Vivek Ramaswamy’s final message before getting trounced Monday in the Iowa Caucus was a shot at transgender people.
The obnoxious businessman and 9/11 truther told his followers there are only two genders, while asking for their votes on a frigid night.
“There are two genders. And no, a man cannot become a woman,” he posted. “Iowa, I’m asking for your vote tonight.”
Politics, but make it gay!
Stay woke with our briefing while staying informed on all things LGBTQ+ entertainment, life, and more!
But as it turns out, neither men nor women supported Ramaswamy. The author of Woke Capitalism Against America pulled in just 8,449 votes, finishing a distant fourth behind Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley.
Ramaswamy spent nearly $17 million of his own money on his campaign, which averages out to roughly $2,012 per vote.
What a pathetic Hail Mary…
Was counting on the "cyborgs-who-find-him-funny-and hip" vote, but they couldn't be bothered to come out in the frigid weather. Plus, The Emmys were on.
— Steven Stajkowski (@Stajkowski11) January 16, 2024
Ramaswamy, a near-billionaire political novice, spent the bulk of his vanity run serving as a stand-in for Trump. With the front-runner refusing to participate in debates, Ramaswamy tried to represent the MAGA brand, taking potshots at all the other candidates.
During one debate, Haley simply called him “scum.”
Chris Christie, who exited the race last week, said Ramaswamy is the “most obnoxious blowhard in America.”
Stumped on making a coherent case for himself, Ramaswamy veered into conspiratorial territory. The entrepreneur talked about a “system” that would block Trump from the nomination and install Haley as a “puppet.”
Trump, and others, didn’t buy it. The disgraced ex-president blasted Ramaswamy right before the Iowa caucuses.
“Vivek started his campaign as a great supporter, ‘the best President in generations,’ etc. Unfortunately, now all he does is disguise his support in the form of deceitful campaign tricks,” Trump posted on his Truth Social platform. “Very sly, but a vote for Vivek is a vote for the ‘other side’ — don’t get duped by this. Vote for ‘TRUMP, don’t waste your vote! Vivek is not MAGA.”
Vivek, for his part, tucked his tail between his legs.
Despite Ramaswamy’s public statements, Trump’s salvo must’ve been a brutal wakeup call. The supposed anti-woke warrior spent months defending Trump at every turn, only to be used as rhetorical fodder.
Making matters worse, an Iowa Republican said Monday he couldn’t bring himself to vote for Ramaswamy…because his name reminds him of 9/11.
All of Vivek’s MAGA bootlicking ultimately amounted to nothing.
SAD!
(Not really)…
Like many GOP presidential hopefuls, Ramaswamy resorted to attacking LGBTQ+ people throughout the campaign. An ardent opponent of transgender rights, he frequently attacked gender-affirming care for minors.
Following his embarrassing finish, Ramaswamy suspended his campaign and endorsed Trump.
If you can’t beat them, join them, right?
Too bad Vivek’s MAGA application has already been rejected.

You are 100% correct. If all the conservatives dropped dead now, no one would miss them and people by and large, across all groups would see their lives markedly improve.
Just remember all the race riots that happened under Trump which was started by him as further proof of such. We haven’t had a single day nearly as close to the chaos and destruction the Trump admin put us thru during his first and hopefully only term in office.
Baron Wiseman
@ZzBomb

“Biden Administration’s Depletion of Oil Reserves Jeopardizes American Independence”
“The unprecedented and historic decision to release over 200 million barrels from the U.S. oil stockpile reduced SPR inventories to their lowest levels since 1984. Committee Republicans are concerned the Biden Administration abused the SPR for political gain—to lower skyrocketing gas prices before the 2022 midterm election—rather than for its intended purpose of mitigating severe energy supply interruptions or fulfilling obligations to the International Energy Agency (IEA)”

True and yet democrats have the most diverse group of representatives from age, gender, religion, and sexuality. And if I recall, Republican functions were banning Log Cabin Gays from attending events. Never saw Dems doing that. And Vivek’s anti gay tweet was directly aimed at you, a gay man. He thinks you were groomed into being gay. So Baron if you actually believe that, please come forward as to who turned you gay so Republicans can put a stop to it. Despite Trump calling Vivek a liar and looser, Vivek is still supporting him. I’m assuming you’re voting for Trump who ignited all this anti LGBTQ hate. You and Vivek are proof that republicans are bootlickers and abuse lovers. Yes America’s first but what does that mean? In your party it means targeting trans and gay ppl first instead of affordable insurance.

