You called someone a leftist for pointing out a grammatical error.
Turnabout is fair play.
I’m with you. This place has become flooded with people who insist that losing cases in state Supreme Courts is just part of some bigger plan.
They’re not saying it’s an acceptable loss.
They’re not saying it was predictable.
They’re saying it was PART OF THE PLAN.
I’m hopeful...but I’m also a realist. And it seems to me that leaving every decision to a Hail Mary in the SCOTUS is not a great plan.
Someone just helped you sound smarter. It was free advice from an anonymous person on the internet that caused you zero personal embarrassment.
The way you said it was incorrect, even if lots of other people do the same. Don’t be a defensive snowflake. Understand the merits of the point being made (which is absolutely grammatically correct in this case) and embrace them.
So losing a pretty clear-cut case in a sate state Supreme Court is “going to plan?”
I don’t like the idea of always relying on the SCOTUS to be the backstop for everything, especially given how politicized it has become. Seems like having the states do the right thing would avoid a lot of headaches and potential risk.
Wouldn’t a better plan have bin to just win the case?
Seems a bit melodramatic.
Like it or not, I’d argue that the biggest block of people in our country are people who are just tired of the political drama and just want everything to be over. They’re apathetic but I’d hardly call them treasonous. Apathetic or complacent seems more appropriate.
Stop hating on Tucker.
He was (and is) demanding evidence of fraud. He’s willing to give Trump’s team unrestricted access to his audience. But whatever they say has to be solid. Not just solid enough to pass on a news station, but solid enough to stand up in court.
The guy has been one of the few sane voices for years in all this nonsense, and I don’t think it’s right to cancel him or turn our back on him like a bunch of petty leftists would do just because he’s asking some hard questions in return for a platform.
Just because he’s out on bail doesn’t mean he’s in the clear. Really hoping things work out for him, but the MSM and cancel culture will do everything they can to ruin him even if he’s acquitted.
Germany is massively cucked.
They’re a weird combination of arrogant/thinking they’re still superior to other cultures and ashamed of their recent transgressions.
You don’t see German flags anywhere. They’re very careful about not appearing nationalist in any way. But they still have a very condescending attitude toward other countries and have no sense of humor about themselves.
I’m generalizing, of course, but I have enough exposure to that situation to have a pretty good sample size.
When did Michael Strahan start wearing dreadlocks and women’s clothes?
Stop hating on Tucker Carlson.
The guy is asking for the kind of proof that Trump’s team needs to be producing right now. Time is running out. Tucker, in his own way, is applying pressure...but he’s also offering a platform to Trump’s team. They can have as much time as they want on the highest cable news program in history if they can show hard evidence. That’s a pretty generous offer and one that I’m surprised they haven’t taken advantage of.
He’s a principled guy. Let’s not throw him overboard just because he’s still being principled.
I wish the Republicans had the stones to boycott Sleepy Joe’s inauguration (assuming that the Dems get away with the shenanigans and he “wins”), but we all know they’re spineless weasels who lack the conviction.

Wow, Mayor Beetlejuice’s transformation is disturbing.
I loved every part of that except the chanting.
Leave the chanting to the low-intelligence, low-information leftists who can’t formulate real arguments.
So release it.
This is starting to feel like all those Tom Fitton “Bombshells” that never seemed to go off...
Tucker Carlson Tonight is a politics-centric show.
If you want salacious details about Joe Biden’s SON, then tune into TMZ. But to turn on Tucker because he focused on the actual candidate and not every misdeed of his crackhead son is ridiculous.
The Democrat vs Republican system is a shell game. Trump ran under the Republican flag but hardly fits the mold.
If Trump decided to run in 2024 even against a strong and well-funded Republican and presumably Kamala Harris (or whichever horse the Dems decide to ride), are you saying you wouldn’t vote for him? Because if he does, there’s a real chance he could find himself in a strange no man’s land between Ross Perot (who won almost 20% of the popular vote in 1992) and where he ended up this year (which is losing the popular vote for a second time).
I’d probably vote for him again even if he was one of three choices and wasn’t being given good odds.
I think it’s more of a semantic argument, in the same way that people on right wing websites love to complain about “liberals,” even though the people they’re complaining about are far from liberals.
When I think of libertarian, I’m thinking about the ideology more than the political party. I’m referring to the “Political Compass” concept that rejects the purely left-vs-right paradigm and uses a quadrant to plot Authoritarian vs Libertarian on the Y-axis and Economic Ideology on the X-axis.
You’ll always have your people who use party affiliation as camouflage (RINOs, DINOs, etc.) but don’t really subscribe to their party’s current ideology. IMO, true libertarianism is party agnostic and will likely have elements that probably wouldn’t fly in either of the two major parties. Given the state both of those parties are in, I don’t think that’s a bad thing.
I’ll never criticize a person for voting their conscience. Some people are sick of the “lesser of the evils” narrative and refuse to conform. For them, casting a vote for a person just because they’re not as bad as their opponent is a throw-away.

The new libertarians are just libturds.
That’s a ridiculous thing to say.
He looks like a cross between angry and confused.
Lindsey Graham is a weasel.
There’s a difference between being prepared for one of two possible outcomes...and saying that achieving the less desirable outcome was the plan all along.
That’s the point I’m trying to make. Too many people around here are making it sound like failure during the intervening steps was actually planned. I would argue that it wasn’t. Trump and his team would have taken any win along the way, and would have used it to their benefit.
Anticipating possible outcomes is good strategy. Pretending like failing at various steps was intentional makes people sound unhinged.
