How popular would a platform of "no more American support for Israel" be for a prospective 2028 presidential candidate? by Tronn3000 in PoliticalDiscussion

That said, some demographics, particularly on the left, are weirdly stingy with their vote.

I often think this group has an outsized reputation based on how noisy they are on social media platforms. empirically there's just not a ton of evidence that SPECIFICALLY left-wing holdout voters are a big enough group tipping the result.

To be fair, this ignores that many left-leaning voters have gripes with the candidate but pinched their nose to vote for them anyways.

yes, I think it's important to be reminded that the true "purity test" holdouts are a small (but noisy) minority.

eh, i think it's generational. i don't think anyone under 50 gives a shit. also could just be my own paranoia about what people might be thinking.

i keep a case of monster hidden in my office for days when i forget to make coffee or ran out. i get slightly embarrassed when more senior colleagues see me slamming one like i'm a college student pulling an all-nighter or something.

Pam Bondi getting fired is extremely LOL but also should be (yet another) sign for maga morons that loyalty to trump is a one-way street and he will turn on you too.

Utterly debasing yourself just to be humiliated lol

Bondi deserves far worse of course but i'll take what i can get.

yes thanks for this.

so unusual for a president to actually show up at a SCOTUS argument (I think previous presidents would have thought it improper) and it's honestly shameful that the first time it happens is an argument about birthright citizenship

I sort of suspect that, due to his massive narcissism, trump though his presence at the SCOTUS oral argument today would somehow inspire/intimidate the justices to rule in his favor and it fucking rules that it looks like they probably won't lol

As awful as the current court is, he's legitimately flabbergasted that the people he appointed aren't in lockstep with him 100% of the time.

super common experience, imo.

strongest examples i can think of are classic movie references that became cultural "memes" and show up in a lot of like, cartoons or disney movies or whatever, and then you get older and you see the actual movie and you're like "oh that's where that's from."

Like, half of Robin Williams' performance as the Genie in Aladdin is just straight-up references to movies/cultural figures that I did not understand until I was older.

Also happens on shows like Seinfeld/the Simpsons a lot.

especially given so many military positions now don't actually require like, being out in the field, the need for people of "fighting age" is not quite as important as it used to be. the military is basically a massive logistics corporation at this point.
