2024 United States Presidential Election Megathread

[Tony D'Amato]

I'm worried. these polls are way too tight for my liking. She's solidly down in AZ and GA. She needs to sweep WI, Michigan, and Penn. Any loss in any of those and Trump wins. Right now she's running 3-6 point points behind where Biden was this time last election in all 3.

Not reassuring.

Seems like u haven't prepared yourself for the inevitable.

Given the regrettable decisions of the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times and USA Today not to endorse a presidential candidate in this year's crucial election, here are links to endorsements of Kamala Harris published by The New York Times, the New Yorker, The Atlantic and other publications, as well as open letters from prominent economists, Republicans, and more than 700 military and national security leaders on why they are supporting Harris and why Donald Trump poses a threat to America's future and the rule of law.

It’s the choice between Democracy or a Dictatorship.

[Quoted tweet]
Kamala Harris: It will probably be the most important vote you ever cast. This election is more than just a choice between two parties and two different candidates. It is a choice about whether we have a country rooted in freedom for every American, or ruled by chaos and division

18/31
@RBReich
TRUMP WAS TERRIBLE, REASON 16
Trump repeatedly lied about the danger of covid, saying it was no worse than the flu or that it would go away on its own.

But behind closed doors, Trump admitted he knew covid was deadly.





19/31
@RBReich
TRUMP WAS TERRIBLE, REASON 17
Trump promoted fake covid cures like hydroxychloroquine and even injecting people with disinfectants.

After Trump’s “disinfectant” remarks, poison control centers received a spike in emergency calls.

Trump also shut the government down two other times.



25/31
@RBReich
Whew! I've got to stop and take a breath. I'll keep going, but please chime in with anything I miss.



26/31
@RBReich
TRUMP WAS TERRIBLE, REASON 23
Trump diverted nearly $14 billion from other federal agencies — including $9.9 billion from the military — to pay for his border wall, which he never finished.

And again, so much for Mexico paying for it.

https://rollcall.com/2021/05/07/most-of-pentagon-billions-moved-to-border-wall-not-recoverable/



27/31
@RBReich
TRUMP WAS TERRIBLE, REASON 24
Under Trump, the national debt increased by about 40% — more than in any other four-year presidential term — largely because of his tax cuts for the rich and big corporations.

28/31
@RBReich
TRUMP WAS TERRIBLE, REASON 25

@RBReich
TRUMP WAS TERRIBLE, REASON 26
The Muslim Ban. Yes, Trump really did try to ban Muslims from entering the country.

30/31
@RBReich
And let's not forget about what Trump got impeached for… the first time.



31/31
@RBReich
TRUMP WAS TERRIBLE, REASON 27
Trump broke the law by trying to withhold nearly $400M of U.S. aid for Ukraine in an effort to extort a personal political favor from Ukraine’s Pres. Zelensky.

Nadra Wilson of Lynchburg, Va., had her registration canceled.

"I was born in Brooklyn, N.Y. — I'm a citizen," Wilson told NPR.

So if she’s a citizen and a resident of VA, that should be relatively easy to clear up. Plus, she can still vote with a provisional ballot.

NEW: The Supreme Court *ALLOWS* Virginia to continue its purge of the voter rolls on the eve of the election, staying a lower court order that has halted the purge. All three liberals dissent.

We know this purge has targeted qualified citizens. https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25259986/24a407-order.pdf

2/11
@mjs_DC
The Supreme Court's decision is extremely worrisome because the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 *explicitly forbids* systematic purges of voter rolls shortly before an election. It now looks like the conservative supermajority will let states ignore that prohibition.



3/11
@mmgtrnnn

SCOTUS’ decision lends credibility to MAGA’s election lies.

[Quoted tweet]
Knowing MAGA's voter purges aimed at non-citizens will remove American citizens, who are eligible to vote, the MAGA Supreme Court Justices allow it to go forward.

Alabama did this with a 22% error rate, 22% of their list was American citizens.

This is voter suppression.
