    ***Official Political Discussion Thread***

    It's not just "conservative" media. Most outlets are owned by billionaires and beholden to their interests first. Their journalists care more about ratings than they care about painting an accurate view of where we are as a society, and Trump is good for the bosses' pockets. He creates...

    We just live among idiots. It is what it is. Anyone who comes at me with that "way to encourage voters to vote for your side BS" is also in that basket of idiots. They're the ones living in denial that a second Trump term "won't be that bad." 💯 on the point about the softening of Biden's...

    All of this. They are losing their marbles at the thought of a Black woman becoming POTUS. All these stories about Biden's age would lose relevance if he decided to replace Kamala as a running mate.

    It's only insane if you haven't been following the direction of the party. The business elite courted the crazies for their vote, and the crazies took control. If the GOP is able to keep power, you'll see a lot of purging on the Republican side too. Something folks don't realize is that...

    Actually, it's because voters wanted to teach Hillary and the Democrats a lesson.

    ***Official Political Discussion Thread***

    We can't ignore that too many of these media organizations care more about access to politicians than the truth. When a debate participant gives an answer that has nothing to do with the question, the least moderators used to do was to ask how the answer was related to the question. That...

    LeBron James played a quarter century of basketball at the highest level. 24 years of very good to excellent individual contribution to the sport. The man is almost 40 years old, and there isn't an NBA team that would say "no" to him if he wanted to join them. He's up there with the all-time...

    https://democrats.org/2024-delegate-selection-process/ The Call for the convention lays out the rules by which the DNC elects candidates. The 2024 version is currently published on their website. People just don't want to read want to be spoon-fed. The view that the DNC has been rigging the...

    What's happening with Bronny feels exactly how it works in African countries. Pops/mom is a high ranking government official, and before you know it, the entire family leads various groups under pops/mom's watch. The league has had a lot of kids whose parents were pro ballers. There's no doubt...

    Wow @ the question That's a no. It doesn't depend. If you want to see plenty of Black nepotism, look no further than African countries. Advocating for it shows how unaware you are about its role in encouraging corruption and promoting incompetence. We can't avoid nepotism, because people get...

    There are a lot more closet homophobes than you think. A lot of - most? - immigrants to the US come from regions where religion is growing. They'd vote a dem house and senate and leave the POTUS check box empty or vote for anyone but Pete.

    I think Whitmer would have just as much trouble as Pete when it comes to convincing the electorate where it matters ("swing" states) The average voter is all about optics, and I can already see attack ads talking about how un-American it would be to have a woman as leader of the free world.
