    ..ah come on lads, this is clearly obvious now, continual undermining of critical needs, job security, health care and housing needs etc, continually pandering to wealthier needs, at the downfall of the average joe, this has been from both sides of the house, and for decades, no wonder people have flocked towards trump……



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,755 ✭✭✭uptherebels


    and you for some reason think, the dems are more to blame for this than republicans or trump?

    Im sure you can give a wealth of examples of how the dems have screwed the average joe under each of your topics there and how trump is the apparent answer.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,710 ✭✭✭jackboy


    It's hard to say who would be better for the world. How could Trump make it worse other than ordering the US military to strike China. I think that is pretty unlikely.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,956 ✭✭✭✭Igotadose


    I think 'particularly the dems' is wrong. The GQP have been the enemy of the middle classes since forever. Trouble is, the Democrats have missed the message where they needed to do even more for their 'typical constituents.' Like, Obamacare had potential, but was gutted by the insurers. Imagine if it had turned into 'medicare for all,' it would've been a seismic shift in favor of the average US worker who could, now, tell their boss to take their job and shove it and not lose healthcare. NAFTA (a GOP invention but fully embraced by all sides) was another disaster that the Democrats helped with.

    And CFTrump having support says a lot about the education system in the US, which is run by unions who are big Democrat boosters, but not like the GQP has done it any favors, including freaks like Betsy DeVos running things. Project 2025 wants to abolish the education department entirely - more dumb voters who CFTrump favors.

    the evidence has been glaring for years now, yet the dems havent accepted their own part in these issues, yes both sides of the house are to blame, but the dems have yet to accept their part, again, no wonder why trump appeared, and is also well supported, remember obama post 08 crash, his promises, hope and change, and then what actually happened after his election….

    trump clearly isnt the answer, but neither is biden…



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,755 ✭✭✭uptherebels


    the only way you can think of for trump to make things worse, is by striking China?

    Nothing at all on in the US education, economy, debt, environment, federal agancies - EPA, FTC

    For the rest of the world - trade, ukraine, being a counter balance to agressive regimes.

    People held their nose and voted for Biden four years ago. To be a little more kind, safe centrist Joe Biden seemed like an attractive alternative to the craziness of Trump, which it was.

    But the thing of it is that the Democrats cannot make that their political strategy. That's just depressing - a choice between Trump and some other guy who you can say, 'hey, at least he's not Trump'. If that's what they're banking on, then they deserve to lose the upcoming election. They had four years to get someone from the next generation ready, but bet on Biden, and now appear to be reaping the fruits of that.

    The Democrats sort of need a Trump of their own in a way. What I mean by that is someone who can come in from outside the party and electrify the base, not needing to go through the party apparatus and shake all the right hands. Someone who forces the party to change. Someone who speaks directly to the people. All those things but just not a raging arsehole like Donnie.

    For sure, if they stick with the candidates they have been propping up the last eight years, they're really just helping pave a road to hell.

    IMO Biden is more than just "not Trump". His track record is good, his only problem is not selling himself well enough. And Republicans spending 4 years screaming lies and bulls1t about him.
    And now idiots are saying "I don't know, like, dude, Biden's old and stuff, erm, I think I'll vote for the guy who promises to destroy democracy in the US".

    That is the dumbest, sh1ttiest, most idiotic reason to vote for fascism. If it happens it's because US voters are idiots and they deserve it. It's just a pity that decent people will have to suffer as well through no fault of their own.
    You don't eat a plate of sh1t because you don't like what your partner is cooking, so why vote Trump because Biden is old? And what about Trump? Is he fcuking 20?
    In the 1930s people had an excuse for voting for Hitler, they didn't know that he was going to burn down the planet and commit genocide.
    The same with Trump 2016.
    But voting for Trump now is like voting for Hitler in 1945. People know exactly what he is about.

    The Dems' message really needs to be that you're not just voting for Biden or Trump, but for their administrations, and who they'll put in different positions.

    Biden may be old as f*ck, but he'll continue to put experienced, knowledgeable and competent people in different roles.

    Trump already claimed he'd hire "the best people" in his first term, and most of those are either under investigation or facing criminal charges, or have already ruled themselves out of serving his administration again.

    Dems need to push that a vote for Biden is a vote for Democrats, rather than the chaos that Trump would poison the White House and Cabinet with.

    Forget Trump for a minute and pretend he wasn't the opposition.

