The Biden mistake within the mistake is his silence on the crime and violence epidemic. The fact that nearly all these cities are run by Democrats puts a special obligation on Biden and his party to find solutions.



But you can’t solve a problem you don’t acknowledge, and the failure to address the urban bloodshed is a major miss.

If that pattern continues all week, Dems will have given Trump a major opening. Count on him hammer it home until November.

Bill Clinton’s convention speech in 2016 was horrible, he spent all his time trying to humanize Shillary and it came off as forced, but prior to that his convention speeches were legendary. Hopefully they told him to take the gloves off and go after Trump in his speech.

Meanwhile with Hillary I don’t see any positive outlook. It would be best if her speech was an apology about how running an awful campaign and losing to Trump is her biggest regret, but god knows her ego won’t ever allow for that. I’m sure it’ll be her telling voters they made a mistake in 2016 and that they shouldn’t do it again, since with Hillary it’s everyone else’s fault but hers.

Why is West Virginia dead last in median family income among all 50 states? It’s over 90% white, extremely religious, has a Republican Governor, a Republican super majority at the state legislature level and one of the most deregulated business environments in the country. West Virginia is very much the homogeneous conservative utopia that Republicans think the rest of the country should be, why is it so fucking poor?

The question was rhetorical :lol, my overall point was that blaming West Virginia's problems on conservative politicians at the state/local level makes about as much sense as blaming Baltimore or Detroit's problems on liberal politicians at the state/local level. The major problems facing WV/Baltimore/Detroit/etc. (namely a lack of jobs stemming from automation and globalism) weren't caused by policy at the state/local level and can't be fixed by policy at the state/local level.

It's not a swing senate race. Doug Jones trailed Tuberville 52% to 35% in the most recent poll and 50% to 40% in the poll prior to that. Jones' only shot at keeping the seat was capitalizing on the rift between Sessions and Trump if Sessions won the primary, once Trump's candidate won the primary that race was open and shut.

Regardless, I agree that candidates in winnable races like Cal Cunningham and Sara Gideon should be getting national exposure, if for no reason other than money raising purposes. Gabby Giffords is speaking at the convention which effectively is exposure for Mark Kelly. Hickenlooper is a scumbag so I'm fine with him getting no exposure. If he actually needs a boost from national exposure to win a senate race in Colorado, the Dems might as well burn it all down at that point.

Yeah, Hickenlooper is a scumbag but he's up +10 in the polls, and likewise in the polls for Kelly, so I don't think either of those matter. The Hispanic-majority SW states should be considered the New Blue Wall, long term imo.

I am voting for a national recognition of the founding of our nation on Biblical principles. I am voting for the ability for anyone to rise above their circumstances and become successful. I am voting for my children and grandchildren to be able to choose their own path in life, including how and where their children are educated. I am voting for our borders to be open to everyone who enters under our law and closed to everyone who would circumvent or ignore the law. I am voting for the Electoral College to remain in place, so that a few heavily populated liberal centers do not control the elections. I am voting for a Supreme Court that interprets the Constitution rather than rewrites it. I am voting to teach history, with all of it’s warts, not erase it or revise it. I am voting for the sanctity of life from conception to birth and after.
Now, there are some things I am voting against. I am voting against open borders. I am voting against a rampant welfare system that enslaves it’s recipients. I am voting against socialism, in all of it’s forms, including health care, redistribution, reparations, economics, governmental control, pedophilia, and criminal releases, etc. I would rather pay for prison reform then see the criminals released to repeatedly commit the same crimes!
So, although I don’t give blanket approval to everything our President has done or said in the past, I do support him as our president!

I heard McCain's wife might speak or will speak. Dems are desperate.
She narrated a video that I actually think was content people will be receptive to, I'd be very surprised if she's speaking again.

I wouldn't call it desperation, I'd call it tone deafness and groupthink. 63% of Democrats wanted to hear from AOC, 38% wanted to hear from Kasich, but the Clinton-era Democratic Party is convinced milquetoast establishment candidates win elections vs. anti-establishment idealists who drive enthusiasm (btw, Kasich couldn't help himself from getting in a pissing match with AOC, which kinda hurts the "united party" message they're trying to convey). They still don't understand that ORANGE MAN BAD isn't a good enough reason in and of itself for solid liberal voter turnout. Take Jimmy Dore for example - whatever their opinion is of him, he has 790k followers on youtube, most of which are left leaning adults with at least some interest in politics. Would it really be that hard for them to consult Dore on what it would take for him to tell his listeners to vote for Biden? They're just not interested in differing opinions.

