Obama - "I voted for Obama" We knew that the reason why most "gladly" voted for him was because of the bubble/recession etc that was happening at that time.

The 2008 recession was also global at that time hope you know and why will anyone blame anyone for it or need a savior?

Obama in 2012 won 692 counties, Hillary 4yrs later won about 490 counties

All this shows is the deliberate strategy by Trump and Bannon of hanging every leftist crackpot idea or incident on the Democrats has gotten through to Americans.

It's a shame the so called right hasn't moved right in the picture.

The GOP of today is the Tea party of 2012, so tell me how the left is the only one moving.

This is the feeling of someone who was always right wing

And what's stupid about it is the options to vote for in the Dems are not the far left, but the same centrists as 2012, while the options to vote for in the GOP are full blown Tea Party that would make Sarah Palin look mild. So tell me who has moved more? You couldn't find a Trump in GOP ballot in 2012. You find a Biden in 2012 and also 2020. You guys are triggered by culture wars instigated by your own party, the fringe elements of the left are amplified by your own party, not by Pelosi and co. The choice for Dems are same as they were in 2008 and 2012, so tell me who changed. Too much watching of culture war narratives brainwash you guys into believing the Dems have gone extreme left. Conservative playbook right now is pick any anarchist action and blame it on the Dems.

Elon is either salty because a tranny (Chelsea Manning) is fücking his ex-wife and raising his kids, or he's making an aggressive business move to drive Truth Social out of the market which is one of the business threats to Twitter

You are right. Baba will rather commit warcrines than lose war.

He's already done that to Donbass region down to Mariupol. If he came to liberate those areas, what he will inherit is a pile of rubble.

He will never take defeat because he's a strongman authoritarian. Strongmen can't lose war and keep their Kingdom. He will bomb to smithereens. So far the only place he's bombed to smithereens is Mariupol as that was a strategic port to connect Dombass to the sea.

He is interested in
1. ACCESS TO SEA
2. RICH FERTILE LANDS
3. RICH IRON ORE
4. GAS

So Putin 8s smart he is inheriting a lot

Do you see your problem? Haven't you been following the debacle of libsoftiktok?

This is nothing about trump or Bannon, it is about liberals showing their true color.

Elon musk is 100% correct. You know they now say he is a racist, he wants apartheid in the US, a pedophile, WS, etc. That's all coming from the left which is pushing him center-right.

JK Rowlings is in the same boat. The left cannot reason with anyone who tries to say men are men and women are women these days. His depiction is correct.

Are you gonna just be there and lie to yourself?

Also, Biden is not the one running things. And if you really open your eyes, you will see leftist agender everywhere. From picking his vice president to picking gay up and down in positions. If they are qualified no problem, but Kamala is not qualified, Jackson is not qualified. Making noise about how you gonna pick someone based on their minority spectrum instead of just picking them shows an agenda.

Yes, the first "coup" in history by a sitting President against a presidential candidate.
Yet the day the real actual coup attempt took place; the day left allied terrorists chased the president into the bunker, set fire to parts of the Govt House and wounded presidential guards, everybody left and right shouted the president down from declaring insurrection.
The left has stopped trying to make sense because there is none to be made.

Russia is making grounds in Ukraine with their new wave/strategy. The west have failed Ukraine by not giving them enough to push Russia out.

The west also failed with the meaningless sanctions. Russia was so cornered by sanction that it cut off gas supply to Poland.

Sanctions worked so well that the Russian economy grew in the 1st quarter & the American economy shrank.

All what you posted is the perspective of a follower of American politics from outside. From London, Lagos, Canada your only concern about politics is who is in white house, but for people inside dealing with everyday life, the person in DC is the least in their mind.
All politics is local. Its the local policies of both parties that matter to people living day to day here

When you have one party claiming they want to defund police, decriminalize crime, Against the concept of paying for good bought(you can steal goods of certain prices without prosecution), They want to teach kids under 9yrs about sexuality without parental consent, they want to increase taxes as much as possible and punish success.

These are things that reverberate with local people more than the man in DC or what Biden is doing. Maybe Biden does not support some of these but they are policies being drummed up in blue dominated areas of the country. That is why many people are fleeing Democrat area to Republican ones because who the man in DC is does not make a difference when police down their tools and crime spikes in your neighborhood

What are the core Democrat beliefs and what are the core Republican beliefs? Republicans still believe in lower taxes, Law enforcement, free market economy and the concept of family

Democrats are not only for higher taxes but actually for socialism, before being a socialist used to be treasonable, now its mainstream, a few of the Democratic presidential candidates are self acclaimed Socialists. Almost everything Obama campaigned on in 2008 would make him a center right candidate today

That is why DC Democrats are railing at people like Manchin while his approval ratings in his WV is through the roof.

Lol, this is myopic. Really really

So now because you are homosexual, you can't get into office?

Face the point of the argument.

Apart from student loan cancelations (which Biden isn't really going for). Tell me one main democratic talking point that wasn't talked about 14 years ago.

Show me a better-qualified person than kentaji.

