Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Poll: Voters See The American Dream Dying Under BidenThe American Dream is dying faster than Biden's frontal cortex. The percentage of voters who believe in the American dream, the idea that working hard brings more success, has dramatically decreased over the past decade, according to a poll published on Friday. About a third of voters, 36%, said the once-popular ethos holds true, per the poll, which was conducted in October by the Wall Street Journal and University of Chicago. That is roughly half of the percentage who believed in the American dream last year, the Wall Street Journal found. Similar polls found that a majority of voters, 53%, believed in the American dream in 2012 and that 46% believed in it in 2016. The poll defined the American dream as the idea that "if you work hard, you'll get ahead." It also asked voters whether life in America is better or worse today than 50 years ago and whether the economic and political systems are "stacked against" them. Exactly half of the respondents in both instances conveyed pessimism. Fifty percent said America is worse off today, and 50% said the economic and political systems were stacked against them. Those who no longer believed in the American dream associated with both major political parties. Women and younger people were more disillusioned by the sentiment than men and older people.Dean Phillips, the Democrat congressman who manned up and declared his bid to be the party's nominee, says it's "delusional" to imagine Biden can win. Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.) on Saturday criticized President Biden for his recent poll numbers, arguing it's "delusional" to think he could overtake former President Trump in a rematch. "As a member of House Democratic Leadership, I supported and promoted the Biden agenda, Phillips wrote Saturday on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. "I campaigned for him, voted for him, and respect him." "But how can anyone read this and conclude he's positioned to defeat Donald Trump?" he added, sharing an article from Politico centered on Biden's fall in approval ratings. "It's delusional."The article from Politico referenced there shows Biden's job approval losing cognitive acuity. Biden's recent slide -- and his political predicament some 11 months before Election Day -- represent a confluence of slippage with reliable Democratic constituencies like young voters, the outbreak of war in the Middle East and the rise of independent and third-party candidates who could siphon votes from both Biden and Trump. This week's NBC News poll had a stunning result: Trump led Biden among voters younger than 35, 46 percent to 42 percent. Even though that was well within the high margin of error for such a small subgroup, other polls also show a close race with what has been a reliable Democratic constituency. Biden had only single-digit leads among voters 18-34 in polls this month from Morning Consult (Biden +2), Fox News (Biden +7) and Quinnipiac University (Biden +9). (Trump led Biden in all four polls among all voters.) Only a few polls show Biden with a lead among young voters that approaches his 2020 margins, but they are the exception, not the rule. That's prompted a debate over whether Trump is really making the deep inroads with younger voters the polling suggests -- or if those numbers are an artifact of some kind of polling bias. One popular theory speculates that liberal younger voters who are unenthusiastic about Biden and his party -- over his administration's support for Israel in its war with Hamas, for example -- aren't participating in polls right now, even if many of them will vote for him next November. But Biden, the oldest president in history, has never polled well with younger voters. And telephone polls -- of the four mentioned above, all but Morning Consult were conducted over the phone -- are a difficult way to reach younger voters. Biden's approval ratings are headed downward, while Trump's vote share is spiking. Biden's sagging margins against Trump are one thing. But there are two other trendlines under the hood of these polls that spell trouble for the incumbent. First, his approval rating -- already historically low for a president at this point in his first term -- has been ticking down. Biden's approval rating dipped down to 38 percent in FiveThirtyEight's average earlier this month, the lowest since July 2022. Similarly, when Biden hit 40 percent in RealClearPolitics' average this month, it was his lowest reading since August 2022.I saw a clip of Laura Ingraham talking with former Democrat strategist and current Fox commentator Doug Schoen. Schoen believes it's possible that Biden will consult with his "family" (his donors and handlers, I assume that means) over the holidays and announce he's decided not to run again. Schoen believes, however, that the back-up candidate will be Kamala Harris, because the woke core of the party will not permit a black woman to be disrespected and thrown aside. Kamala Harris is of course more unpopular than Joe Biden. Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

The American Dream was found dead in it's cell, with a noose around its neck, in an apparent suicide. Biden's team performed and internal investigation and absolved themselves of any wrongdoing.

