2024 Presidential Election Thread

This is something progressives are in massive denial about.

No. I doubt most people heard of the term DEI until recently when it became the latest source of outrage. It was not something that was talked about. Christopher Ruffo has been pretty effective with his strategy.

Epstein's best friend is not a good candidate.


The notorious sex trafficker and financier Jeffrey Epstein once called Donald Trump his "closest friend."

That reveal came on Saturday night when journalist Michael Wolff shared tapes of an interview he held with the late criminal via The Daily Beast.

In the clips shared by Wolff, Epstein notes the way that Trump is able to charm people by telling them what they want to hear. He also accused the former president of being a "horrible human being" who had affairs with his "best friends' wives."

“He is charming; he is able to convince people. It’s very much like [Bill] Clinton. Both Bill and Donald have the ability to go over to a fat, ugly woman, say, ‘You are the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen,’" he said. "So, he tells everybody what they want to hear. And that is charming.”

Epstein said that his "closest friend for 10 years" had a great mind for real estate, but was otherwise a complete dullard.

“With respect to real estate deals, he’s brilliant," Epstein said. “Anything else but that, he knows nothing."

You are right that most people didn't know the terms DEI, or critical race theory, or decolinization, or any of these terms. But they knew what it looked like. The impact it had on policy. The impact it had in education. The impact it had in corporate messaging.

what policies were enacted because of DEI? education/dei is just a boogeyman that people banned books for any mention of race issues

Hey guys, I fell asleep... how did things go? Did JD Vance win?

This baby is over. Butt-kicking.

This seems like a correct post-mortem:

Yeah, I think they would have done better going with Grandpa Joe rather than using "democracy" to install Harris as their candidate...

The voters correctly identified who is really the threat to democracy:

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

100% agree

Anyone that worked in a large corporation or that is a public company knows exactly what DEI is and how annoying it can be. It wasn’t the bogeyman of the right. It was forced into places by the left and when people found out it was ridiculous is was finally rejected (mostly thanks to the Supreme Court opinion on AA).

I worked for a large corporation and when I hired someone, the color of their skin was a factor HR had me consider.

[Uncle Ted]

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.

Harris was meeting Grandpa Joe like every day and covering up his condition. Everyone around Grandpa Joe was covering for him. And MSM outlets like MSNBC were covering for him:

But I agree with you that Joe Biden is a schmuck.

Well, I will never begrudge Americans voting to protest the status quo and Biden wasn't particularly positive. I don't think he was as bad as many conservative Americans do but I respect their point of view and civil liberty to express and choose a different direction.

I do not respect their choice who should lead their charge of representing their values and America should be embarrassed that this asshat clown plowed through the primaries. We are the laughing stock of the world right now.

Not that anyone here is unaware:
-Advocated for his VP to be murdered when he wouldn't overturn the election
-Fomented a mob to ransack the capital
-Praises authoritarian dictators, has private meetings with Putin with no US official present and no record of discussion
-Brags about grabbing women by their kitty cats
-Calling for opponents and press to be jailed
-Holds up a bible in a photo op after gassing protestors
-Press is the "enemy of the people"
-Drink bleach to treat covid
-Fuck the scientists at the national weather service, this hurricane is going to slam Alabama and here's a sharpie line to prove it.

And my personal most recent favorite, pantomimed giving a microphone a blowjob and his crowd basically asked him to perform the same service on them.

This is the champion of the party of family values. This is the party I belonged to until 2018, I will never associated myself with these asshats ever again (independent forever). Thank you redneck America for elevating your best and brightest to the head of the land of the free and the brave. Can't wait for the next 4 years of total shitshow and xenophobia.

The republican party is an embarrassment to the human race. I am not a registered democrat but the supreme court having a 50 year super majority of q-anon assholes is not good for america. This place sucks right now.