    Biden's son's laptop

    Biden and his Quid Pro Quo with Ukraine

    Biden and his daughters diary

    Biden's cognitive decline

    The cognitive decline which most supporters denied up until the debate as a conspiracy

    Biden being unable to walk off a stage unaided

    Constantly getting important facts muddled and sometimes using the wrong country names

    This is absolutely not more than "not Trump". Just admit it. You are supporting a decrepit old man because you prefer him to a man you find abhorrent



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,023 ✭✭✭randd1


    This is absolutely not more than "not Trump". Just admit it. You are supporting a decrepit old man because you prefer him to a man you find abhorrent.

    Well, yeah. Why wouldn't you?

    I'm not American, but had I a choice in this matter, I'd rather see Biden's maggot infested decomposing corpse be elected and govern through seances than Trump. And I'd have little doubt he'd do a better job than Trump in that scenario too.

    Trump, and his supporters, are degenerate scum intent on turning the US into a ponzi scheme based one party religious autocracy. Why would you not vote even a decrepit old man in instead of that?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 85,686 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    sorry but can you explain some of these and what you think they are?

    If Comer had anything on Biden we would know by now. What are you alleging with all of these one liners, what Quid Pro Quo in Ukraine? What on the laptop? A stolen diary with uncertain contents that was out of her possession and could be altered by anyone?

    The diary thing is the most interesting Biden haters will believe that but ignore court transcripts where Trump had underage girls perform lesbian acts for his viewing pleasure as part of the Epstein drama.

    Surely everyone will have to vote for RFK, genuinely dont know how any sane person could vote for Trump or especially Biden at this stage, Biden literally cant even talk and is in serious decline.

    You tube biden trying to talk without a teleprompter….

    Like in all honest anyone trying to vote for biden needs there head examined, its not even debatable anymore its a fact he is in serious serious decline and isn't capable of doing the job.

    About two months ago, Biden's cognitive decline would have been "infowars nonsense".

    His son's laptop has been confirmed as true.

    But I won't try to convince you otherwise. You seem to be as entrenched in your view as the MAGA lunatics are



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,625 ✭✭✭✭odyssey06


    RFK is an insane anti vaxxer whose own family came out to distance themselves from his anti semitic rants.

    Biden has a stammer, he struggles with words at time, he is in decline but he is by far the 'sane' option over two unhinged racists. Trump is also a rapist and a felon who has already tried to steal one election.

    The only sane option for any small d democrat is Biden (or any other sane Democrat).

    ”completely legitimate” doing a lot of heavy lifting for a laptop that went through a lot of hands.

    The Shokin thing still? Get un-spun already. Ousting Shokin was official US (and international) policy. Even the policy of congressional Republicans. There is no conspiracy here. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/10/02/correcting-media-error-bidens-ukraine-showdown-was-december/

    you are incorrect he was not “deemed unfit” the prosecutor only opined that Biden would present as too sympathetic to a jury and the evidence wasn’t strong enough to guarantee conviction.

    And you don’t even defend the throwaway line about the Diary good lad



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 483 ✭✭Yvonne007


    I'm not a lad. But I'm ok with misgendering.

    Why is it that Biden would be too sympathetic to the jury then?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 483 ✭✭Yvonne007


    Well there we go.

    I'm glad you are willing to admit how entrenched you are. You don't support Biden, you hate trump.

    You are unable to have an objective and intelligent debate because you everything you say is purely based on hatred.

    But at least you admit it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,625 ✭✭✭✭odyssey06


    It is a dead giveaway when someone throws out a loaded premise about being "objective" in a post - they are anything but.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 483 ✭✭Yvonne007


    I'm not really objective to be honest. I would definitely lean more towards Trump than Biden, but from what I have read here so far, I would end up in circular conversations with the same five or six people about how wrong I am. I just think it's very funny and telling how the conversation has gone from how better Biden is, to how we need to get anyone else in except biden to beat Trump. Any insinuation about Biden being incapable was heralded as misinformation by the media but now is accepted.



  • Registered Users Posts: 13 hollowden


    An insane anti vaxxer? have you even listened to what he said? Theres nothing insane about exposing vaccines, whats insane is people have blind trust in Big Pharma.

    His own family are hardcore Democrates which is basically a cult at this point.

    Biden if we are going to be completely honest is a walking corpse, he is incapable of forming a sentence let alone being the leader of the US.

    Your lying if you say he is a good option and its not even a debate anymore its a fact he is in serious decline he is medically unfit to do the job.

    RFK or Trump for me anyway if we were in an honest world Biden would be ruled medically unfit which he is.

    Its not a stammer he is rambling and raving bouncing from thought to though in a incoherent manner.

    Only Trump haters and democrate fanatics think biden is a good option its insanity.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 85,686 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    you lean Trump but given the complaints you pretend to have about Biden, everything Trump is is actually those things, with much higher degrees of actual evidence, and far worse: shakedowns, bribes, quid pro quos, Ukraine, Saudi Arabia, and sex acts with underage girls.

