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

[GhostoftheMan]

Yea I feel like folks forgot about this from the last time. The polls don’t mean anything.

Another thing that I’ve been struggling to communicate is that the whole “cancelling out my husband’s vote” shyt and this idea that white/conservative women were voting for Harris was all nonsense. All of the focus and blame should be squarely on the vast majority of white people who actively chose this man three times despite EVERYTHING.

People were bringing this up but a loy of it was side lined as "you don't know what you're talking about" and "you lack evidence". White women showed twice they were going to vote with their husband's but dems thought 3rd times a charm. The country largely doesn't care about abortion when they see the economy is down.


Dems tried to play it both sides instead of firmly choosing a side. Quiet as it's kept, sending money to Ukraine has also been a huge negative in the eyes of the electorate. A whole lot of "we are sending money to x country but can't help our own"

 

[the cac mamba]

what are you talking about? When have the Dems moved left in the past 12 years?

 

[Wargames]

I hate how pissed off all this makes me and what annoys me more is people being pissed off at voters. Seeing people disrespect Arabs really making my blood boil for real.What the fukk is the point of a political party if they don't do politics and don't shape the narrative to help themselves? How the fukk are you so mad at voters and not the people whose job it is to persuade them?

They voted for Jill Stein and the guy who did a Muslim Ban.

How much sympathy do you want? They voted against themselves.

That is like saying be sympathetic to white women. White women are white first.

 

[Tair]

They're going to see that 16% and blame the hell out of black men.

Never mind where everyone else save for black women fell on that list...

Even if Black men voted the same as Black women it still wouldn't have made up the difference with White women.

It's a dumb talking point and just further pushes Black men away.

What did Donald Trump do to persuade them? You’d have a point if they sat home. They voted for Trump.

Arabs aren't even the issue. It's been defacto rural voters.

I was just using them as an example but I'm also talkin about the Latino vote and the youth. This is incredibly embarrassing.

 

[Randoug]

So will the Ukraine get absorbed back into Russia now?

Let's not forget Ukraine is a Neo Nazi Haven that hates blacks

The democratic party doesn't fail, they can only be failed.

 

[PoorAndDangerous]

yep

i remember in july, all that "we can't skip kamala and slight black women", without remotely taking into account that black women are only 7% of the general election, AND overrepresented in the south which doesnt matter electorally, AND who didn't even give a shyt about supporting kamala in the 2020 primary, and would have clearly supported newsom. that take ends up being incredibly embarrassing

i did want Newsom as well, but I'm still not sure--with the lack of time if it would've made a difference. Trump could've trounced him with all the anti-california rhetoric

And apparently burning people outside of hospitals alive and killing kids won’t either

Looks like Trump and Netanyahu just got a mandate from them to wipe what was left of Palestine off the map. You tell me? Enjoy your pyrrhic victory young accelerationist.

Where is the Arab and Muslim voice in the US while the Gulf states ethnically cleanse Sudan?

genocide

You don't give a damn about genocide in Palestine or anywhere else. You're a pathological liar

RFK Jr as head of the health department...

I can't get that thought out of my head. We had a front row seat to his insanity during the pandemic with how he intentionally targeted Black people with a misinformation campaign that contributed to a lot of vaccine hesitancy, which in turn led to people dying. He even called COVID-19 vaccination efforts a form of systemic racism.

 

[ineedsleep212]

They voted for Jill Stein and the guy who did a Muslim Ban.

That is like saying be sympathetic to white women. White women are white first.

What did the Dems do to get their votes? They spit in their faces and basically said too bad while their families and friends were getting bombed. This is crazy to say.

 

[Rain]

White women voting against their own interests. What’s new

 

[dtownreppin214]

I feel like there was nothing Dems could do to change the outcome of this election.

Project 2025 in progress as we speak

AOC and BLM led them off a cliff on immigration and crime/policing. Perceived or real, they are on the opposite side of a huge swatch of America on those two issues.

It was a checkmate move to start shipping immigrants to blue states. It was a checkmate move to manufacture caravans from the southern border. It was a checkmate move to astroturf the suburbs with messaging about Dems wanting to defund the police.

Add in Elon amplifying all of this, a weak candidate and Trump building foundations with young/latino voters and you get this disaster.
