2024 United States Presidential Election Megathread

[Michael's Black Son]

You can’t Appoint a candidate and expect them to win. You can’t avoid press conferences and have a single debate about issues, and avoid hard questions during your own town hall and expect to win.
You can’t lose a gigantic voting block in Black Men and expect to win against everybody else.

This is correct.

People had no connection to Kamala and she did a mediocre AT BEST job of showing signs of humanity that seemed believable.

With it it was literally like watching Selina Meyer, who often had to fake being nice in public on “Veep” and behind the scenes she was a damn menace

Dems tried to pull this crap twice with her by appointing her and it blew up in their faces. Should’ve made Hillary run again if that was the case

The very fact he managed to convince his supporters the election was being rigged, causing them to commit an insurrection, should tell you that they believe the lies he tells them. His followers commited treason (blasphemous to any Conservative), and you're telling me they didn't fall victim to disinformation? The very ideals they're fighting to keep preserved, now they suddenly don't care about, whilst full-well knowing who Trump is?

You're basically saying since they know Trump is a liar, they willingly sacrificed themselves to be sent to prison, ultimately all for nothing.

Or is it because they're no more than marks in his cult and fell for his bullshyt?

I know which one sounds like it's grounded in reality.

Furthermore, of course they care, they just don't believe it to be true because then they'd need to look at themselves in the mirror, and ruminate on exactly who they are and where they went wrong, which we know they'll never do. If they didn't care about Trump's morality, than they wouldn't use it against every single Democrat candidate (and everyone in proximity of them).

Why do you think theology is ingrained in Conservatism? They believe the teachings of God. It's the same principle behind believing the lies that Trump tells them. It's no different: the belief in something they trust to be true even though it's not empirical. Or are you now going to tell me that they believe God doesn't exist, and everything that emcompasses Christianity isn't actually real?

Trump supporters can't even recite his [non-existent] policies, or have any thoughtful reason behind why they support them. The limit of their brainwidth only extends to regugitating the MAGA acronym in its four words. And yet here you are trying to paint them as being mentally capable of compartmentalizing his indiscretions and seperating them from his strategem, that they have no grasp of.

This is by far the stupidest shyt I’ve read all morning. Nikka take your anti God utter stupidity somewhere else.

Congratulations.

Take it back to the post I quoted. It's the hills they choose to die on + the ridiculous lengths they go dying on them

You'd think lgbtq was 60% of the population the way Dems rally behind that shyt

If your problem is with the hills they choose to die on, why the fukk would you put so much emphasis on their methodology, if you're now acknowledging what I'm saying that Trump is guilty of it too?

You out here trying to crucify women because of the "social violence" they employ, when Trump uses that as vessel everytime he opens his mouth.

Essentially all you're saying is, women aren't important enough to have hills to die on (not to mention they're "insane"), and they shouldn't fight for what they believe in. It's hilarious to me how you think that's a women problem, and not you know, a problem of that everyone else should look to amend.

No deep dive necessary. The majority of this country is stupid. Or are you going to tell me all those white folks in poverty (which made up the largest quantity of Trump voters) all voted for him because they made smart, rational decisions based on his policies and betterment for all in this country?

Next question?

No essays need to be written. Simple answer
People vote with their heart not brain

 

[The Realist Perspective]

If this is true, then we need to have a real conversation about discrimination across the board because if someone, regardless of gender, works their ass off, gets the required qualifications, and still doesn't get a leadership position, whether it's a corporate executive position or an elected position, then men can't say that feminists are making up shyt. If the only disqualifier for a person's ability to get a position is their gender, then y'all gotta stop talking out both sides of your mouth. You're admitting that discrimination occurs based on gender and that women don't have the same rights to the pursuit of opportunity.

There are physical qualifications of being a leader, yes. Short men rarely are granted leadership positions. You deny the physical characteristics that are also as important as "on paper qualifications" of a leader that makes someone an EFFECTIVE leader.

Not saying this at all, you can and should fight for whatever you want, but relentless nagging is a very ineffective persuasion tactic

The fact you read that and think it's "anti God" is the real stupidity.

I'm illustrating a point that Conservatives believe in what Trump tells them. It's the same principle behind why theology is a cornerstone of their beliefs system. I'm making this point because someone is arguing that the majority of Conservatives don't believe Trump's lies.

That post was not anti or pro God. I was merely using it as a frame of reference behind how Conservatives think.

[Stick Up Kid]

Spoke to my brother, he’s having a meltdown talkin about Trump gonna be bad for the economy.. I had to remind him that hes still locked up until 2027 and that shouldn’t concern him

 

[HoldThisL]

I been having the biggest disgust on my face all day, it's hard to smile.

It's like I got smacked in the face with the reality that current America is not what I hoped. I thought we was moving to a better future as a society, but I guess not.