decrans
One way they are doing that is by working across the aisle with blue city Democratic mayors who initially welcomed immigrants, only to backpedal with conservative talking points when progressive buzzwords blew up in their respective faces. The GOP governors strategically set up that paradigm, too. Republicans have long made migration issues central to their messaging efforts, even passing a sweeping package, the H.R. 2 Secure the Border bill, that would limit asylum protections. Adding more enforcement for the U.S. border is another method the GOP has proposed. Republicans are hoping that Democrats will feel political pressure to accept some of their border proposals as illegal crossings topped a daily average of more than 8,000 last month.
Baron Wiseman
@dbmcvey
The House passed measure H.R. 2 in May with broad Republican support, but no backing from Democrats. The bill would effectively end access to asylum at the border. The bill, of course, faces steep Democratic opposition in the Democratic-led Senate.
H.R. 2 would:
1. The bill generally bars migrants from seeking U.S. asylum at the border.
2. The bill grants U.S. Homeland Security sweeping authority to suspend entry to migrants to maintain “operational control” of the border.
3. It mandates construction of at least 900 miles of border wall.
4. It would end new Biden “parole” programs that have allowed hundreds of thousands of migrants to enter legally, including Ukrainians and Afghans.
5. The bill would require families to be detained if a parent was charged with illegal entry.
Please get some new news sources. It really is pathetic you blather on and know nothing. I wish I knew half of what you think you know. I don’t why I bother. Pathetic.
H.R. 2 – look it up. Passed by Republicans, opposed by Democrats.
dbmcvey
Oh yeah, that terrible bill that has no chance of passing the Senate and would really work because it exists in a dreamworld where we can separate country from the rest of the world.
Again, Republicans don’t want to solve this problem.
Baron Wiseman
@dbmcvey
Why are changing the criteria? Got beat at your own pathetic game. You just don’t learn, do you?
First you said, “Republicans aren’t doing anything.” They have. “Republicans aren’t doing anything so they can run on the border.” Wrong again. “List three things that they want on the border.” I listed 5. I gave you Republican sponsored and passed House bill H.R. 2, which has about 30 provisions in it if you would bother to look it up. Now it’s, “I don’t like that bill.”
Perseverance. Just remember that. You are bound, one of these days, to win one of these arguments. Sadly, today, like every other day, is not that day. 🙁

Mike Johnson has said they will not negotiate on the border bill, because they don’t want to solve it. Dems would be all too willing to negotiate but Republicans can’t do that because their crazy base would go crazy that they’re actually working with Democrats.
You have nothing, both you and your sock puppet there are brainwashed into the MAGA cult.

Meanwhile, Kamala Harris said solves to the immigration issue are “at hand” for after the election on ABC’s The View today. Care to vague that up for me?

The problem is that very few voters really want either. Seems the DNC/RNC twins have us boxed in again. Even worse, both parties are against our voting. The DNC has the primaries fixed – just like how Russia did it (You can vote for anyone the party has chosen for you) and the Republicans are full=steam-ahead for a fascist dictator.
Every single swing state has Biden losing to the biggest loser and our loser refuses to step down… even when former President Obama is forecasting the biggest loss in American History. Our best hope is one is imprisoned, and our party actually enforces the 14th Amendment and the other suffers a medical situation that takes him out of the Running.
You may not like my BEST (Marianne Williamson), so let’s go with a GREAT candidate Dean Phillips. I’d rather win with the best; but, either will mop the floor with tRump or DeSantis or Haley. It’s well past time that we get to vote for a candidate not completely owned by corporations and Davos.
PS Phillips may have an edge with voters BECAUSE he has been disowned by the DNC. He does have a non-binary child… so he understands and supports this community. If we don’t switch gears now, we are statistically locked into an anti-gay bigot. If we’ve ever had a time to panic, THIS is the time.