Sorry for the threadjacking...and the wall of text...
My parents flew out to NoVa for Thanksgiving to Favorite Niece's house. Unbeknownst to anyone, Mom had a hernia she didn't tell anyone about (because she had plans, you see). It got to bothering her, so she asked my sister (who is a nurse; all my siblings are nurses) to take a look at it. Sister freaked and wanted to call the ambulance, I don't remember the technical term for it but there was stuff poking out that wouldn't poke back in. Mom, true to form, refused to go anywhere until after dinner. After dinner she went to the hospital, they admitted her and did the surgery on Friday morning. Everything seemed to be going swimmingly, so they released her that afternoon. They were staying in Nova until Tuesday, but everyone else went home. Today I got a frantic call from Sister. Mom is back in the hospital (at her own request, no less) with a pulse rate and blood pressure of just above dead. She and Little Sister (also a nurse) are getting in the car and coming out from Iowa, and I'm getting in the Jeep now. A few prayers wouldn't be un-appreciated...

No. No matter how hard you work at most jobs, you will not get promoted, will not get massive pay raises, and at the end of the day, no one really cares.

Remember when industries were sent to Asia because American workers were too expensive? And we were told to learn to code.
Then do you remember when they brought in workers to replace your coding job and made you train them so get a few dollars of "get lost" money? You ended up with jobs teenagers used to do while studying. Then they opened the border and allowed in millions of who knows whom in an effort to give them your miserable jobs but at least they also allowed importation of fentanyl so you can kill yourself.

She has my sympathy and empathy. I just had surgery this month for an hernia repair that I had put off during wife's cancer treatments. One of the direct proscriptions I faced was my usual travel to keep my viscera from getting constricted. Hopefully she is just having a response to the repair and she is fixable. Respiratory and cardiac distress that seems worse than it is can be a complication depending on what procedure they had to do so be alarmed my friend but not necessarily panicked.

Posted by: Bertram Cabot, Jr. at November 27, 2023 03:50 PM (63Dwl) Someone actually ran the numbers on McDonalds food recently. I forget the exact numbers, but it was something like Large fries in 2018: $1.50 Large fries in 2023: $3.79 Same kind of change with Big Mac's, etc. I think the sandwich went from approx $4 to $6 (not the meal, just the burger). Anyways, dramatic shift, ESPECIALLY in the items that are the cheapest to make, like sodas and fries. Now... yes, I'm sure some of that is "corporate geed" (markets fully matured and saturated, but they still need to beat wall street expectations every earnings report), BUT it's like Wendys or BK's or anyone else is trying to compete on price here. I suspect if I were to look at the numbers, profit margins haven't shifted much, and this truly is inflation. Posted by: Harry Paratestes at November 27, 2023 03:56 PM (mj0Qp) 68

"As a member of House Democratic Leadership, I supported and promoted the Biden agenda, Phillips wrote..."
______________________________ Democrats truly are retarded. Let me see if I have this straight. This guy, Phillips, threw his hat in the ring because he doesn't think Biden can win. And, in the next breath points out that he supported all the policies that made Biden unelectable. These are the people that play around with your economy, set foreign policy, oversee the criminal justice system. Give a monkey a revolver...and you get this.

Posted by: Jordan61 at November 27, 2023 03:44 PM (DRSnL) ========== How do we know this number is accurate? Posted by: TheJamesMadison --------- Even with somewhat corrupted information, you can still get something usable--Biden is increasingly unpopular even among Democrats. All political indications are that more people are unhappy than last year and fedgov with its deficit and GOP control of the House is not able to prime the pump with massive spending. At this point, all it would do is massively spike inflation again making things even worse from teh junta standpoint. But then you have muh GOPe to do stuff like Ladybugs Lindsay did about a national abortion ban just before the 2022 General election or cutting social security and/or medicare to kill grandma like the fiscons want. Then you have the dysfunctional national and state GOP party organizations that see election failure as the primary option. Posted by: whig at November 27, 2023 03:56 PM (np9nb) 72

