As I have stated many times, it's always a choice between the the lesser of two evils for us here in our supposed democracies.

The parties choose their own candidates.

Political lobbying as well as political donations.

 

Trey and Matt hit the Nail bang on the head when they came out with this 

 

 

 

Doesn't the turd sandwich really remind you of someone.

 

Like seriously 

 

Trump is basically a real life version of Eric Cartman.

Mark Cuban:

 

 

 

Cuban basically says "I'd vote for Sleepy Joe even if he wasn't alive over Dotard" 


So basically even Mark Cuban admits that Biden is almost dead. At least he is being honest about it. 
 

I guess if Biden dies then Kamala Harris will be the President. Not sure if that’s a good thing or not. I don’t think her poll numbers are very high. Maybe Michelle Obama can run for the Vice Presidency instead. That way if Biden dies she will take over anyways.

The truth behind Trump and his smiling black supporters – they’re fake

AI-generated deepfake images of the former president are ‘being deployed to influence the outcome of 2024 election’, campaigners believe.

As a photographer is it unusual that the eyes seemed to be focused to multiple locations? I assume that generally most subjects would be looking in the same direction. 

 

I had read that for some reason AI had the most problems with hands so that’s the first thing I check. I’m trying to learn the tells.

I'm not a photographer, but I have dabbled a bit in Photoshop....both of Trump's hands are giveaways for me.....plus, the woman in the blue dress seems to have an alien hand on her arm....either that, or the weirdest amputation I've ever seen...

Here's Faux News attempting to downplay the FACT that crime is down in the US:

In regards to John Roberts' claim that it's because of "soft prosecutors", the NYT times said this:

Quote

But the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting Program (UCR) isn’t a report on charges or prosecutions, it’s a report of reported crimes.

 

It's worth noting that Republicans have been pushing this "soaring crime" narrative for a couple of years now, because they want people to be afraid of immigrants and people of color.....facts don't matter....it's all about feelings. And here we have Faux News, once again, carrying the water for Republicans in general and Donald Trump in particular, because this type of disinformation peddling is good for their bottom line....

 

But CNN is "just as bad" as Faux, amirite? :classic_rolleyes:

I know you were giving numbers from the sources, tbh I haven’t watched CNN or MSNBC in years.

Don’t get me wrong, I am hoping for Russia to lose this war but having gone through the war personally.

I see that lot of these numbers about Russian loses are grossly overinflated, Russian media and their allies are doing the exact same thing. I do agree that the coverage about Super Tuesday has been low key. At least here in Illinois.

 

 

I wouldn't be surprised if there was a lot of propaganda in those numbers.  Both of those networks, like most of the media these days, aren't exactly rigorous in their reporting.  I have little doubt that they'll lazily puke back out any number that they are spoon fed unless they need the current narrative to change for some reason.

When it was Bernie vs Clinton, the Bernie Bros voted against Clinton.  Will her supporters do the same against trump or will we see the lockstep bootlicking we're accustomed to

She already crapped on him in her speech so I'm thinking, probably not....  😂

 

I'd imagine it'll be mostly the opposite with her voters.  They'll vote along the party line, just like the Democrat voters will.

She probably won’t endorse him, but her supporters are probably voting for DT.

I hope I am wrong and they either don’t vote or vote against Trump.

Did you see the caucus vote in Samoa? Biden lost by 9 votes and total number of people that voted was 91.

I have seen bigger voter base and turnout in PTA meeting. 😂

You're right that most of her base will be voting for Trump, but I think there's a significant block of them who supported her because they've become disenfranchised by Trump and the MAGA movement. I could definitely see a lot of them not showing up to vote or switching to blue out of distaste for Trump. It's hard to say how significant this will be, but moderates overall are probably going to prefer Biden imo.
