POTUS Election '24...you heard it here first!
- Thread starter JohnE
- Start date
Are we too big to fail?
Nope, looking good to be the new india.
Is that we just murca or the planet? Given the fact that climate change is about to win against humanity too.
Too real
So, who scares you more Trump or Vance? For some reason, Vance gives me more chills than Trump, and I don't think Trump will make the full four years.
I just messaged a friend that cholesterol could make Vance 2026 a reality.
Instead of going to projects that would help the people, I would bet that it will be another yacht or vacation home for the usual suspects. There will be some crumbs spread amongst the little people, but the majority will wind up making the wallet fatter of old rich white douche-bags. ...Probably.
Woke up to go to the bathroom. Stupidly picked up my phone and now I can’t get back to sleep.
For what it’s worth I’m a registered Democrat. But right now I’m pretty much feeling, “Fuck you Dems !” Uncle Joe did a fine job of protecting Democracy but they didn’t put up a stronger, more exciting candidate to run against a well know opponent. Not only that but failed to learn from the last time they ran a woman against D2S. I’m sorry, but despite the open mindedness displayed on this forum in regards to a female president, the rest of the country isn’t ready. And this race may have come down to something as so stupid, childish and petty. Does blame lay at the feet of Republicans ? Yes. They nominated a twice impeached, convicted felon who praises dictators and is an obvious con man. But they do what they always do. They get out and vote. Later today we will have a better picture but as it stands now. Republicans voted with the same numbers as every other election. The Democrats failed miserably to mobilize voters and protect our withering democracy. They just didn’t come out in the numbers necessary.
Fuck both parties !
Fuck both parties !

Not any more after this one.
As one too many memes have forecast, this speaks to the simple, overarching ignorance and banality of our fellow 'murikkkans. To want and accept a person like this as your leader and the face of the nation points to a willingness to be thought like him. To be thought like him is to be like him, and that is reprehensible.
I despise him. I have since I saw his ugly mug peering out from a board game box years ago. Then he was just a joke, as he is now. However, now as POTUS redux he is much more. Whats more, his backers are further emboldened and will be millions of times more annoying, obnoxious and dangerous than ever before.
As a white, upper middle class male I really have little to fear for personally. but my friends are of all creeds, colors and (Oftentimes lack of) religions. I fear for them. I am scared for them, and all others who spoke out against him at one time or another.
Feeling like you have to carry a gun is no way to be free.
I am done with the Democrats. This should have been an easy win. Just like Hilary vs. him the first time around.
I have said this for years, it is now time for a viable and powerful 3rd party to arise in this country. I served this country in uniform for over a quarter of a century. Not for this shit. If I can figure out where to go, I am gone. That failing, I am bunkering down.
Its going to get worse before it gets better. Whats the trite saying about how those who dont learn from history are doomed to repeat it?
Oh yeah- "Those who dont learn from history are doomed to repeat it."
Buckle up kids.

Fancy seeing you here. I just came to post:
You were 100% correct.
Yeah, sigh...yea me, what a fucking genius.
What are the odds that other countries will cut off or severely limit diplomatic relations with the US? What effects will this have on the manufacturing industry? The entertainment industry?
We have forfeited our place as a world leader via this foolishness. What next?
To Monkeys around the world, on behalf of the failing experiment that this country is, I am sorry.
Our "world leadership" has been destructive. Inappropriate and futile wars, feeding the super rich, destruction of our manufacturing base. Federalism is one of the major things that has taken us down. We may become a Balkans.
I should say I am not to be effected as a white family. They are only separating the family's of immigrants. They are only suppressing the minority's. I believe a similar thing happened in the past. That's is the reason my family is in America. It is great until its you. When will I become an enemy from with in? When will my family?
I've been a democrat my whole life and this is pathetic. Bickering and Infights and people that were going to not vote for Harris because of Gaza. That is just great. Glad to know how that works out for you. I am sorry for the people of Gaza and Ukraine. I would assume this is the end to Gaza as it ever once was. I also fear the fall of Ukraine. Who will be next?

Would have a reasonably competent straight white male won the election? What did Kamala do wrong?
Trump is the only polticial candidate in the history of the USA to run against women. What a joke. I am not sexist but apparently our country is.
Whats easier to vote for, the old white male or the black woman?
"At what point shall we expect the approach of danger? By what means shall we fortify against it?-- Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant, to step the Ocean, and crush us at a blow? Never!--All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Buonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years.
At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.". - Abraham Lincoln

Straight white male might’ve had a better shot. She was probably just seen as a continuation of Biden.
I know so much of the U.S. is racist and misgynistic. I just didn't realize how much. Stunned.
The petty vindictiveness of this orange smooth-brained asshole is going to be off the charts.

I don't think so. I don't think that a woman of color was the best choice, but I don't think it would have mattered- people wanted the chaos and ugliness of trump 2. They wanted a reversal of the policies that are influencing our economy. They want a flat gaza and to end sending money to ukraine. I don't think biden would have won, nor bernie, nor any other democrat- america simply wanted to get rid of illegals and reduce taxes on billionaires.
NOW WE'RE TALKIN!!
And probably the supreme court.
Luckily, that influence is likely to extends DECADES, instead of 2-4 years for the legislative and executive branches.
10 million fewer votes. Racism, bigotry, misogyny, Christian Nationalism and white supremacy were openly displayed, trumpeted, and celebrated.
Tens of millions of Americans saw that and wanted all of that, and 10 million people decided it wasn't worth bothering about. There is no sugar coating this. This is exactly what a majority of Americans want, this isn't a con or a trick. They were painfully direct with their intention and voters said "please sir, may I have another". What an absolute failure of education and society in general.

Yeah. This. This is who America is, folks. Brain isn’t the outlier. You are.
