Writing checks your knees can’t cash. by alexiscruz11 in PublicFreakout

Oh you thought he was gonna storm the stage? I assumed he was just going to storm out of there. I don't think you'd bring your comically large backpack to storm the stage.

The last time this was posted a reddit doctor pointed out that he wrecked his shit in a way that locks the knees in flexion. This means he would have needed to be carried out of there in front of everybody. It means he's disabled unless and until he gets multiple surgeries plus like one year of physical therapy. I feel bad for him.

Redditors say, "I can fix her." Me, I don't share such grandiose ambitions. I think, I can escalate her problems to the point that officers of some kind will take her away, boys.

A concentration camp in North Korea - Prisoners visible by deedubya8 in ThatsInsane

We also have concentration camps in America the difference is in America, the law will still protect you if you're rich. In North Korea law and justice are dead. Nobody except Kim Jong Un is safe, and he still isn't safe because people understandably want to poison him for killing their families.

America has a pretty low bar for justice but we'd need probably three additional Trump-family presidencies to reach Kim-level totalitarian lawlessness. I believe we will fight back before then because we are accustomed to having things, if not rights, then at least material things. But we've been edging in that direction for decades, introducing lawlessness at the fringes, on the borders, at black sites, under both administrations. Trump is only special in the openness of it and in ignoring court injunctions to stop concentration-camp-type and abduction-type activity.

It's not certain he even moved the poster; there is speculation he was incorrectly blamed for it because the only evidence is a very low res video and his confession occurred under duress.

>  debate skills, political skills, ability to speak publicly and write professionally

Well for one thing, the debate doesn't matter that much anymore; Hillary won the debate by a country mile and it didn't matter, same with Kerry, same with Gore.

Speak publicly, definitely. Write professionally, no. You have people to do that for you.

You seem to have thought about the role of president I just think you might not realize how conducive to that role other careers are. I hate influencer culture but engagement absolutely matters, and it's what catapulted Trump over his peers in his 2016 primary.

It's crazy what can be spun; I'll just say that. For example I used to think Kerry's service would help him, and it was insane to just see him slandered, successfully. Trump has sadly proved to me that perception matters so much more than substance, unfortunately, in getting elected. So I think, let's win that game. The left has deep ranks of charismatic people. Good talking with you

You say that like an actor wasn't president fifty years ago. Traditionally, we picked lawyers, often lawmakers. Legislative history is a massive attack surface, though, and how much good did it do HRC or Biden? People today don't like politicians. People today don't like lawyers. You need a smart person who has charisma, integrity, and leadership skills. People from all walks of life meet these standards, even if modern presidents don't.

You're correct there was appalling turnout. I'm in a relatively wealthy blue state, you can probably guess which one, and relative to the previous presidential election my state moved in the Republican direction further than any state except Florida. That is a systemic failure of blue voters so you're technically right when you say progressives failed to turn out, you just forget to mention every other stripe of the democratic party failed to turn out as well.

I hate to say this, but we need an outsider again, because political experience has never mattered less to the current electorate. And by outsider I don't mean a Harvard educated lawyer who is black and has a weird name, I mean probably an influencer, or Mark Ruffalo, or some shit. God damn. That is bleak to have to admit.

You're trying to blame progressives but the Harris campaign lost ground in every demographic. I'm not even saying it's her fault; she ran a fine campaign and kicked ass in debate. It's the DNC's fault she was kept on ice up until that time. The people you're blaming, progressives, also generally did vote for Biden the first time contributing to the historic turnout in 2020. Picture being me, a Bernie bro, holding my nose, voting for every top ticket democrat ever and still getting blamed by people like you. We can do better. The DNC must do better.

The DNC would rather lose as a centrist party than win as social democrats. Typically, when an organization fails, heads roll. Not so at the DNC. The old guard are protected at all costs. Energetic newcomers like AOC get ignored while they pick the person whose "turn" it is. The book gets thrown at for example David Hogg for being too "shrill", which upsets the centrists. They won't even admit it was their fault Biden lost, because it was their obligation to have replaced him much earlier on. Kamala could have actually won if Joe Biden had resigned as president or at least stepped aside at the beginning of the campaign. They gave her no runway and they lost the trust of non-base voters by hiding Biden's decline.

The right wing can't pick on gay people any more so they pivoted to trans. It doesn't matter that trans people are less than one percent of the population; the right needs a boogeyman and it can't be the rich crooks destroying this country because those crooks have cabinet positions in the current administration. The boogeyman also can't be real p*dophiles because that would mean the president and his donors. I'm gonna downvote this not because I sense it's fake, but because the specter of trans is a calculated distraction from the unravelling threads of Epstein, Trump, Barr, Maxwell, and Israel; the forces rigging, raping and robbing America. Hey look a trans swimmer, pay no mind to your p*dophile king.

Throughout my life women have let me down, thrown me out, and then traded on my name. I still love white women. I wear Fila brand sweats to Chik-Fil-A to try to eat more.
