It's her home state. Losing by 20% is fucking pathetic.
And does no one remember 2016? Trump seldom even won a majority, he had pluralities in the 30% or low 40% range and won b/c of how split the ticket was. How "vulnerable" did that leave him in the general election?
Republicans always close ranks when it counts. Thinking those 40% (in one state) will sit out in November is pure fantasy. Trump will be president unless everyone who doesn't want that gets out and votes!

Trump lost his home state to biden. That doesn't mean shit. The point is, the republican base is fractured about trump. Not everyone likes him anymore. He needs every possible vote to have a chance and if her voters aren't lying sacks of shit, something like 60% of her voters said they wouldn't vote trump in the general. Sure they could be lying pieces of shit, as usual, but that's a pretty hefty sum if they stay at home. Maybe not enough to flip deep red states but definitely enough to keep states like Pennsylvania blue.

Last I saw around 600k voted in the primary.

Idk, I never wanted kids because I was always working 40 to 90 hour work weeks to just barely not be lower class.

So just to confirm, you think that if someone votes Uncommitted in this primary, that affects the November vote count. Youre wrong. This is really easy to look up.

In any case, it seems most likely Whitmer doesnt agree with the cause of the protest vote, which is why shes saying she is not sure what to expect. Like, she knows this primary does not affect the November election even if you dont.

I think poisoning the well is a dumb idea. Protest votes accomplish nothing and you risk radicalizing people to flat out not vote in the general election. As I said 100 posts ago, why would someone refuse to vote for Biden in April but vote for him in November. When all you do is stoke anger and push republican talking points, you risk losing voters in general, not just for a primary.

But if your goal is to push republican propaganda, nobody is stopping you.

The first game played it straight-laced, and was largely boring. Since then they've gone for the 'zany' vibe.

As for this show, it seems to be blending bits from Borderlands 1, 2, and even a bit of 3(that one bandit looked a bit like Mouthpiece). I wonder if they'll have a short cameo with the Zaffords or Hodunks.

Wat? The first was ridiculous too. The issue with the first game was that it was non-stop fetch quests and didn't really have an ending or conclusion. It was still a blast, but after hearing about a vault full of loot for the entire game, what we got was a huge letdown.

Thankfully they fixed some of the issues of finality in the dlcs which were all quite good.

Whitmer also doesnt know what a primary is? Concerning. Its one thing for CEmen not to know.

Yes, she's the one who doesn't understand things...

Who won in South Carolina last night? Sorry, couldnt be bothered to tune in after getting off work yesterday, as I simply wanted to zone out and play video games for a few hours.

40% of voters chose Haley.

I call them broads or walking tits.

This is far worse than a few morons being hypocrites.

A majority would ban abortion nationwide, 70% say they'd deport everyone, 66% say biden didn't win the election, 50% say the economy is terrible, 50% say we should back out of all conflicts (the same people who threw a fit over leaving Afghanistan...) and so on.

This is far more embarrassing.

40% of Republicans in South Carolina voting against Trump is a pretty big deal. Sure Haley lost by double digits, but there's a reason her voters chose her over Trump, and this could spell disaster going forward, unless he's able to court them.

Granted the actual number is low, the fact that those who participate in primaries tend to be more politically attuned should tell you enough. If Trump doesn't manage to court even half of those votes, he's going to lose in a landslide.

Is it 144k a day? Because that's an insane amount.

How bad must Trump be to lose to this guy.

The problem with AI is instead of using it as a tool to help developers, it's going to be used as a tool to replace developers, because AI in a capitalistic society will eliminate jobs.

I'm whatever on piracy, I don't do it anymore, but I understand those that do, and when you look at games, music, and TV being removed from services they were once available for, I understand piracy.

Companies basically telling you that you can't watch this, play this, or listen to this anymore puts me on the side of piracy. Especially if you've purchased it before. Like Steam removing games, iTunes removing songs, or companies not making things available to purchase.

If Fox doesn't want to put Undeclared on any streaming service, doesn't want to sell the DVD set, then who does it hurt to download it illegally? To them it's a dead product, to you it's 18 episodes of entertainment.

It depends on how much of the military join Trump's side. It won't be zero but I doubt it will be enough to turn the Gravy Seals into a military force.

