neverHey, I spoke to Mrs. Willdog and she said you voted for Trump. Welcome to team MAGA my friend.
lmao In other words, she didn't run on anything she'd been advocating for decades.
Gee, I can't imagine how she lost, running such a middle of the road campaign.
I have a sister who is so depressed, she wants to die, but won't commit suicide.
So, she basically has done nothing with herself for several years and wouldn't take any advice or try to help herself.
After her last episode in the hospital, we got her into a rehab facility and she improved somewhat. Now I've got her into assisted living, where I hope socializing with other people will help her.
It's sad,but once people get into that downward spiral, it's virtually impossible to get them out of it. My father-in-law drank himself to death after my mother-in-law died.
Sad situation with your friend.
Do you believe Trump ran a middle of the road campaign on abortion?
I think he ran a coy campaign on abortion by saying he wants it pushed back to the states. He never talked about an all-out ban, other than to say he wasn't for it. That said, I don't think the Evangelical Christians who helped him get elected are good with or will settle for that.
She ran a campaign with zero substance or detail, which has always been her issue. That doesn't detract from the fact that she was on the far left side of the spectrum as a Senator. Under an administration that ran left of Biden's historical norms, there is no way to believe she is a moderate Democrat.
Are you able to apply that same reasoning to Harris on the issues she went middle of the road on?
Perhaps, but incumbents have nobody to blame but themselves. Shitty COVID policies. Terrible immigration issues across the developed world.
Europe's conservative wave gains strength
Only five of the 27 European Union member states are socialist-led as a conservative wave gains strength in Europe.

Contrasting with mainstream media messages about the perils of radicalization, sizable segments of the European electorate seem willing to give these parties the benefit of the doubt.
Sounds exactly like what happened in the U.S.
What's interesting is they seem to put every political movement that is not socialist into the "right" category. European politics are very different than ours.Perhaps, but incumbents have nobody to blame but themselves. Shitty COVID policies. Terrible immigration issues across the developed world.

Here's a more specific categorization of the right in that article:
"In programmatic terms, however, they all have one thing in common: the defense of more restrictive immigration policies. Moreover, if we exclude the Greek New Democracy, there are other similarities: skepticism of European centralization, global governance and grand policies such as the new green deal; opposition to what they characterize as “wokeism,” and the resurrection of concepts such as sovereignty, nation, family, religious freedom, or Europe’s Christian roots and cultural identity."
A "resurrection" of the concepts of "sovereignty, nation, family, religious freedom, or Europe’s Christian roots and cultural identity?" Were those concepts abandoned by the "left"?
No wonder Europe shifted right.
I don't think the far-left have quite the hold on Democrats as Evangelical Christians do the GOP.
The pendulum on a lot of the 'woke' stuff is generally swinging more toward the middle. Evangelical Christians have tried to hold Republicans' feet to the fire on making abortion illegal for decades.
Said differently, I don't think the base of people who espouse the 'woke' ideals have enough sway to hold Democrats hostage. And that will be even more true in '26 and '28. Evangelical Christians have had staying power for decades and it would be political suicide for a Republican to not have a strong anti-abortion stance.
How is that different from the other side holding Democrats' feet to the the fire in keeping abortion legal?
I don’t understand how any of that is relevant to the question I asked.
What am I missing?
What do you mean?
Gov. JB Pritzker vows Illinois will boost sex changes after decisive Trump victory
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker posted on X Saturday in recognition of Transgender Awareness Week. His billionaire family is deeply involved in awarding grants to the transgender movement.
Funny, I was saying something similar about the Christian Right over 2 decades ago on the Star/News forums and this one. That the GOP was just paying them lip service and that due to the inherent third rail nature of most of their platform, they would never amount to anything other than a fringe voting block within the party.
Good luck with that...

A Brit offers some wider perspective and why people keep getting their predictions wrong:
I disagree. I think most people do understand politics, at some level. They just don't think some things are as important as the political class does.
Anyone who thinks Trump's statement on Puerto Rico was going to hurt him was living in la-la land.
Possible. I think it’s more likely when citizens are told by the media the economy is great repeatedly, but they know that can’t afford shit anymore…the are like, f@ck you guys. You’re all liars. It’s why the legacy media is dying.
Home on leave while between deployments with Ukranian Rangers, Brian Williams gave his thoughts to Seth Meyers on why the Dems lost.
I wonder how many tanks fired on Brian while he was there?
Why don’t Dems see it. How many Dems on this board have said the exact same things about the economy etc
Perfectly stated
ABORTION….they think that is the most important issue
No the things he called insulting we saw repeatedly on this board. The economy is 🔥. The market is through the roof!!!! As he stated perfectly. It was insulting to an entire working class with $40 for bounty paper towels
Because they are out of touch with reality and really are that stupid.
Why do you guys not see it, white supremacy was the issue, DEI and AA were the issues, Attacking public schools and anything that helped marginalized people was the issue, and no one wants to say that we have a racist America. Who wanted this? Look at all of trumps DEI hires, those people are not qualified for those cabinet posts. They are all Lilly white ,trump and his MAGA maggots want to bring Project 2025 and Jim Crow back. Address the real issue. America at least 50% are racists.
You are aware all minorities moved right in this election? Also nearly all the big cities moved heavily right.
Danc you are right, It does not make them right, They will find out once Project 2025 comes. They will be like the whites in West virginia and Mississippi who vote against their own interest. The day of reckoning or Jim Crow is coming.
C’mon, Troll. Now’s the time for you to show the specifics in Project 2025 to which you’ve been referring all this time.
Put up or shut up. Time to put all your cards on the table.
