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

[Elim Garak]

So does he have all three branches? Has the house been called yet?

Not officially, but it will be. The federal judiciary will be overwhelmingly Republican too shortly.

None of them give a fukk about working class polices. The working class clearly prefers racism and sexism. They picked an incompetent orange felon in record numbers.

i don't deny that, but it can't be the ONLY takeaway

remember when i was talking about all the voters who think trump is a piece of shyt, but they can ignore him if they think he'll make gas cheaper? that's pretty much what happened every trump voter isn't a hardcore MAGA, who loves the clown show. a lot of them don't like him personally. but some smug cocksucker telling them to "just buy an electric car" didn't appeal to them either

if the far left isn't willing to address the branding problem; it doesn't matter. you can have great working class policies, but they need to separate from the embarrassing bullshyt

you guys think i'm just dunking on trehs because i get a laugh out of it. nobody wants "Latinx", nobody wants to give illegal immigrants money while inflation is happening, no one wants their kids coming home from school, asking why some purple haired fakkit told them there are 40 genders.

dems can accept this reality, or not. san francisco/manhattan politics needs to be squashed, not touted

I didn’t think culture war issues could win an elections I thought that was mostly terminally online grievances.



He’s not wrong but white guys are the same way

 

[LV Koopa]

what it say? i got nap on ignore for years

ONLY way Kamala wins is if she POLITICALLY stabs biden in the back with a swift clean clear decisive strike in the next week to establish dominance, show she can command respect, and to back-down other challengers to the presidency. If she doesn’t do that, she won’t make it out of a brokered convention.

She has to show she can overcome and step on anything Biden is doing and show she’s not just a token politician and that she’s her own person who can take the reins and control the tempo.

She has to be unafraid to make enemies, plus as a VP she can’t go back to being a senator or governor etc a this point. She has to make a generational swing for the top spot against all odds.

Think to yourself…would dikk Cheney be hoed out like this? Absolutely not.

The totals are closer to 2016 than 2020. If you see that context, it makes sense.

We had nothing to do in 2020, so go vote. The world is back open and other things is in the way.

That math still aint mathin. Thats a lot of fukkin votes. Either the 2020 #s are fugazi or this yrs are. Thats too big of a difference.

If anyone has any hope of anything progressive getting passed and upheld in courts, it probably wont happen for at least 30yrs. Think about that. The Left is done

And once again democrat are held to higher standards than republicans. Kamala and her peaceful transition. Good luck with that

[the cac mamba]

well, shout out to biden, for going down as a worse president than jimmy carter. and he might not even outlive carter, either

and no, it's not because of fukking palestine. the decision not to step down, then being forced down in disgrace and sticking dems with an awful candidate, will live in infamy

Democrats still won 80% of black men which isn't that far from the usual.

Latino men....maybe? But I still think it's social media more than anything.

 

[ghostwriterx]

Absolutely not. The establishment was mad at Obama they felt it was Clinton’s turn.

The Clinton's were mad, Obama had establishment support.

 

[the next guy]

keep moving farther left, and keep losing general elections

THIS WAS NOT ABOUT MOVING LEFT.

They literally said its about the economy on everywhere.

 

[DEAD7]

Basically fascism.

Republicans are like don’t call it that because we won, but no bytch it’s fascism.

Then majority of American voters have cast their vote for fascism.

that's another thing - libs need to stop hiring these hustling consultants. i dont know how to do that, but it's been a long term problem.

 

[Robbie3000]

I was thinking this shyt reminded me of Brexit more than 2016. It has some of the same dynamics as well.

1. Xenophobia
2. Some level of economic pain
3. clownish ridiculous leaders on the Pro Brexit side
4. Misinformation and disinformation
5. Distrust of technocrats and institutions.
6. A very gullible voting public.

 

[Smoking With Cigarettes]

What are you talking about? Every issue whether it was student loan forgiveness etc.... progressives should have been beating down doors telling every student YOU ARE NOT GETTING THIS BECAUSE OF REPUBLICANS AND A CONSERVATIVE SUPREME COURT...

Instead they would cast blame on Biden for "not doing enough" when in reality it was losing in the courts...

I could go on and on about how dumb progressives tactics were during all of this..

You do understand a good majority of progressives were in the field for Kamala the same way they were Biden? Like you really think progressives lost this election and not the fact that we are in the midst of a housing crisis where a lot of people can barely afford groceries? What the fukk do you want progressives to do about the right wing media machine shaping the perception of Biden's presidency to be an absolute failure? All I see progressives bytching about with Biden is Gaza and not being able to reign in Manchin and Synema. You think that made latinos have a generational swing for Trump? Or is it maybe something deeper beyond what your emotions are telling you

if the far left isn't willing to address the branding problem; it doesn't matter. you can have great working class policies, but they need to separate from the embarrassing bullshyt

I agree, this and eating their own have always been my main critiques of the left. Its Defund the police vs Law enforcement oversight all over again

you guys think i'm just dunking on trehs because i get a laugh out of it. nobody wants "Latinx", nobody wants to give illegal immigrants money while inflation is happening, no one wants their kids coming home from school, asking why some purple haired fakkit told them there are 40 genders.

Latinx is a dumbass term andillegal immigratiom is an unpopular issue I agree with those things. And as I said before, idc about trannies beyond that I aknowledge they're humans and deserve the rights of any other human. The tranny thing with you specifically is more so about the randomness in which you'll pull it out in discussion Nothing will be funnier than you getting a Kamala tranny rally text. When you posted that in here I thought you were voting R off the principle of it alone
