He hasn’t been paying attention. It’s been like this for long time.

I'd hasten to guess over half the posters on here would have considered themselves a democrat thirty years ago.

Yep, my entire family, didn’t even know a Republican growing up. Now it’s the complete opposite, almost none vote for Democrats, despise them, it’s so weird

50 years ago when I turned 18 I had to register for the draft and to vote at a firehouse of all places. When asked if I was registering for democrat or republican I said second by chance as we never talked politics in the house and growing up in a rural setting I had no idea what the difference was until later that day when I mentioned to my father. He was a Democrat himself and as he basically said that they are all deceiving bastards but some are worse. He was a cop and was loaded down with well known friends but never participated in their circles as he had once been a vice cop in the fifties and sixties and saw all the cross over ties between the so call good guys and mob. I truly think he that he saw political corruption worse than mobsters.

The old Democratic Party with their “big tent” philosophy and weak-kneed approach to ever draw a line and take a stand for basic values, allowed the far Left Marxists to march right on in and take over.

To the extent if many old “traditional American moderate Democrats” remain, they have zero voice in that party today.

It’s a radical Leftist party ran by radicals.

bullshite. Karp is a far leftist and has proven it more than once.

Palantir is doing PR control because a lot of people have been asking why uber Trump-backer Theil would start an AI mind-rape super-company with the likes of Karp, a massive leftist, a company which does shite like sponsor Trump's big military parade.

I guess it was too much of a pigs-in-the-farmhouse observation for them.

Gonna have to correct him. The GOP of the Bush era and even today is still thrilled to be the Washington Generals and put on a show while constantly taking Ls and damaging the lives of their own voters.

That interviewer was shitting his pants. He was about to say something along the lines of "ok, let me redirect the conversation..." before the clip cut off.

I don't trust Palantir at all. It's an intelligence-funded apparatus installed by globalists for the ultimate control.

Same. And if that's their CEO, with his performative hair quaff to give him an aire of Einsteinian uber-intelligence and his coked-up seat shifting, I also don't worry that much about them much because they're going to fail so hard that the world's mood will be increased 10-fold by the uplift from the shadenfreude fallout.

I finally left when they had to pass the bill to find out what was in it. Still to this day one of the stupidest things I have ever heard.

Florida and Miami are becoming the epicenter of unbelievable wealth but I fear they are bringing their California liberal policies with them just not to the extreme that was there before

I am not sure it is a good thing for Florida

This is the guy that can never sit still in a seat because he does too much cocaine. Being hopped up all the time can lead to some interesting opinions.

They are further left and doubling down.

But yeah. The decline of blue cities and states didn’t just start yesterday. There’s a reason people shift right as they age.

They realize their world view isn’t realistic.

Peter Thiel is literally an anagram for The Reptile. If you believe that’s a coincidence.. same dude who hesitated to answer a question about “should mankind survive?”
