Most annoying "normie" political takes ?

[John Dule]

"The government should be run like a business."

"[Third Party Candidate] spoiled the election for [my candidate]."

"Some Nordic country with five million people who bike to work every day and eat raw fish has universal health care; let's just adopt those same exact policies for our sick, fat, and stupid population of 320 million."

[World politics is up Schmitt creek]

Voters attribute almost thaumaturgical powers over the economy to the incumbent President. This is like rule #1 of American presidential elections.

"Muh bipartisanship" used to be another one, but these days that's increasingly perceived as beltwaybrain and the normie position across the fruited plain is instead "anyone who disagrees with me on an issue I regard as high-salience is literally Jeffrey Dahmer".

[Joe Republic]

"[Candidate A] is so boring.  I prefer [Candidate B], he looks and sounds like somebody I could have a beer with."

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

DIXIECRAT WERE RACIST THOMAS JEFFERSON IS NOT A SECULARIST, HE WAS A CONSERVATIVE D, but in today's standards he would be a Bill Clinton new Dem, Evolved FEMALES DIDN'T VOTE Until 1920 AND MAJORITY OF BLKS LIVES IN THE SOUTH UNTIL 1948 THEY DIDNT VOTE THE FEW THAT THERE WERENT FOR DIXIECRATS THEY VOTED FOR TEDDY ROOSEVELT BOOKER T WASHINGTON. But, they didn't know until after the fact when they voted for Coolidge he appointed Hoover, who started the Federalist society at the FBI. but Rs were the Environment friendly party until Reagan Nixon support the EPA, that's why AZ switched from R to D in 2018, McCain was a Nixon not Reagan conservative, not friendly to fossil fuels.


MOST BLKS LIVED IN NY AND PHILLY BECAUSE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD RAN THRU NE, BEFORE 1948 NOW THEY ARE IN LA AND CHICAGO, SF, DTW majority now, in the Midwest like Cleveland too.

THE DIXIECRATS LIKE GROVER CLEVELAND APPOINTED MELVILLE FULLER TO SCOTUS THAT ALLOWED PLESSY V FERGUSON AND DIXIECRAT JUDGES NOT RS SIGNED CONFEDERATE FLAGS AS STATE LAW

GOV HODES AND BARNES REMOVED CONFEDERATE FLAGS BUT SIEGALMAN WAS FOR THE CONFEDERATE FLAG

LASTLY, DIXIECRAT FEDERICK M VINSON WOULD HAVE AFFIRMED PLESSY V FERGUSON WHEN HE DIED BEFORE WARREN TOOK OVER DURING BROWN, IT WOULD OF CAME UP AGAIN AND WO DOUGLAS WAS KEY TO OVERTURNING SEGREGATION, BECAUSE DIXIECRAT PUT BLKS IN CHAIN GANGS BEFORE 1963 we had no Public Defenders until the sixties

AGAIN DIXIECRAT MEANS JEFFERSON DAVIS BOSS HOGG COMMISSION HAS JURISDICTION OVER CHAIN GANGS OVER FEDS IN STATES LIKE GA, you can interpret any Prez pre FDR as left or right but the fact remains that DIXIECRAT IN LAW SCHOOL IS INTERPRET AS TO THE RIGHT OF THE CRT LIKE CLARANCE THOMAS IS NOW

The first case in law school they teach is Marbury v Madison. Judicial Review which makes Fed rights supreme over states rights it was ignored until 1863 with the Emancipation Proclamation by Abe Lincoln'

How can you call yourself a Dem if you whip Slaves like Romans beaten Spartacus and Christ and crucified Jesus and Spartacus that's why Lincoln freed Blks he said he is doing GODS OR CHRIST WILL

[Hammy]

"independent" = "moderate/centrist" is probably one of the worst

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

AZ is a Lean R state no it's not it's a blue state now too bad Rs, and the compiled map still has it wrong Kelly is up 54/40 but users think they know, the user prediction can be wrong it got KY Gov wrong in 2019 it picked Bevin

[PSOL]

"[Candidate A] is so boring.  I prefer [Candidate B], he looks and sounds like somebody I could have a beer with."

This is actually rational; candidates should represent the people voting them in and the public should see elected officials as smart, responsive members of their own community that, of course, they could enjoy spending time around instead of revulsive members of the same castes that have traditionally led society.

