2026 Elections

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

DonOLD puppet Darlene Graham wins, of course, narrowly.
I like to log onto NextDoor (a neighborhood social media app) from time to time to see what people in my town are thinking. A good chunk of the replies to the posts about Nordone winning tend to be something like "ugh I don't care for her and think shes a terrible candidate but I'll never vote for a Democrat".

Satan himself could win the Republican primary running on a platform of bringing to fruition a thousand years of hell on earth and these hopeless fucking dipshits would go to the polls mumbling to themselves "Well I certainly cant vote democrat so I guess Satan it is".
:sick:

"Nordone"?
Nordone is her married name. I can't verify whether or not she legally changed her surname to Nordone or not though, so i may in fact be in the wrong here.

This attitude is bipartisan. For instance, Jews voting for Mandami in NYC instead of the GOP candidate.

Most elections have unfortunately become a question of "lesser evil" and single-issue allegiance. Anyway, Jews didn't have to vote for Sliwa - they could have voted for Cuomo instead. People thought Cuomo was sleazy (which of course would have helped if he'd been a Republican), and they've had several decades to know Sliwa is Sliwa. And a lot of people understand that opposition to the politics of the government of Israel isn't the same as being antisemitic. To say so is the equivalent of saying that opposition to the politics and actions of the original Black Panthers is tantamount to supporting discrimination against all Black people.

Or, opposition to the politics and actions of MAGA is tantamount to supporting distaste for the modern GOP . . . Oh wait :think:

Opposition to MAGA is now equal to being a radical lunatic, a communist, a terrorist, or one who hates Israel. It's a "fear and hate; make it great" effort, and remarkably successful with those who are marginally cognizant.

Yes, maybe, no, no, only Israeli policy.
