Merged 2024 Election Thread

[Sherkeu]

Sounds good to me. How long before the red-pilled moron owner of that site starts commenting his usual drivel in response?

Kamala is the preferred choice of any person who wants Trump to win. Best to mostly leave her alone so she isn't challenged before being officially top of ballot.
Kamalas biggest enemies are calling from inside the house.

Biden is so bad he beat Trump in 2020.

 

[Andy_Ross]

Biden timed it perfectly. Waited until the RNC was over They just wasted one of the biggest weeks of their campaign on a man who trump won’t even be running against anymore.

1. A violent protest is not a threat to Democracy. If you believe it is, please review the protests outside the White House during Trump's Presidency. Regarding the most popular President in US History, Mr 81 million votes Biden, has now stepped down as the Democrat party candidate for fear of losing the election to Trump. I rest my case about the 2020 election results.

The 6th January protests were directed at the whole of Congress. They had gallows out for the VP. They were a part of the larger plan to derail the peaceful transfer of power. The violent ones in jail are being treated as heroes.

Do you believe Biden received 81 million votes in 2020?

I'm just going with the evidence.

So, we are forced to spend time and money on fighting Crooked Joe Biden, he polls badly after having a terrible debate, and quits the race. Now we have to start all over again. Shouldn't the Republican Party be reimbursed for fraud in that everybody around Joe, including his doctors and the Fake News Media, knew he was not capable of running for, or being, President? Just askin'?

Hmm? Trump does communicate, though? He sent that threatening letter to Turkey, for example. Threatened to destroy their economy if they stepped out of line. It got mocked, then, well... they did and he didn't even remotely, of course. The Kurds still suffer because of the many ways that Trump betrayed them to those who sought to commit genocide against them.

Trump also spoke to world leaders en masse! And got ridiculed for his braggadocio.

Trump spoke to Putin a bunch! That he may have acted a bit like a punished dog at Helsinki after one of those conversations and didn't seem much better a lot of the rest of the time is just part of that, right?

Trump also does listen to people sometimes! Sometimes even for the better! Thankfully, or, for example, we'd likely have invaded Venezuela.

He doesn't listen to people as such. Like all psychopaths he is searching for what he can exploit. He's not looking for information. As a narcissist he is a sucker for those who would exploit him.

 

[Andy_Ross]

I wonder if the GOP will put pressure on Trump to step down now?

Trump will not take advice and this might do him in. He was surely told not to put out rubbish like this; to act with dignity and even to pay a little bit of tribute to Biden. This is something a jilted teenager would write.

A beautiful example of his post-assassination-attempt pivot to a more gracious, serene, even-tempered leader for all the people. If it were the old Trump, that message would’ve been all caps.

Although the "STUPIDEST WHATABOUTISM EVER" contest continues to accept entries, it is not too early to congratulate ChrisBFRPKY for this outstanding effort:

2. Both candidates are immoral. Both have had women accuse them of sexual misconduct without evidence. Only one has actively worked to subvert Democracy and is continuing to do so even as he's been shown the door. If you'll look at actual policy and policy proposals, you'll find it's simply not Trump.

 

[Delvo]

Now Trump's posted that, because Biden's out, the next debate should be moved from ABC to Fox.

He didn't spell out how he wants us to think that cause-effect chain works.

 

[Tero]

Where are the conspiracy theories? That this was the plan along. Kamala as candidate to "derail the Trump campaign."

 

[Sherkeu]

Although the "STUPIDEST WHATABOUTISM EVER" contest continues to accept entries, it is not too early to congratulate ChrisBFRPKY for this outstanding effort:

Nope.
Democrats failed to provide a primary. Covered up the condition of the president. Lied about what people reported honestly (Eg. Hur report). For years. Then went after the opponent with novel legal claims and changed laws temporarily to do so in some cases.
These are not honest actors by any stretch in an already dishonest profession.
Reap and sow..and now the Democrat candidate will lose.

 

[marting]

Hey, Harris will get to count the electoral college votes. And Trump has already asserted she would have the ability to decide what to count.

We already have yet another entry in the "STUPIDEST WHATABOUTISM EVER" contest!

ChrisBFRPKY's submission was superior, in my opinion, because he did such a great job of reminding us that only one of the candidates has committed sexual misconduct as adjudicated by a court of law, and of reminding us that same candidate is the only one who has "actively worked to subvert Democracy and is continuing to do so even as he's been shown the door."

Sherkeu's submission has little going for it beyond its first word, in which the submission effectively denies the facts stated in my paragraph immediately above. Instead of supporting that "Nope" with evidence of any kind, even whataboutism, Sherkeu continues with material that would be lame even by the low standards of our ongoing "LOOK!!! A SQUIRREL!" contest.

