tensazangetsu20: Na Bentley you one buy no be Bugatti! Tech will do it when you migrate to the US. You might need some help by marrying a high-paying professional. It'll be a stressful marriage and you may burn out when the kids come, but it's very doable. The only hiccup is when you want to have a garage full of those beauts bought brand new. Then you'd need to be a co-founder; be part of C-suite at a Fortune 500; or a combination of good luck, excellent investment, and taking some unorthodox path. But if it's the relatively modest seven-figure home, four-car garage (one of which is a Bentley Flying Spur bought used that isn't your daily driver), you got nothing to worry about. Look up lease prices for older model Bentleys. Compare it to rent of a 3 bedroom in a major US tech hub. It'll put things in perspective. -Lord 5 Likes 3 Shares |

Ibime: https://www.amazon.com/Forgotten-Pennsylvania-Elected-Changed-America/dp/0316515736 Read this book. You act like any of this is new. Systems thrive when most participants excel. Folks who are falling behind in a system would turn to whomever promises to right the ship or correct its course. On the right, that is a populist like Trump who wants to deport every illegal immigrant. On the left, it'll be a progressive like Bernie who wants to confiscate the wealth of anyone who earns more than 400K. This is not the first time this is happening. When King George raised taxes to unsustainable levels, the American colonies stumbled on the bright idea "no taxation without representation". That laid the foundation for the United States and the modern form of democracy you champion. And we're near the same levels where the government levy taxes, the unelected bureaucrats do whatever they want like the Monarchy, and there's no way for the hoi polloi to force a change in direction. You don't have to be a genius to realize this is unsustainable and that Trump's populism is a natural reaction to this rehashed set of circumstances. You want people who have been coal or factory workers for years and have lost their jobs to outsourcing to just accept it. Border communities should just accept millions of illegal immigrants streaming across the border when inflation is raging, there is a housing crisis, and infrastructure is failing. Espousing that no one, literally no one has a legitimate reason to sign up for Trump's populism is the kind of haughty elitism that drives even more dislike for the privileged, coastal professionals and their "civil servant" enablers. You are essentially waving a huge banner that says, "I DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT YOUR COST OF LIVING CRISIS OR YOUR LOST JOBS" Accept your condition or be labeled a racist, fascist, sexist, Islamophobe, deplorable. That is not a winning argument. But winning hearts and minds doesn't matter anyway because you've got the unelected bureaucrats who would do whatever they like. It is just clear, unfiltered, transparent classist disdain. The vast majority of minorities and immigrants adopt this position. And then you all wonder why natives detest your guts and want to shut the doors. Like you can't connect the dots. -Lord 3 Likes 1 Share |

Ibime: Text in bold is not a good thing. Having a permanent power in the shadows that actually run things while the folks who are elected become mere ineffectual figureheads is completely antithetical to democratic tenets. Lincoln defined democracy as a "government of the people, by the people, and for the people". I don't see civil servants mentioned. The minute the direction of a democracy or republic cannot be steered "by the people", it ceases to be legitimate and a major reset is required. This ability of civil servants and unelected bureaucrats and mandarins to dictate the fate of the Western hemisphere is the primary reason why people are disillusioned about the system. You are a fan of it because you found your place in this system. For the disaffected, those who have fallen behind, and those who are not as privileged, a system that cannot be overhauled or changed through the ballot because apparently voting is meaningless, is a nightmare. And somehow you're surprised that they're turning to the guy who wants to crash such a system. -Lord 1 Like 1 Share |

A40: I think the Trump campaign is still testing messaging to see what sticks. The thing about policy is that yea, it is the best way to campaign. But this is America. If you play it completely above board, you risk creating the impression that your opponent is a stand-up, likable, fun person that just has a couple wrong ideas. That's dangerous because the Dems are trying to paint her as the female Obama. I don't care what her policies are, if they're successful in pushing that narrative, she becomes the favorite. No question about that. Even today, Obama could come out and espouse the same position as Kamala; for instance, that it's time to ditch fracking. And some Trump 2016/2020 voters will be like, he may have a point. Same position, but different personalities will switch their responses and votes. A Wisconsin female Trump voter called Harris an "id**t" on TV. https://www.msnbc.com/morning-joe/watch/-i-think-she-s-an-idiot-wisconsin-female-trump-voters-weigh-in-on-harris-215542853858 She would never use that same epithet for Obama. She'll probably be swooning. As such it is imperative to point out that even though she has horrible positions; she's personally a complete let-down. She is no orator. She does not command respect amongst Americans allies. No one in the Axis is scared of her (like can you tell anyone with a straight face that Kamala can stand up to Xi). Biden's primary criteria for filling his VP slot was "black woman" like Ketanji Brown. She failed to win over anyone in her party in 2020. Her off-the-cuff musings leave much to be desired. You need to push all of that personal sh*t. So it becomes like, she is a terrible policy wonk and simultaneously certainly not the best on the Democrat roster. That will deflate Democrat enthusiasm, get many left-leaning voters to stay home, and reinforce Red momentum. -Lord 1 Like |

reccy: American politics can sometimes go way overboard with violent rhetoric. A 22-yr old democrat ran over an 80-yr old Trump supporter with his ATV in Michigan. What caused it? Trump sign that the senior placed on his property. The 22-yr old assailant called police, confessed, then committed suicide. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2024/07/24/atv-driver-trump-sign-michigan/74523968007 This happened this week.

You all cannot be concerned about banning a guy who posted allegedly proprietary trade secrets that were illegally obtained.

I just don't see why you have a problem with something your side does with a grin on your faces. You guys suppressed the Hunter Biden laptop story and banned accounts that shared it.

A40: Harris is not likable. Her favorability is underwater. He can take potshots at her, since she's not holding back. She called Trump a predator. The good thing though is that he has a lot of arrows in the quiver. So the personal attacks complement actual verifiable failings and policy positions that would not resonate with Middle America. I watched his NC rally. He spent more than half a hour reeling her positions. When they're going so far as erasing her records on GovTrack and Axios is stealth editing old articles calling her a Border Czar, you know we're landing punches. She was in charge of the border and she only visited once. She went to South America and came back with nothing. Millions more poured in and some of the illegal immigrants ended up committing brutal crimes. She said she's in favor of banning fracking and in her time in the Senate she was left of Biden. She has cheered every Biden misstep and cannot extricate herself from Biden's awful records. She owns it. Trump should be relentless in the attacks. Both personal and policy-wise. Don't separate them. Weave them together. Personally, I like that some Republicans are spooked by Harris' emergence and initial enthusiasm. Many of them were beginning to fall into the 2016 Clinton Dem trap where they expected the election to become a walkover. They need to go all out and not let up until election day. -Lord 6 Likes 1 Share |

IMAliyu2: America is not a monolith. A popular policy in Oregon will be scorned at in South Dakota. Turns out, the swing states are fundamentally centrist. So on very divisive topics like abortion, fracking, weed; it is best to be take a middle-of-the-road opinion than say the kind of stuff that'll win you a landslide in California. For instance, if Newsom were to run today, he will get destroyed because he just signed a law that allow educators to hide transition of minors from parents. That may be popular in California, but in PA, MI, WI, AR, GA. That will guarantee a loss. So this weed stuff, even though it does not sound like a big deal, it may turn off the union, senior historical dem voter in the MidWest. The US is weird like that. -Lord 1 Like |
