The Real timschochet

I’m very much aware that my views on immigration are in the minority and that most people, like your wife, believe that Biden has done a poor job on this issue. But I’m curious: is your wife in favor of rounding up and deporting millions of people which is what Trump is proposing? I think, and really hope, that a majority of Americans aren’t willing to go there.

Whatever you say, Comrade!

Ironically this post was written by one of the biggest Marxists in this forum.

You’re basing these assumptions on polling but they haven’t been tested in an actual election. I don’t think it’s going to hold. One of the main reasons I am optimistic is that people just do not divide their ballots that way. The “split” that’s going on now is based on a general dislike of Biden among many who are otherwise liberal, and a preference for Trump among many who are unlikely to vote. Both of these numbers are “soft” and I believe will change before November enough to give Biden the win.

Except, my pinko Commie friend, it doesn’t work both ways (even though you would secretly like it to, perhaps?)

Here’s a clue: if you choose to “celebrate” your heterosexuality, the most likely reason is that you’re terrified that you’re not.

Damn some of you are so insecure.

Most people aren’t even paying attention. They will. I remain an optimist.

Georgia may reverse itself. Lots of rednecks in Georgia. It’s a miracle they voted for Biden last time. Too many idiots in that state. Look at Marjorie Taylor Greene. But the folks in Arizona and Nevada are a lot smarter. Right now they’re pissed off about inflation and immigration, but they’ll come around. They’re too smart to vote for Trump, not gonna happen.

Nevada is going for Biden too.

Is this part of the weaponization of our justice system?

Georgia is a toss up but Arizona will vote for Biden in the end.

It’s way too early, especially in Arizona. Actually the news looks good for Biden this morning: https://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/amp/rcna155882 The conviction has hurt Trump, no doubt about that. Next up is the debate in which, I predict, Biden will sound cogent and alert and Trump will sound insane and remind voters why they don’t want him. I still believe that, by November, Biden will be decisively ahead. We should all hope so or this nation is screwed.

lol your characterization of Biden is so off and so full of crap. Someday you may actually learn something but I doubt it.

I’ve become more liberal too.

Actually I have. I’m very sorry for your mother.

Actually… pretty much you are. In terms of policy you support high tariffs, which makes you anti-capitalist. You’re opposed to immigration and xenophobic which are trademarks of leftist thinking. Your knowledge of history is terribly flawed and remarkably Orwellian, and your approach towards labeling your opponents, rather than arguing with them, is entirely Stalinist. By any reasonable definition you’re much more of a Marxist than any of the liberals on this board.

I get your reasoning and you may be right. I’m not seeing it and I may be wrong. And neither of us should overlook the possibility that our already held political views may be shaping our perceptions on this matter at least in part. Again I think the upcoming debate will be a good indicator.

It doesn’t look good.

The argument that Putin invaded/didn’t invade Ukraine during which President’s term is made by the same people who blame or credit Trump or Biden for the worldwide inflation. It’s a lazy POV, a belief that the American President, whoever it is, is way more powerful than he or she actually is. If you want to understand Putin’s reasons and timing you need to know a little bit about Russian and Ukraine history- both recent and going back hundreds of years. That would take way too long to go into here but rest assured that the difference between Trump and Biden had very little impact on Putin’s decision making.

We remain by far the wealthiest state and the 5th largest economy in the world. Trust me every other state in the union would love to be us.

@jerryskids This is my honest point of view, not trying to troll you: 1. I am highly skeptical that Biden suffers from dementia. I know you are convinced that he does, and I don’t expect either of us to change our minds. However, let’s wait until the debate coming up later this month and then reassess. I think that will be the best indicator we have. I will be in Europe so I won’t able to watch it until a few days later but if I see signs of decline or dementia I will be honest and say that. Similarly if you decide you were incorrect in your earlier assessment I trust you will let us know. 2. Trump isn’t declining IMO. He is a scattebrained guy, unable to keep organized in his head and that has been his pattern for years. I think he’s an incompetent boob, always has been, and that is one reason I could never vote for him (among many many others.) But I don’t see signs of dementia.

Or Kamala. Either way a Californian will follow Biden’s second term. So things are looking up!

Even in that map, my state is a bastion of goodness.

Again both you and @Hardcore troubadour aren’t being specific here. What tactics do you want to see carried out? Who would you like to see prosecuted and for what? Since you believe that Trump was falsely prosecuted are you saying you want to see Joe Biden falsely prosecuted? Or liberals in general?
