2024 Presidential Election Thread

I'd bet that every piece of produce you eat has been handled or viewed for quality by migrant workers, right now they are vital to the industry. Your small road side produce sheds may be the one exception. I've also never met a person in the industry who calls themselves a liberal or even a democrat, it's a very right crowd. It's a real conundrum for them.

yeah they've always worked with this conundrum-- they want the migrant workers but can't afford to have them legalized. The status quo of having them in legal limbo has really worked out for them financially, and now they have to *gasp* advocate for their little slaves.

Yeah, that one’s news to me.

Let's not forget desantis pretended to be a human rights lawyer for prisoners , found out which torture affected them most and then reported it to the interrogators.

I didn't know that. I knew he was present at Guantanamo for some reason, but yeah... that tracks.

When Trump first ran, I determined early I could not vote him. There were warning signs. Concerns about his behaviour and character that could not be reconciled. To some that makes me a "never Trumper." If there is such a need to so codify, so be it. As a conscientious objector to Trump and the forseeable danger he represented I watched family and friends "hold their nose" as some said, or undulate ideologically in order to vote for him.

To be blunt, I was correct in my assessment. Trump was and continues to be a disaster, and a danger. With the build towards the 2024 primaries, I have determined early that I cannot vote for DeSantis. There are similar warning signs. I am not smarter than anyone else. Vote for who you will. It is clear to me, DeSantis is not a wise choice.

Your instincts on this are good.

Showtime just pulled an episode they were going to air surrounding his activities at Gitmo.

Let’s be real, did he probs see or do something he should’ve objected to or whistleblown about almost 20 years ago? Maybe. Does it resonate with Americans? No. Are these situations complex and almost impossible to piece together today? Yes.

True no one will vote based on Guantanamo

I would insert a Jack Nicholson gif here, but that is just way too easy.

What's amazing is that Chris Christie is an outlier in the Republican party. Why is it so hard for others in the party to state the obvious?

Because he probably he sees his chances to win the nomination with clear eyes: no chance. Others are still naive.

Florida man just can’t get enough of cheap stunts to bolster his anti-immigration bonifides. This time, his administration flew migrants from New Mexico to Sacramento. Like, we know you’ve been winning culture wars left and right in your own state. But there’s nothing else you can do to help Florida?!?
