    I tried to watch the first one just to see if they referenced anything useful. Nope. Just trying to out-culture war anti-woke circle jerk each other. I made it 5 minutes and I had to go read “See Spot Run” for some mentally stimulating content afterwards because I felt like watching made me lose that many brain cells.

      I haven’t watched first one, don’t plan on this one or the next. Paint drying is more interesting.

    You could not better summarize this than by “Seven Republican candidates not named Donald Trump”.

    Trump knows that a real debate where he cannot 100% control the rhetoric would be bad for him. And it shows the really sad situation of the Reps that they let him get away with this: not participating in the debate, simply ignoring the support pledge. And we all know that if the Reps choose someone else, Trump will not support him or her. If the Reps had a slither of backbone left, they would simply exclude him from the race for even one of the issues. The fact that they let him get away with both shows that they cannot be trusted.

      “Reps choose…him or her” lol I’d eat my shorts if the GOP ever nominated a woman for their presidential bid in my lifetime

        Well, they do have Sahra Palin - she would be crazy and stupid enough to get a GOP nomination. The requires insanity one needs to be nominated as a Republican candidate is not just a male trait.

    Ramaswamy’s probably the one to keep an eye out for, DeSantis might represent white rebellion against “wokeness” but Vivek’s imported grievance culture with caste equity policy is a dangerous thing to just shrug off when folks of his caste heritage are more common than not among who’s allowed in via our current immigration system.

      I keep wondering if Vivek gets the win (unlikely because trump) would the super racists in the tiniest of towns even vote for him? Probably, because Dems bad, but i can also imagine them just not voting

        It’ll certainly be a funny predicament to behold

        "OH NO! THE WOKES HAVE INFILTRATED THE PARTY AND MADE ME VOTE FOR ONE OF THEM!"

        I was realizing last night that I wished Yang had Ramaswamy’s energy. Well, maybe not so manic, but Yang got nowhere in the polls because he was just way too quiet during the debates. He needed to speak up more and call others out like Ramaswamy does.

        But I absolutely hate Ramaswamy and think he’d be really dangerous as President.

        Well it was obvious that trump is a complete shitstain and will do nothing but damage the country and yet people still voted for him. If the concept of evil itself ran as republican, they’d vote for it.

      Yup it has been a complete farce for many years now. What is even the fucking point of watching these clowns?
