2024 U.S. Presidential Election Thread: Donald Trump wins & will return to the White House; GOP wins U.S. Senate & U.S. House
- Thread starter FAH1223
- Start date
Look - IDGAF what anyone on here believes that isn’t a sexually confused troll like fav mamba. But HL and all it’s predecessors was a place where ideas were exchanged and concepts were discussed. The b*stardization of it into horse race politics is sad to see as someone who was a teenager on message boards asking questions like “what do you mean by the system” and getting substantive answers. I clicked this thread to see if anyone had a house of reps forecast because I’ve lost track and I see the same dumb shyt.
Trying to minimize people’s values because you don’t share them as if there isn’t an entire intellectual, cultural, social and political history that informs them is a joke. You know what a progressive is? Most teachers, public defenders, librarians, social activists, and pretty much everyone in-between. It’s the waiters and waitresses and the entire service economy. It’s the majority of people 35 and under - especially if they are a person of color.
Literally every right that you have right now was a result of progressive and labor movements and at every juncture in history the people who clowned them came to be viewed terribly by history. Why does the very idea of holding the only credible left-leaning party accountable or expressing one’s views bother so many of you so much? You’re a step above Republican banning books. List out every negative progressive policy that has affected you in your life and then stop counting when you list them all - I’m pretty sure it is a 30 second or less exercise.
Get off of fukking social media and go to your local townhall meeting or follow how bills pass in your state legislature and the compromises people make every day and then come back talking about “progressives” and how they don’t compromise. The clearest example is all the states gradually raising their minimum wages annually instead of all at once. Funny how this line of BS only comes up when Democrats lose or are on the verge of losing and they need a scapegoat. Or worse - when it’s someone who is a moderate or conservative Democratic trying to frame their personal views as “pragmatic.”

I already mentioned immigration and fracking (not the environment as a whole) and like I said, that's the only major issue she's running to the right on.
Also, she is NOT running on giving Israel a blank check or "starting WW3" so that's a blatant lie. That honestly sounds like Trumper babble.

Because even after Nikki Haley dropped out the primary she was getting hundreds of thousands of protest votes. There’s a large segment of disaffected Republicans that don’t fukk with Trump at all and those people actually vote. If Kamala can get enough of those votes then she beats Trump easily. Marc Cuban appeals to that subset of voter.
You’re assuming that Harris promised them things in return of their support and there is no indication of that. Billionaires know more than anyone how disastrous a second Trump term would be and some Republicans genuinely believe in winning through democracy and not autocracy

I'm not really worried about the campaign, but I think Marijuana legalization and reversing most federal sentences for it would be a easy one.

Would you shut the fukk up about trannies for a month if the mods bushed 88m3, allowing him to get the medical attention he needs for horse kick induced dementia?

anyway, i'll shut up when this party stops pretending to believe things they don't actually believe, for their bizarre inverse version of owning the libs
in 10 years, we went from "i'm a democrat
" to "i'm a democrat 
" . it's a goddamn shame
God saved trump so he killed the firefighter instead. How that family still supports this guy is insane.

To add to this they need some simple day one shyt that is popular that they can do with executive orders to campaign on.
Kamala said recently on the All the Smoke podcast that she supports legalizing recreational marijuana.
Also, Biden has already commuted thousands of sentences for simple use of marijuana federally. He is also rescheduling it.

He doesn’t believe anything that comes out of his own mouth
Bouzy really thinks Kamala is gonna win Florida
And he’s going back and forth with the GOP Florida chair
GOP has more voters on Election Day. So I don’t see how Dems win.

I'll address the rest of the post later...... What???? She's been the most critical of Israel and in the debate called for a 2-state solution.
