2024 Presidential Election Thread

Saw some clown talking about 31k mail in votes that weren't counted, or something, in Wisconsin with he guy saying "hold your horses." Apparently he doesn't know math because even if that state got overturned, she still got curb stomped.

Reddit is the absolute worst and it’s not even close. I’m apart of the Facepalm and Wellthatsucks subreddits and it’s just endless posts about how fucked we are. 

Reddit is awesome.  I love it for sports, history, music, fitness, etc.  The stuff you’re talking about doesn’t just come your way, you have to seek it out.  If that’s your thing, more power to you.  But I have no idea why someone go to that stuff.

I like Reddit too and don’t go searching out what would frustrate me. But those subreddits I mentioned are typically entertaining and rarely get political. But today it’s been endless posts of the electoral map with the subject line like “what have we done!” 

Even the Ohio subreddit is everyone being depressed.

Sounds like a bad time even if there wasn’t an election yesterday. 

Why are you on the suicide subreddit. Do you want to talk about your feelings?

People were sharing screenshots on Twitter, I had to go see the carnage.

I don’t go on Reddit much, share some screen shots.

Just saw where DC voted for Kamala 256k to 19k… never becoming a state.

He ended up being solid. Still hilarious they tried calling him weird while rolling out Walz. Him vs. Newsome/Shapiro in the future would be interesting.

The Democrat party needs to go with Shapiro and people like him if they keep giving people like Newsome control they will continue to struggle

The Columbus and Ohio subreddit are ran by democrats in fact I would venture to say 90% of the moderators on subreddits especially the big one are all democrats. The last month the front page would always have 2-3 ridiculous Trump stories.

A couple of unrelated things.

1. Anyone who has participated in the election process knows that significant cheating is all but impossible.

2. Someone on one of the Sunday morning shows (wish I remember who) suggested that we would be better served basing our votes on the relative integrity of the candidates rather than issues, even important ones. I tend to agree.

In California they are not even allowed to ask for IDs so I do think people cheat

My Dems are now going off on FB….just attacking Trumps character 

Their party leaders ran a shitty ass campaign and it showed in every way. Quit pinning half the country with terrible morals

New TikTok trend is the women “4B” movement. Basically shaving their heads, being abstinent so men “suffer”….

Are they really that dumb? So abstinence, no abortions…yeah, that will really show those conservatives….

I mean.. I don't think he's entirely right. The Republicans (even/especially Trump) are far from pro union/working class supporters. Dems haven't left that. They have let a more vocal minority hijack the message which is obviously their fault. So I think they've left a lot of that base feel disenfranchised and you obviously see that in midwest voting.  Now why that base has clung to Trump makes no sense to me. Other than the disenfranchised sympathizes with him. Trump is anti-union. He says that out loud. His policy is very much more geared to trickle down. It just further proves policy doesn't matter to most people.. they just hear that as an excuse and use it.

There's a really tough task.

Heard a compilation of the Beta Bitches & Soy Boys crying that the "world was coming to and end" and how "white people voted for hate and hate women." Was comedy gold. You really have to be an insecure, while narcissistic, asshole to take the time to post a selfie video of yourself crying on the internet. 

I listened to a portion of the Pod Save America podcast, the former Obama guys that liberals and progressives love. I used to listen to it early in the Trump days, but I was getting too annoyed by them, so stopped some years ago. 

They still can't wrap their heads around people voted for Trump thinking he can fix the economy. 

Trump winning the popular vote has broken their brains. 

Reading the post election tell all articles now, it is evident just how bad Harris was as a candidate and a campaign.

One Post article had the headline the Democrats were baffled at how the economy was the #1 issue

Credit to a lot of posters on here who said Harris was terrible from the start.

When she ran for POTUS previously, or was at least trying to be the nominee to run, she got no support in Iowa. She's also been called "the worst VP in the history of the US." She's also not that likeable of a person. Why the Dems thought THAT was the answer, and were baffled she didn't win, is even more glaring to their arrogance and blindness to their own party. 

They really didn't think the economy was an issue and neglected their previous "bread & butter", the middle class, in favor of hammering the abortion narrative when only 10% of those exit polled said abortion was their biggest concern. It also didn't help that she was an uber radical candidate which turned off a lot of people.

1.  Basically everyone not completely beholden by the left knew she was a terrible candidate. That wasn't just a few smart people on Ohio Chatter.

2. The democrats not knowing that the economy would be the #1 issue is insane. They lost based on not having economic issues to discuss and only hammering on "Orange man bad" and "Abortion!!!!!!"