This is not to say candidates should be caricatures of their supporters or that appearing “folksy” is key, but that the candidates running and being in office should be as a whole reflective of the wider population and seek out their core interests. That’s ultimately what “having a beer” with another means, having affection out of complements and commonalities to be in sync with one another.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

DeSantis will win the Prez LOL he is losing to both Biden and Harris 45/42 to Biden and Harris 45(44

Demings is tied with Rubio Crist can beat DeSantis because FL was a blue state in 2008/12 Bill Nelson and Bob Graham were Senators during Obama and Biden were elected

Why is this because after stimulus checks ran it's course with 9% unemployment and passage of infrastructure, Rs believe Entitlements are for people that don't work, they said future stimulus checks contribute to Labor Shortages and only give out enhanced child tax CREDITS

Millions that don't have minor kids are left out and they don't believe in Student loan Discharge that Biden is gonna extend til Jan 2023 in case D's get the Secularist Trifecta and they can pass a Millionaire tax and give out 50K student loans Discharge

Iif you make a Million dollars all the taxes they take out already pays for our student loan deferment already and Pell Grants so adding a Millionaire tax won't make much difference

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

One more Tim Ryan isn't leading or Cheri Beasley or Demings isn't winning because we didn't win red states in 2020 because D's won 80M votes we won't win 80M in 22, as long as we get 65/60 M we can win, in 2012/2018 either and 2018 is closer to 2020, and won OH Senate with Brown, we didn't win 80M votes either, Brown says Ryan winning is key to him winning because of Vance wins he is gonna campaign for Josh Mandel to beat Brown in 2024

Rs don't want Ryan, Beshear to run for Prez just like Caltrina and French Republican whom were the same person didn't want Joe Kennedy but liked DeSantis and NEWSOM whom are good looking as well

Just like if Ryan wins Beshear can win in red Appalachian too, and Joe Manchin

It's called wave insurance it's not automatic but not safe either in case D's win every poll have D's competetive in OH, NC and FL and these were all blue in 2008/12 and 1992/1996/ 1976

Beto and Crist are in better position to win than Nan W and DeJear because DeWine and Reynolds whom are up 8 because Franken is only down 8 are pragmatism

If DeWine and Reynolds win they're not up 16 pts but will duplicate Trump margin 51/43 they only won by 3 in 2018

[LAKISYLVANIA]

"Socialism is evil bruh"

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Eventhough, we may lose the H we are gonna keep the Senate I DONATED to Ryan and we are gonna have SEN-ELECT FETTERMAN, RYAN, DEMINGS AND BEASLEY and hopefully GOV-ELECT CRiST, BETO AND ABRAMS AND HOBBS


We don't know about KS and NH but last poll in NH was 43(/33 SUNUNU and he was up 55/29

wave insurance for 24 and win the H back and pass everything

[Since I'm the mad scientist proclaimed by myself]

Belief that a balanced budget amendment is a good idea and an excessive aversion to raising taxes on people who aren't millionaires.

[Crumpets]

"If only we had a President like Jed Bartlet on The West Wing."

Or really any take that's based on an Aaron Sorkin script having any semblance to anything real.

[darklordoftech]

“Republicans cared about deficits until (the current Republican President)”.

[RINO Tom]

"The parties switched in 1964."

Say what?

If you look at the map there is a lot of truth to that statement.
It didn't happen in one election but by 2012 the states had pretty much switched; Obama won every state that Lincoln won.

Some states have remained consistently GOP (in the west, Kansas for example).

Many states which were and still are very GOP went for Johnson that year.

States changing doesn’t mean parties “switched,” Good Lord.  Lol.  This type of elementary analysis is going to produce some hilarious takes about the 1990s GOP vs. today, LMAO.

[💥💥 brandon bro (he/him/his)]

Not really a take but it's annoying to me how much time people devote to trying to point out Republican inconsistencies as if they were "gotchas". E.g., "Kevin McCarthy said this recently, but two months ago he said this totally opposite thing!"

The GOP hasn't stood for any sort of principle other than the accumulation of power. If you ever took anything they said as anywhere close to reflective of their beliefs or true intentions, here have you been for the last decade-plus?

