        I've been voting against the right for 20+ years in this state, they'll just vote for whichever ® is up next, Nicki Fried might have a shot but I'm not counting on it, either way she's got my vote, or whomever is going against the ®.

            A lot of these people here are braindead about that stuff, and if they consume right wing media they "know" the problem is "Biden" or at least that's how they'll reason it.

              Heard a 20-something on NPR who lived in FL saying she was going to vote for DeSantis because she can’t afford to move out of her parents house, but will vote for Trump now.

              Bitch, you for real? You thought DeSantis was your savior, and now you think it’s an actual real estate mogul?

              The house I bought in 2015 has tripled in value since then. Most of that before 2020. I moved in 2019 and my new house has seen a similar gain. Not that it matters for me as a homeowner, I can’t afford to sell it because then I have to buy something else, now with a higher interest rate.

                I'm in the same boat now too, and I'm being forced away from my home for work, so now i have to maintain my existing home in FL while living in Atlanta, and somehow my company thinks I'm just supposed to make it all work out. Meanwhile everything was great while working remote until they forced us back into the office, an office I've never worked in as I hired on as remote work.

                  And I’m not really complaining about the high interest rates either. While I love the interest rate that I refi’d at, I recognize that that was very much an anomaly that I was fortunate to take advantage of, and that the comparatively higher interest rates now were necessary to keep inflation from spiraling out of control even more than it did.

                  Interest rates now are still, historically, at a rather modest level. Still means that what would otherwise be a very lateral move ends up being much more expensive.

                  At least 0% interest rate offers on credit cards are plentiful and I can use large (otherwise planned and budgeted) purchases to leverage that against inflation a little more. And some of that is going into refreshing home appliances and sweat-equity improvements, so at least it’s (even if barely) helping to improve the value of my home. Only appliance I haven’t upgraded yet is the range. And considering the energy improvement 0% loans to replace my oil boiler with heat pumps with resistive backups and potentially add solar.

    Nikki isn't going to win either. I like that she is hitting Trump on his mental state and other problems, but she'll never win the primary over Trump. It's a cult.

      I can only assume her play is in hope that Trump’s criminal and civil cases catch up and make her the back up choice.

      DeSantis voters are probably mostly going to Trump.

    The truth is he still thinks he can win, but his feet hurt so much from walking in heels all day, and he hasn't felt the sweet sweet flavor of pudding on his fingers in what seems like forever.

          I'm not sure that clip has the whole thing but Christy had just performed full throated felatio, and Trump cuts him off (on mic) by saying get in the plane and go home.

      Good plan. I'm gonna go lurk for 5 minutes, and see how they're holding up. Will report back momentarily.

      Edit: Okay, maybe 5 minutes was too long.

      • They are still caught somewhere in between glazing up DeSantis for his 2028 bid, and arguing over whether that makes sense because Trump will be running for the fourth time. You have to appreciate the irony of that subtle admission that he will either be ignoring term limits if he does win, or that he is going to lose but they still won't be able to get rid of him.

      • Still coping with the fact that Nikki Haley has the audacity to run against Trump given that she is a deep state operative and also a woman.

      • Screaming that the sky is falling like chicken little in the middle of a meteor bombardment because the "radical left" is trying to hold Trump accountable for the crimes he committed even though most of them apparently don't even like him anymore, and are tired of his temper tantrums.

          It's not contagious like a disease. It's more like a sticky, oily slime you can just wipe off later. It's unpleasant but reality will be there to clean you off.

          That's the thing though. The human garbage that wallows in it daily actually likes the slime. They bathe in it and smell like it, but they can stop whenever they want and come back to the real world.

          They choose not to.

        Not really, but I remember they used to have a raging boner for DeSantis.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