The Trump criticism was also dull - we didn't need to hear three different establishment retreads (Clinton, Schumer and Kerry) all repeat the same ORANGE MAN BAD! talking points. The older blue blood Dems who might actually care about what those guys have to say already vote with good turnout, the younger voters who are more fickle have no interest in hearing from Jeffrey Epstein's wingman or the only Dem nominee in the last 30 years who was so milquetoast he couldn't even win the popular vote. Schumer is the highest ranking Dem in the senate so he kinda needs to be a speaker, but neither Kerry nor Clinton should have had a role. The obvious takeaway from 2016 was that it's time for a changing of the guard, and the DNC is fighting that changing of the guard every step of the way.

The best feature from last night was the guy with ALS. If the DNC doesn't want the younger progressive to have a platform, they'd be better off doing more shit like the ALS thing vs. letting the same retreads give the same speech.

Her speech was a formality dude, not sure if you know this and you're purposefully being obtuse or if you actually think AOC went rogue and endorsed Bernie. Someone had to be the speaker endorsing Bernie as a candidate who received delegates, and they chose her.

It's not Biden fans who are pissed about her speech, it's AOC fans/progressives (like me) who are pissed that they gave John Kasich a 4 minute speech to ramble about "crossroads" (figuratively and literally) but all they gave AOC was a formality speech no one cares about. It would have been less offensive if they didn't give her a speaking role at all instead of making her the token Bernie supporter.

Trump's campaign should start a rumor that AOC refused to give a speech endorsing Biden so they made her a procedural speaker who had no relevance.

A McCain endorsement would actually help in a pivotal swing state (Arizona) so the DNC retards wouldn't be interested. They prefer GOP endorsements that are pointless and do nothing but piss off progressive voters.

The GOP endorsements they got on Monday were really important though - a silicon valley billionaire, the former governor of NJ, and an ex-GOP congresswoman from NY. Ensuring Biden wins California, New York and New Jersey by at least 25% instead of just 20% while only further painting the Dems as the party of coastal elitists will go a long way towards helping him win the electoral college :rolleyes

I know it's your reflexive instinct to defend the establishment and blame progressives, but it doesn't make any sense to blame AOC for the role that she was given by the DNC/Biden Campaign. It's not her job to run a clean convention that unites the party, it's the DNC's job and the Biden Campaign's job. She didn't have the option of doing her own personal speech, it was the role they gave her and she did what she was told. It's not her responsibility to consider the political ramifications of the 90 second procedural speech she gave.

I think we're talking past each other.

What (I think) hater said (in a very strange way) is that AOC's speech could be taken out of context to make it look like she went rogue in order to inflame fighting.

My point was that even though you and I know her speech was a non-issue, the average American draws hasty conclusions with incomplete information, and our mainstream media loves to feed sensationalism, case and point being NBC News' ridiculously deceptive tweet about AOC's speech.

Regarding 2016 - it wasn't a big deal because Tulsi was an unknown. There wasn't any anticipation for her speech, and no one gave a shit. AOC is considered by most to be the heir apparent to Bernie as the leader of the progressive left, and the big question mark heading into the convention was whether Biden could unite his moderate supporters with AOC's progressive supporters. This led to a buildup around what AOC was going to say, why she only got a minute, etc., and in reality all she would be doing was completing a formality. The DNC letting all that anticipation build up without any notice her speech would be a nothingburger was incredibly stupid and the tweets in my previous post are an example of the drama they created. There's now a lot of people who think it was an act of defiance from her.

If the Dems can take the senate, then Trump winning this election won't bother me too much, however I'm not confident that Schumer has the fortitude to stonewall everything the way Cocaine Mitch did with Obama (I could see him being stupid and letting a judge nomination go to the floor thinking it didn't have the votes, only for Sinema and Manchin to break from the Dems). I'm concerned for the scenario where Trump wins and keeps the senate. If that happens then RBG gets replaced with another Scalia clone (not to mention how much the lower courts get stacked with more Heritage Foundation judges). Any meaningful reform on healthcare, income inequality, climate change, etc. would get ruled unconstitutional in a scenario where Neil Gorsuch is the swing vote.

