Don't get too cocky Tal, the PHellP old guard are on their collective way to their eternal fates and it won't be pretty in there either when the Christie/Davis era politicos say goodbye to the world.
This is a "hate crime" because transsexuals are one of the most revered deities of the American pantheon, and being bought and owned Davis has to appease his masters.
This author is clueless if he thinks that seat was winnable for the FNM. All one needs to do is look at the voting history and realize that contest was over before it ever started. Pintard is not the next coming of Ingraham but the people who are calling for his head without even giving him a chance to contest a general election are clueless. All one needs to do is look at the British or Canadian Tories to realize what happens to parties that change leaders like underwear. At least give the man a chance to lead the party into an election and then can him if he under-performs.
You can just go online and find a livestream link for pretty much any NFL game these days. It amazes me that people still pay for these services. More money than sense.
A convention will not solve the FNM's long term problems. The biggest problem that the FNM faces is that there are no politically astute leaders in the party outside of Ingraham. People said that Papa was crazy for telling the FNM not to contest the by-election, but here we are with a bunch of money wasted in a vain attempt to capture a PHellP safe seat on top of increased internal strife. Any time that seat voted FNM historically was an anomaly, all one needed to do was look at the voting history and realize that any money spent on that race was wasted.
I feel that Pintard is being unfairly ragged because there was no chance of the FNM winning that seat outside of a blowout general election victory, but I also feel that it showed poor vision and a lack of wisdom to contest it in the first place. I stand by prediction that the CoI will displace the FNM as the primary opposition to the PHellP in the long term. The change won't happen right away, but I don't see the FNM being able to continue as it currently is in the long term.
Call me crazy but I believe that we will see the CoI overtake the FNM as the primary opposition to the PHellP within a few election cycles. The FNM never achieved any noteworthy electoral success prior to Ingraham, and has been nothing but a disorganized, chaotic mess without him. The FNM was the Ingraham party for all intents and purposes, and there is no strongman leader in there capable of guiding them out of the electoral wilderness the way that he did. Lincoln is determined and relentless in his campaigning, and managed to pull the CoI over the 20% vote threshold in two seats in the 2021 general despite not having access to the mountains of funding that the establishment parties do. I don't see the FNM being a viable political party in the long term, and I think that all it will take is a major defection or two over to the CoI combined with more electoral losses to disestablish the FNM entirely.
I agree with your general point, but you are way off on Starlink. Starlink is both superior, and cheaper, than any service that I have ever received from BTC or Cable. BTC and Cable are effectively dead in the Family Islands when it comes to internet. I wish that Elon Musk would buy BPL, or better yet just buy the whole country; things might actually function as they should.
DeSantis is an idiot that spews foolishness like "judeo-christianity" or that "Western civilization was birthed in the Middle East" to appease his Zionist backers that fund him and every other US politician, but the people getting enraged about this comment are equally dumb and stupid considering the point he is trying to make is very straightforward.
Tolerance is an abstract concept, according to what principles are you going to be "tolerant"? Our leaders merely paying lip service to Christianity does not deny the fact the culture of this country is Christian based and the people here are not in support of the homosexual agenda being pushed in our land. The political issues of this country stem from the same foolish ideals, birthed from the Enlightenment, that kicked out the last competent rulers of this country in the name of "equality". Your foolish ideals are the exact reason that this country is turning into a shithole today but you lack the self awareness to see it.
