DA Baracus Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 I wonder if folk in the US realise how f**king mental these political conventions they've been having are to much of the rest of the world? The Republican party are clearly worse and more dangerous, but the Democrat party are f**king awful as well. They (the Democrats) are very right wing but the US has become so dreadfully right that they are the equivalent of a more central political party. They're still in charge of dreadful, harmful measures that f**k the average citizen, and are still warmongering p***ks. Folk standing and cheering and whooping for arsehole politicians is so f**king weird. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Fain (trade union leader) and AOC at least both said working class. Are the BBC still getting a voice actor to dub his speeches? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and isn’t it “paedo..” over der? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ffs Cult of personality is rife in (US) politics. Trump is just 1 side of a coin and his weight and age aren't really relevant here. For every person who is exasperated that his supporters can't see Trump for who he really is, there's another who can't understand the Liberal fawning over say, Obama. 'Trump' 'Obama' 'Hillary' 'Kamala' 'Boris' 'Nicola' It's all just weird parasocial relationships and the projection of individual wants and desires onto figureheads. 'She's just like me' 'He understands me' 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it would have been quite funny to see all the auld dears turn up at the Scottish Tory conference dressed in linesmans outfits. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favourite "this guy isn't what you think he is" moment for Obama was when Filnt, MI had their water sold off by corrupt officials for private profit and tens of thousands of people were being fed drinking water laced with lead and other toxins as a replacement. Major humanitarian crisis, to the point that the President felt the need to show his face, only to do a performative comedy skit about how the water was fine and he was happy to drink it Also, it turns out his middle name is Hussein, which makes him a dirty foreign Arab, which I'd never have known about if it wasn't for stable genius Donald J. Drumpf dog whistling it at every opportunity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'She's just like me' 'He understands me' My mention of his age and weight was simply to point out the mental approach of lumping everything on an individual who will most likely not be around for very much longer. I agree with the cult stuff being endemic, the Sturgeon stuff in Scotland was bonkers. The Obama posters, all that. We are in an age of social media and memes, its grim as fukk. However, storming about with fanny pads on your ear or wearing nappies or the trump dildos a few pages back? That’s a new level mate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly, He'd be assassinated (again) for being too un-Christian. Don't try it, @johnnydun. Doesn't really excuse being a flippant w**k who clearly considered anyone on lower incomes to be acceptable as collateral damage (Obama, not Jesus). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carpetmonster Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 15 minutes ago, bigmarv said: Biden would have beaten Haley? Is that what you’re saying here? Probably. Haley uses bigger words than the MAGA crowd generally like dealing with and even if she managed to distil it down into ‘Turn Tehran into glass’, they don’t know where Tehran is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just find one side a lot weirder than the other (which tbf it often is) The Dark Biden' stuff alongside the related merchandise is another example of this. And this, which is very cult like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 TBF, that looks a lot more entertaining than turning up to listen to a bunch of very dull people read off, "uhh...yeah, we voted for the only option, I guess?"
