2024 Presidential Election Thread

I'm not sure if Afghanistan moved the needle much, but a solid yes on everything else he said. A Harris win was going to be a very tall order in the best of circumstances. The perception of the economy, even when it started getting better this year, was too pervasive for a short Harris campaign to overcome. I expected 4 years was a short enough memory for America, but I guess we've underestimated Trump's ability to whip up support in the right parts of the country twice now.

Biden's perfidy should never be forgotten.

Cults of personality are real. In no sane world should be a serious candidate. But I doubt we will see the fake right-wing champions of free speech object to these shenanigans:




Journalists from multiple news organizations have been denied credentials to former President Donald Trump’s election night watch event in West Palm Beach, Florida, in retaliation for their coverage of Trump’s campaign.

Reporters at Politico, Axios, Puck, Voice of America and Mother Jones were among those denied credentials. Some, like Politico, had been previously granted access to the Tuesday night event only to have the decision reversed.

Politico’s team of reporters and a photographer were initially approved to attend the event, but on Tuesday morning were surprised to find they had been denied credentials, a person familiar with the matter told CNN. The person suggested the decision was made in response to an article in Politico magazine, which reported that a Trump campaign field director was fired for being a White nationalist.

You can’t run the vice president of one of the most unpopular presidents in history and expect people to get excited about voting for her.

Yes, this is Joe Biden’s fault. What a schmuck.

This baby is over. Butt-kicking.

This seems like a correct post-mortem:

Dems are so dumb. They ran a candidate that had a policy position of banning all fracking in an election where PA is THE key state. Nice job idiots.

he wont even need PA

And they could’ve had the super popular Pennsylvania governor as a VP pick. Idiots.

Trump has promised RFK control of the CDC. These are not intellectually sound people

[MartyFunkhouser]

Democrats this is your effing wake up call. If you don't adapt, this is going to get a lot worse. Stop running with extreme policies that are going to play with your average American.

Regroup with Josh Shapiro in 2028. He is your candidate. He is moderate and he can win.

The Russian have been responsible for bomb threats to elections offices in heavily democratic areas. Team MAGA is team Putin
