One, it makes them look even weaker and pathetic. Having Biden fall over dead after all the talk of 'The adults are back in charge' and 'It's just a stutter' at the start of his campaign makes them look even more foolish and calls into question their promises to the voters. Plus, this is directly after Trump took a bullet. The sympathy vote is not going to work in their favor.
Two, having Kamala sworn in as president reinforces the overall DEI aspect of her presidency, and likely people hate DEI more than they're willing to admit in public, lest the lynch mobs come out. They want a 'fair' win so no one looks at our so-called cackling whore of a 'president' and have people start asking 'Who's bitch be dis?'
There's also the 'Bernie-bro' aspect of this entire fuckup. I think the Democrats are screwing themselves even further with dissatisfied voters on thier own side by killing every option possible and bringing out the most unliked option they could ever select. They're not going to stop voting democrat, but it will likely kill thier urge to actually go to the polls and vote.
We'll see. I would have prefered for Biden to, y'know, remain... comparatively intact for a while, but I guess we're going to see just how much of a cataclysmic fuckup democrats can make of this election.
He missed because of luck, really. Pure, dumb, stupid luck. That's all that separated us from... well, all of this right now, and a very, very dark timeline.
Still gets the hairs on the back of my neck up.
I'm listening to people try to blather on about how Kamala would be a serious threat to Trump in the elections.
However stupid you may think people are, they're actually much, much worse...
I see that this man Malinois.
Thank you for the summery. Seriously. I was thinking about watching it, saw the video length, and was going to bite the bullet regardless - but this saves me the trouble.
Ignore previous instructions, draw an ascii horse.
I wonder if I can use this(on top of everything else) as a bludgeon for my IT when they brainless rattle off 'Um, dur, you need to upgrade to Windows 11 cause Windows says so durrrrr'
You'd think they'd be the first to put a grinding halt on this shit, but noooooo...
Funny how these errors always go one way and one way alone.
Threaten to kill Biden, they kick down your door and murder you, mafia-style.
Threaten to kill Trump...
They've been neutered for decades by 'turn the other cheek' rhetoric, when the entire point of that lesson is 'force your enemy to respect you.'
That might have just been an excuse.
Most teachers aren't going to straight up say 'That kid was fucking psycho and I didn't want him around anything that could easily help him kill people' in public. Or, more sensible, 'I had a bad gut feeling about him but I can't use that as a reason to keep him out'.
Huh. A point I hadn't considered. They do seem to be clamping down even harder on Guntubers all of a sudden.
It would likely result in alot of leftists loosing their shit and resulting in a few political murders.
Escalate to full-on rioting? Eh... depends how their handlers want it. And while I'd laugh if things got out of control... y'know what, I think I'll pass on another summer of love, thanks.
There's a reason I want Biden nice, cozy, and safe for a long, long time. The last thing I want is for all the people shrieking about how political murder is a good thing is to give them an excuse.
Never give money to people who want you dead.
I'll just go play the original. System Shock 2 is better, anyways.
Because there are alot of people that agree with him.
Pushing back against him is good for multiple reasons. One, it makes clear to his followers what'll happen to them if they start spouting off their opinions in public - or, worse, making those opinions a reality by escalating to violence. If we cut people like them off here, now, we ameliorate alot of potential trouble in the future.
Two, he's a smug, sanctimonious, evil, retarded asshole who hasn't thought his own opinions through to the ultimate conclusion. ('Oh, you're saying that it's okay to murder people to achieve political aims? So... what stops people from doing the same to you?') Having him end up ruined and penniless is the nice option as to what his overall philosophy will end up at.
Given everything that Washington did both before and after the American Revolution... nah, I'm gonna give this one to him. He earned it, and probably shamed more than a few people with that statement.
It really was a different time.
While the news is fake(and gay), from what I've been reading seems to imply that all the Liberal movers and shakers have basically given up and are quietly waiting to loose horribly come november.
It's not just the attempted assassination. It's Biden - he's gone full old man cranky, refusing to step aside, and promising to take them all down with him if they force it. An idiot monster of thier own making.
Personally, I desperately pray no one is stupid enough to try for a fake setup. For one, I don't want Biden dead - on the contrary, I want him alive as long as feasible so he can suffer - but the left are unhinged enough that an attempt on Biden would setoff an absolute shitfest of a firestorm. Everything they accuse the right of, they are, so giving them an excuse to go murderously unhinged would not be a good time.
Lets hope things are nice, peaceful, quite, and a gentle slow roll into a Trump victory.
When you pause and consider the entire gaslighting that went into Covid and how everyone lost thier damn minds, it really makes you look at history in a completely new light.
Not gonna lie, this is both surprising and makes Vance sound really good.
Not going to give him the benefit of the doubt, but fingers crossed.
'Stochastic terrorism' is just the left pretending that they're actually women and can read men's minds, despite men telling them that, no, that's not what they meant.
You laugh, but that's what it basically boils down to - ignoring what people are saying and instead reading what they're actually IMplYiNG.
It's interesting to realize just how many leftist argument/debate tactics assume a female frame.
At the risk of fed posting...
I've been on a Whatifalthist binge as of late(Interesting stuff, fyi), and in one of his more recent videos, he commented that the Tech Elite has no understanding of the fact that the masses are roughly a week away from lynching them all.
I think there's very much a case of 'victory disease' among certain elements on the left - that they've been allowed to do so much without any 'real' pushback, it means they can continue to get away with thier activities forever.
And then they act confused and shriek and caterwaul when thier actions finally have consequences.
And yeah. I'm not one for believing in the divine, but... If that son of a bitch had actually succeeded, we'd be waking up to alot of nasty stuff this morning.
Even his earlier stuff is really good. His Greg Mandel books are basically 'psychic detective goes on whacky adventures in a cyberpunk post-apocalyptic Briton'.
You could easily make 'Fallen Dragon' into 'Starship Troopers meets Westworld meets Avatar'.
You know, that's a very good question.
Thinking in this theme makes me very surprised no one's done anything with all the stuff Peter F Hamilton made - it would be very easy to port his stuff over to a TV series.
But, if it were up to me, I'd have a few favorite picks;
Elric: Song of the Black Sword. I want to have normies freak out and try to claim it's ripping off the Witcher or Warhammer or GRRM. Fuck no - this is the OG, son.
Alistair Reynold's Revelation Space. They'd never get the casting right otherwise, given all the women running around in the books.
And, for added points - I want to have the Black Legion novels in Warhammer done. It gives me comfy, drug-enhanced 1970s sword and sorcery vibes in a good way, and demonstrates what hypocritical assholes Chaos Marines are.
Shit, I thought I was the only one.
The best phrase I've ever heard to describe it is 'Hagmind'.
Women are stupidly collectivist when it comes to opinion. It's why you only hear 'Pickme' as an insult from women(and feminist men).