No way will Biden drop out or be forced out. He may be in late-stage dementia but the Democrats don't have the stones to invoke the 25th to remove him and he certainly isn't the type to take one for the team and refuse to seek reelection. Biden thinks he's doing great, fit as a fiddle by cracky, and wholeheartedly believes he's the best man for the job. Dementia patients can be very stubborn.
Biden's handlers could alter whatever drug cocktail they're feeding him to keep him lucid, I suppose, weaken the dosage, and then allow him to be caught on-camera in the middle of one of his episodes, staring off into space and mumbling incoherently.

Rep. Dean Phillips, running for president, won't seek re-election to Congress. He's jockeying for a "sensible liberal" job at Fox.
Probably the best choice for him, since he'd be dead meat in the primary. Too many Democrats in MN want him to go the fuck away; he has no chance to win a primary or be re-elected to the House and he sure as Hell won't be President. He came with the wave of 2018. Was part of the majority and climbed to a leadership position. But as we have seen on other occasions - Rs leaving when they lost the majority - being in the minority is no fun. He turned a long time Republican district into a Democratic one, won three times and I hope that Kelly Morrison will sail easily. He's won 3 time so 6 years in the House. So, he got his pension and he's bailing. Self serving jerk? It's an addiction, this constant need for 'free money', and a lot of the GOP congress critters are there to serve themselves, not their constituents. He offers nothing as a candidate except contempt for the party as a whole. Fox could use him as their pet liberal, except that he's not one.

It's Republicans utter and complete failure to articulate their position on abortion and point out that Democrats abortion statutes allow abortion outright up until 6 months or more, and up until birth by the way the statutes are written for the "welfare" of the mother, while not articulating any penalties, is a de facto 9 month abortion policy.

During COVID, I left the city, and the rent prices went all haywire, so we won't count that time. I recently looked to see what that apartment was renting for, and an apartment that was mostly similar, but slightly less desirable (this apartment faced the street, mine faced the back of another building, so was much quieter) was renting for $3400 / month. $6,600 a year more money. For the same apartment. The neighborhood hasn't gotten trendier, and anecdotally, this massive increase has happened in every neighborhood in NYC. But we're told commercial office space is sitting vacant since so many people went remote and moved out of the city. No one can explain it.

He will endorse Kamala as the replacement and the party will fall in line.
Because no way are they going to have her campaign for 11 months when they can ride the high of the convention for a month, then highly scripted, limited appearances for October to coast to the win. That is exactly the plan. Well, not exactly. I just can't see them putting in one sure loser for another. It won't be Kamala.

Biden's handlers could alter whatever drug cocktail they're feeding him to keep him lucid, I suppose, weaken the dosage, and then allow him to be caught on-camera in the middle of one of his episodes, staring off into space and mumbling incoherently. That might do it.

@ScottPresler LOUISIANA RECOUNT Did you know that the Caddo Parish sheriff election was decided by 1 vote? Henry Whitehorn (D) received 21,621 votes to John Nickleson’s (R) 21,620. While more than 43,000 votes were cast, only around 7,700 mail-in ballots will be rescanned. LA’s touch screen voting machines do not produce an auditable paper trail. Nickleson said, “We know that at least 2 voters voted twice, and that the votes of at least 5 people who were deceased as of Election Day were counted.” The recount is set for Monday, December 27th Posted by: redridinghood at November 27, 2023 04:21 PM (NpAcC) 213

The only thing getting cheaper here in CA (well, ok, gas is getting cheaper because of seasonal fluctuations) is pot. It's priced so low that they're now doing buy 3 get 2 free, and when it's $12 eighths of 30% dank, we're talking $45 (taxes) for 5/8ths of an ounce. Heck, the same quantity of decent hydroponic stuff in the mid-80's would cost nearly $300 (prolly get a bit of volume discount) and be no better than half as strong.

