Politics Official 2024 Presidential Election Thread

Trump's worshippers aren't quite 50% of American voters.

 

BREAKING NEWS: Victoria Nuland was on Maddow and just said that, get this, RUSSIA is interfering in the election!

Still waiting on the sources, evidence or anything whatsoever to back up this claim because she forgot to include any of that, but this is huge!

 

You thought it had all the media talking because it hit close to home for you.

BTW, Trump's never gotten 50% of American voters, so stop thinking half the country thinks like you. They don't. It's more like a third, which still is bad, and then another 15% just vote the party into which they were indoctrinated.

Its impact is negligible, though. And it took a couple of hours to defuse Biden's gaffe, because it took minutes to find where Trump said the same about Democrats at a Wisconsin rally last month, and for a bunch of anti-Trumpers to basically say when you call people garbage, don't get butthurt for getting called garbage back.

Trump then did the rest for himself by riding around in Garbage Truck One, missing a doorhandle and then performing the coup de grace by telling women he's going to take care of them "whether you like it or not."

The media's started to wise up to this bothsiderism. They reported what Biden did, but they didn't give it more oxygen than it needed. Biden's words aren't going to make undecided voters vote for Trump, nor is is going to allow Trump cultists who already were voting or going to vote for Trump to vote again. A lot more people hate Trump than love him, and saying his biggest devotees are garbage because they are being racists -- which, BTW, was the context of his comment because of something YOUR SIDE said -- isn't making someone weighing policy or character vote for him. Last I checked, Biden's a lame duck ... guy isn't on the ballot.

 

Did you think they weren't?

 

It's pretty simple.

The Republicans are counting on a certain type or combination of a certain type of voter or voting action.

1. They need Democrats not to turn out.

2. They need low-information people who don't typically vote to decide to come to the polls and cast a ballot their way.

3. They need people who vote solely with their wallet and don't understand the pandemic and Trump's handling of it put us in the bad inflation situation, and Biden actually did a great job with the recovery compared to the rest of the world.

4. Effectively suppressing the vote in left-leaning areas.

 

The most frightening thing is, i think you actually might be serious with these schizophrenic claims where you think posters on an obscure fan forum for the least popular NBA team in the basement of the internet are payed influencers for the Kremlin.

Well, you’re right. We’re really going for that reach of a broad audience. You gotta cast a wide net in this propaganda game.

After a solid ten years spent infiltrating the Portland Trailblazers fan forum OT section i’ll be ready to sleuth the inner workings of the Pentagon.

 

Im aware of that and they do still have a following in your state amongst devout republicans. Just not enough of them anymore.

 

Biden isn’t running and Trump calls Democrats garbage and scum all the time.

But it’s not newsworthy because the bar is so low for him.

 

Ten years? So you came on here when Trump started his political run?

 

Understatement of the year

 

All that happened is when Trump made a big deal about it, people went back and started posting video of him doing the same thing multiple times.

Regardless, it's not impacting the votes. No one that hasn't voted and is unattached to Trump already is saying today "Biden called Trump's people garbage for calling Americans garbage. That makes me angry enough to vote for Trump."

 

You are right it wont swing anyone, but it does fire up the base to get more of them to the polls. It is all about voter turn out

 

And storm the capital again.

 

He didn’t have it in him to even serve his country….. I doubt it.

 

I’m ready for the election to be over.
