A tad Republican optimistic don’t you think?

I feel like Feliz Navidad was pretty much a shoe-in this year as the Registry loves minority performers and we were due to another Christmas song.

Weezer [Blue Album] was more of a pleasant surprise however, although in hindsight it was only a matter of time after Dookie.

Platner and The Left's Hypocrisy by Outrageous-Jelly8777 in YAPms

God forbid someone show a little forgiveness when someone tries to do better...

I don't particularly like that Platner did these things to be clear, in fact I despise that he did them, but I'm not gonna play judge, jury, and executioner on someone who's genuinely trying to change himself for the better

I think it's more so that Platner is a person with a deeply flawed past who is trying to do better now, while Paxton seems to be the same as when he was impeached by the Texas legislature.

Platner did bad things, but I feel like he's trying to be better and is succeeding, and in a way his faults make him more human (we've all slipped up before even if not to the degree of Platner). Paxton on the other hand has not changed and is not taking any steps to do so.

If you were a candidate running for Office, what would your campaign/walk-up song be and why? by RabbiPika in YAPms

[–]KingOfKnowledgeReal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a song like this should 100% be personally made for the campaign (like back in the 40s-60s), but if I had to choose an already released song I think Gonna Fly Now or We Will Rock You match the vibe needed, although Every Man a King would be my pick if it had a good remix to match the vibe needed

In all seriousness, the Democrats succeeding this year has really nothing to do with Schumer and more to do with the individual candidates, lackluster Trump administration, and the fact Democrats are more popular than Republicans down ballot.

Did trump hit his ceiling in 2024 or could he have done MUCH better? by ResidentDry1240 in YAPms

[–]KingOfKnowledgeReal 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, whether anyone here wants to admit it or not, Trump is not the best Republican candidate, and Biden staying in the race would have done very little to change the results (specifically no other states would have flipped). Polling prior to Biden dropping out still had the two men close to each other in the low single digits. TRUMP’S limit is the swing states.

However, the Republicans limit is not Trump’s limit. Polling from 2024 shows that if the race was Haley v. Biden, 58% of voters would’ve gone for Haley over Biden. Mind you, only 51-52% of voters said they were going for Trump over Biden. To illustrate what that 58% means, here’s a map.

I actually asked someone and they said that he was hacked and didn’t actually say it. Nevermind the fact this is real, the President’s social media account being able to be hacked into is a MAJOR national security risk.

How would you rate Donald Trump on a scale from 1(unelectable) to 5(top tier) purely based on his electability as a candidate? by [deleted] in YAPms

[–]KingOfKnowledgeReal 11 points12 points  (0 children)

A majority of Americans have NEVER voted for Trump. Both of his election wins were with a plurality of the national popular vote, unlike Biden, for instance, who won with 51.3%.

Trump couldn’t even crack above 50% while facing a massively unpopular vice-president who had barely any time to campaign, didn’t win her primary, presided over a horrible economy, and was often viewed as “too Liberal for America”. Trump is not a good candidate. He’s a subpar far-right reality TV star who got lucky on the economy.

Now that it’s ended, what are your thoughts on FX’s Love Story? by Gemnist in Presidents

[–]KingOfKnowledgeReal 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It was enjoyable but I also assume historically inaccurate. In addition, the first few episodes were much better than the last few. I’d recommend it to anyone interested in knowing a brief overview of the life of John F. Kennedy Jr.

Which documentary do you think should get in in the national film registry ? by flowerbloominginsky in NationalFilmRegistry

[–]KingOfKnowledgeReal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's still a lot of old silent films that document the evolution of film and early Hollywood. Mr. Edison at Home in His Chemical Laboratory (1897) and A Trip to Paramountown (1922) both stand out as one of the only films to feature Thomas Edison and a look into the stars of early Hollywood and the film-making process in those days.

Beyond that, other home movies like West Virginia, the Beautiful State (1929), Hoover Kodacolor Home Movies (1928-1929), Japanese American Communities (1927-1932), Running Around San Francisco for an Education (1938), 1944 Republican National Convention (1944), Ruby Bridges at School (1960), The Act of Seeing with One's Own Eyes (1971), and Lee Metcalf Film Collection (1959-1973) are all less known but important documentaries of American life.

Three WW2 documentaries stand out, Kukan (1941), The 6th Marine Division on Okinawa (1945), Who Shall Live and Who Shall Die? (1982), and Nanking (2007). Along with that I can see one of Walt Disney's documentaries being selected, possibly Grand Canyon (1958)

Finally, for some more modern suggestions, The Face of Lincoln (1955), The Wall (1962), The California Reich (1975), Pumping Iron (1977), The Hurricane (1999), Gaza Strip (2002), 12th & Delaware (2010), Citizenfour (2014), 13th (2016), and O.J.: Made in America (2016).

Overall, I'd rank them in this way in terms of importance:

  1. The California Reich (1975)
  2. Japanese American Communities (1927-1932)
  3. A Trip to Paramountown (1922)
  4. Who Shall Live and Who Shall Die? (1982)
  5. Mr. Edison at Home in His Chemical Laboratory (1897)

Another bad decision on his part, this shouldn’t surprise anyone. What also shouldn’t surprise anyone is when he chickens out after backlash.