You're also too quick to assume Biden losing means Dem primary voters wake up and accept they need to change their strategy in 2024. I could easily see Biden losing, the country devolving into an even bigger shitpile, and in 2024 the DNC says "Well, we need to try even harder to win the middle this time! We should run John Kasich as a Democrat!" and all the braindead primary voters would fall in line after CNN/MSNBC crammed Kasich down their throat as the candidate most "electable." Somehow after 2016 when Hillary lost due to lackluster turnout from the base, the DNC, MSM and most primary voters thought the solution to that would be nominating a Delaware Dixiecrat who graduated law school near the bottom of his class and has no signature achievements as a senator. There's no reason to think that same insanity wouldn't permeate into 2024 if Biden loses.

I'd argue that even if Biden wins, they should wake up to how flawed the election strategy of running a milquetoast establishment dixiecrat is and relying on "Hey, at least he's not the other guy!" as your best stump speech, but we both know that if Biden wins, the moderate neocon Dems are going to say "Haha Bernie supporters, this proves winning the center is what works! Hope you enjoy getting raped by Blue Cross Blue Shield, because M4A ain't happening now!"

The fact they can't crack an 8-10% lead against someone who's run the country into the ground as swiftly and deliberately as Trump is an indictment of the effectiveness of Biden's campaign. A good candidate would be up 12-15% on Trump right now, and a generational candidate would have 1932 landslide potential running against Trump. We're through 2 days of the convention, and I have yet to hear a coherent and specific plan of action as to how Biden will manage the pandemic beyond "facemask mandate!"

A candidate would have to be even more conservative than Biden to be up 15 points on Trump. I just don't buy that Biden's lead has anything to do with a lack of voter enthusiasm. Trump is going to be at 40ish% because of Republicans as long as his opponent is a Democrat.

This country is more devided than ever before. I've seen the argument that some other candidate would be up 10-15 points on Trump and I just laugh. It is utterly ridiculous to think anyone, Bernie or otherwise would be up 10+ points on average on Trump in this divided and fucked up country.

You're saying anyone else would have the support of 60-65 or even 70% support of the country. What world do you live in to think like that?

I don't understand your math. A 12-15% lead isn't mutually exclusive with the trailing candidate having 40% of the vote, and it definitely doesn't require having 65-70% of the vote. Major party candidates have always gotten at least 40% of the vote, even in landslide years, this isn't some new phenomenon (Hoover got 39.7% of the popular vote, and Mondale got 40.6%). I'd love to see how a 12-15% lead requires having 60-70% of the vote, must be some interesting arithmetic to get to that conclusion.

Trump being in the low 40% isn't the part that I find unbelievable, Biden being stuck between 48-51% is what's pathetic. If he were at 55%, he'd have the 12-15% lead I'm talking about, and that wouldn't require him winning over any Trumptards. All it would require is him winning the undecided voters + some of the voters who plan to vote 3rd party.

Regarding the EC - not sure if you meant to, but :lol if you're implying the notion that Biden isn't winning the popular vote by more because he's focused on winning the EC. He's wasting money and resources trying to :cry make Texas blue :cry instead of focusing on middle American swing states, and he's parading around GOP endorsements from people in NY, NJ and CA. His campaign seems more focused on running up the score in coastal states than winning middle America.

I'd argue that even if Biden wins, they should wake up to how flawed the election strategy of running a milquetoast establishment dixiecrat is and relying on "Hey, at least he's not the other guy!" as your best stump speech, but we both know that if Biden wins, the moderate neocon Dems are going to say "Haha Bernie supporters, this proves winning the center is what works! Hope you enjoy getting raped by Blue Cross Blue Shield, because M4A ain't happening now!"

