IF you Vote Biden that is a vote for Big banks, Big Insurance, War Machine, Blue Dog Democrats

Words to look for that are probably posted by Russian bots:
1. "Neoliberal"
2. "DINO"
3. "Corporate Democrat"
 
Just so you know ......... Blue Dog Democrats are DINO's associated with Democratic Leadership Council which is inspired with Koch dollars.

Don't expect any change for women and middle-class America. Joe is a conservative.

What is it with Trump's followers? They never want to talk about what Trump is doing, saying, and tweeting. It is always Biden this, Biden that, AOC, Pelosi, socialist Democrats, and the like. Nothing about Trump.

There is not one thread by a Trump fan concerning what Trump is doing, not one.

Strange, really strange.

Of course, if I were a Trump fan, I wouldn't want to talk about Trump, either. He is an embarrassment.

At a time when Joe Biden is enjoying comfortable leads in both national and battleground-state polls, it’s a good time for us all to remember the most fundamental lesson of what happened four years ago: Hillary Clinton lost the presidential election while winning the national popular vote by 2.1 percent, or more than 2.8 million votes. The current Republican skew in the composition of the Electoral College (or if you prefer, the “wastage” of “excess” Democratic votes in noncompetitive states like California) has not gone away, as David Wasserman noted last year:

The ultimate nightmare scenario for Democrats might look something like this: Trump loses the popular vote by more than 5 million ballots, and the Democratic nominee converts Michigan and Pennsylvania back to blue. But Trump wins re-election by two Electoral votes by barely hanging onto Arizona, Florida, North Carolina, Wisconsin and Maine’s 2nd Congressional District.

With that possibility in mind, it’s useful to look at the analysis of recent battleground-state polls (taken in Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Wisconsin) conducted by Geoffrey Skelley for FiveThirtyEight. According to the data Skelley assembles, Biden leads in six of them (all but Georgia and Texas). But here’s the thing: In just one of them does Biden’s lead match his national polling lead.

There are two big takeaways here. One, Biden is in an enviable position in many of these battleground states. However, the second takeaway — which is the caveat we mentioned earlier — is that all of these battleground states save Michigan are more Republican-leaning than the national average.

In other words, most of the states that will decide the presidential election are to the right of the country as a whole, and that speaks to Trump’s advantage in the Electoral College.

And that means Democrats shouldn’t get at all complacent about Biden’s national polling lead:

Should Biden continue to hold a sizable lead, the chances of an Electoral College-popular vote split will probably be low. But if the polls get closer, the odds will increase because the eventual tipping point state is almost certainly among these eight states. But as it stands now, if Trump carries Arizona along with every state that’s more Republican-leaning in those recent polls, he would almost certainly win the presidency.
 
There are countless of these on both sides. It constitutes 98.36% of politics.

Do you ever point them out when they come from your side?

Or only when you see them on the other side?

Occasionally I do. I am a right wing internet sheriff, it’s not my jurisdiction. I am sure 5ere are plenty of left wingers up to the job, based on my short time here.

Yes. But when the aware do not point it out to their side when their side does it it only reinforces the misapprehension in those who are not aware.

So it really is a matter of "If you're not part of the solution you're part of the problem.".

Many of my posts are nothing more than pointing out the obvious relevant aspect intentionally left out of the latest narrative.

Just the fact that the words used to refer to the practioners keep changing. It's "narrative manager" now. Not too long abmho it was "spin doctor". It's science now. People get degrees.

But most of us only say anything when we see the other side doing it. Which means we are either complicit or taken in.

Well this is a culture war. We all have different levels of “dirty” we are willing to play in order to win.

I personally try not to be dishonest, but I do bias my responses to advance my tribe’s strategic positioning in the battlefield. But I try to do so honestly at least. I recognize plenty of lies on both sides though.

This culture war itself is the result of the application of the persuasion sciences.

Gingrich brought them to Republican politics full steam. Remember the "words for republicans to use/not use"? That is cognitive linguistics.

Our divide isn't organic. There are completed contracts and pay stubs for it. It is about winning elections.

So the victors can serve their donors.

You forgot the plague, hoof in mouth, heartburn, migraine headaches and overcooked steak. I also hear joe is going to cover the moon with a blanket and we're going to the sun. Of course it's going to be at night when it's not so hot.
