[OFF TOPIC] Politics Thread

Those Americans who aren't committed Social Justice Warriors are in for a difficult time in the next four years .

Remember Biden is in obvious cognitive decline and probably won't do the full term .

Remember Harris is so popular she was scoring an asterisk  ( or less than 1% of the vote ) when she withdrew from the Democratic Nomination for President 

 

Interesting times ahead for non Americans

Why? A republican pollster (though not one with the greatest reputation) showed about 2/3 of the republican voters would vote for him, even after the situation at the Capitol. It would certainly be a massive blow to his chances, but he could still very well be a strong candidate in 2024, the Republicans wanting it or not.

Trusting Republican polls only when they fit aside... The reality is that most voters vote for parties and not for specific candidates. Just like most sports fans cheer for/against nations rather than athletes.

 

With Fox News no longer by Trump's side, Republicans can easily sell another candidate. Besides, a megalomaniac like Trump choosing to run independent after all this is more than just feasible.

Though much of Fox news has cut ties there are still some major supporters there.

Meanwhile the last 4 years has showed quite a lot of what Trump on the ticket does. 2016 and 2020 were pretty good (sure they lost the presidency but down-ticket they did very well) while 2018 and the Special elections were pretty disasterous. 
Sure a lot vote for the party and not the person, but it would be crazy not to admit that he managed to get a lot of not so republican voters out there who could very well be lost again if he or people like him aren't there.

Don't get me wrong, the Republican Party could certainly also end up lie before Trump again, but it is pretty damn uncertain.

Impeachment won't make him a bigger threat as a candidate if it makes him incapable of running.

 

As a candidate, yes it won't make him a bigger threat but it would make his grip over his supporters even stronger and you don't want a situation where the next Republican primary is decided by a Trump endorsement.

And we go, Matteo Renzi (17 senators to 315) decide to close the government with M5S-PD and some left-wing party.

As always, Renzi is fucking dumb...

 

3rd governament since march 2018 is coming and, according to media, we already had in the years the most right-wind and the most left-wing governament in the Italian history

 

What circus

More right-wing than Mussolini? Some negative way, yet still impressive.

I see that the Dutch Government has ended up stepping down. Can you tell more about the situation, @heywoodu?

It's funny, in Poland several government critics accused Law & Justice of buying votes when they adopted a similar 500+ children welfare programme (that was supposedly going to be spend not on children but vodka because it's Poland) yet an albatross of a child welfare programme in the Netherlands brings that government down (which shows you how idiotic the anti-Law & Justice critique in terms of 500+ really are).

 

Holland has been accused of being the driving force behind the rich EU North's fiscal policies, turns out these fuckers even wanted to save money at the expense of their own country's children? No wonder they're history now. Good riddance!

We‘ll see about that ...

 

Also: Once again great job connecting unrelated things to support your narrative.
