Unfortunately tho Desantis will have a ton of damage to undo


Weird flex that you come in here, spout some incoherent nonsense then dip. I’m failing to see what you get out of it.

A Trump third party is the nightmare for the GOP. Even if it isn't anything approaching viable, it still energizes the anti-Trump enthusiasm without the pro-Trump enthusiasm working for them.

I think Trump not getting the nomination could put the GOP in similar scenarios even if he doesn't actually start another party. One problem could be Trump distinctly branding MAGA as separate from the GOP, which would be a huge blow to voter enthusiasm.

Comrade Bonscott is struggling with the fact that Biden is driving down inflation and wiping out the Russians...

Small impotent frustrated lives require emotional release. "Owning the libs" then retreating is at least a way you can pat yourself on the back. Picking the winning Political team makes a person feel as powerful as following a winning sports team. His team is Repubs. That's all that matters. it's not like you can argue a person out of following the team they have irrationally chosen. And there is a built in support group to that one, listening to millionaire fatheads on Fox News tell you your frustration with life is somebody else's fault is liberating and enraging at the same time. It's almost as good as having actual real life friends. Weaponized ignorance is what elected the last idiot. He speaks their language: incoherent whining and blaming without taking responsibility. There are a s-ton of people in this country who want to be told they are smart for being stubborn and prejudiced and you know, @55h*les. That our country should only belong to that sort of person.

Well, we may irrationally follow the Wizards, but we don’t go to the Warriors board and tell everybody there how much better we are. Ever done that, Bonscott?

I honestly don’t get it. Like he literally comes in here and writes stuff then disappears. It’s super weird behavior. At least guys like Popper, Nate and even STD would have back and forth leading to some type of conversation. Bonscott is just talking to himself then dips and reappears like a bad case of the herpes every few months.

well, I mean, do you prefer people who are afraid to engage because they're afraid they might be proven wrong, or people who engage fearlessly because they refuse to listen to reason? pick your poison

I think some cut-and-run posters leave not because they’re afraid of engaging but because they’re on a troll-the-Libs treasure hunt and time is of the essence.Not intended as a joke, more as a warning.

Let’s see what Bon Scott has to say about that.

This is literally the right wing mindset in a nutshell. Just mind blowing how anyone has this mindset.

there are definitely crappy sports fans that root for injuries and other loathsome behavior.

President Donald Trump referred to African countries, Haiti and El Salvador as "shithole" nations during a meeting Thursday and asked why the U.S. can't have more immigrants from Norway.

Turns out being a propagandist for 2022 Hitler doesn’t feel as good or lucrative as it sounds.

NYT reports Dems are possibly getting their midterm hopes too high.
Meanwhile new women voters are outpacing new men voters by
significant margins. We shall see.

If women don't come out in droves to defeat the forced birth nightmare being forced on us right now we deserve what we get.

Polls don't even try to estimate changes in turnout - they all just assume we'll be as apathetic as we were before. Well, some of them ask if you're a likely voter but that's like asking people to estimate the monetary value of a species going extinct - they have no idea.

It can’t just be women, it needs to be men too voting out the anti woman Facists of the Republican Party. These people would let your wife, sister, mother, daughter niece, aunt, girlfriend, friend etc to die just to serve their insane ideology.

Seems to me there it should be easier to form a strong voting coalition of "Men and Women who like Sex".
