Can RFK Jr Win? With Special Guest Nicole Shanahan

[acptulsa]

So it's OK to support an inconsistent politician who didn't do something that you think was going to fail, but it's not ok to support a consistent politician who is actually trying to do something that has even less chance of success. Am I getting this right?

Something something Team Player rah rah.

But you knew that...

Why don't you just go back to the Perot argument and admit that you are in love with the two party false dichotomy and are afraid people like me are the most legitimate threat to your god emperor because you'll have to spend 4 years hearing that he's a minority elected president.

Losing your constitution and your country isn't losing if you're voting for the winning candidate all along.

“He gazed up at the enormous face. Forty years it had taken him to learn what kind of smile was hidden beneath the dark moustache. O cruel, needless misunderstanding! O stubborn, self-willed exile from the loving breast! Two gin-scented tears trickled down the sides of his nose. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Brother."

The important thing isn't to avoid tyranny. The important thing is to get the flavor of tyranny that you want.

Nope RFK can't win. Even less likely now that they excluded him from the debate.

I might vote for RFK just because he isn't Trump or Biden.

But these are extraordinary times, and extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures.

Yeah. Like that.

Just to avoid being Homer Simpson. There are an increasing number of people out there who don't want to be Homer any more. And if a third of the voters decide that... D'oh!

Trump issued 10 vetoes himself. Only 1 was overturned. With 8 of them, the attempts to override them failed. The other 1, there was no attempt.

There is no such law, rule, or any other provision that makes ANY piece of legislation veto-proof. This is reality; not your delusion. You're the one repeating "veto-proof, veto-proof, veto-proof", but there is NO SUCH THING. It may set up an attempt to over-ride, but the vote to over-ride is almost ALWAYS different than the vote to pass the legislation in the first place.

Those where the overrides failed did not have the kind of overwhelming majorities that those he didn't veto had.

Face it - He had a 90% success rate when he actually manned up to use his pen. If Trump didn't veto something, it's because he didn't want to. But YOU'RE desperate to believe your fantasy.

Because he chose his battles wisely.
You don't bat .400 by swinging at every pitch.

We will never know that for certain, will we? And why won't we ever know for sure? Because your theory is untested. And why is your theory untested? Because the "Alpha Male" you cuck for has no balls.

We have the vote records, we know how many people voted for them.

We have the vote records, we know how many people voted for them.

So? We also know that the totals almost always change for the override votes, too. Almost always, because an override gets attention from the public, and some congresspeople get cold feet at that point.

You aren't going to change it enough when the numbers are too big.
And the politicians are going to be under extra pressure in the press to pass a budget bill, the press will trot out every heartbleed thing that is being denied funding to beat everyone over the head with.

That's when it was nice to have a president with character.

Haven't had one of those in this millenia. But it's not impossible.

I'm not saying this live fire exercise might not put a fear of God in Trump for real. I'll keep an open mind. But I don't trust him to undo the coup.

It's a lot easier for groups like us to weigh in on policy during a revolution than during business as usual. So whether you like RFKJr's policies or not, if these people are who they seem to be, while he's ducking sniper fire he might be willing to bend to our will. And they certainly won't be aiming at the teleprompters.

Busting this uniparty is more important than loving Trump or getting back the election they stole. They're stealing a damned sight more than that, and Trump really did help them do it (inflation is theft).

Yes, Trump got nicked by a bullet, or a piece of glass, or something. Maybe he was a party to this setup, maybe not. If not, maybe it'll have an effect on him, maybe not. But he's trumped, because Kennedy lost a cousin, an uncle and his father. This uniparty must go, at all cost, even if we don't get to avenge our Trumpy Bear (who, unlike a trio of Kennedies, is no worse off than Evander Holyfield).
