Dude you should get back on your meds. Or get outside more. You're arguing way too many topics. It's unhealthy.

If you’re a Biden fan, how do you defend this?

https://nypost.com/2024/01/18/news/biden...lly-in-dc/

I reiterate what I said…if you’re a Democrat, how do you let this guy run? Are you content losing in 2024 to Trump?

Who knows why. Only one Democrat on this board attempts to engage in debate. They are completely unwilling to criticize their own party. Myself and other right-of-centers on this board do engage in self-criticism of our party. You will NEVER see a Democrat come in here and do the same. 

Democrat policies which elevate crime and decrease public safety? 
A wide-open border policy which is so out of control that migrants are begging door-to-door and living on the streets? 
Drugs pouring over the border causing 75K deaths a year?
Enabling drug cartels and human smugglers who have set up shop across the U.S.?
Outwardly sexualizing children in not-so-subtle grooming attempts? 
Rampant, overt and sometimes violent antisemitism?
Broadcasting U.S. weakness to the world? 

DuvalPride Democrat response: *crickets*

But boy, they sure do like to come in here on occasion for a driveby on Republicans while their own house is on fire.

They'll figure out how to defend it because he's running against Trump.. This election isn't about saving our country, to them, it's about stopping Trump and to hell with the country and damn the consequences.

She didn't even win with the majority being independents and democrats voting in the republican primary.

1. This is mostly an echo chamber for conservatives of one ilk or another because lefties get so tuned of by the group think or overwhelming majority of contributors

2. I'm horribly concerned by the Dems poor efforts to further their message in the majority of the most vulnerable red strongholds around the country - they are squandering opportunity to gain votes in many, many "markets"
- I also disagree with the complacency to roll with Biden/Harris over an upgrade even if I think I get why they feel it's the best path for now - (selling a new candidate over one that already defeated the enemy harbors a number of pitfalls that could derail the mission to keep orange guy out of DC)

I've also been very outspoken about the over the top left component that are our version of the MTG/Gaetz types. 
The right has their loonies - we have ours. Either ideal can take it too far, clearly.
Sometimes "the squad" latch on to a legit issue - but come up with totally ridiculous "solutions"

Regarding your specific issues:

Democrat policies which elevate crime and decrease public safety? 
While the issue has been widely hyperbolized  - the state and local level politicians in select areas definitely overreacted to various human rights cases/movements and lesser issues that deserve consternation - most of them reversed course in fairly short order when the error was apparent by result


A wide-open border policy which is so out of control that migrants are begging door-to-door and living on the streets?
 Realistically - border policy didn't really change all that much when we shifted presidencies - but the media-right works really hard to make it appear otherwise. In reality - this should be a bi-partisan issue as it is a global concern nearing a tipping point. Many left leaning nations have radically altered border and immigration policy and we will need to keep pace. 
Drugs pouring over the border causing 75K deaths a year?
Another bipartisan issue that we've seen evolve and morph over the decades with differing drugs and consequence. Republicans (and Dems) spent billions in the 80's/90/s/early oughts on the war on drugs - only to cripple our prison system and it's budget while doing virtually nothing to meaningfully buffer the crack and heroin epidemics in the US. 

Enabling drug cartels and human smugglers who have set up shop across the U.S.?
Nothing new. Just expanded. Doubtful a red/blue shift in DC alters that much. Both sides have sent giant budgets to border law enforcement historically.

Outwardly sexualizing children in not-so-subtle grooming attempts? 
Too broad to tackle here. Both aisles could be demonized in differing ways. I'll say I'm all about protecting our children and leave it there. Adult sexuality within the scope of law should be free - but influence on minors should be guarded carefully.

Rampant, overt and sometimes violent antisemitism? 
Evil. But also bipartisan. Many nuts out there that think they hate Jews for different reasons and coming from different platforms politically.

Broadcasting U.S. weakness to the world? 
Trumps third favorite pastime is praising standing and historical dictators and displaying an utter ignorance of global politic.
So - let's also not make this one a one sided issue. 
But sure - we should be united in broadcasting a unified message of strength and a clear line in the sand.

