This is just wrong though, it alienates the ever-loving fuck out of independents. In fact it pretty well enrages them -and most Democrats- any time it crosses their attention. A bit of Wisconin-specific info but I am not on this guy's roster so I can. Mandela Barnes was one of those who refused to condemn it. We pretty immediately polled and once his words, verbatim, were presented to Independents the man went from ~54% approval (he's a relative unknown, this number is surprisingly on the high end) to roundabouts... 5. 12 in heavily blue areas.

It's -cancerous-. He could come out and say he does lines of blow of his mother's ass while banging his sister and screaming out the Chinese anthem and it would do -less- damage.

Man, who knew infanticide was an unpopular position...

Basic is only a couple months, but after that you have additional training both related to a person's specialization as well as instruction in larger unit movements (both in terms of formation size and distance) instead of just dudes marching around in a block on base. You really can't cut it down below four at the lowest end.

Some are. Alot of people just care about power. Having it is all that matters. Its how they can reconcile being pro abortion and also pro mandatory child support. Its the position maximally beneficial to them. Standards are just things to use against others and chains on you. When you realize that its all just justification for whatever they percieve to benefit them at the moment it all makes sense.

Also remember theres been a massive push to make women hate children because children get in the way of feminist pursuits or hedonism. And when women get past a certain age they hate kids because they are painful reminders. Childless women for what they cant have, and single women with children as reminders of getting in the way of their "glory" years. ("I totally could have gotten chad or became company president or a doctor if that loser hadnt knocked me up!")

Were they always secretly aiming for this? Do they simply have no principles and fight for whatever current thing? Do they all have no self awareness? No long term memory from too much weed? It's fucking crazy.

It's the second. Being a partisan helps nobody but a lot of people are partisans whether libertarian, right, left, whatever.

No, that was under Brandon. I remember Jen Psaki going with it.

Because abortion and the black population has a very... schizophrenic relationship. Broadly condemned from a religious standpoint but used in disturbingly large numbers by the female population. It's simultaneously condemned and used. But this travesty is several lines too far for that delicate hypocrisy to hold.

I doubt that abortion is haram in the Black community for religious reasons. I think it's more of past aggressions with diminishing the Black population in America. Or alternatively, the lack of possible welfare by having children. Of course, I'm speaking through an outdated perspective so YMMV.

Twitter crazy gonna Twitter crazy. "This time the bureaucratic socialist state will definitely naturally wither and leave us in a perfect Communist utopia! Why wouldn't the populists and libertarians be on our side?"

My only specific thought is wondering what genius replaced half the sickle with a cogwheel since in Communist imagery both the hammer and the cog are supposed to represent industrial workers. (Yes, I know that's the logo of the USA Communist Party. I'm still asking.)

Seems like far-leftists pretending to be country folk.

As for the logo looking the way it is, I couldn't find an exact reason but I did find an article on what CPUSA members think of the hammer and sickle that could perhaps explain why they don't really use it in their imagery.

Marine Corps basic training is 13 weeks. After that, boots are split between infantry and POGs. Infantry has another 60 days of SOI (school of infantry) before going to the fleet. POGs go to MCT (Marine combat training) for 30 days, then go to A/C schools depending on what their MOS is. Every other branch has a shorter training cycle.

The fastest you can get a Marine boot from the yellow footprints to the front lines is about 6 months. The Army is probably a month or so faster. Either way, no infantry regiment is excited about deploying with new guys.
 
The influencer darling of the left, AOC, got on social media to say that Americans aren't having enough children and we need to bring in more immigrants to 'help balance things out.' When people on the right say that, it's the Great Replacement nazi dogwhistle but I guess if you add the 'income inequality' and 'capitalism' tags to the story it becomes woke and progressive. Rate me clocks if this has been discussed (Article came out on Sept. 22) but it's really amazing to me:

Let's see.
Convince young people that having kids is totally bad. Check
Make abortion sound empowering and should be treated as a divine right? Check
Make the country as miserable as possible? Check
Make sex all about only getting instant gratification? Check
Destroy American family values? Check

Oh noes! Declining birth rate! Check

"Better import immigrants rather than fixing stuff" Check
 
Watch this, if AOC is already saying muh amnesty it means they know they're going to lose the house and senate and want the GOPe to give them a free amnesty before Trump gets back in and locks it down. And we know there's still going to be 10 republicans out there, even if the GOP gets 53 seats in January, to pass "comprehensive immigration reform." That faggot Mcconnell and his bitch boy Cornyn might do it as a pure spite move against Trump and his new MAGA senators just for all the mean tweets he wrote this year.

Endless funding of Ukraine and "not amnesty but amnesty" are definitely things they will push from the minority, if only to try and fracture the GOP for '24.

There's also been a lot of weird discrepancies in polling, especially at RCP. Brian Kemp is up by like 10 points on Stacey Abrams, but Warnock and Walker are neck-and-neck. RCP also predicted R's would retake Arizona, despite saying in the same chart that Mark Kelly has a sizeable leg up.

The split-ticket voter seems like an endangered species in this day and age.