Trump is very flexible in his public statements about policies and people, which makes most claims that he does something due to stubborn rigidity unlikely. He makes choices and regularly revises them, rightly or wrongly. I tend to attribute a lot of it currently to his estimation of the political situation, since he is campaigning. He might be misjudging the popularity of a stance, but I don't think he holds them due to inflexibility.

As the 60s began the country was still roughly 80% white, and 90% Christian per surveys. There was a more cohesive culture, and a greater chance for the culture to endure hardship and make it through. We weren't divided over every single thing by design like now. But the groundwork to destroy the country was definitely laid in that decade.

263 Yeah Trump never turns around and trashes people he's praised before.
Fair point. However, that raises the question of why he hasn't repudiated her yet? He'd go a long way to mend fences with many voters. Posted by: Archimedes at November 27, 2023 04:24 PM (I/Qkd) He only does that when he thinks that formerly praised person has insulted him in someway. Ronna has not done that yet. Posted by: Drive by at November 27, 2023 04:29 PM (MNhXM) Most of the people he worked with in his administration had insulted him at some point. He seems more of a "it was just politics" kind of guy(which is part of why he is also so free in negative campaigning and then chummy after the contest is over). Ronna probably also said publicly negative things about Trump in the primaries. Posted by: Red Turban Someguy - The Republic is already dead! at November 27, 2023 04:33 PM (eYoxG) 292

You're making the classic mistake that all very engaged people tend to make: that everyone else is paying attention to all this stuff.
Most people have no idea who Ronna is. Could be Mitt in a dress on Craigslist for all they know. If Trump is going to beat the margin of fraud, he's going to need to convert a demo that is basically flummoxed by how many types of Cheetos there are to choose from these days.

Interestingly I think the key to an R win is to get a bunch of people that never vote to the polls. Why? Because they have ballots cast in their name anyway. Remember the thousands of people that showed up to vote in person and were told they already voted by mail? Every one of those cases was fraud but was ignored in '20. Get 10 million people being told that in '24 though and the fraud will be too obvious to hide...otherwise Biden is getting 90 or 100M votes...

They aren't taking into account that Harris is pure Clinton Camp. Biden is pure Obama Camp. Harris (everyone assumes) was given the VP slot to get a female in the position. But, it was more a concession to the Clinton Camp stemming back to when Obama, basically, cheated his way through the primary against Clinton.
Another reason you won't see Biden voluntarily remove himself is that Newsom is, also, Clinton Camp. You can make the claim that there isn't a civil war going on inside the Dem Party all you want.

Black, woman, ethnic, etc. The perceived threats would be numerous and "severe" likely necessitating some pretty draconian security measures against whites, males, conservatives and anyone who opposes a Harris presidency.

What’s sad is people lose faith in the American Dream without understanding it wasn’t the economic system that failed them, it was the politicians gaming the system for their personal profit. We don’t need to overhaul the country, we need to replace the pols running it, along with the press who dropped their oversight role for cheerleading.

I didn't read the actual article, but according to the snippet, it should be in a can, kept in the fridge for 3 days, and served over crushed ice.
I just do not understand TikTokers or the people who follow them. Posted by: Jordan61 at November 27, 2023 04:43 PM (DRSnL) Crushed ice kills the carbonation, it is heresy. Cubed. The three days is just dumb. It doesn't take three days to reach equilibrium. Posted by: Oldcat at November 27, 2023 04:46 PM (eoQWY) 353
True beliefs never mean that the believers have to be inconvenienced.
I've see the idea of drafting women come up on places like Brian Atlas's Whatever show and its interesting. The young women on the show are very opposed, but it is clear they've never really thought they could be drafted. When someone points out it isn't fair if men and women are the same that men can be drafted and not women they argue that no one should be drafted but if there has to be a draft it obviously should just be men. Because. And sadly this is how most LIVs approach issues. Posted by: 18-1 at November 27, 2023 04:46 PM (XqcwY) 354

Most of the GOP officeholders come from the economic and social class that regards abortion as a sacrament in order to preserve their kid's options in case of unplanned pregnancies

There is zero enthusiasm in the RNC for anyone not under their control. They don't want people responsible to voters or who will not go along with their lack of program.

