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

Oof

Yeah I believe that. he was down
6-7 points in swing states right before he dropped out

i was part of the Biden boys but it was delusional to think he could have pulled it off

The debate was the nail in his coffin and the only reason he did it early was because he knew he was down

How long before Trump turns on Elon/Mike Johnson?

I think she should have done Rogan and I said that on here.

Get out of the fukking bubble. These political consultants don’t know anyone. That “ewww, they stink,” shyt that Dems have is weird.

She should have done Rogan.
She should not have travleled to Austin and given him a 3 hour interview. That was an absurd sticking point on his part.

[John Reena]

Reality with the Bernie shyt all he care about is the white working class, he wants dems to stop talking about blacks discrimination etc. he wants democrats to reach out to whiteness that feel like blacks and other subgroups stole their plant, and construction jobs

Exactly! U can’t reach out to them ppl.

They don't care Elon doesn't care , Elon sees tesla struggling against other evs, bezos see Amazon struggling against Chinese stores. This is going to be a mess and that's why they support trump us protectionism policies. They will absolutely do tarrifs and it will be a disaster

 

[Loose]

Why do billionaires and corporations want that?

Because they want a trade war with china

Kamala almost did it but Biden unpopularity pulled her down too

People keep saying it was the Afghanistan withdrawal, but the COVID benefits ended late that year as well. The unemployment benefits, rent moratorium, Child Tax Credit, etc. And they raised interest rates to punish workers.

All of that is tied to the economy. I feel like blaming the Afghanistan withdrawal is the neoliberal way of not addressing the material conditions because not one exit poll mentioned Afghanistan.

Look at this - they won't stop "we must have a BW" Where did that get us?

If Dems had passed over Kamala there would have been some dissent/disapointment. I don't think anyone's arguing otherwise. Biden literally endorsed her when he announced he was stepping out of the race and the party immediately fell in line. There was no uproar about passing her over because there was no public deliberation otherwise by the DNC leadership.

Biden put the party behind an eightball by pulling out so late. At that point Kamala was the "safest" choice. She was also the ONLY choice once he put his support behind her.

At the end of the day, he has a massive audience of people. He don't need her as much as she need to talk to that audience.

Why? I thought most corporations support free trade
