2024 United States Presidential Election Megathread

[num123]

This myth again.

That’s cool. I got one more graph for you




What does this tell you about rationality of the average voter?

Are you a Harris staffer? Is this supposed to tell me something different? Almost 7 million people by your chart work multiple jobs, which i would bet at least some are voters. Not to mention i strongly suspect this does not take into account the Gig Economy where people are doing side stuff for Uber, Doordash, grocery shopping, etc..

A lot of people are not feeling good about their finances or their economic prospects and the best you could do is, "well actually, if you look at these charts......". I make 6 figures before counting benefits and i can see shyt is rough out here, so what do you think someone that is making average wages is going to feel?

People's pain or fear cannot be pushed away by stock market gains or unemployment numbers, not how that shyt works. "I am barely breaking even on bills and have to work two jobs to keep up, but this chart about how wages finally outpaced inflation in 2024 makes me feel so much better!"

Emotional. Like the average American voter. Immune to facts and reason just how I feel which can change on a whim depending who is in office. I think I’ve proven my point.




So yeah, get an alpha male populist who will tell people the sky will rain gold if they are elected then get them to hate the opposition like they hate the Dallas Cowboys. That’s where the dems should go.

@num123 literally pointed out how the chart said "People are working multiple jobs!!"
and it was just skipped over to call breh "emotional".
Brazy.

The level of discourse on here is laughable at times.

The drop in "multiple jobs" also hit right when Covid did then it trended back up.
I wouldn't be surprised if the people adversely affected by that were low income wage workers.
The same group HEAVILY impacted by the increased interest rates because across the board
there was GENERAL inflation.

If you were making $20/hr and working a second job just to get by four years ago you're likely
drowning from the increased inflation.

You do know that this is a large reason why Kamala lost, being out of touch with the average voter. Being the the lesser evil candidate of so many issues and not shoring up and turning out the base did her in. Spending time and political capital trying to bring in Republicans rather than likely voters was a failure. Being a corpo whore did not help either.

You talk that emotional shyt, all high and mighty but that dumb bytch lost because she ran a retarded campaign. She lost because she she went full retard campaigning with the Cheneys in Michigan and basically telling the Arabs there, "Israel did nothing wrong, LOL" like that would work out fine. She stopped talking with a populist/anti corporate message (which was showing success) after she had a talking to by her Uber corpo brother in law who was one of her advisors.

You are like i bet a lot of people in Harris' camp are: Entitled, elitist, holier than thou, "I am smarter than you so listen to me" thought process. You look and reach out to people in the way you want them to be and not in the way they are. This is coming from someone that voted for her but i am a realist and it was shown a lot of people that are like you and those that ran her campaign were not.

Data is good but you have to look at the actual people behind the data and how they are struggling. Dismissing millions of people when she lost battleground states by very thin margins is nuts. Not to mention all of the other financial reasons people are hurting. This election has shown again there are a lot of Democrats, especially in senior and leadership positions, do not understand the people they want to vote for them.

 

[Mister Terrific]

This election has really lib pilled me




I think Agent Smith in the Matrix really said it best.

Did you know that the first Matrix was designed to be a perfect human world? Where none suffered, where everyone would be happy. It was a disaster. No one would accept the program. Entire crops were lost. Some believed we lacked the programming language to describe your perfect world. But I believe that, as a species, human beings define their reality through suffering and misery.

 

[Insensitive]

Tbh not only do I feel that the Democrat leadership is out of touch and obtuse they have a genuine
disdain and disgust for working class people.

Many on this website are either professionals, aspirants or live in the coasts like I do.
So they tend to mirror wider party opinions/beliefs that people in the midwest and south
are just ignorant backwoods yokels who can't think for themselves.

This is why they repeatedly fail to appeal to a wider audience outside of Blue Maga/Hardcore believers.


Not to mention they're too scary and frankly compromised to ask more of corporations/CEOs and endorse labor
unions. So inevitably they have an antagonistic relationship with workers including the highly paid ones that are typically
DNC faithfuls.

Because of your low IQ you couldn’t properly read the graph. It says the rate of multiple jobs is fairly consistent over the last 30 years and may be even lower now. Remember population grows. So you want the rate.


Emotional “but the workers feelings” breh just said something because he heard it. I.e. not backed up by evidence then claimed it was gig work or something as if you don’t have to report your earnings lol.

If you were making $20/hr and working a second job just to get by four years ago you're likely
drowning from the increased inflation.

that’s doesn’t exist. If you are making 20 an hour full time you aren’t working 2 jobs unless you’re on amphetamines.


We can’t have a conversation around the economy if you won’t be honest.

So Trump got almost 40% in California? Yeah Dems are cooked

I have reportedly said the California democrats will make u into a republican. The have governed this state horribly. And if Newsome thinks its a winning formula to fight deportations, than he's a dumb azz

 

[Insensitive]

I'm around these died in the wool type Democrats.

They love Obama but clutch their purses extra tight in North Hollywood and wouldn't dare to visit Compton or Inglewood
or Watts or whatever.

But "I'm not racist tho!!!", these are the people with racist ass uncles/aunts/parents/grand parents in Kern County, Orange County, The Inland Empire etc.

They're either transplants who went to a school with like one Black person or the descendants of white flight types who previously
lived in the now largely Black and Hispanic suburbs (in Los Angeles).

I've been around these kinds of people ALL MY LIFE so whatever TheColi has to say is irrelevant. Just look at my state and how red it is.

The minimum wage in my state is $20/hr
There are people making my hamburgers making that much.

So yes, there are definitely people working two jobs to keep a roof over their head making that salary.

Not only am I being honest but all of this information is easily researchable via the BLS.
You don't even have to use twitter.

I said full time.

Numbers are easy to reach

Look at all these struggling part timers, way lower rate than the 80’s and 90’s

 

[Insensitive]

I said full time.

You like to argue for the sake of arguing.

I never said "People who are working part time".
I said people making $20/hr which you argued is a "livable wage" which I countered with "Lol I'm in Cali breh".
You clearly DO NOT understand how far that DOES NOT go out here.

Struggling part timers? Whoa that's crazy because that's not what I'm talking about at all.

Post the numbers for these full timers taking second jobs.

I said people making $20/hr which you argued is a "livable wage" which I countered with "Lol I'm in Cali breh".

Never said one thing about livable wage. Nebulous concept on its face.

Struggling part timers? Whoa that's crazy because that's not what I'm talking about at all.

Do you know what you’re talking about?
