Politics Official 2024 Presidential Election Thread

Democratic Party needs to do some soul searching.

The uneducated laborer used to be the stable of their base. A large majority of them are now Republican.

I personally think it has more to do with the culture war garbage than anything else.

 

In PA, the ad I saw or heard most was about Harris and our U.S. Senator letting "men play girls' sports" and taking scholarships from our girls, or Harris using tax dollars for criminal inmates to receive gender affirming care.

I've got to be honest, I can't believe there are many cases of either of these. I know there aren't any men playing girls' sports ... there probably aren't even that many transitioning girls playing girls' sports.

For that to be the big ad leading into the presidential election says a lot, to me, about what the Republicans thought would resonate with Americans, and it looks like they were right.

Anyway, I've taken up enough of everyone's bandwidth on this topic. Like someone else said, I'm done with OT boards and news and politics. I need to think of my own health and this stuff just doesn't make me feel good about life and the world. So maybe I'll see some of you in the game threads, maybe not, just see how it goes.

 

Stay classy Scott.

 

Sorry to pour salt in your wounds. But there's projected to be a 20 point swing in electoral votes from Democrat strongholds to Republican in 2030. The 2032 election will basically be like spotting the Republicans a state like Pennsylvania.

 

I saw that earlier today. Definitely odd. If someone has a logical explanation for how Biden got so many more votes than Obama, Hillary and Harris, I'm all ears.

 

I think that is wonderful. Rather than deport our illegal immigrants, we should just ship them all to Massachusetts. Lefties love illegal immigrants! Just look at how they took them in at Martha's Vinyard (well, for 24 hours anyway, before they shipped them out of town).

NIMBY!

Some of us have morals. It's not about letting Trump win. It's about not voting for a genocide enabler. You can be upset all you want but most of the country felt the same.

 

I'm glad. But the folks saying Biden isn't too old. Let him run. He'll beat Trump all the while the party was hiding his cognitive decline deserve the blame. All the people who looked the other way and said yeah they're enabling the murder of thousands but, but, Trump is the real danger. All of that nonsense is MAGA on the left.

 

Folks were treating me like the bad guy here when I was ringing alarm bells. But so many of you thought you knew better. I take no glee in saying this, but maybe the country and the Democratic party needed a huge punch in the mouth. They certainly deserve it.

 

Are We Cooked? Have Revolutionary Optimism

 

Im going to have to agree with you on this.

 

About which parts specifically? What potential gains do you think electing Trump will produce for you?

 

Fuck Trump, I just think the DNC helped Trump win twice by anointing one particular candidate and in 2016 circumveting Bernie who would have beaten Trump, imo.

 

So this is Bernie Bro revenge?

 

You didn't vote for Trump then, did you? Considering he's literally implored Israel to "finish what they started" with Palestine...
