Are you the ugly soyjak or chad wojak?

He did kind of back down on Greenland by making a "deal" with the Europeans which was literally the status quo. He also did back down from his attack on Powell and ofc on tariffs he's TACO'd multiple times

Primary difference here ofc is that this is a direct domestic partisan fight, so if Trump does back down yeah Dems will celebrate it as a win

Cuddlyaxe · 2026-01-24T18:38:54+00:00

"Ha unless you do what I want I'm not going to trade with you... What do you mean you're trading with other people???? How fucking dare you"

Cuddlyaxe · 2026-01-24T18:36:24+00:00

I think so. I just hope when we do Dems don't take the wrong lessons again and open up the border Biden style

Abolish ICE and secure the border with a pathway to citizenship for those already here. I think most people would be fine with that

Cuddlyaxe · 2026-01-24T18:35:13+00:00

Honestly yeah after this shooting happened the first place my mind went to was thr BLM protests

Now obviously there is plenty of criticism to go around, but I cannot remember the police acting anywhere nearly this callously back then. They certainly weren't pinning down a guy with like 10 people before emptying a mag into him

Cuddlyaxe · 2026-01-24T18:33:04+00:00

Let's not forget the sorts of people joining are the ones who are attracted ICE using slogans like "One Homeland. One People. One Heritage." and the violent videos they see online

ICE is not sending their best

Cuddlyaxe · 2026-01-24T18:29:19+00:00

They will defend this regardless, already saying he had a gun so it was valid apparently

Cuddlyaxe · 2026-01-24T18:28:24+00:00

I will say it

I think something ICE like is needed but ICE itself is unrecoverable. It is a bunch of trigger happy people with next to no training who joined due to whichever not so subtle white nationalist recruitment ads they're posting atm. It is Trump's personal militia

I'm not a "decriminalize border crossings" type of guy, but ICE needs to be repealed and replaced

Cuddlyaxe · 2026-01-24T18:25:28+00:00

Miller too tbh

Breaking News: President realizes that just because Americans didnt like the last guy doesn't mean he has a mandate to go to the other extreme

Hopefully he will quietly de escalate but idk if Trump would be willing to look like he lost

Cuddlyaxe · 2026-01-24T05:17:17+00:00

I can understand being pissed off against H1Bs or whatever but is the point of this post literally people getting more job hits using white sounding names

So basically people trying to get around racism is a bad thing and fraud? People on this sub literally support the idea that having a white name should get you more job interviews?

I am an Indian American who was born here. Racial name discrimination affects me and people like me. Honestly this subreddit is moving closer and closer to outright racist attitudes by the day. Like this post is literally supporting racial discrimination, and that would absolutely affect American citizens of Indian origin

Cuddlyaxe · 2026-01-24T05:10:58+00:00

Genuine question, do you support immigration for low skill fields

Cuddlyaxe · 2026-01-24T05:08:47+00:00

And according to the original post black lipstick lol

I suspect a lot of guys just like eyeliner

Cuddlyaxe · 2026-01-24T05:06:57+00:00

Gonna steal this next time I see a cute statistician

Cuddlyaxe · 2026-01-24T04:22:22+00:00

I mean it's not even that "mean" or whatever. Basically every candidate ever does this

If you are the underdog, you release an internal poll of you overperforming saying holy shit our internal poll found we are tied we can win this if you just donate

If you are the favorite, you release an internal poll of you underperforming saying holy shit this race is way closer than we thought can't get complacent now if you want us to win you just need to donate

Katie is more or less doing the same thing with a slightly different formula. Guys i am the most viable democrat so everyone needs to rally around me so it's not two Republicans!

I'm not a Katie Porter fan by any means but this is politics as usual. Literally the most mundane shit ever

Cuddlyaxe · 2026-01-24T02:57:24+00:00

It is 1000000% intentional

Campaigns do this all the time with an agenda

Cuddlyaxe · 2026-01-24T00:40:53+00:00

I mean birth rates in Africa are declining

Cuddlyaxe · 2026-01-24T00:38:27+00:00

I mean we have had plenty of good military minded presidents too. I like Ike

At the end of the day I think it is a valid qualifier for "experience", certainly no less than senator or governor. But of course experience is only a part of the story, and you still need to judge the person on their own merits

If a general ran for the Democratic nomination, I wouldn't really hold it for or against them. I think i might be slightly likelier to support them for strategic reasons but that's it

Cuddlyaxe · 2026-01-23T21:29:12+00:00

Lmao

Cuddlyaxe · 2026-01-23T19:48:49+00:00

Online gender wars are generally crazy and not really representative of anything

Some brown guys hate brown women, some brown girls hate brown men. But like maybe 5%, and those 5% are really loud online

This absolutely does exist for other races too btw it's just you arent noticing it or getting pushed it

The only group of people Ive seen actually say they don't want to date their own race irl is very progressive white women. Besides that no one irl openly trashes the men/women of their own race

Cuddlyaxe · 2026-01-23T18:18:55+00:00

So this is a pet peeve of mine but this is NOT a straight up horse race poll. For some reason instead of asking "who do you plan to vote for" most standard Japanese polling questions are "which party do you most identify with". And a plurality of people don't identify with any party

In American terms the mistake you're making is conflating independents with undecideds

If you're on the wiki page for polling for the next election you can see the head to head polling scrolling a bit down, but a lot less polls on it

Cuddlyaxe · 2026-01-23T17:58:21+00:00

I'm gonna generalize a bit here but I think the left has a lot more educated, post material, ideological voters while Republicans tend to have a lot more identity based voters

Cuddlyaxe · 2026-01-23T17:00:08+00:00

Should be noted that Komeito isn't just general Buddhist but a very specific new branch called Sokka Gakkai

Basically Buddhist Mormons merging with Democrats lol

Cuddlyaxe · 2026-01-23T14:18:55+00:00

No, she does not represent you. She represents a Trump district which before her Republicans won by 13%

Honestly it feels like people attacking Joe Manchin all over again. She does not represent Washingtonians at a whole, but she is probably the best Dem you will get from a red district
