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.
Ok, that's not ideal
This is such an ugly ****ing look
In 2 weeks biden went from:
1. Ok he’s old but he can beat trump
2. Holy **** that debate, he can’t beat trump, go away
3. ‘I’m not doing events after 8 cuz I need my sleep’
4. ‘**** you George I’m not going anywhere’
We’re so ****ed. Biden needs to be tossed from the ticket by any means
naw, just the cry babies are ****ed.
you guys just finding out joe is old? you were better off with your fake genocide bullshit
There’s a big difference between ‘joe is old’ and ‘Joe is a mumbling imbecile who can’t put together a coherent sentence and let’s a stupid ****ing idiot like trump dunk on you in a debate’
Biden isn’t winning. Every possible path to that has burned to ashes. I don’t care if it’s kamala but he needs to step aside
It certainly doesn’t help that every mainstream liberal network won’t let go of the narrative that biden needs to **** off considering those same networks is what gave us trump 1.0
As someone who has spent the last year or so trying to convince their father that there’s some things they just can’t do on their own anymore, I can say with absolute certainty that we are all ****ed
nothing but respect for president grandpa simpson
wtf. totally voting for trump now...
dont really care who you vote for bro
I just find it hilarious that the current president needs cue cards to walk a few feet.
quite unfortunate at this time that dr jill is a fake doctor rather than an md uh2ci
the wanting a guide to the stage is like the least weird thing you could try and blow up into a scandal.
dude is in hundreds of new places he's never been, backstage in dim lighting with all different layouts and he has to walk out by himself. i'd definitely get lost once or twice myself.
there are so many other real things to be concerned about.
alright, what are we allowed to talk about, mommy?

Spoiler
I can only hope Macron embracing and collaborating with the left is a precursor for KHive and the Bros to pull off an upset
whatever you want bro. he's ****ing old. he called into a morning show and complained about people being mean to him EXACTLY LIKE TRUMP this morning. it's bad.
but wanting to know the layout of the backstage of a place you've never been in a world where if you look the slightest bit lost it gets magnified 1000x is completely normal.
I dont think those photos were about the layout. they were cue cards to remind him step by step on what to do. maybe Im wrong I dunno.

to me it looks like shots of the layout, but i guess that could be up for debate. the tweet says "Precise path to a podium" which would suggest shots of the layout.
in the actual article it basically lays out that it's completely normal to have those photos as advance documents for presidential visits, it's just that biden likes them printed out as opposed to on his smartphone.
again he's really old and shouldn't be running but i dont think we need to lean into making stuff up for clicks like axios did with this.

I kinda agree with you that this is a nothing burger, but from a practical perspective I think he should step down and if takes embarrassing the **** out of him to do it, then carry on

News media holding politicians accountable is a good thing.
Biden is really showing what a selfish individual he is. If he cared at all about stopping Trump he would have stepped down already.
The main problem is that establishment Dems dont really care about winning elections. They just care about pleasing their corporate donors to keep the money flowing. Which leads to most of them staying silent when they are heading towards a clear defeat with Biden.
France just voted in their largest number for a party that favors the recognition of a Palestinian State and "breaking with the guilty support of the French government for the far-right supremacist government of Netanyahu to impose an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and enforce the order of the ICJ which unambiguously evokes a risk of genocide.". Should've got the the poles sooner if you wanted that Euro, frogs. Sad
ngl i don't understand the last 2 posts
edit: oh ... maybe i get it now

ostensibly
altho, I did get a kick out of all of the far-right Zionists crying that Le Pen lost. truly amazing to read.
i think victor was happy the team with fewer black players won
