As usual on that site whenever I see something is trending, I click on it, and its just a bunch of tweets talking about the fact its trending but I don't see the sources. So I guess I can't get on them... yet. But it certainly sounds like something that side says. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RatkoVarda Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 this is a repeat of everyone falling in line behind Harris; everyone is now falling in line behind Walz Good Vibes for 91 Days! Can vibes win an election? I wish that was not the case, and that we could discuss substantive issues, but I don't think most Americans want that at all.

Can vibes win an election? I wish that was not the case, and that we could discuss substantive issues, but I don't think most Americans want that at all. There is something to just running on a 'trust me' campaign *if* you think your candidate can connect at that level. If you can persuade the electorate you care about them you do not need to be as specific on policy. But it's tricky. I did not agree with R Reagan's politics on almost any issue, but I still trusted his instincts on the international stage and even domestically to do what needed to be done when it had to be. As an example, in spite of his tax-cutting mantra, Reagan did start raising taxes when he saw how badly the deficit had ballooned under his original program. And he made mid-course corrections on some environmental issues once the facts got through to him. So I still 'trusted' him in a way I didn't trust Carter, whose heart I knew was always in the right place but whose policies were mostly feckless or ill-conceived and who was often too captive to his beltway consultants in ways that were not authentic to who he was. Reagan absolutely did start a movement in the wrong direction on economics in the US - but the difference was that Reagan believed conservative policies could help the poor and if he had lived long enough to see they didn't, I think he would have changed course again, as he did to become a Republican in the 1st place. He was not like this generation that just wants to punish people for the circumstance of their birth. That's why people voted for him then, when today we look back and say they were voting against their own interests.

A couple of years ago, I heard about the push for free tampons in school bathrooms. As a male, it was something I had never thought about until reading about it. As soon as I read it, it made perfect sense that it was just as important as free bathroom tissue. And then I heard about men complaining that it was woke.

There was ans maybe still is a push to make them tax free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shows the difference in the priorities in both parties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They already would be if women ran this ****. This Tampon Tim thing............All I gotta say about this angle is....... "♫ Keep it comin, love, keep it comin', don't stop, don't stop it now, don't stop ♫ " Keep alienating more women voters. The voting block that will decide this election. Just keep going. I love it.

Kacie Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 I do find it ironic that Harris and Walz are considered the "Youth Movement". They are about the same age as Barack Obama who served two terms and has been out of office 8 years. Love the Harris/Walz ticket. But I also think we have to learn our lesson. In 8 years, Whitmer will be 60. Many of the young up and comers won't still be. It is amazing what the Democrats have pulled off in the past few weeks. I like the deep bench, but also not a bad idea to keep the farm system filled with actual young people. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motown Bombers Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 The best part is that Harris likely won't be as good of a president as Biden, but at least she's younger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oblong Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 60 is the new 50 though.... Obama and Clinton skewed things. Post WWII, here are the ages of Presidents at the start of their term. 62, 43, 55, 56, 61, 52, 69, 64, 46, 54, 47, 70, 78. and to me, Nixon and Bush 43 were "old"... meaning they were culturally older than they were. Someone said in 1960 election said Nixon was an old person's view of what young people should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
