2024 Presidential Election Thread

This would be an insult to women.  I know the dems want to put that notch in their belt to further their identity politics but they will not go there.  Plus the 25th on a lame duck raises too many questions why not before?  Besides they are busy working on the new narrative.

The Dems don't have a new narrative. They are already enacting full-on Trump Resistance!

They don't have any economic policy, or Kamala would have won. Kamala's best policy was to lure people, who couldn't yet afford to buy a house, into buying a house with "up to 25%" tax break incentive. And what would have happened to those people the first time they got their property taxes assessed? They would have been fucked. 

This election also showed that abortion like many suggested can be divorced from federal politics and should be a state issue.  Initiatives favorable to abortion passed or were heavily favored in several states that went easily to Trump.

This policy only applied to people who parents didn’t own a house eother

Another question I have is this. I keep seeing all these reports of reliably blue counties in blue states that had moved to the right in this election. They are still blue, but much less so. Is this a one off thing due to the circumstances of this election or is there a chance that it's going to be a trend?

As much as I'd hope it's a trend, I think this election was a backlash of sorts.  NY was closer to red than Texas was to blue.  I wouldn't expect that going forward.

This site should be renamed Polymath Chatter.

Here comes the violence even though they are gracious conceders

So I'm watching Pod Save America for the first time, filmed the day after the election.

I'm going to be very sexist with this.

But grown ass men shouldn't be so sick cow sad over a fuckin election. Leave that shit on The View!

I was talking about the presidential candidates - for the third time.

As for this March, will it be proceeding down to Washington where the marchers will smash their way into the Capitol?

Considering how you’ve beaten that dead horse for months - and in no way intending it as a joke - no it doesn’t.

Yes, because reading minds through a forum is your super power.

If that makes you feel better, sure.

Sorry actual election history is not on your side here.

Gore, Hillary, etc all fought and even invented collusion hoaxes.

For the 3rd time both Gore and Hillary fought and/or denied election results.  Stop being so dense and just admit both sides are assholes at times when they lose close ones.

I wasn’t speaking towards you. My FB Dems just keep saying how gracious and behaved they are all being.

Should we start a J6 Referral thread?

No.  But eventually working class neighborhoods will be burned and looted.  Loons will stand in the street and block them from going to work.  You know how it goes.  But those bastards that got out of hand at the seat of power.

Was talking about Harris and Trump.  Nothing more.

Right. As if months of rioting, double digit deaths, and $500m of damage wasn’t worse. I hope Trump pardons a bunch of them (non-violent).

I hope that doesn’t happen.

Good lord you are insufferable. 

For the 4th time this election wasn’t even close, if it was they probably would have bought, just like every close election where either side lost since at least 2000.

Not that hard to follow logic and reason you should try it once.

Your logic’s got nothing to do with it.

At least I am using logic. You have moved the goalposts a few times just to be contrarian.
