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

This is diabolical and I’m here for it

 

[CrimsonTider]

I know. Most Americans are very very stupid

But they’re still potential voters and honestly people look at immigration as a waste of government resources

 

[Reality Check]

True, I thought they were going to push Biden out and put someone like Newsome in his place. He seemed to have been getting more national recognition, and he looks the part. Personally, I really like Buttigeig.

I don't buy Newsom faring any better. Republicans point to California as everything wrong with the country, and having the Governor of that state run against Trump would have seen more red meat being thrown at his base.

 

[CrimsonTider]

5 years ago they should have been finding a new younger candidate to groom and push. They tried playing us stupid with Biden.

What difference would’ve have made if Biden decides to run for reelection

The primary is where you build your base and your message.

That's the thing. These voters don't know how tariffs and cutting social economic programs work. Did you see the videos that went viral of MAGA idiots not understanding how tariffs worked. They thought it would be a good thing and had to get corrected. There are millions of people like that. Most of the country dont know anything about economics which is why Trump can fake it til he make it.

This means they don’t actually care. Do you think any of those people then changed their mind and voted for Harris?

They are on the trump train for trump.

Anyone who’s that stressed about the economy that they would chose their candidate based on it would take the 15 seconds to google the shyt and look at trumps record.

People saying that shyt are unserious and don’t want to admit it’s just fandom of trump and his hate platform that draws them in.

Before the election, I would have agreed with you. But after looking at the results, I think it’s a mix of both. when I look at how many Dem voters sat out this election, the number of minorities who shifted to Trump, Kamala getting a bigger share of the white vote, then racism/sexism as the sole cause becomes increasingly less likely.

Maybe we need to be charitable and take these voters at their word even if their perceptions of reality is wrong.

The economic anxiety stuff is not even rooted in fact or rationality, just feels. Did my dollar go further in 2019 than 2024? No. then let’s go back to Trump.

Will be a while before we get accurate numbers, but at face value the people most stressed by the economy went for kamala.

Yeah but the maga base ain't the main problem. The main problem is most people want change, independent of what that looks like. Trump lost almost entirely bc of how he handled covid. Biden, bc of inflation & white identity politics. A white face echoing Obamas rhetoric would have hit way different than a mixed queen saying she wouldn't change much from Biden.

Social security and Medicare would have never passed in todays America

Lmao crazy this dude was bushed for this take in the Kamla thread months ago

Yep. I also asked why the democrats gave such a big tent and who should be in it going forward.

Muslims and Arabs have tainted their status in the party and I think democrats should let them go. They are religious conservatives ego are often regressive and incongruent with the West. We can try to regain Latinos but there is no upside to trying to appeal to Muslims ands Israelis/Jews both anymore. Jews still support Democrats.

This isnt why she lost , she lost due to the fukking economy. Those people that convinced already has bigoted perceived notions of her.

I'm saying there are millions of people that don't know anything about economics, are very reactive and gullible to misinformation. These aren't all your diehard MAGA people. They are regular people of all races. You have to educate them for months and years. Yes, some of them might stay on for other reasons, but other could be converted.

 

[Robbie3000]

Where did the millions of Joe Biden votes go?

Kamala Harris is set to fall short of President Joe Biden's tally of 81.2 million votes four years ago.

Edit: To me this is the billion dollar question. Why did these people choose to stay home this time around?

Yes it is. I was listening to clips for the last 48 hours.

The trans issue was the biggest ad run trump did and it speaks to something essential that stops other convos from being had. People do not support that community, their stance on child transition or pariipcation in girls sports.

You can’t have it both ways. Do you support child gender transitions or trans participation in girls sports or surgeries in jails for gender affirmation?

Which is it? Either it’s not an issue or you support it.