Furthermore - I'll ask you to forgive the driveway nature of my posting in this forum - because I do carefully manage my personal gauges of stress, impatience, temper, and general content - and I've learned that too much engagement with opinions I cannot reconcile has an effect on my "fuse-length" in my personal and professional life.
I value the relationships I must maintain away from here far too much to let this forum irk me (on occasion) enough to spill over. 

So - yeah - crickets from me - unless I'm in a good frame of mind to offer discourse without a change in blood pressure. LOL
Y'all can joke on that. Call me triggered - whatever. All good. 
I just like to keep the important stuff important - and let political talk take a backseat. I've got TONS of right wing friends and family, and I've carefully steered away from this topic with them many times. This forum is not like that. It is direct confrontation. And it's important to keep it in perspective.

“Nikki Haley Announces She Has Won New Hampshire By Negative 12 Points”

https://babylonbee.com/news/nikki-haley-...-12-points

Media outlets called the race early as Nikki Haley began to pull away by a negative 9 points. Sources expect the lead to grow to around negative 12.

Trump takes NH. Haley officially sucks.

I didn’t like his speech, though. Focus on Biden, stop attacking her and her dress. I think even Trey Gowdy mentioned something like that last night. Like just because she got closer than he thought she’d get is no reason to make personal attacks on her. I just didn’t like that. It wasn’t really a gracious victory speech.

Whether you like Haley or not, she’s working her butt off trying to peel off votes. I give her credit for going from like 2% to 35-40% in the polls. She’s not gonna win but she’s the last one standing and no one thought she would be.

She isn't peeling off any votes, she is only getting the neocon, rino votes that will vote for anyone but Trump. All other votes are democrats that are just doing it because there isn't a primary for them.

Republican voters who said the economy was good or great was ~21%. She gets those votes. Those are the high earners that don't care about anything that doesn't affect them directly. Until all the problems affect their little world, they will be happy supporting the uniparty candidates.

What's your [BLEEP] problem, dude? Do you really think that's what we're all doing? You're a jackass for even thinking that.. You're so far gone as a republican that you should just dye your hair green and cut off whatever manhood you have left..  

Trump is running on the policies that can secure our country and bring our economy back but you simply sound too stupid to understand that..

If O'Biden ran on the same policies as Trump (which they never would for the sake of power), then I would even vote for them..

Grow up, pull your head out of your [BLEEP] and have a look around.. It sucks out there and you're crying about bending the knee..

There isn't a large segment of conservatives, there's the uniparty people and then a small group of people that for whatever reason are still brainwashed, putting feelings over policy, or don't agree with all policies so they stay divided. The uniparty wants you divided, if you unite around leaders who aren't bought off, you can end all their power.

Then you can start looking for conservatives that meet all your requirements. You will never find an electable person until the swamp is destroyed. Everyone is bought off and controlled, look what they tried with Lake.

Well, Trump needs those votes to win the election. He’s not gonna win with sole MAGA votes. That might win you Kansas and Idaho but it won’t win you Pennsylvania or Wisconsin. 

I looked up some of polls and Haley was at 3% a few months ago. I think people on the fence are going for her. The Trump people who have been behind him for 10 years will never vote for her. But I’m worried he’s not gonna win independents….that speech last night didn’t help him any with the non-MAGAs.

The sad thing is, no matter who gets into office the largest percentage of Americans lose regardless of who they vote for.

Middle class America.

I dare say we are all on that spectrum here and no matter our quibbles we're all getting screwed. We're being misdirected by all kinds of information so we won't pay attention and see what Tom Brokaw used to call The Fleecing of America.

Our focus is on the wrong issues. 

America's interests as a whole have been replaced by feelings on both sides, divide and conquer is the weapon being used against us and it's working. Middle America is being strangled to death and we're all voting for our demise.

Regarding both of these posts, you can blame my reasoning ability or reading comprehension if you want, but I don't see either of you finding fault with Trump, or giving good or consistent reasons for liking him. It does seem like you just like him, emotionally, no matter what he does. Which is fine. But that's why. I think it's sad and ironic that you say people like me are emotional and unreasonable. If there is a good reason to praise Trump I praise him. So do you. If there is a good reason to condemn Trump I condemn him. You continue with praise. Between the two of us, I am the more persuadable and less emotionally attached one.