Trump made history last night, in a record breaking 30 minutes, he was declared the winner with the largest margin of victory ever in a competitive Iowa caucus with 51% of the vote.
Until now, the person who won the Iowa Caucus by the largest margin was Bob Dole in 1988. He won by 13 points. Trump came within one vote of sweeping all 99 counties and had a 30 point lead over his nearest competitor. Trump won in a landslide among virtually every voting group and doubled his support in Iowa from his first presidential run in 2016.
Ahead of the Iowa Caucus, 68% of CNNs Iowa respondents believe Biden stole the 2020 election. A new left-wing ABC poll: only 28% of Americans believe Joe Biden has the mental sharpness to serve as president.
ZzBomb
He only got a whopping 51% out of 14% of the eligible voters of that state. That’s not good for a variety of reasons but as we’ve seen, you’re not the brightest burning bulb in the cult bunker.

• Get tough on crime
• Protect the unborn

• Parents decide for their kids
• Promote school choice
• Defend the U.S. Constitution
• Put America first
These ten bullet points are a great start. Democrats oppose all of these issues.

I didn’t ask what “positions” they have because, so what?
They have a lot of positions but no plans.
Also, MAGA politicians, by which I mean the whole Republican Party doesn’t want to actually solve the border, or really anything, because what else can they campaign off and raise money.
Baron Wiseman
@dbmcvey
“…the whole Republican Party doesn’t want to actually solve the border, or really anything, because what else can they campaign off and raise money.”
Really? Is that why House Speaker Johnson and 60 Republicans went to the border two weeks ago? Because they don’t want to solve it?
I’ll tell you how you don’t solve it; you have a president and a vice-president who have NEVER visited the border even though one of you has been designated “Border Czar.” Why would the president and vice-president want to solve it when they are counting on the 10+ million that have invaded our country to be future Democrats? Do you actually think Biden would let our country be invaded by millions of illegals if he thought they would vote Republican?

You know that when Trump passed those laws it didn’t really help what was going on at the border, no matter what Republicans pretend.
Also, this bill won’t pass the Senate. Once again, Republicans aren’t interested in solving this problem.
Republicans are great at coming up with lists of problems, but they have never actually solved them. They didn’t create a better healthcare plan than the ACA, they have never come up with a workable immigration policy other than “close the borders” which then plays havoc with the economy.
There entire platform is based on bigoted culture wars–but then you’re okay with that.

Health care continues to plague Americans. According to Kaiser Health, about half of U.S. adults say it is difficult to afford health care costs, and one in four say they or a family member in their household had problems paying for health care in the past 12 months.

What is your party doing to address those healthcare costs for the average American? I’ve heard crickets from the Biden administration.

Vivek might be a doddering simp for Trump. (Much like the Biden bootlickers on this site who get down on their hands and knees and start licking his neoliberal boots whereas Biden hasn’t so much as lifted a finger pushing back at “anti-trans legislation.) However, Vivek’s tweets speak to the cognitive dissonance amplified by the modern radical LGBTQ movement. On the one hand, they claim that the real self is something other than the physical body, in a new form of Gnostic dualism, yet at the same time they embrace a materialist philosophy in which only the material world exists. They say that gender is purely a social construct, while asserting that a person can be “trapped” in the wrong gender. This doesn’t make a damned bit of a sense to the vast majority of Americans. And yet, the radical gender anarchists want Americans to parrot this dogma similar to the religious right and their sky god.
Kangol2
Boosted by FoxNews, which gave him his jumpstart, Vivek spent months spewing MAGA nonsense, including hideously anti-Black racist and anti-LGBTQ claptrap, only to end up having his beloved Don the Con trash him at the ultimate hour AND for White Iowa Republicons to remind him that:
1) his “dark skin” made them think he was a
2) “Muslim” (he’s Hindu) and
3) somehow not American (Vivek was born in Cincinnati, Ohio!) and
4) somehow linked to 9/11 (he was a high school student at Catholic St. Xavier High School in Cincinnati when the 9/11 terrorists, most from Saudi Arabia, NONE from either Cincinnati or India, where Ramaswamy’s parents are from attacked the US).
The GQP’s racist karma came back to bite him in his narrow little @ss! I wish I could say he’d wake up–his wife seemed exasperated by the racist attitudes she encountered when asking why people weren’t supporting him–but he seems way too far gone. A sharp mind is a terrible thing to waste and, in his case, throw away for a cult leader!

How many people would wait HOURS in six inches of snow in 24 degree weather to attend a Biden rally? LOL!!!
Trump can have 50,000 attend a rally in a cornfield and Biden can’t get 500 people to attend in a major city.