The fact they can't crack an 8-10% lead against someone who's run the country into the ground as swiftly and deliberately as Trump is an indictment of the effectiveness of Biden's campaign. A good candidate would be up 12-15% on Trump right now, and a generational candidate would have 1932 landslide potential running against Trump. We're through 2 days of the convention, and I have yet to hear a coherent and specific plan of action as to how Biden will manage the pandemic beyond "facemask mandate!" (something I'm not even sure is constitutional at the federal level). All I've heard is that Trump has managed it poorly.

A candidate would have to be even more conservative than Biden to be up 15 points on Trump. I just don't buy that Biden's lead has anything to do with a lack of voter enthusiasm. Trump is going to be at 40ish% because of Republicans as long as his opponent is a Democrat.
Do people not understand how percentages work? Trump being at 40% doesn't preclude Biden from having a 15 point lead.

Trump's net approval is currently around -12% (that's where the fivethirtyeight aggregate currently is). If Biden could simply get the votes of everyone who disapproved of Trump, he'd have the 12-15% lead I'm talking about. Don't you think a capable candidate running against an incumbent should be able to capture the vote of people who disapprove of the incumbent? I really don't think I'm the crazy one for suggesting Trump's deficit against his opponent should match his approval deficit.

Furthermore, the polls show that Trump still has an edge over Biden as to who would best manage the economy, which means that roughly 5% of all voters are people who disapprove of Trump overall but still think Trump is better on the economy than Biden. You can't reasonably attribute this to anything other than shitty campaigning and messaging - the last Republican before Trump left office with double digit unemployment and a tumbling economy, and it's where Trump currently has the economy. Meanwhile, the last two Democrats left office with unemployment below 5% and a growing economy. People think Republicans are better at handling the economy because they're better at talking about the economy than Dems are.

I don't understand your math. A 12-15% lead isn't mutually exclusive with the trailing candidate having 40% of the vote, and it definitely doesn't require having 65-70% of the vote. Major party candidates have always gotten at least 40% of the vote, even in landslide years, this isn't some new phenomenon (Hoover got 39.7% of the popular vote, and Mondale got 40.6%). I'd love to see how a 12-15% lead requires having 60-70% of the vote, must be some interesting arithmetic to get to that conclusion.

Trump being in the low 40% isn't the part that I find unbelievable, Biden being stuck between 48-51% is what's pathetic. If he were at 55%, he'd have the 12-15% lead I'm talking about, and that wouldn't require him winning over any Trumptards. All it would require is him winning the undecided voters + some of the voters who plan to vote 3rd party.

Regarding the EC - not sure if you meant to, but :lol if you're implying the notion that Biden isn't winning the popular vote by more because he's focused on winning the EC.

You're kind of forgetting the part where this country is massively divided and the kind of support you're talking about only comes if you have willingly and bipartisan voters who dont just vote for their idols no matter what.

I just find it peculiar you're having a fit about Biden already having a majority of support. 50-51 is already good enough when the other guy is meddling in the low to mid 40s.

I'd be estatic over that. It could be worse.

Regarding the electoral college, I'm merely pointing out that that's how you win here. Irrespective of where either of these candidates are campaigning.

You also understand that there is almost always "undecided" voters and 3rd party? I'd have to look at a lot of prior polls but I'd be surprised if there's ever been a poll where the top two candidates poll at a sum of much greater than 90% of respondents.

I really don't think I'm the crazy one for suggesting Trump's deficit against his opponent should match his approval deficit.

Think about the difficulty of what you're suggesting. Even with Trump's ridiculously high approval among Republicans, there are still 10-20% of Republicans who don't approve. Do you really expect 100% of those Republicans to vote for the Democrat candidate? You have to factor in a likelihood that people who express disapproval will still vote for him. You also have to factor in people who are Republican but don't identify themselves as such. They may be embarrassed by Trump and embarrassed to call themselves Republican, but they're still going to vote for Trump because they hate Democrats.


Furthermore, the polls show that Trump still has an edge over Biden as to who would best manage the economy, which means that roughly 5% of all voters are people who disapprove of Trump overall but still think Trump is better on the economy than Biden.

That's a historical problem for Democrats. It's a problem of perception that can't be corrected overnight, and probably the only way it gets corrected that quickly is if we had nominated someone like Mike Bloomberg, which obviously hurts in a lot of other areas. You can nominate someone to the left of Biden who's good at talking about the economy, but as long as they have that :cry socialism :cry stigma, It's going to be hard to overcome. But Democrats definitely need to do more to correct that perception in the long run.

