So what you're saying is that if Democrats were Republicans, Republicans would vote for them.


Wow... What a Tautology. >_>

Tho I think the issue is that all those who decided that Trump is unfit didn't bother finding a fit conservative candidate.  Or couldn't....

If Democrats were more conservative and traditionalist like they were at some points in history, they would probably see voting Democrat as a viable option.

Joe Biden in his early political days existed at a time when liberals were extremely pro-police, anti-illegal immigration, and claimed to promote  religous morality. They were also anti-gay marriage and you can find plenty of old videos of Democrats speaking against gay marriage.

To get republicans to vote democrat all they have to do is do what they have done for decades; warp their political positions to what is necessary.

Correct. Republicans see traditionalism and conservatism as a moral and fiscal vote. This is why Democrats have failed in defaming Trump.

It is not enough to defame him. You have provided something better.

In previous eras Democrats would have taken the tactic to move many of their positions back towards the center, or even to the right, and include their own specific pet liberal topics which have mass voter appeal. This is why it is said that Democrats were more conservative at various points in time. They sought to match the success of their opponents with some added liberalism, largely focusing on the strength and appeal of their positions.

But he is defamed.  You said so yourself that they seem him as unfit and immoral.  It just doesn't matter.  If Satan were a Republican, they'd vote for him.

So what does it say about a group that would vote for anyone except a democrat?

Flat Earth Theory / Re: New idea on observing Sigma Octantis from multiple locations

It does not matter that the model is made out of glass or if it is made out of mathematical equations for how the light behaves. It's a model - a representation of a scheme. If it were a mathematical equation, would you be asking where the equations are in the universe? That would obviously be very silly to do that. Hence, it does not matter if it is made of glass or not.

Your statement seems kind of ridiculous. Using a desktop solid glass magnifying dome as an acceptable model scheme to show how light behaves upon the flat Earth's surface would be like someone launching a desktop model rocket in their backyard and explaining that to be an acceptable model scheme to show how a rocket engine behaves in the vacuum of space.

I don't think this tactic of defaming Trump is working out for you guys.

Voters shock CNN when they reveal who they're voting for after saying Trump is unfit for office: 'But I'm voting for him'

APRIL 17, 2024

Democrats love to harp on Donald Trump's moral fitness, arguing his criminal proceedings and moral character render him unfit for the presidency.

CNN correspondent Gary Tuchman recently spoke with voters in Roberts County, Texas, where he discovered that voters agree with that argument. But at the end of the day, those same voters admitted they will still support Trump over President Joe Biden on Election Day.

Voter Kay Swart described Trump's moral character as "terrible," something that "can't get much lower than it is."

"He continues to make crazy comments about being a dictator first day and repercussions against people who he feels have wronged him," Swart continued.

But, to Tuchman's surprise, neither Trump's moral character nor the possibility that he will be criminally convicted will deter Swart or her husband, Ron, from voting for Trump.

"I don't think he's fit, but I'm voting for him," Kay Swart said.

Ron, moreover, agreed that Trump "most definitely" possess poor ethics and morals. But in his view, anything is better than Biden.

"I feel like as wrong as it's going to be to have [Trump] for president, he's still going to be a lot better president for the United States than what we're going with Joe Biden and the Democrats," Ron Swart said. "I really feel like that we are not going be able to survive another four years of the Democrats in charge."

I'm not sure that's the lesson you should take from that, Tom.

What I take from it is that even in a Republican heavy county, Republicans will vote party lines no matter how unfit the president is.  Party over country, morality, and God.

Kinda proves the liberal point.

Well it certainly makes perfect sense that the primary component of a movie's fanbase is the demographic that the entire genre is built around. It's sort of like being surprised that Transformer films are mostly viewed by teenagers as well.

You're not wrong. I just think it's interesting that of all capeshit films, it's the R-rated psychological thriller with no action or explosions where its most enthusiastic fans quickly make it clear how young and inexperienced they are.

This just in: most of Paw Patrol's audience is young children!

You're a teenager for liking Joker.

Quite by chance I came across this short explanation of the path of an eclipse on a round earth:



You might find it answers some of the above questions.

If there was ever more solid evidence of a pure bot thread response than ^this, I would be shocked.

Reposts a video already posted in the same thread and introduces it as something happened upon "quite by chance."

I mean, you're shitting me, right?