    But you lean Trump?


    Yeah, suuuure. Mask slipped so early into your run here.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,115 ✭✭✭✭aloyisious


    Tonight's debate between the candidates should help sort the truth out from the disinformation. I might stay up to watch it on the box to see how they treat and behave towards each other.

    Trump is a racist, a rapist, a felon, he tried to steal one election and if re-elected has declared he will be a dictator on day one… there is a plan in place to ensure next time round, Trump will be surrounded by yes men and weasels, nobody who cares about pesky things like democracy and the rule of law. There's nothing 'very funny' about that.

    Trump is unhinged. Have a look at his rant about electrocuting sharks. His racist rant about immigrants "poisoning our blood". Probably went down a storm with the regrettably large number of racists who can vote.

    Trump is incapable of conducting himself in a responsible manner. He fell asleep in court. He was in contempt of court multiple times.

    Biden is better than Trump. A better man. A better president - if you care about America and American democracy and what that means for the world. People who care about that may differ on whether Biden or another Democrat is the best candidate to stop Trump, but not that Trump must be stopped.

    Not unexpected that most people don't like a racist rapist unless they have something in common with them, are fúcked in the head or are as thick as pig shít, and it isn't like trump doesn't also have other traits that people dislike.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,539 ✭✭✭✭kowloon


    It has been confirmed as true that Hunter Biden has a laptop? What's on it? So far a few people have claimed they had it and promised to release the contents. Mike Lindell was one of them and we'll get his analysis any day now…



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 85,686 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    this has been a very interesting turn of development. It seems like that “bloodless” 2nd American Revolution comment is really proving nuclear to their analytics



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 946 ✭✭✭bog master


    I thought America's Mayor promised he would release the contents! Yeah, been a bit busy in court and getting disbarred in New York!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,877 ✭✭✭✭looksee


    It seems most likely that these new voices are bots, and that surprise surprise, Trump is lying about connections to 2025.

    What else is new.

  • Registered Users Posts: 13 hollowden


    I dont care who wins but i think the people in denial about biden are equally as fucked in the head, genuine lunatics and fanatics trying to justify themselves by hating trump. Warped strange people!



  • Registered Users Posts: 13 hollowden


    How does that make him unsuitable?? Is being a based and level person a bad thing now? we currently are listening to the ramblings of senile old man wandering around the place aimlessly. But suddenly RFK is unsuitable gimme a break lmao.

    Do show us more clipped up snippets of twitter posts to back your enlightened argument lol

    What was confirmed true? If it was so damaging why wasn't it brought up in the fbi/house investigations?

    How can you not care who wins? Either you have no concept of the impact that the USA has over the world or you have no understanding of how despicable a person Trump is and the litany of crimes and awful actions he has done.

    You may well not think Biden should be POTUS, but it's an odd position to take that you simply don't care which one wins.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,147 ✭✭✭I.R.Y.E.D




  • Registered Users Posts: 13 hollowden


    I am not a US citizen i have 0 impact over who wins, so no point in me really caring about who wins.

    I am more concerned about the types of people who vote for the sides, going by this thread its scary that such fanatical people with such warped logic exist. One side are essentially voting for a corpse out of hatred for Trump, and the Trump voters are fanatical in there own way but are more concerned about there own country instead of the extreme left leaning horse **** that the biden voters rave over.

    I would like to see RFK win i think he is the more reasonable and logical of the two other candidates. Outside of the smear campaigns he seems genuinely interested in bettering the country for the people.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,115 ✭✭✭✭aloyisious


    I know nothing about Project 2025. I have no idea who is behind it. I disagree with some of the things they’re saying and some of the things they’re saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal. Anything they do, I wish them luck, but I have nothing to do with them.

    Donald Trump…

    Their speeches he disagrees with and thinks ridiculous and abysmal BUT ANYTHING THEY DO, he wishes them luck [with], but he has nothing to do with them. I wonder what the ANYTHING THEY DO [acts, not words] that he wants nothing to do with is likely to be is. He obviously has thoughts about THEM AND IT that he felt it necessary to issue a denial of involvement in advance of whatever they do…..



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,780 ✭✭✭✭Leroy42


    Not being able to have an impact and not caring are two different things.

    If you didn't care then you wouldn't be complaining that people are backing Biden.

    Biden has clearly age related issues, but he isn't a corpse and to date has been a very successful POTUS.

    Trump supporters are not interested in their own country. They hate almost everything about it. They hate the lack of religion in schools. They hate women having a choice on abortion. They implicitly want the US to go back to a different time - just ensure when it is - but certainly not now.