Show me one, and also state the qualifications for Supreme Court justice that she doesn't have

You better remove that tin foil on your head and think

You say Trump is qualified for president, but Kamala isn't qualified to be Vice. Tell me the Required qualifications of the Vice President lets compare them with the previous 48

And show me how she isn't

The only underlining factor is your misogyny is getting the better part of you

If you are sure kentaji or Kamala doesn't qualify show me how they don't qualify based on their abilities

Not based on their gender.

No, not what I am saying. I made that point that if you are homosexual and you are qualified, fine... But Biden shouldn't be echoing he wants homosexual here and he wants black there... His vice is not qualified. Stacy Abrams could have been better.

A woman who excuses predators and child abuse offenders is not qualified. You can't see this Timi? I mean, kavanaugh was not qualified because he drank beer.

That's just what your side amplify to you everyday.

It's a well known tactic. Extremists love to point at other extremists and make them the opposition rather than the centrists.

Out of hundreds of Reps and Senators, only the 5 in the squad fit the criteria above. But when you feast on daily diet of culture wars, you think the whole democratic party is as such. Even a minor local councillor in Democratic party with radical ideas gets front-page coverage in your GOP news cycle. In UK, we have minor local councillors on the fringe, types that will support Iran Palestine, Cuba etc and they are ignored. Such is healthy for cohesion in society.

Politics has always had a decorum before Bannons playbook was enacted by the GOP. Each party has a small fringe of extreme elements but you would hardly see the GOP, McCain, Bush or Romney hammering on about the civil rights extremists on the other side, neither will you see Clinton or Obama or the Dems hammering on the borderline Nazis in the other party.

Even in UK today, we have a couple of extremists in Labour Party and you don't see the Conservatives giving them any airplay. That's how responsible politics should be practiced.

I can never forget my guy Bernie Grant, MP for Tottenham, a staunch Pan African who always calls for reparations and wears Agbada to House of Commons. If the Conservative party had focussed on him and amplified him, it would tear Britain apart. That's what modern day GOP playbook is. I don't believe this bullshit, you are only saying what your GOP forcefeed you everyday which is a dishonourable way to conduct political discourse.

Out of hundreds of Reps and Senators, only the 5 in the squad fit the criteria above. But when you feast on daily diet of culture wars, you think the whole democratic party is as such. Even a minor local councillor in Democratic party with radical ideas gets front-page coverage in your GOP news cycle. In UK, we have minor local councillors on the fringe, types that will support Iran Palestine, Cuba etc and they are ignored. Such is healthy for cohesion in society.

Politics has always had a decorum before Bannons playbook was enacted by the GOP. Each party has a small fringe of extreme elements but you would hardly see the GOP, McCain, Bush or Romney hammering on about the civil rights activists on the other side, neither will you see Clinton or Obama or the Dems hammering on the borderline Nazis in the other party.

Even in UK today, we have a couple of extremists in Labour Party and you don't see the Conservatives giving them any airplay. That's how responsible politics should be practiced.

I can never forget my guy Bernie Grant, MP for Tottenham, a staunch Pan African who always calls for reparations and wears Agbada to House of Commons. If the Conservative party had focussed on him and amplified him, it would tear Britain apart. That's what modern day GOP playbook is. I don't believe this bullshit, you are only saying what your GOP forcefeed you everyday which is a dishonourable way to conduct political discourse.

Its not just what some members of congress are saying, Its what has been implemented in sme Democrat led cities

Like decriminalising crime

When Chesa Boudin ran for San Francisco district attorney in 2019, he said crime was caused by poverty, wealth inequality and inadequate government spending on social programs. He called prostitution, open drug use and drug dealing “victimless crimes” and promised not to prosecute them. The result has been an increase in crime so sharp that San Francisco’s liberal residents are now paying for private security guards, taking self-defense classes, and supporting a recall of Mr. Boudin, with a vote set for June 2022. Retailers like Walgreens and Target are closing stores in the city, citing rampant shoplifting. Last week, a shockingly organized mob of looters ransacked a downtown Louis Vuitton store.

Like defunding the Police

Portland, Oregon, cut $15m from its budget and disbanded a gun violence reduction unit and transit team that had both long been accused of over-policing Black communities. San Francisco officials pledged to divest $120m from police over two years with plans to invest in health programs and workforce training. Minneapolis is using police cuts to launch a mental health team to respond to certain 911 calls.

New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Seattle, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, Baltimore and a dozen other cities have all also reduced police spending.

Like higher taxes

Homeowners in the Chicago area are paying higher property tax bills, on average, than 93 percent of the country, according to a new report.

The average 2017 tax bill on a single-family home in Lake County was higher than nearly 99 percent of the 1,414 U.S. counties covered by the report, released yesterday by Attom Data Solutions.

The region's other counties aren't far behind. The average bill in DuPage County is higher than nearly 98 percent, followed by Kane County and McHenry County (both 96 percent), Cook County (94 percent) and Will County (93 percent)

These are not mere rhetoric's, these are actions already taken in liberal cities that have impacted the people living there and others fear if the Democrats take charge they will implement similar policies in their areas. These were not done by the squad, they were done by local politicians and they have impacted the lives of their citizens

The man you posted how does his Agbada wearing affect anyone? Unlike crime schools and taxes that affect all
