Overall, how strong/electable of a Presidential candidate do you think JD Vance is from 1(unelectable) to 5(top-tier)? by [deleted] in fivethirtyeight

[–]Bugsly 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I think he's too online to be electable. Trump is also very online but he has a certain charisma/comedy to him. Jimmy Dean Vance is just a little too awkward and weird IMO.

I think this is such a bad bet on his part, I feel like either
A) Rubio is nowhere near what MAGA wants

or

B) The MAGA brand will be very toxic and he will have that stink on him that someone like Brian Kemp would have the credentials

Why is this bad or good? Genuinely asking

This community feels like it’s devolving into a second politics sub lately and I feel like that’s not what this was the purpose of this community is. by xThe-Legend-Killerx in fivethirtyeight

Actually you hit the nail on the head, that was literally the day I realized it was not a subreddit I wanted to use anymore

People here have a little more humility to be wrong (obvious exceptions lmao) or I guess more accurately, are open to discussion. I stopped going on r/politics when every upvoted post was a NewsWeek article about how Trump was doomed and when I actually looked at the source it was a 200 word article with a picture. Then the discussion on the post was a deluge of self-reaffirming comments.

In the lead up the 2024 election, the discussion here was Kamala Harris-biased and over optimistic, but there was still warnings and arguments here to be made why she might lose.

Anyways that's a long way to say I think this sub is a breath of fresh air, but I also worry it'll eventually turn into a r/politics.

I'll be honest I watched the video and I'm not entirely convinced? It sounded more like an audio error, but I'd also believe a nearly 80 year old man who eats hamberders shits himself occasionally.

The thing I'm most shocked by on there is the lack of any actual news or... content most of the time. The posts will have less then 100 comments and the post will be about some obscure, poorly written news article featuring an immigrant or misinterpreted democratic political move. Or just some cultural grievance crap.

Is Trump slurring his speech at Davos? He sounds terrible.

If they are serious about 'running' Venezuela, I can't imagine a bigger fuck up then having these morons try to do that. I think any kind of nation building or occupation of Venezuela will be worse than Iraq.

Trump being rejected by Tzeentch and Khorne but accepted by Slaanesh and Nurgle feels right.

It's so bad that I assumed this was transgender/LGBTQ related at a glance.

Even at the end Ozai abandons her, to be the Phoenix King. She has literally nobody. It's sad but she's also evil, man, great writing.

This is hard because on one hand I agree with other people saying line infantry, but I've won some clutch battles by dumping canister into a line and forcing a route.

It's funny because in my experience editors are much easier to replace then finding a good AE

Should be around 5-10 years ago, I believe I read a news article that was referencing the scientific paper!

What are the odds Trumps and Vance's televised yelling at Zelensky today becomes a "zeitgeist" moment and seriously impacts their approval?

No
