government

I would have told them that the CCP infected their citizens, and get them to join a global COVID origins investigation like the investigation into Donald Trump, then prosecute the CCP, and move on; but you do you. amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/11/30…

@TradingFemale So you have $15k a year in savings, $5k in vacations, and still have $25k left over?

Let's just say you have a $150k salary in LA: - After taxes, your net pay is $98,826 - After rent ($2k p/month) you're at $74,826 - After Utility (~$110) & Wifi ($54.99) you're at $72,826 - After car & health insurance you're at $60,826 - After car payments, you're at $57,226 - After groceries you're at $51,226 - After savings (10% of salary) you're at $36,336 - After eating out once p/week ($50) you're at $33,936 - After Spotify, Netflix, Apple TV, Twitter Blue, etc subscriptions you're at $31,308 - After a few small trips and vacations you're at $26,308 - After your cell phone bill you're at $25,108 What about shopping, gym, student debt, entertainment....? With $150k being a high salary in the US, how does anybody afford to live in a major city?

@davidgoldiner @lxeagle17 They've sucked for a decade now

@lxeagle17 and to your point: No way 18% of Man U fans will dump the team for anything except if they suck for a few years in which case they will run away STAT because they are just there because they are the most powerful team not for loyalty

@REVMAXXING Oh shit what will the US government do now?

Famous Korean singer PSY demands US troops to LEAVE South Korea

@Tigfore @Q_Review They'll say muting them is good enough as if having hate mobs under all your replies is fine as long as only everyone else can see them

@Q_Review You just know an excuse is gonna be "If people are harassing you, just ignore them!" as if there wasn't already a perfectly functioning system that's arbitrarily being removed

That's it, site's over lol

@DJTakozawa @SlaytonStudios @Wierd_o78033920 I haven't watched since Season 23 when I officially lost hope after the Lady Gaga episode but I suppose that was like 11 years ago now lmfao

@MichaelSchettig @SlaytonStudios @Wierd_o78033920 They don't suck anymore, as of recently there aren't really bad episodes they now go from mediocre to good, I recommend Serious Flanders it is such a good episode

It’s funny how this joke is one of the more harsher jabs Family Guy has made at another adult animated show in comparison to the Bojack Horseman one which is literally just the most basic description of the show you could give. That was a slap on the wrist compared to others.

@barstoolsports I didn't get celebrity mashup (and never will) or music but got the other 7