Baron, do you ever stop wallowing in your own right-wing bullsh!t? You are so far up the ass of racists like Don the Con you’re tickling his lower intestines! And yes, Vivek spewed anti-Black racist and anti-LGBTQ bullcrap and White Iowans showed him exactly what they felt about him.
Reality check, for Baronin: “Vivek Ramaswamy campaign still facing voter questions on race and religion days before Iowa,” NBC News, Nnamdi Egwuonwu, January 12, 2024:
“FORT MADISON, Iowa — Apoorva Ramaswamy had a simple ask for two supporters of her husband’s presidential campaign: “What do people say” about why they’re not supporting Vivek Ramaswamy, and “what answers can I help you provide?”
“Well, the only one I have and I couldn’t even remember who said it to me, but they mentioned his dark skin and they think he’s Muslim,” a supporter named Theresa Fowler told her at a restaurant meet-and-greet Thursday. “I kind of set them straight on that. I don’t know if they believe me or think I was covering for him, I don’t know.”
AND
“But the interaction foreshadowed comments Apoorva Ramaswamy, a physician, faced throughout the day as she held events in a final push by the Ramaswamy campaign to meet prospective caucusgoers in the last days leading up to the Iowa caucuses. The questions made clear that despite holding nearly 300 events in the state, more than any other presidential campaign, a number of Iowa Republicans still have questions about the Ramaswamys’ faith, nationality and race, though he has addressed all of those factors of his personal life repeatedly during the campaign. Nikki Haley, who is also Indian American, has also faced some similar questions during the 2024 race.
AND
“In an interview after the event, Fowler expanded on the concerns she hears from members of her own family regarding Ramaswamy.
“They think he’s Muslim, so it’s his nationality more than anything,” she said. “It’s just that they can’t get beyond when you look at someone and, you know … I’m working on them,” Fowler said.”
Of course there’s more but hey, Baronin’s bleating about “thousands of people” in New Hampshire, etc. Hell, even the turnout in Iowa was DOWN. But you keep your con worship in fifth gear. There’s always one!

People waited in the blistering heat to vote even though Republicans made it illegal to give them water. People have waited in the snow for many other things.
Also, the caucus had a record low turnout. It was under 15% of the population. Please don’t act like they were pioneers crossing the plains.

Also, the caucuses take place indoors. Haven’t you ever watched one on tv?

Try and pay attention. One generally waits outside for a political rally to begin; not inside.

@Kangol2
And yet the “brown” Vivek Ramaswamy did better and received more votes than the very white Asa Hutchinson. Egads!
Those racist bastards!!!
dbmcvey
Baron, no, you pay attention. They were so poorly attended they could have waited in their cars till the doors opened. There was no fear of them not getting in.
Don’t treat these people like the ones who ACTUALLY waiting in lines because Republicans closed all the polling places in an effort to suppress the votes.
dbmcvey
But, Baron, they all received far fewer votes than the very, very white DeSantis and very, very orange Trump. Egads!

CBS News reports Johnson County Iowa Caucus precinct “ran out” of party-switch forms after Democrats overwhelmed precinct to vote as “Republicans” for Nikki Haley, causing Haley to win by ONE vote.
Leave the voter shenanigans to the Democrats. Shocking!!! (said no one)

It’s always been legal to switch parties for the Iowa caucus. The only shenanigans here might be not having enough party-switch forms.
It’s also always been legal for registered independents to vote in a party primary in New Hampshire.

Baron, why are you upset over this? The Democrats were voting for the person Republicans are trying to pretend is normal. They were trying to save your increasingly insane party.

How does anyone think that MIC/McKinsey’s own neoliberal identity politician, Buttigieg, was able to “break thru” and shift the spotlight away from the most popular candidate in history? Davos prefers Harvard/Oxford indoctrinated neoliberals
We need to think like former President Obama and shift gears into a politician whose negatives aren’t mopping the floor of historic lows – even worse than heir tRump. Either Williamson or Phillips or we’ll see the DNC/RNC feed us to Wallstreet.

Increasingly insane party? No. The gop is already insane. Filled with sociopaths /psychopaths ,grifters , con artists , crooks and ANTI-AMERICAN frauds. Among others.
