The Political Thread

And it's not even like Gay Marriage or Trans Rights are even an extreme left policy. It's a downright moderate one.

Exactly which is why if you can get the religious side pinned the younger conservatives are finally getting on board with at least this aspect of progressivism (slowly though), but it’s just those stupid religious people that can’t get out of their way.

I would even say it’s more so the trans rights now because I don’t hear too many conservatives who are still talking about gay marriage and let’s be honest even when it was a hot topic none of them could really give a good argument against why it mattered if gay people get married other than the stupid one line they all say that marriage is between a man and woman according to God, which is just fucking stupid, because people were getting married before any modern religion.

I will also mention I think Tim Walz has touched on a major major philosophy of a majority of moderate votere and fiscal conservative moderate Republicans. They don't care what people do in their private time or how they express themselves. As Walz says, the Midwestern golden rule is "Mind your own damn business".

That’s a very libertarian stance which is good because that’s a block they really want to lock down.

Yep. I've been shouting from the rooftops that Walz was the best possible VP pick because he is the kind of politician that will appeal to the middle class midwesterners and Libertarian moderates.

My updated Electoral Map.

North Carolina is now a swing state, with Harris and Trump tied neck and neck in the polls within that state. Expect Florida to also be a potential swing state this election dependent on which way the Latino vote sways in November. Ohio is another swing state to look out for. Texas will likely still vote Trump, but expect Harris to garner more support from major cities in the state that could shake things up in 85 days.

The FBI is investigating suspected hacking attempts by Iran targeting both a Trump associate and advisers to the Biden-Harris campaign, according to people familiar with the matter, as the agency formally acknowledged Monday it has opened a high-stakes national security investigation months before Election Day.

Three staffers on the Biden-Harris campaign received spear phishing emails that were designed to appear legitimate but could give an intruder access to the recipients’ communications, according to people familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe a sensitive investigation. So far, investigators have not found evidence that those hacking attempts were successful, these people said.

Those people need to realize it's written by his old cabinet members that will very likely be in positions of authority if he wins. Plus the stuff he says on his own website is out of the 2025 manifesto , like the DoE removal
