2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.

[Pancho 44686]

So far, the media is asking turnip surrogates about biden’s remark then they follow up with turnip saying America is a garbage can.

Now the Virginia news about turnip and his team (Supreme Court) suppressing votes 6 days before the election, that is what’s being talked about

Yeah, I know, they can't win without MAGA, but if they aren't winning with MAGA, then either the country club Republicans join the Democrats and try to get some power for themselves, or they take control of the RNC by swaying a large enough chunk of the 168 voters to boot Lara out, or they take their ball and start a new party. They ain't going to sit on their asses for another four years while Trump drools on himself and anoints Donald Jr. as his successor, all the while RNC coffers continue to empty into Trump bank vaults.

The bolded is EXACTLY what they are going to do, because 1) it is actually the best play they have available, and 2) they are gutless cowards, so they were going to pick that play regardless of whether it was the best play.

There is only one viable strategy for the GQP to get past Trumpism.....wait for Dotard to die.  Dotard will anoint Don Jr., but he doesn't have anywhere close to the juju that daddy has, and he can easily be bought off.  The GQP actually CAN co-opt and control Don Jr., because he's an easily manipulated moron with a very low ceiling.  That's the play.

This is the essence of the GQP.  This is where they have brought us.  They are a terrorist movement, and should be treated as such.  I hope that every one of those rifles is zeroed in, and the shooters have boxes of extra ammo on hand.  Nothing will change until the Republic starts dropping GQP terrorists in their tracks.

He should have been shot on sight.  He's a terrorist.  If he'd had on a turban and been yelling Allahu Akbar, he would have been shot right there.  START TREATING TERRORISTS LIKE TERRORISTS.

I would have thought that Trump supporters, like a decade ago, lost all rights to any kind of "Can you believe what he said??" outrage. I thought words and actions didn't matter anymore.

Everyone here knows that Trump and Republicans can say and do whatever they want.  "We should shoot all mexicans on sight."  Wouldn't even make the papers.  A Democrat says "maybe Trump voters support some bad things," and it's the scandal of the century.  The double-standard is insane, and the legacy media should burn to the fucking ground for creating it and indulging in it.

I'm not getting this reaction at all.  Hopefully you're saying shut the fuck up because you're in a shitty mood, and not shut the fuck up because people are disappointed in the "own goal".  Because it is an own goal.  Because double standard doesn't even come close to capturing how Dems are looked at vs. Republicans. 

A dem stutter or stammer is 1000 times worse than a republican racist remark.  You know that.  We all know.  And the remaining "undecided voters" aren't the brightest bulbs.

Who's mind did Biden change with this? Also, did you know Joe Biden isn't running for re-election?

I wonder how many PR folks in PA fucking cheered?

Hmmm

If the POTUS is doing his job, there are loyal senior officers around Flynn who have orders to take action against him when it becomes necessary.

And it WILL become necessary.  He was involved in Jan 6th non-response (they tried to lie and say he wasn't....he was there in the fucking room when calls were being made about support).  He's a traitor, and if he lifts a finger against the Republic, should be shot immediately for waging war against the United States.

Gender gap hopium in early voting across the swing states extends to more than just GA.

Quote

In Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Georgia, there is at least a 10-point gap between men and women in the early vote, according to POLITICO’s analysis and data from the University of Florida’s United States Election Project. Similar gender data is not available for other battlegrounds, including Arizona, Wisconsin and Nevada.

It's an absurd ruling, faithless to the law. But it covers a tiny amount of voters - 1,600. The state also allows same day voting so it can be cured.

Perhaps it's a signal of things to come. Perhaps it's the 6 traitors on the Court throwing him a bone.

That's a good point. Trump said during the debate that we would be hearing the details of his healthcare plan "very soon". Well the election is in six days. He'd better hurry up, or the media will castrate him for that.

They are left with defending the very fucking clearly unpopular choice to ban abortion and make women sex slaves and their entire offense has been a fucking own goal on immigration because it's well known Trump fucked it and reiterated by everyone including Republicans that he fucked it and trans hate. 

Its the worst and weakest campaign in the history of modern politics. 

Kamala has run the strongest 100 day campaign in modern politics except term 1 Obama and even that is up for debate. 

 

She didnt entirely remove the 2nd amendment issue with voters, becuase a fuck ton of voters flat out don't believe her. They're coming for their guns anyway, in their heads. They also believe she's a communist when they can't even define communism.

It's an insane ruling; it won't have a notable impact on its own but it's absolutely an indicator that the GOP will be allowed to engage in any and all ratfuckery, and that the court will gladly put a thumb on the scale for them.

I'll cross post using data from NBC.  It's combined vote count of EV and mail ins.  The site has gender breakouts.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-elections/early-vote

GA is at about 65% of their 2020 total.  (Granted, the state has grown since then.) -- 57% women

PA is about 22% of their 2020 total -- 56% women

MI is 38% of their total  -- 56% women

Keep in mind that all of these people we've seen oversample men for some reason.  (I have no idea why.)

I still find the uproar over 2A absurd.

- Joe Biden didn't take your guns.

- Barack Obama didn't take your guns.

- Bill Clinton took a small subset of your guns and that policy expired.
