SE Hoya Containment Thread (aka Politics)
Welcome to the Official SE Politics Thread. The aim here is for high quality political discussion and debate. The concomitant aim here is for that high quality discussion and debate to NOT devolve into MAD posting, BAD posting, trolling, name-calling our community fracture.
We embark on this project hoping to encourage fair and thorough exchanges of views, and also fair and thorough advocacy for positions. We should learn a lot.
Rules
1. Posters are required to have 50 posts in SE over the last 365 days. This thread is not a proxy for the Politics forum, or an arena for goal-based issue advocacy from people we don't even know.
2. Pure devil's advocacy will not be tolerated unless it is identified by that poster as the aim of the particular post. There will be no run of the mill nitpickery for the sake of nitpickery.
3. This will be enforced loosely, but you are obligated to outline your basic position on whatever issue you're debating. We will not have loaded, gotcha-style internet-standard race to the bottom terrible posting in this thread. That does not mean you have to state every closely-held belief in every debate. You just can't hide the ball. "I'm not sure what my position is" is a completely valid position to hold.
4. Insults are out. You will not resort to that in this thread, because that will ruin this thread.
5. If you demonstrate an ongoing commitment to lowering the quality of discourse through incessant trolling or simply being really terrible, you'll be removed from this thread.
6. These are subject to significant revision as this thread develops.
There is a tradition in SE of better, fuller, funnier discussion of a really wide range of topics. Let's continue that here.
If Peter Thiel lived in a glass house then I'd **** on the roof.
Among the Black voters surveyed, 82.1 percent supported Harris, 11.5 percent backed independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and none supported Trump.
In fairness, it was a smaller poll (Sample: 600 likely voters) so the pool of black respondents was likely fewer than 100, but still...you can't get one??
I will defintly give Harris a chance. As a indepedant I was voting Trump all the way. The charges against trump were such a joke it made mad as hell. Making my country some third world dumpter that throws the other side in prison. I honestly don't know, and never will, who was behind the prison push in the Dem party. But maybe Harris is different. I really wanted Kennedy to be somebody. I'm ready to hear Harris, just gimme something.
but it's ok when trump is chanting "lock her up"?
I mean they are all obv criminal who need to be locked up. but absurd to say you'll be voting trump all the way because you hate the idea of one side locking up the other
Biden admin now again trying to undermine democracy in Vemezuela. Dems might support democracy in the US but they sure dont support it anywhere else.
Also Israel are gonna start WW3 in the near future. Good job Biden giving them unlimited bombs so they could use them to start wars with everyone around them.
every day that passes in which israel doesnt get destroyed makes you fill up with rage doesnt it
clyburner elite handle
what Dem policies are popular? more money to police and more bombs for genocide?
openly colluding with republicans
ignoring primary votes and just coming up with whatever nominee they feel like
supporting trump in 2016 cuz they thought he'd be easier to beat
refusing to codify roe cuz holding abortion over our heads forces Dems to vote
taking bribes from health insurance corporations, masters of war, oil corporations, private prisons, big pharma
etc

yeah, gee, this Israel thing is sooo much different then the last 20 times they have fought wars with their neighbors.
Good to see Maduro holding strong against the latest CIA coup attempt.
wasn't sure I knew who I wanted, but now I do
hey kool, the defense secretary just said usa#1 is jumping into this broader middle east war that they aren't preventing israel from starting. vote blue no matter how nazi
shapiro would be an unforced error.. vibes are super high right now because everyone is kind of willfully ignoring Biden's Israel/Gaza.. shapiro would bring that back as he's even harsher than biden's stance. he tried to defund universities for talking about divestment..
i've come around to Walz being the best choice both policy and personality wise. i was originally for beshear or kelly, but i think Walz is the best the dem party has to offer right now.
If we're sticking with the age thing Walz looks just as old as Biden, but somehow 20 years younger.
1) Kelly
2) Andy
Gap
3) Walz
Gap
4) Josh
Wildcard, **** it go Big Gretch and roll the dice on whether or not the suburbs can handle a couple of Gal Pals
Gretch can have it in 4 years, Biden only won because of anyone but Trump. Don't need to add the anything but two women voters to the mix.

Obv. Same reason Pete was unranked. We aren't going Woman-Woman, Woman-Gay here ever. Woman-White-Hetero-Guy who likes dogs (ideally from a swing state). Don't get fancy

Dems were a bit worried that people might start to think that Kamala was gonna slow down the genocide.