You can keep parroting "massively divided" all you want, it doesn't address the numbers. Trump's net approval rating is currently -12%. What is it about this country's massive divide that renders Biden incapable of simply capturing all of the voters who current disapprove of Trump's job performance? I have a hard time believing the 52-55% of voters who disapprove Trump are people who vote for Trump because he's their idol, seems more likely they're people looking for a reason to vote Trump out.

My point regarding Biden is that him winning doesn't mean he was a great or even good candidate, since I know if he wins we're going to hear about it in 2024 about how the recipe for success is milquetoast centrists. Since the end of June, Trump has gained in the polls on Biden, meaning there have been people who have gone from undecided to Trump or from Biden to Trump. That's not a symptom of people blindly supporting Trump, it's a symptom of Biden making a historically low amount of public appearances as a major party candidate and leaving a vacuum that's been filled by negative ads about Biden.

I wouldn't be ecstatic over Biden winning in the low 50s. This is the problem I have with your mentality, it's completely focused on just being able to win the White House, not on being able to actually get stuff done. Just having a Dem in the oval office isn't the finish line. If Biden wins and the GOP keeps the senate, you can write off the next 4 years, and Biden never gets to pick RBG's replacement. Even if Biden wins and the Dems only have a 51-49 majority, it's slightly better, but Sinema and Manchin have already said they're not going nuclear on the filibuster, so they don't have a real majority on most legislation. Biden being a middling chode who gets the bare minimum vs. being a guy who wins by 12-15% and creates a downballot effect is what puts the Georgia, Montana, Iowa, Kansas and South Carolina senate races in play.

I'd argue that a high volume of undecided voters are a symptom of the party that's supposed to be advocating for the working class (most voters) having no clear identity beyond saying REPUBLICANS BAD! If you're an undecided low information voter who just watched the convention for the last two days, you've been given nothing to go off in terms of what Biden stands for. All you've been told is that (1) Biden is a decent man and (2) ORANGE MAN BAD! There's no effort by Dems to win undecided voters. They might get away with it this time since Trump can't use the "Try me out, what have you got to lose?" line again.

Lets also not ignore that people who don't vote are the biggest block of adults out there. There's nothing about Joe Biden that's going to inspire a disaffected millennial who's never voted before, lives at home and hates life, to register to vote.


Think about the difficulty of what you're suggesting. Even with Trump's ridiculously high approval among Republicans, there are still 10-20% of Republicans who don't approve. Do you really expect 100% of those Republicans to vote for the Democrat candidate? You have to factor in a likelihood that people who express disapproval will still vote for him.

Right, and there's some Democrats who tell pollsters they approve of Trump, and there's plenty of independents who don't feel strongly either way. Point being, a 12% lead on DJT really isn't that unrealistic.


That's a historical problem for Democrats. It's a problem of perception that can't be corrected overnight, and probably the only way it gets corrected that quickly is if we had nominated someone like Mike Bloomberg, which obviously hurts in a lot of other areas. You can nominate someone to the left of Biden who's good at talking about the economy, but as long as they have that :cry socialism :cry stigma, It's going to be hard to overcome. But Democrats definitely need to do more to correct that perception in the long run.
My issue is that I think they know how to address it but don't want to because they don't the train to run too far off the track in terms of Dem voters wanting shit like a 70% tax rate or M4A. The DNC appears to make a concerted effort to keep its base as far to the right as possible on economic issues.

One other easy way to lessen it would be to stop talking about gay marriage, giving illegals free shit, and trannies. When Elizabeth Warren goes on a rant about how we need to pay for transgender prison inmates to have sex changes (that actually happened if you don't remember), she doesn't come off as someone who's particularly keen at making sure Joe Sixpack can feed his family. The two have nothing to do with each other, but a lot of people (including me) think it's really weird how much disproportionate time Democrats spend talking about gay marriage and trannies getting government-financed sex changes while they spend as little time as possible talking about the economy.

10 years ago I thought Republicans were weird for constantly fear mongering about how legalizing gay marriage will lead to people fucking their dog, now I think Democrats are equally weird for constantly bringing up something that Republicans don't even talk about anymore.