The thing that scares the shit out of me is, we're only a couple of years into the 40- year rising rate cycle.
The last one ended in the 80s. We've got 40 years of rates going up. And your average American desperately wants to believe they'll be back to 0% car loans and 3% home loans soon. The youth are suspecting slowly that they will never be able to buy a house at the current and rising rates. No matter. The RINOs will try to find a way to sabotage Trump from campaigning against their and Biden's "inflation reduction " acts. Posted by: People's Hippo Voice at November 27, 2023 04:46 PM (TzW+Y) 358

— If rates stay high prices will continue to fall. There’s no scenario where rates and prices stay high long term. All the home owners who sell have to sell to a new generation of buyers. So either rates fall or prices fall to make that happen. Posted by: Montec at November 27, 2023 04:49 PM (YofvK) 367

A normal pack laden route march that armies are supposed to do daily on mixed terrain would cause some severe joint damage that would make the woman unable to continue, up to requiring dismissal from service. Women evolved features to keep them in the protected community while doing their work while men roamed wider areas. Posted by: Oldcat at November 27, 2023 04:55 PM (eoQWY) 373
Joe Biden then bizarrely claimed, without offering any proof whatsoever that “MAGA Republicans” are “proposing cuts” to “the internet.”

I know a lot of gentry leftists who think I am one of them.
They regularly tell me we NEED abortion so THOSE people stop having so many kids. Yes yes, their daughters might need one too but its really THOSE people. And note, RBG herself said that was the logic behind R v W... Posted by: 18-1 ---------- It gets complicated because leftists of that social class essentially blather thoughts then act in their own best interests. Such as expressing support for diversity but then having their kid suddenly rediscover their American Indian roots or a Hispanic grandparent etc. So they are perfectly happy with expressing genocidal thoughts toward other unfortunates but if son or daughter 'had' a problem--they would be the first to rush them to the chic private hospital or concierge physicians offering succor to them. Hypocrisy is as easy as breathing for that class which is one of the reasons that they are called cloud people. They float above the economy, social problems, etc. primarily by not living where there are a problem with such things. Posted by: whig at November 27, 2023 05:00 PM (np9nb) 376

Posted by: Montec ------------ Doesn't work that way if you allow foreign investors to buy houses for potential ratholes or later citizenship. Canada found that out. Housing is a sticky market in that a certain percentage is churn for job reasons but another percentage is essentially the tradeup buyer. Working from home plays havoc with the churn numbers and rising interest rates have cause the tradeup buyers to stay put for now. So less homes offered in areas raises prices at the same time interest rates have jumped substantially. In part, I think that is why all growth is good idiots are pushing open borders and developers and realtors were part of that crowd---it increases the pool of buyers.

Women evolved features to keep them in the protected community while doing their work while men roamed wider areas.
I always dispute that one. The "theories" about the evolutionary role of women were cogitated by some proto-Victorian dandies, who were to a man gheyblades. Skeletal evidence has shown that in some periods of time, women and men hunted together. The Couple predates The Clan. I have been known to hunt with a woman in this geologic era. And I liked it. Snotnose pukes will snicker, but they are fags. Opinions and arguments about the draft or women in combat are fine, and I just about don't have a bitch in that fight, but you can't base your suppositions on a bunch of weirdo suppositions that are only branded "Science" by etiquette. It's Sociology, in its first water. Use it and you've joined it. Posted by: Way, Way Downriver at November 27, 2023 05:40 PM (4PZHB) 382
I would assume a majority of the 400 billionaires who just treated a communist pig(Xi) like an incoming Caesar last week are globalist 'republicans'. They support Biden, or, at least the people they can pay off and control like RdS or Haley.
Since a majority of us has been losing $1K per month for the last 24 months(min) due to Biden/McConnell induced inflation by not fighting for a republican president, here you go, guys. Have fun. We need to put aside any 'Burke' or Queensbury rules BS and unite around a guy that has made things right and will do so again.