ETA:

So long as I'm editing this to add exclamation points, I might as well explain why Sherkeu's entry was so lame. Sherkeu's words are in italics.

Nope.​

With that one word, Sherkeu is trying to deny several undeniable facts: (1) a court of law has found Trump to be liable for sexual misconduct; (2) Trump has "actively worked to subvert Democracy and is continuing to do so" by instigating the riot of 6 January 2021, continuing to refer to the rioters as patriots, and continuing to claim the election was stolen from him.

Democrats failed to provide a primary.​

That, of course, is a straightforward and obvious lie. Primaries were held. All but one of those primaries were won by Joe Biden. Having collected almost all of the pledged delegates, Biden decided to drop out of the race, thereby freeing his delegates to vote for the nominee(s) of their choice.

Covered up the condition of the president.​

That sentence is not false, but it fails to support the "Nope."

Lied about what people reported honestly (Eg. Hur report). For years.​

The Hur report was released less than six months ago, about a month before Biden's State of the Union address. Biden has always been a gaffe machine who struggles to speak what he's trying to say, and his public performances before the debate were consistent with adding the normal effects of aging to the person he has always been. Even Hur suggested Biden gave the impression of being "elderly". Before the debate, very few Democrats would have been in a position to diagnose Biden's decline as disqualifying.

Then went after the opponent with novel legal claims and changed laws temporarily to do so in some cases.​

We live in an age when novel legal claims are routinely upheld by courts, and in some cases invented by courts. The most egregious examples have been seen in Amarillo, the Fifth Circuit, and at the Supreme Court. Those most egregious examples were pushed by Republicans, not by Democrats.

These are not honest actors by any stretch in an already dishonest profession.​

Trump's dishonesty is unprecedented. To pretend Trump's degree of dishonesty is typical of all politicians is itself dishonest.

Reap and sow..and now the Democrat candidate will lose.​

There is an excellent chance that the Democratic candidate, whomever that might turn out to be, will lose. Sherkeu is free to desire that outcome, but Sherkeu's desire for that outcome is not evidence for Sherkeu's claims.

Ah, a major effort to distance Biden's economy away from his poor energy policies. An effort to label Biden's inflation as Trump's and an effort to equate increases in cost of living as being offset by wage increases. The only problems with those statements are that they're 100% Democrat BS talking points that have been proven to misrepresent reality. The fun part is, I think you're actually sharp enough to know this.

I think you're also sharp enough to realize that Biden's war on oil during the beginning of his term was a major factor in record high inflation. Biden realized it, that's why he made his tour to the oil rich Nations on his knees begging them to increase production to lower oil costs. That and printing money to give away for Foreign wars added to the tally of record high inflation as well.

The President of the US does not beg, he sets the price by turning on the faucet. You increase energy production at home and drive down the price with that increased production. It is those leaders of oil rich Nations that come with their hat in their hand, not the other way around.

You are right in that our Country needs more than just energy production to flourish. It also needs negotiation of Trade to ensure the US worker has a fair shot in the market. Please feel free to name one Trade policy Biden has negotiated or accomplished. You can't, because he hasn't. Why is that? The Trump era trade tariffs with China are still in place. Hello, I thought this was bad for consumers? Why hasn't Biden done anything with those tariffs? I'll give you a hint, it's because those tariffs bring in too much money to be removed and they do little harm to US consumers regarding purchase of Chinese products. If they raise the price of a toaster, we'll simply shop around and choose another brand or do without. It's not as if China supplies the necessities of life, it would be more accurately described as necessities of convenience.

Wut???

Biden’s oil boom

U.S. oil production, meanwhile, has also hit record highs under Biden, continuing to outpace rivals Saudi Arabia and Russia. The U.S. also produces more natural gas than ever, pulling record volumes from wells that spread from Texas to Pennsylvania. As a result, American ports are sending record volumes of both abroad, including to allies in Europe who are weaning themselves off Russia for energy supplies.

Bad court outcomes are a big weapon. Election results will tell the story in the end,despite ballot harvesting, which is rampant in my district. This race is Trumps to lose. If he just restrains the rhetoric, he wins by a mile.
I'm sure everyone here knows that, right?

Take an unemotional look, at the facts of the race "unburdened by what has been". Lol

Kamala Harris Tweeted

I prosecuted sex predators. Trump is one.
I shut down for-profit scam colleges. He ran one.
I held big banks accountable. He's owned by them.

I'm not just prepared to take on Trump, I'm prepared to beat him.

https://x.com/KamalaHarris/status/1197243216132804608

That's perfect.

She's already showing her smarts, and I think she's going to have a huge impact on two really important groups that Biden turned off - youth and women.

I hope the Democrats get behind her 100% and ensure she beats Trump to become your first woman president - there's no reason she can't win, and every reason she should win.

Harris 2024!