I'd be all aboard people leaving our active military to fight for a fascist. Same with our police departments, fire departments, and other industries. Out yourselves and exit our society. We'd be a better country for it.

Pizza is extremely cheap to make.

They did this the last few elections for Senate.

The fuck? It's ridiculous posts like this that kill the narrative. Bernie never got nominated for president so fucking obviously he couldn't do the same things Biden did. In Biden's position though he'd have absolutely done more.

Sweet Tim Scott impersonation.

Republicans were adamantly against this a few years ago.

You're actively arguing against the democratic process yourself. Don't act all high and mighty when you're telling people who have relatives dying in Gaza that they shouldn't be allowed to voice their displeasure. You're no better than a Republican.

Noted Republican trying to lecture others on being against the democratic process.

No, you can sit the fuck down.

Muslims take note. I bet they think he's only talking about those south of us.

But sure, tell me how bad Biden is.

Zero_Destroyer posted...

Yeah and the idea is you force Biden to capitulate through in-party pressure. I've never seen anybody arguing Trump would "Be better." The point is that they feel unsafe regardless until Biden commits to supporting them. He is currently not beyond white house "leaks" that consist of him privately wagging a finger.

There's no capitulation, all you're doing is making people take a stand. Why would they support Biden in November if they don't support him in April.

Creating a wedge issue for no reason when the alternative is simply not having a democracy anymore is fucking asinine. If you put the lives of Gazans on a far higher pedestal than the United States turning into a fascist dictatorship, then idk what to tell you. I sympathize with them, but I'm not allowing Trump another shot at becoming King.

Bowing down to Republicans stoking a fire is not how you win in 2024, unless your goal is a Trump monarchy.

Uh, so you are excited for marginalized groups to get mass deported if one on CE doesnt vote?

Elections have consequences. These morons acting like Trump would be better than Biden on Israel or Gaza will find out real quick if they help Trump get elected. Trump's talked about deporting minorities day one. Let's see if they make the cut or not.

I think people will be more hesitant to do a Jan 6th style thing again because of all the people who got arrested the first time. They thought they'd get away with it but that idea was quickly shot down.

Not to mention that the guy enabling the insurrection is not currently in power.

But when it comes to a Civil War 2.0, it has nothing to do with stopping the certification of Biden becoming President, it's calling for outright terrorism.

Smearing shit on the walls. Guess their racism was just projection.

I mean she lost to nobody a few weeks back.

The thing is, Arab and Muslim Americans are used to shit being bad for us regardless of who the President is. I mean we lived through post-9/11 hysteria. We can take it. It's all the white liberals who are freaking out and chastising us for using the one bit of leverage we have to try and sway Biden. Obviously Trump winning would be bad, but Biden isn't going to do anything different unless he's forced to.

It's all fun and games until Trump enacts another Muslim ban, but this time it entails rounding up Muslims and putting them on a one way trip anywhere but here.

No, it sends the message that Democrats need to run a real progressive.

Biden is absolutely a progressive President and has accomplished more in 4 years than Bernie could have ever dreamed of.

Ok.

Just continue it and have it be about the power struggle of being a woman in that line of work.

I don't see why that wouldn't be a compelling show, about a woman working her way up through the ranks.

Remember when MS13 was a thing?

I enjoyed the first one, but it was a very easy game and somewhat encouraged save scumming since random shit could happen that'd wipe out your best squad mate.

Literally go from 12 to 6 on that shit.

That's awesome. Hope you got a ridiculous deal over what you paid initially.

Only a handful and that was after a long appeal, like where the topic I was modded in was 1 day from being purged.

Yes. I usually provide sources for what's being moderated. For the most part there was a rogue mod(s) that'd get pissed when I'd call Republicans on their bullshit.

I see it now. Use the $1,000 to go buy the lottery tickets, huh? I was operating under the assumption that that wasn't an option.

I just take these as an either or situation. This idea that you can game the system basically ruins any of these questions when you 'well actually' it.

Yes, extremely poorly. It wasn't one of those good ones though, you held the arrow with your finger and it had a notch on the back for the string, but nothing else. I 'shot' it like a few dozen times and I just couldn't understand the mechanics of it. I was like 10 or 12 at the time so that's probably why, I was just a moron.
