Mope then think rationally. Trump respects power and he likes flattery. Now is the time to take prisoners. Colorado should be prosecuting as much of the 2020 voter fraud cases now! These can be used in prisoner exchange.
Second we need to set up a propaganda wing of communications to expand Colorado Democrat values. Build a brand. Donald Trump hates his followers we should build his brand better a thin sexy brand of young sane thinkers who have fun sexy times. Stop chuckling to yourself, you live in the Trump administration timeline, do you want to win?
Remember this guy beat you! His religious group beat our national organization. https://religionnews.com/2024/11/05/jason-yates-promoted-christian-values-as-ceo-of-my-faith-votes-he-now-faces-child-porn-charges/
Ritchie Torres understands …..
NY Democratic Congressman Says Best Ally to Trump Was 'The Far Left'
Why the Latinos voted for him …..
Maybe these folks saw that a joke – even an offensive and distasteful one – is only a joke and not a hate crime.
They were more concerned about who would protect their jobs and who would keep prices from going up again.
The Dems may want to find themselves a left-wing populist if they want to compete successfully.
The last post from "pyro boy" Rob Reiner on his X account is "Kamala Harris will be the 47th President of the United States" posted on November 5, election day. Since then nothing. One hopes the Meat Head is safe and in the care of mental health professionals experienced with treating those with Stage Four TDS.
Of course the liberal celebrity Trump haters never carry out their promises (one can only wish they did). In 2016 Barbara Streisand promised to move to Canada if Trump was elected president. The Canadian government even offered her a permant work visa as long as she sang Oh Canada before every hockey game, but alas eight years later Babs is still with us.
Zzzzzz. You can't even gloat well. But just remember, trump will not last long. He's old, obese, and demented. Nice hero you've chosen. Take pride in your clown. But brace for the cost of tariffs. Welcome to 1893!
Trump did rallys in Raleigh, Reading, Pittsburgh, and Grand Rapids all in one day. Hardly sounds like someone with one foot in the grave. He'll be replacing the Feeble Feckless Fossile who could hardly put two sentences together or walk across a stage. And in four years there will likely be a 44 year old candidate who could become the youngest president since JFK.
Trump's staff tried to keep him as under wraps as possible, due to "exhaustion." Sure he did multiple rallies. But if you tracked him closely as I did, much of his commentary was pretty incoherent. In fact, he was so uniformly incoherent that those rallies began to run together after a while.
Bottom line, Allyn, is you got the president you wanted. Enjoy the ride.
I'm certain he was tired keeping up that rally schedule. I would listen to some of his rally speeches and his propensity to ramble on in a stream of conciousness delivery and would sometimes appear incoherent. But then that was Trump. Some of his speeches went over an hour and I would turn them off. I don't think he should have given a speech more than 45 minutes and more structured. But again that's Trump and he's the president elect and I'm not.
Forever the excuse, right? That's just Trump.
I remember Limbaugh saying he'd move to Costa Rica if Obama was reelected. He died in the US. Ted Nugent said he'd be dead if Obama was reelected and, for better or worse, he's still alive.
Bottom line, celebrites of all stripes say stupid things…we just have more celebrites than you do.
I agree its ridiculous for any celebrity to makes statements like moving out of the country if their candidate doesn't win, left or right. I guess its a function of the antipathy against Trump by many celebrity types. Seems to be more liberals making these statements than conservatives. But if Kid Rock or Hulf Hogan said the same I could care less. Celebrity endorsments or pronounments mean nothing to me – anyone who would vote on that basis is an idiot. Participating in a democracy means doing the work and knowing what the issues are and deciding for yourself, not the advice of some bimbo celebrity.
As a proud Democrat who really wanted Harris to win, I REALLY don't care about anything being posted on X. I especially don't care about Rob Reiner's usage of the platform.
Democrats have had a problem with effective messaging for a long time, BUT blaming the Democrats misses the core issue: Propaganda works! Lies work! People in the US have been propagandized (by right wing media and right wing political "leaders") to believe that the Dems caused inflation, the Dems caused foreigners to believe the promise of the Statue of Liberty (who, last I heard, was headed back to France), the Dems caused the lack of upward mobility (why can't we all be billionaires like Trump). And there is always "the other" to blame for everything that goes wrong in my life.
Nina Burleigh sums it up well: https://open.substack.com/pub/americanpoliticalfreakshow/p/the-unforgiven?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email
When feeding people lies, it's important to also feed us fear because if we're afraid enough then we won't be willing to be vulnerable enough to challenge the lies.
My latest Creating a New Paradigm for the Democratic Party – Change is hard, but irrelevance is worse
It wasn't the message, it was the medium. Combined with a highly ignorant populace.
Harris is/was a great candidate with popular policy proposals. Her ground game was spectacular and gained her 3 points, as shown by those swing states in which the GOTV was most active. Unfortunately, 2024 was a negative 7 point environment.
The primary problem was not Democratic messaging, rather Republican dominance of the communication channels. They flooded Fox, Social Media & Podcasts with lies, dis-information and distraction. If you live in that bubble you would have been swamped by Republican messaging. You probably thought Trump was pro-abortion and had a magic wand to lower prices.
I think MAGA voters will be very disappointed by the Trump and Vance government.
Another couple of thoughts on the 2024 political environment.
Inflation affects everyone, while unemployment only affects a few people, concentrated in lower income and more fragile job categories. While the correct policy and moral choice is to balance high employment with low inflation, the correct electoral choice would be to lower prices.
Note the word prices. People wanted disinflation – which they ain't gonna get without a depression.
Disinflation anyone?
Economists are sitting fat and happy because the wage-price spiral slowly spun down. But most people think inflation means high prices, which remain high even if wages have gone up. What do those stupid economists think? Houses are still unaffordable.
Interest rates, Investment Strategy and Leverage.
Low interest rates favor anyone in the asset-owning class, but don't mean squat to a wage earner. Borrow to buy a house; leverage your real-estate holdings; your cash-flow pours into the stock-market.
Lower Taxes.
People don't understand that Tarrifs are taxes. It says tarrifs, it doesn't say taxes! And China is going to pay the tarrifs, anyway.
Middle class people vote for school funding, but the rich and the poor are both anxious for lower taxes. The rich because they don't need social security if their IRA's are flush and their houses are appreciating. Lower income people are desperate for a break so they can keep up car payments and pay rent.
When the economy tanks, and it most assuredly will, the whine will be: "But, I didn't sign up for this!"
Anyone know if there is an analysis of the remaining votes in the Caraveo race?
