2024 Presidential Election Thread

10 minutes in. Not surprisingly Walz is way smarter than Kamala. Forcing a woman just to do it is a joke. 

Vance also a way better debater than Trump

Yeah, definitely. 

And as far as likeability, politics aside, I think Walz and Vance are way more likeable than Kamala and Trump. Imagine that!

Dems and never Trumpers having big mads after this debate, like this guy:

I didn’t watch a ton of it, but the little I did watch was a breath of fresh air. That’s what politics used to be and should be.  The quicker we can move on from Donald Trump, the better.

The ones in their offices haven't done jack shit for 4 years, except destroy just about everything. 

Best

Sorry your life has been so rough. Kind of makes me feel bad that mine's been great. Wishing you well in the future.

Opinion piece but she's not wrong...

Not a high bar to clear. Of the presidential candidates, one is a babbling geriatric who struggles to maintain focus while rambling inanely in what's usually a self-serving manner. The other was generated from the Hillary Clinton Factory for Robots that Almost (But Not Quite) Can Pass for Humans.

Being able to actually pass for a real person who might actually care about real people is a breath of fresh air compared to those two. I just wish something like that was more the default instead of something that makes one think "Whoa! This is so different!"

The political money behind the Republicans are trying to get my father in laws law partner to run for JD Vance’s seat if Trump wins. I don’t see him taking it because he likes to be more behind the scenes. I know they have promised him the Moreno election team. He turned down big positions under Trump in his administration and I think he will turn this down as well.

Appreciate the joy vibe.

I think that in that quote what she is actually doing is blurring the lines between equality and equity. I don't think she's doing it out of malice or villainy. I think she's doing it because, to her, they are the same thing. 

I just wish we (society) would stop using financial terms like "equity" in reference to black people. That should be very bothersome to everybody.

Yikes!

It doesn't matter who supports you if you can import millions of votes a year.

Yep, and potentially flood areas with them that have been historically red.

Well, there is some pushback and anger that is starting in the bigger cities. People are getting angry when their local recreation buildings/centers are being taken away from them to be used for illegal immigrants housing. 

There is also growing pushback in these same cities about not taking care of the homeless but taking care of the illegal immigrants. People think that that's wrong. In California, for example, Newsome had all the homeless camps in SF tore down but gave those people nowhere to go. The gall about it is that SF is a sanctuary city that is housing and feeding illegal immigrants. 

It's a growing problem both financially and politically and I don't know what can be done now at this point to fix it, because the politicians don't want to reverse course. 

What demographic is Kamala doing better than Biden did in 2020? 

It seems she is doing worse with union workers, African Americans, and people age 18-29. These are all usually a big part of the democrat base. I know the polls have it close but she seems to be doing worse in every demographic and that election was really close.

This might not be the case for some states. The Dems have screwed the pooch with the Muslim voting block in many of the states with districts of high Muslim population. Then there are activists groups like Uncommitted who really want to vote D but aren't so sure now.

Right now I think Michigan will go blue, but that can easily change as long as the US continues to pay/support Israel's war.

So I've pointed out a couple of times before, with links and video, about how Kamala is pro censorship. The last vid showed how she tried to get Elizabeth Warren to agree with her that our govt should censor Trump.

Well in this vid she is talking to the NAACP about how she wants to unleash the DOJ upon social media to censor, among other things, disinformation and misinformation. Skip right to 23 minutes:

The new age Dems are well immersed into this idea of controlling the citizens of this country. They want to disarm us. They want to control ideas and vocalizations of dissent by labeling it as disinformation/misinformation. When in fact, the govt has been the biggest peddlers of disinformation and misinformation. 

They parrot the religious mantra that Trump is a threat to democracy when in fact they are just as bad.

"Every accusation is a confession."

The media in these larger cities is a joke. Washington & NYC newspapers top headlines are "Trump did this (bad), Trump did that", meanwhile totally brushing under the carpet the clusterf#ck way they are handling the situation in NC, SC, TN & GA from the hurricane.
