is there any danger for Omar's primary today? The right keeps crowing about how much money her opponent has but do they have any actual support?

Solaris 2.0 posted:The Rock deciding to not engage in absolutely anything political since his post-wrestling career took off is one of the smartest decisions he has ever made. He's still a registered R but I can't find anything that would make him a CHUD. i believe he is republican in the same way arnie is(at least now a days) where he probably believes in a some/bunch of the fisical poo poo but is mostly socially liberal or socially progressive. Solaris 2.0 posted:Wait he's in a wheelchair...he does realize what Hitler's plans for the disabled were, right? as someone who is born with poo poo that makes them use a wheelchair alot. it seems alot of white dudes in politics who use wheelchairs are the ones who end up in them because of accidents/gently caress ups that leave them disabled also end up being some spectrum of chud. outside FDR and probably various activists.

He was also at the DNC that year. Also I can't find anything about The Rock's current political registration? Closest I can find is someone saying he dropped Republican a while ago and now is registered as Independent?

The right keeps crowing about how much money her opponent has but do they have any actual support? She seems safe? IIRC pretty much every person who has been touted as the silver bullet candidate to take her spot is either 1) crazy or 2) caught up in some fraudulent stuff related to their campaign. Or both.

Oh yeah, he speaks pretty plainly during committee hearings and so on, as well. I would like to see him get a bit more national recognition for at least having a spine.

Closest I can find is someone saying he dropped Republican a while ago and now is registered as Independent? Yeah the WWE was having a "SmackDown Your Vote!" initiative mostly as a publicity stunt to try and get Al Gore and GWB to show up at a WWE event more than anything else (because Vince is the carniest fucker ever), and that involved wrestlers going to both the DNC and the RNC as well. Of course anybody watching the product would see that it was more than obvious that Vince really wanted GWB to win. Because of course. "I refuse to accept money from the one source that wouldn't end me politically in Florida" is a weird flex but ok.

She’s pretty well liked here in the district. Unless there’s a big upset I really can’t see that wiener Antone win. The only people that have really endorsed him iirc are the star tribune, and no one gives a poo poo about them as a publication

Can someone explain to me what this American "Registered Republican" or "Registered Democrat" concept means? I find it extremely confusing. Are you supposed to sign a document indicating your voting intentions? In Canada you can be a member of a political party but there isn't some formal registration with the government for that. The party puts you on their members list, you can vote on party affairs depending on their rules and your donations are tax deductible. There's not much else to it that I'm aware of.

Its mainly useful for political candidates to know who to target with mail ads

Are you supposed to sign a document indicating your voting intentions? It kind of varies from state to state but basically when you register to vote you are asked to put down your party of choice. Some states you can put none/independent/no party and be able to vote for whichever party's primary you wish as well as the general. But a lot of states make it that you can only vote in the primaries of the party you registered for. So if you aren't registered as a Republican you cannot vote in the Republican primary, and likewise for Democrat.

I don't know what documentary it's part of, probably the one about the Iron Shiek, but someone asked him once about him coining the word "Jabroni", and he was like "No no no, I didn't coin it, I just made it popular. Jabroni's not the Rock's word, it's the Iron Sheik's word." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjD1yMU8x60 Very humble and personable, and I legit don't get what D&D bug up their rear end about him is.

Solaris 2.0 posted:People of East Asian ancestry were a pretty reliable R constituency but like most things Trump and the modern GOP have pissed that away with the open faced racism. I don't think they've been a reliable Republican constituency in modern history, and Asian-Americans in general haven't even been close to split since the 90s:  There's certainly variation, but Americans of East Asian ancestry by far dominate the demographic.

The thing is that they may be sickeningly right. There is a double standard in this country. Liberals and leftists are always successfully blamed for problems. Things are going to get worse people. Much worse.

Nah, if nothing gets signed it'll become incredibly obvious to even non-politically active people that Trump's EOs actually did nothing. They'd be way better off caving and signing something and then lying and claiming that anything good actually came from the EOs. There's still a long way to go until the election and while they will blame Dems for the lack of action, most people tend to assign blame to the party in power when bad stuff is actually happening and it looks like it's going to all come crumbling down long before they can pass that to Biden (even if they'll certainly try).
