Great, another party that's delivering for their base better than the Democrats

I guess what I meant is the -sh sound is likely to be known across more reading levels than the -tia sound because it comes up earlier in reading education. The first spelling, when sounded out, more readily reproduces "dementia" as the remedial reader has heard it ambiently

Yeah you should see some of the crap billboards idiots buy in the south, I saw one on vacation that just said something like "What happened to personal responsibility? Let's bring it back!"

If anything the opposite is true, she was hired for not culturally being African American or having any common black features. She had to take one photo in a head wrap to even prove she had naturally curly hair.

They might be playing 4D chess and thinking spelling it phonetically is the only way to keep it comprehensible to the hogs who are driving right by.

It would be fitting because Cruz joining as VP after Trump called his wife ugly and said his dad killed JFK would signify the final submission of evangelical and bowtie Republicans to Trump

When he loses he will almost certainly say something in his concession speech like "I have faith that President Trump will unite Americans and do what is best for this country, and I look forward to advising him if he needs me," even if this would be completely inappropriate to say, because Joe worships the religion of civility that much.

Would literally be a more consistently effective response to Trump throughout a debate

At least normies will clock Kamala as some sort of modern, non-white telegenic girlboss politician in passing, the way they'll mentally peg John Fetterman as some rugged guy, Warren as some professor lady, AOC as some young firebrand.

Liz Cheney however occupies absolutely zero space in the public's mind as anything, and her celebrity is exclusively the concoction of the centrist and neocon media anchors who still remember and care about Dick Cheney, and thinks it somehow matters that his daughter occasionally adds one Republican vote to another doomed bill to prosecute Trump. Cheney herself cannot capture any organic public interest, and any coverage she gets is due to either the cable news hosts mentally masturbating about her across the aisle commitment to "norms," or Donald Trump seeing these news bits, getting mad, then calling for his hogs to find and kill her.

It is the aesthetic of seriousness and moderation they crave, the ability to look and seem professional and educated independent of any substantive proof that they are. This fakery is unveiled whenever you see a Celebrity Jeopardy episode where the news anchors/political commentators get demolished by comedians, even though the anchors appear way more put together and well read than the comedians do.

A lot of the Ivy grad pmc centrists don't know shit about shit, they just know the style choices, catchphrases, and speaking cadences that will get them clocked as thoughtful and competent by the layperson, while letting them ward off questions from smart people that actually probe their depth of knowledge.
