2026 Elections

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Mind boggling that the Christian right would vote for this guy.

There were videos circulating of Paxton with his mistress in the UK. Might have already been posted but if not i can dig them up. I am forever grateful to the GOP and it's electorate for proving my long held hunches about the rot present in American Christianity true.

I'm not sure if LW American Christianity is so venal, ugly and sick.

Sure, videos of America's worst AG's sins, please.

I am going to make a prediction about the GOP nominee for 2028.

The lovefest between Rubio and Vance will end. Don't know when, but we will know it when it happens. It will be ugly and it will be challenge to unify the GOP for the general. I am depending on the dems to nominate a left wing loon to assist the GOP.

What characteristics or positions would you consider qualifying a person as 'left wing loon"?

Thanks. He looks uncomfortable to be videoed. Good.

Imaginary vegan (which is actually a good thing) and imaginary 'wants everyone to be trans' = imaginary "loon" on Planet MAGAt.

How sick does someone have to be to be taking Paxton's side in any way, shape or form?

While Supes is ummm, "considering" his response, I'll throw in what I think a right-wing loon is. First, it's not a traditional Republican, who likely supports a smaller governmental structure, fewer or less restrictive regulations, lower taxes, corporate welfare, and an unnecessarily big military. Those guys are not loons, they just have a different set of priorities from me and most Democrats. The loons are those who have no respect for the Constitution or rule of law, who happily support violation of clearly stated civil rights, who push niche social issues as a top priority and have no real plan or policy for wide-reaching national issues such as the economy, healthcare, or responsible foreign affairs.

Sorry, Martina, the electoral college was never "a good idea". It was a forced compromise with slaver states. It does not produce POTUSes from more than a handful of populous states and it does not share the election power. Instead, all campaign attention goes to a few swing states, whether populous or not. It's an abomination to the ideal of 'one person, one vote'.

Thanks. Those are examples of people you consider loons. What is about them or their positions that you believe makes them looney?

Just listen to them. Of course I do not think you would agree or understand.

Seems you have to repeat the core question a lot. :roll:

Then, what specifically makes middle school English teacher, Seminarian and mainstream Texas Dem the same as Democratic Socialists or is this just a Faux Noise-style attempt at a smear by a lazy and unsophisticated con?

I have no idea what you are asking.
