Early elections predictions

Who will win US presidential elections of 2024 ?

  • Total voters
    82
Hopefully Trump wins again. I have been chasing that high of leftist anguish for 8 years. I could really really use another hit.
 
To put it into terms lefties would understand, it's like enjoying seeing the blonde, blue eyed, square jawed jock guy in an 80s movie end up with a bucket of pig slop dropping on his head as the underdog nerds win.

Its deserved anguish. It's people who've been seeking to destroy numerous societies, break bonds between men and women, bonds between old and young, and overturn all natural order and tradition - getting a rare and much deserved setback.

It's white supremacy.

Yes, this. I too have been saying that for weeks.
Plus I predict the dems take the house by a wide margin, add to their senate majority, pick up state houses and make gains in Texas and Florida.

We may even know the winner on election night.

At least you were right about the yellow part. :)

obviously i'd argue that trump the billionaire isn't the underdog nerd here. it's more like the rich ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ guy you're supposed to hate in the movie just drops slop on the underdog nerd and the movie ends. which is actually a lot more reflective of real life but not a particularly entertaining or satisfying story.

i mean, i would argue that, but your second statement is way more out there to me than the first. i personally had too much optimism that there wasn't that many people that saw the world that way out there, but you guys are all over the place, too many. it makes me feel sad, but i've been resigned to the fact that the world isn't a nice place for as long as i can remember anyway.

I'm consistently wrong enough that it feels like jinxing it to say out loud, but I'm optimistic about this election. Not even guardedly so - genuinely optimistic.

I saw the 2020 election as something like a backstop for Democrats. They had nothing. Absolutely nothing. The single reason to vote for Joe Biden was that he wasn't Trump. He wasn't going to fix anything, he didn't excite anyone, but he wasn't Trump. That was all. It turned out to be just barely enough.

I see this election as the opposite. This is the red backstop. Anyone still voting Republican, I don't think you're going to reach. The GOP still has Trump hanging around their neck, and holy dancing cannolis he's worse than ever. I don't need to waste electrons describing what a soiled diaper with a wig this jackass is or how everyone knows it whether they admit it or not. He's literally getting shot at by his own supporters and no one cares.

Meanwhile Harris has been running a more or less flawless campaign. I can't think of a single thing I'd do differently and you all know I got opinions. She's smart and genuine and charismatic, she's engaging the Zoomers, her twitter feed is one continuous burn that started with murder and just never let up. She had the choice of a sensible, boring, focus grouped, demographically motivated VP pick but instead went with America's Dad who was an instant success. Everyone from Taylor Swift to Dick Cheney is on her side. Jimmy Carter is hanging on to life just to vote for her.

And above everything still is the abortion issue. Dobbs was a victory for Republican rat****ery, but it's turned out to be a pyrrhic one. Abortion is turning out Dem voters in droves.

The only thing that doesn't jibe with all of that is the polling, that consistently points to a neck and neck race. I've heard some harsh criticisms of modern polling methodology, but I'm not a pollster myself, I'm not going to point fingers. Either I'm deeply, deeply wrong or they are, and all's I can say is I'm not being paid to sell headlines. Maybe we are only two points ahead, but let's vote like we're two points behind anyway.

Well, ◊◊◊◊. I was wrong. I was dead wrong, and the polls were right. The American people had a chance to pick empathy, and they doubled down on hate, in numbers too large to deny. As a country, this is what we want, and we deserve everything that's going to happen to us as a consequence.
 
I heard a MAGAt say that this was a repudiation of wokeism. I agree that it played a major role, bigotry is something the a majority of voters decided is a good thing.

What's a country coming to if it can't marginalize vulnerable populations?
 
Funny, most of whatI am reading says the economy..inflation in parituclar, is what gave Trump his victory.
I think voters made a terrible mistake, but I think that many voted for Trump despite his racism instead of because of it.
The other message is that the Left is terrible at getting across it message to many people.
I know I will get blasted for this, but they have to learn to communicate with blue collar and rural Americans to win. ANd, frankly7, the contempt that many Progressives have toward these groups is self defeating.