[Interlocutor is just not there yet]

This thread feels a little too 'Hardcore fans mocking casuals' or "Normies are annoying because they aren't as hopelessly online as we are", but I'll bite.

When folks complain about states/races being called as soon as the polls close. I'm not talking about your Pennsylvanias & Michigans, but your Hawaiis & Idahos. One of my friends was upset about how Biden was the projected winner of California within 5 seconds of polls closing because "You never know, the polls could be wrong again".

[Secretary of State Liberal Hack]

Democrats/Republicans can make inroads into each other bases by running "populist" token style candidates based on misunderstanding what the other parties base desires. There are a lot of left-wing Sanders supporters who imagined the rural trump base as desiring socialism if seperated from social liberalism and thought that if the democrats ran left-wing canidates from rural areas with strong accents. Similar many republicans imagine Hispanics and African Americans as hardcore social conservatives that could fit naturally into their party if they reach out by running candidates of the respective ethnicity.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

I already said my political take the reason why Ds are OVERPERFORMING Biden Approvals is because Trump Disapprovals in the states Newsom has a 47 percent Approvals like Biden and won 66/34 because Trump in Cali has a 60/40 Disapproval that's why Ryan, Demings and Beasley are winning in this Environment and Abbott Sununu and DeWine are winning because checks and balances

So stop comparing Biden low Approvals and say NC, OH and FL are Lean R we know why Rs don't want D's to win 55 seats they want 52 seats so they can win MT, OH and WV in 24 and take back Prez which won't happen 55 seats cements DC Statehood even if we lose H in 22 we can win it back and keep S in 24 DC Statehood, 218D H 55/45 S in 22/24

[Spectator]

That Florida, Ohio, Virginia, and Colorado are still swing states. No, the existence of Sherrod Brown and Glenn Youngkin does not disprove that. They will be replaced by a semi-competent Republican and Democrat respectively next time those seats are up

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Kaine is untouchable and Rs are losing in all those state you make because it's not a white male election it's also Blk, Brown and white female election 55/45 white female vote D and 85% of Minorities vote D and Vance will get 1% of Blk vote like Renacci did while DeWine got 6% users act like Minorities don't count

Guess what if Teddy Kennedy was nominated he would have beaten Reagan, CA would of voted for him over Reagan, my College Professor said Blks didn't vote because they were content with projects living.
Now, we vote because we struggle with Housing,  Blks didn't even turn out in 1980/84 for Mondale and Carter but did in 1988/1982 that's why Clinton won and he was the Fav, but if Jerry Brown won we wouldn't have had Lewinsky and not locked out of Congress for 12 yrs, my Gramma didn't vote for Prez but she vote in 1983 for Mayor Harold Washington she didn't like Carter energy policy

We won the H back and S in 2006 because Lewinsky was gone

This is freakin wild lol, I love it

[TheElectoralBoobyPrize]

That a candidate who's behind by a lot in the polls can win an election just because awhile back a candidate who was behind by a little in the polls won.

That mean tweets are the worst thing about Trump (though admittedly I was sorta guilty of this one prior to him trying to overturn the election).

That just because there are millions of voters who don't like the Democrats or Republicans means that these could people actually agree (or even come close to agreeing) on a platform for a third party.

“Working class” = No college degree.

Is it normies who actually push this one or political pundits/pollsters? I think it's the latter.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

I am not talking to Rs I am talking to Ds whom made the same D nut maps in 2020 and now the same D's are making R nut maps the majority of forum users are Ds that's why Rs haven't won a compiled user Prez prediction but pundits say 0/10% chance that Rs get 54 seats that's whom I am talking to not Rs we know Rs like Trump

These were the same Ds that had the meme KY is Lean R in 2019 and they were wrong then and wrong now, it's a difference make a 303 map but the Senate map is silly

[Dereich]

"If only we had a President like Jed Bartlet on The West Wing."

Or really any take that's based on an Aaron Sorkin script having any semblance to anything real.

The West Wing has been off the air for 16 years. Someone who remembers the fictional presidency from that show for that long is probably not a normie.

There's a lot of curse of knowledge in this thread. The actual normie takes are the ones that take exactly zero consideration of politics or governance like the "both parties are the same" and not like "X is a swing state." A large part of the country does not know what a swing state is and could not name a single one, let alone have takes on them.
