2024 Presidential Election Thread

Ds arent respinsible for the Rs being a personality cult.

I didn’t say Dems are responsible for Trump. I’m just saying that it’s hard to take their “democracy will end” rhetoric seriously when they aren’t running a serious process to take Trump down.

I don't see how those two ideas have to connect for Trump to be considered a threat to democracy. The Weimar Republic being weak didn't mean the Nazi threat to democracy shouldn't have been taken seriously. Weird reasoning.

And we already have a history of Trump summoning a mob intent on killing the vice president to try to keep Congress from certifying the election. Trump being a threat to democracy isn't a hypothetical thing anymore.

It will be interesting to see if the anti Puerto Rico joke and other racist and xenophobic garbage at Trump's NY rally is just enough to move the needle in some of the swing states where it's believed to be razor close like PA, AZ, or NV.

I liked Jon Stewart's reaction. This post on X was the only one I could quickly find where the video was only Jon and not commentary on him.

Just ignore him. I rarely bother to read his tweets. Same old MAGA shit-posting.

If this were my neighbor putting up ridiculous signs in his yard, that would be easy to ignore. This is more like our roommate walking into every conversation in the apartment and reframing it to fit his looney conspiracy theories. At some point, the other roommates get frustrated by the constant disrespect.

gotta silently ignore people instead man.

What's better than Trump on Joe Rogan's podcast? JD Vance on Joe Rogan's podcast...

JD's is going to have double the views that Trump has. Take it to the bank.

You shouldn't hold it in and take action against your neighbor's signs... It's not healthy for you to hold it in.

You know you want to do it.

Nice. He can have double the views of him pretending that Trump didn't say the things he clearly said. Probably then double THAT number again, because people will have to watch 2x to unravel his words to discover that he never actually said anything of substance.

Cant even read the words on the page you are quoting. I can easily ignore your yard signs.

What if your neighbor puts up yuge signs?

Can you still easily ignore them?

What do you know... Just driving down the road, minding his own business, and he finds a box full of ballots laying in the middle of the street:

If he stays in his own message board, ER, property, I have no prob with it.

Pretty good concise closing statement on the most basic reasons Trump should never be president again. If only she would have been making this case for a couple of years as the nominee.
