2024 U.S. Presidential Election Thread: Donald Trump wins & will return to the White House; GOP wins U.S. Senate & U.S. House

[wire28]

Trump has only raised 300mm this cycle ? kamala/biden closer to 700? How is thie a close race. Seems obvious republicans are tired of trump

Because the dems are no angels in all of this

Why do you say that?

I'm very progressive (phone banked/vote for Liz Warren* in the last primary) and think that Republicans typically have terrible policy for a functioning democracy. They still won in 2016, and after being blindsided by being in a Democratic bubble, I've learned to listen when alarm bells are being rung.

My working theory is that uneducated voters don't seek out political news, and so their insights are formed by influencers and bad-faith actors who peddle controversy for engagement. This rise in social media lines up w/ the attrition of Dems support shown in the tweet.

This tweet is calling out the shift, in working class support, and objectively, as someone black, I do see a different tone compared to 2016/2020... a lot more public endorsements by black people, anti-black conspiracies about Kamala going mainstream in black communities (ie: Janet Jackson) and even personal friends saying some #bothsides BS that wasn't their political perspective previously.

Yet in this thread, otherwise informed poster jump through these mental hoops where every poll that shows Dems winning is unassailable and every poll that shows us in a tight race/losing is a deep state polling conspiracy:

• CNN is more conservative, so their polling is probably biased
• NYT Opinion occasionally says stuff they don't like so I can't trust them either

I'm not against bushing any Trafalgar polling, but when we can't acknowledge the complicated picture that a NYT polls shows... one of the more accurate, more expensive (and more liberal-appearing) gold star polling outfits, what does that say about us?

* It's a sad state of affairs when I feel the need to constantly affirm how progressive I am to avoid being labeled a secret Republican. It's the HL equivalent of being called an undercover cac

It’s okay to post polls, it’s also okay to remind people that polls have been bullshyt for a while now.

It’s like the poll showing a 34 point swing with nonwhite non college grad voters towards Trump. That kind of swing should be called out because it’s not likely to happen and it should be put in proper contest. Without context, its just noise.

Port strike could negatively impact Harris. Hopefully this is very short

it will negatively affect everything.. especially when the shoremen all get replaced by migrants

Dems need to start bringing up that that POS union thug is a trump supporter, who blatantly timed this on purpose. since biden/harris are clearly gonna get blamed for anything negative resulting

The strike will only have a negative impact if it lasts long enough. However, the effects won't be felt until after Election Day.

It will have minimal to no impact on the election.

Trump won't help when the port owners bring in automation though.

Let them eat cake

That Georgia result is a huge outlier. The NC result is reasonable but doesn't match the crosstabs.

The democratic Zionist bootlickers supported this barbarian, Net and Yahoo and he repays yall with an attack on Lebanon and Iran to help Trump. It would actually funny if people weren’t dying.

The Tel Aviv screw job.
