As much as I shit on like 90% of your posts, I gotta give you credit for a very thoughtful, well balanced take here.
I get most of the Warroom is 'Right-Wingers VS Leftists' and most of the posts are saying talking points from the talking heads of each camp.
Although I'm a 'right-winger' I'm not a zealot, believing and repeating everything favorable to my side. Each political camp has their own echo-chamber that I try to stay out of on my side, and encourage leftists to stay out of theirs and have reasonable discussions with those they politically disagree with. I try to avoid famewars but I only insult those who insult me, for example.
I prefer to view myself as a 'Right-Wing Realist' rather than a pessimist or optimist.
For example... JD Vance. He's an 'okay' VP pick. Trump should have gone with Tulsi Gabbard or Vivek, but Vance is 'okay.' There were many worse picks Trump could have made.
Will Tim Walz, I debated this in the thread and I'd say I 'won' it, but Walz is a terrible pick for Kamala because Shapiro would have won Pennsylvania for her. No one that was undecided about Kamala would choose to vote for her because Walz is on her ticket. He's just the governor of a state she was guaranteed to win anyway.
If Kamala loses the presidency by losing Pennsylvania (19 electoral points) its going to be remembered for a very long time picking Walz and not Shapiro was when she lost the election.
