>> Even tiny change can mean Sulu...
Don't call him 'tiny.'
The last time the Democratic party had strong legislative power was the first two years of Obama where we got the Affordable Care Act. Bidenomics, even, was watered down by Senators in Arizona and West Virginia who needed to stay in office, so they couldn't vote for proper infrastructure bills.
If you want affordable housing without collapse, then voters need to give the Dems strong majorities and stiff support and they'll have the momentum they need to fight the realtor-class and enact comprehensive agenda to build-up low income and affordable housing. It's a similar idea with proven success. A new competitor enters the market and provides much lower rates for berth, as only the federal gov't can, very similar to the expansion of Medicaid impacting general health insurance prices. Landlords cannot afford to gouge prices any longer, or they will be met with vacancies. Modest suburban homes eventually become affordable to anyone working a 40-hr week, who saved and lived thriftily in the "projects" for several years. Prime real estate will not be hampered. Both Tea Party and MAGA will exclaim, "but, it's Socialism!" Boo the fuck Hoo.
I suppose I see your point about the last scene, as you obviously have a fresher take of a film which I haven't seen in years.
_______________
Opposite figures, my ass.
It's always the same agenda, but only played differently once one campaign strategy fails to bring victory. Already we see Neo-Trump talking Project 2025 priorities through the veil of the "Department of Governmental Efficiency" (DOGE) and folks like Musk saying we need to tighten our belts and things will get worse before they get better. Har har. (Yeah, it'll get better once they are voted out!) They intend to cut taxes for the wealthy which won't trickle-down, while slashing social services that give peace of mind to the middle and working classes and enhance upward mobility. GOP ideas have been non-stimulative and recession trending since the days of Silent Cal & Herbert Hoover. Throughout it all, they'll say they are fighting against the far-Left "socialistic" agenda, which is in no way fringe, and SOP for the rest of Western Civilization. MAGA will probably be less hawkish militarily than the Tea Party (as Romney correctly recognized Russia as still a top geopolitical foe) but that's only isolationist theatrics from Trump. Defense contractors and weapons manufacturers will still get their piece-of-the-pie, even though the bloated military budget is around half of discretionary spending, they'll vote to terminate the miniscule funding to NPR and PBS instead and claim it a great victory—akin to "swinging the hammer down on Paul & Nancy Pelosi"... and that won't even be the worst of the mean tweets.
Once MAGA voters realize that there's no magic wand to "Make America Great" by mid-20th century standards, and the general population bears the burden of austerity and tariffs, their charade will be up and the GOP will have to rebrand again. It might be too late, though... pretty soon the Democrats will have the market cornered on stability, compassion and statesmanship.
Not sure what all this has to do with the ending of Game Change. She obviously didn't heed McCain or Steve Schmidt's warning or advice about the proper way to be the future of the party, but did any of us really expect her too? The film seems prophetic about the rise of Tea Party and MAGA ignorance and narcissism in general, so I'd argue it aged well.
Palin is actually too extreme for Alaska, but they didn't know that there until she had a raised profile on the national stage.
I couldn't concentrate for another reason. It boggles the mind how folks watch this scene so concerned about dramatic symbolism, character-awakenings, the poor cat, etc, when in the midst of all this, was one the most sexually potent and charged lingerie shots to ever grace a classic film, and with the most ethereal of young actresses putting her feet up on the taxi seat-back and hastily applying sheer black nylon stockings in full view with crisp technicolor detail.
I'm quite certain this celluloid moment was the genesis of speedy sperm, Quentin Tarantino, whose parents conceived him somewhere within a few months of it's release to the public. I was born myself twenty years later, but still remember the teenage, semen-stained bedsheets after late night viewings while Audrey Hepburn, herself, had sadly already passed. Very smart woman to tease us, and leave such a erotic legacy to subsequent generations. It's not her only film to feature her sexy feet either.
You obviously didn’t either read or comprehend what my point was, as I explicitly stated I was anti-woke Democrat like Bill Maher, and am basically acknowledging that the left has an optics problem that plays right into the MAGA narrative. The age of affirmative action and DEI is now over.
Nevertheless, if you don’t think about or concern yourself with the plight of minority communities, whether thriving or struggling, and understand demographics of constituencies, then you would be ignoring Americans & could never be a serious and effective public servant. Many MAGA Republicans may not feel obligated, too, since they represent rural districts with low diversity, but the President of the United States should have a wider scope, and DJT ignores the entirety of the working class, regardless of ethnicity or heritage. He even called his own cult followers “basement dwellers” and armed service members “suckers and losers.”
I don’t know who that is, but I looked it up, and, with regards to me, you are totally off the mark. I’m not a black supremacist. Perhaps Keelai is, and that’s why she’s obsessing about Mike Tyson’s asscheeks.
