USA Election 2024

[Roller]

Biden is a very vain man. He resents Harris trying to distance himself from his accomplishments.

This is not the first time he has publicly said something that contradicts something she said. He holds press conferences during her rallies among other things.

As for his legacy, is not being the only person to beat Trump not part of his legacy. He has publicly stated he thinks he is the only person who can beat her.

Under fire after weak debate, a defiant President Biden declares he's the only candidate who can beat Trump

Biden ruled out a cognitive test in his first extended interview since last week's presidential debate.

So it’s not as crazy as you might want to think.

Biden wouldn’t have been in the race to begin with if he didn’t believe he was the best person to defeat Trump. But he’s a savvy politician, and it became and was made clear to him that winning wasn’t in the cards after the first debate, So, difficult as it was, he bowed out and endorsed Harris.

Since then, Biden has done his part at the convention and elsewhere, but has mostly stayed out of the campaign spotlight and done his job as President. That includes commenting about events and issues to the press.

Everything I know about Biden suggests to me that he cares far more about this country than about himself. Sabotaging Harris’s campaign for his gain is not in his fiber. As for his legacy, if Harris wins, she’ll build on the accomplishments of Biden’s administration, and those will be remembered. If she loses, those memories will fade as the progress is reversed, and Biden’s record of beating Trump in 2020 won’t matter.

He is an old man playing the old man. In doing so, he is highlighting you do not want the old man.

Strategy.

A few things to look at for hope.

There are far more Republican aligned polls than there were in 2020. Those are going to get included in data that considers all polls.

10 million more women than men voted in 2020 and that was before Roe v Wade got overturned.

Here's a pretty good assessment by The Atlantic of today's Republican Party, with trump being a threat to conservatism, and how the importance of character matters when it comes to candidates. Which is why many true Republicans are now supporting Harris.

Your thoughts, @Herdfan ?

How to Prevent the Worst From Happening

If Trump wins the presidency again, conservatism will be homeless, a philosophy without a party, for at least a generation.

It would be so fitting if some random comedian making a shit joke at a rally cost Trump the election. After all the racist and vile crap Trump says, posts and plots, all it took is one random failed joke at a cult circle jerk to end it all.

Wanted to post this here instead of the other thread because it's dangerous and directly related to the election. Musk and is ilk are domestic terrorists full stop.

Elon Musk ordered to attend $1 million voter lottery suit hearing in Philadelphia court​

• Elon Musk must attend an emergency court hearing in Philadelphia on Thursday to address a bid by the city’s top prosecutor to stop the Tesla CEO and his political action committee from continuing to award $1 million prizes to registered voters in the swing state of Pennsylvania.
• Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner revealed his lawsuit against Musk and the America PAC “triggered an avalanche of [social media] posts from Musk’s followers,” many of whom “made antisemitic attacks on Krasner.”
• Krasner’s lawsuit accuses Musk and the PAC of operating an illegal lottery and trying to influence voters in the presidential election between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.

Scarier yet:
The attorneys wrote that after Krasner filed his suit on Monday, Musk in a post on his social media site X noted his agreement with a user’s claim that the district attorney knows the $1 million daily giveaway is “not illegal but wants a leftist judge to stop it before Election Day.”

Krasner’s lawyers asked that the judge order enhanced security for the hearing, which was originally scheduled for Friday morning, noting that one X account had posted the prosecutor’s home address and wrote, “Krasner loves visitors. Mask up and leave all cellphones at home.”

Also (a bit macabre), polls are calculated according to the latest census, which was before Convid-19. I'm almost sure that more Republicans died, because they believed Trump instead of Fauci.

Have they not done any exit polling for early voting? Not sure how that works but there has been plenty of in person voting going on.

Yes there is, but some of these polls showed a 2:1 advantage for Harris, which is probably a bit too optimistic.

I'm not sure if Republicans are typically early voters or not. If they follow Trumps advice, they will try to vote on January 5th, since he told them so at least once.

Musk will probably try to run and, after the right making a big deal over a fictitious story with birtherism, say that there’s no reason he shouldn’t be allowed to run. The right will agree and the billionaire lapdog conservative Supreme Court will see nothing that constitutionally bans him from running.

And when he’s allowed to run, he’ll give a gratuity to the conservative justices. Before and after the ruling, probably.

My hope has been dwindling but I came across a new Lincoln Project video as well as something called Fresh Start Registry. Both feature women involved in “whisper campaigns” to vote who they believe will be in their best interests. They just don’t tell their MAGA S.O. or family.

Wouldn’t it be amazing if this helps Harris/Walz bring it home?

I can’t begin to tell you how much I want Trump to lose and live with that ramification. See it in his face that he really isn’t all that and a bag of chips, that he’s a LOSER.

Plus be tossed in jail & the key permanently lost.

Never-Trumpers troll J.D. Vance with video of Trump calling Harris supporters 'garbage'

Republicans were shocked — shocked — that President Joe Biden might have called former President Donald Trump's supporters "garbage," and the Lincoln Project handed them their winnings. The Lincoln Project played out a classic "Casablanca" scene Wednesday by trolling Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) with...

www.rawstory.com

Black hole calling the vaguely tinted pot black.

"It’s the people that surround her, they’re scum and they want to take down our country," Trump says in the video. "They are absolute garbage.”

"Attention, national media," he [Rick Wilson] wrote. "I was told this phrase is a globe-shattering transgression. I await your breathless tweets."

Vance's take on campaign scandals that include a Trump rally comedian calling Puerto Rico a "floating island of garbage" has been to call out liberals for being too sensitive.

“Stop getting so offended at every little thing,” Vance said of the comedian's set, which also included a watermelon joke targeting a Black man and a lurid comment about Latinos that Raw Story cannot publish.

Yet Biden's comment — which the White House later transcribed as "The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporter’s — his — his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American" — apparently shocked Trump's running mate.

Yeah Biden really trying to undermine Harris with that quote accurately describing a Trump supporter's (I won't glorify him by calling him a comedian) racist take on Puerto Rico that shockingly doesn't actually say what the conservatives say it said. While Trump is the one who, again shockingly, actually said it.

Yes there is, but some of these polls showed a 2:1 advantage for Harris, which is probably a bit too optimistic.

I'm not sure if Republicans are typically early voters or not. If they follow Trumps advice, they will try to vote on January 5th, since he told them so at least once.

Recently early voters have indeed been Democratic leaning. So not necessarily terribly meaningful ... yet.

Ever the hypocrites, I’m surprised Republicans didn’t decide dead people actually can vote as long as they died from covid.

Let’s joke about Michelle Obama and Kamala! Especially their appearance, since he has so much room to talk.

Economists tell us extremely concentrated wealth is a very inefficient use of capital.