I believe in white supremacy, but I don’t want that to be included into law to discriminate. I’m just anti-woke, and think minority communities need to sink or swim, culturally, and more Democrats should take up that platform to defeat Trump. The era of affirmative action is done.
I also don’t consider Kamala Harris to have been a DEI hire. She was one of the best of our time, and you’d know that if you watched her destroy Trump in debate, and make Biden so uneasy in 2020 that he had to bring her on board.
Do you really believe her 74 million votes were all a bunch of Ta-Nihesi Coates fanatics?! smh F*ck you! lmao
Keelai,
As one of the more intellectual posters on MC, I can’t help but wonder why you’re wasting time analyzing a boxing match. You could, instead, be commenting on my life-altering thread linked below which will provide insight to the correct way forward for the Democratic Party in order to prosper and win.
In case you forgot, I’m the old-school non-woke classic liberal (like Bill Maher) who you once referred to as MAGA racist and sexist in disguise.
Are you ready to apologize, and come clean about the error of your ways regarding the “woke” narrative in the midst of defeat?

Troll.
Here's how you start a valuable discussion without embarrassing yourself as you have just done:
https://moviechat.org/bd0000082/Politics/67377a018289de78b5bb54c7/White-Culture-and-Pride
Yes, the party of Kamala Harris and Joe Biden who formed an alliance with opponents of old, Dick & Liz Cheney, Mitt Romney, Mike Pence and others, have been the anti-hate party of bipartisanship and unity.
Lunatics, whether leftist or not, are not informed enough to even know who these people are. Please, tune out the fringe groups. Whether Antifa or J6 insurrectionists, they are two sides of the same coin which The Donald carries around in his pocket and occasionally flips in the air for kicks.
Vote for Statesmen & women.
To fix the irrationally overplayed and overhyped surge of migrant crossings (some of which are admirable refugees who are willing to walk 1000 miles to bet it all on a vote of confidence on a USA who recently ousted Trump) it takes Congressional funding and a robust "deep state" of Homeland Security bureaucrats, as well as smart diplomacy with Central and South America. Trump and MAGA Republicans do not offer such a thing, and they rejected moderation in their House Speakership battle.
What it <i>doesn't</i> take to fix border policy is a blowhard on the campaign stump spewing vitriolic rhetoric of hate and fear about latino Hannibal Lectors.
When are you all going to realize that your voting decisions are not being obtained by thoughtful, rational means? You're voting on showmanship as if were a WWE reality show, but it's not... it's civics.
I was talking at length about how the white heritage is known for being dynamic in comparison to other ethnicities in Asia, Indonesia & Africa, and yet here the regressive Amish are living without technology in modern times. They voted overwhelmingly for Trump in key places. They don't represent white culture or pride in my eyes, but if you were to ask many low information voters, they'd probably call the Amish the "whitest people imaginable" based on superficiality.

I hope you find the strength to overcome your poor reading comprehension skills. If you're at all emblematic of a conservative who will "write history" of Trump's supposedly glorious reign, then I'm not worried in the slightest of how our era will be perceived in the future.
So naive of you. You think anyone today cares that Warren G Harding won in 1920? Or that the Confederates triumphed at Bull Run? Or that James Buchanan was probably gay, in addition to being an adject failure who shrunk the Executive office to unparallelled powerlessness? No. What historians record is the patrioticism emblazed within the New Deal, or the Great Society, or the fulfillment of MLK's "I Have a Dream." One battle is nothing, and your celebrated victory on November 5th will probably lead to a swinging of the pendulum farther the other way back to honest, responsible character-driven leadership in 2029 or earlier. Democrats of the early 21st Century are guaranteed to be the party and the platform that brought us back from the brink of, not one, but two recessions. And we'll do it again when DJT inevitably starts fucking it all up.
Trump's non-consecutive terms and embarrassing campaigns of hate already solidify him as a misinformation and fear-driven anomaly during the "reality show" era. What's important is that President Joe Biden has already turned his one-term into a valuable one, as James K. Polk did in 1845-1849, and one that united the partisanship of old while turning the page to new chapters. The orange narcissist temporaily stole our bookmark, but the American people will find our place again, and Trump's own cabinet picks (minus Matt Gaetz, perhaps) will help us to do so once they get a taste of his irresponsible governing style.
It makes perfect sense to a strong white man like Joe Biden, and his supporters, who don’t air their grievances and dirty laundry at the expense of prestige of leadership for pity votes.
Our bottom-feeding Maggat opponents would not have triumphed had one or two of their weak-white-whining ilk had not taken a sympathy shot at their glorious demogogue to gum up the works.
👎
No one’s embarrassed, gimp. But you should be. History will not be kind to you.
While I accept and share your enthusiasm for white European ancestral heritage and respect your rebuttal towards the weakness of MAGA, I most certainly cannot share your defeatist attitude. Poor and ragged "third-world" communities in our vast nation cannot possibly threaten our supremacy. California alone is bigger than many economies in Europe combined.
The country is big enough and rich enough to accomodate their presence. All they essentially provide is labor in service to themselves, and a way-of-life that incrementally becomes slightly more prosperous than where they came from. In the end, the built-up self-confidence of Western tradition will likely export to their home countries via mass communication in a increasingly interconnected world, while providing the opportunity to feel noble and philanthropic for us whites.
Your problem should be with GOP-fueled economic policy like Project 2025. Austerity and so forth. Tax cuts for the wealthy while at the same time burdening the rest of us to feed the war machine rather than ourselves. These are the same ol' goals that have been creating stagnation, even by just being discussed let alone implemented. The Left has not had a lot of power, even with the illusion of being "in charge", because it's too often been a divided government. Not until we can elect a Congress and Executive full of Bernie Sanders-clones will we obtain a purer European model of common sense governance that will lead to a resurgence of mid-20th century prosperity for a robust middle class. The problem here in the USA is, politicians are <i>using</i> a boogeyman of multiculturalism as a means to achieve oligarchical aims which, based on trends, should only be admired in places like Russia.
Thanks for your input, cracker. White success will lift up the rest. Peace!
Harris now has 72.5 million, and will probably get to 75 in the end.
This is only 6 million less than Biden had during the pandemic 😷 when voting for change was on the forefront of every living-their-best-life-liberal’s mind.
The only reason you made this post early is because you’re an election denier who bought, hook, line and sinker 🪝, DJT accusations of “everything stopping” in 2020 so Biden could be given fake votes. These votes are, otherwise, known as the mail vote of population centers to true American 🇺🇸 patriots. Anti-democratic Maggats who put their cards on voter suppression tactics spin their own evil interpretations.

Twitter/X, though certainly headed in the wrong direction of conservative propaganda, was an already established tool of social media. That's why Musk had to *buy* it like Gordon Gekko instead of just creating it. If he did the latter, it would be no more successful than TruthSocial.
I can see how you might think, upon brief examination, that X should be an insufferable place for liberals. The first thing you see is the For You newsfeed with a Musk-designed algorithm to spew right-wing nonsense, disinformation, viral bullying, and three dozen automated AI posts per day from Musk's own account. Oh yes... I'm sure it's really him typing on his phone all day. Regardless, unlike Tom Anderson of Myspace, Elon is not really our "friend." He's trying to incept you and control your mind.
MAGA deplorables eat this shit up, and buy the premium checkmarks, because they're idiots obsessed with branding and materialistic consumer culture. They think it makes them important and gives delusions of grandeur and dopamine highs as if they were rats scoring food pellets. What they don't understand is that Twitter, like America, was *already* great because of the original coding and established community, and there's no erasing that. One day, Elon will sell, things will revert to normal, and it's reputation as an American social media institution will be restored—with all of us quickly moving on from these dark days.
In the meantime, if I were to @ChrisCuomo about a story he reported on, I know I can help shape the newscycle and provide vital feedback, or get questions answered/links provided. Perhaps it's not as effective as actually <i>writing</i> to Nexstar's Manhattan production studios, but it's more economical, quicker and will do in a pinch. I don't need a checkmark to be noticed. I don't need followers. I don't need to linger on the site for hours. I just need to have something intelligent and forthright to say in 120 characters that will propagate through the public relations team. You see, liberals of the cerebral variety will always see the angles, stand out and make it to the top of the food chain of rational thought.
The young brain is a healthy, progressive brain. The old, fearful conservative brain is degraded with enlarged amygdala... easy prey for propagators of fear, anxiety, rage, misinformation. You can bypass all this by recognizing who doesn't have your best interests at heart, and staying consistent with your ideals even as you age.
Vote Gavin Newsom for President, 2028
If you want a logical in-story explanation, then a good one might be the following:
It had been earlier in the evening before Marty showed up and so Doc Brown didn't want to attract suspicion and attention by tinkering with his futuristic contraptions, and depositing plutonium into the flux-capacitor while wearing a radiation suit while patrons were leaving the Twin Pines Mall (or is it "Lone Pine", I forget) upon it's closing. Once we reach the point in the story where Marty arrived, the coast is obviously clear, and he doesn't see the need to return to the truck to refuel. Plus, Marty is filming the process for posterity.
Of course, nowadays, his experiments wouldn't fly at any hour at that location, but it was simpler times without covert CCTV everywhere in commercial districts. He just needed to wait till it was late enough.
That's really all there is to it. The function of the box truck is obviously as a mobile garage.
I suppose you could also deduce that Doc Brown was inside jerking off and imagining the possibilities regarding all the tail he's about to receive throughout history with the confidence of being the all-time greatest scientist in human history. He could probably go back and bang Cleopatra if he so desired, and live like a Pharoah for a week.
The first scenario seems more likely. :-)
