2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.

That rent control proposal wouldn’t even have the dem votes to pass it I bet. Real estate/big bank lobby would crush that quickly.

Also, for all his supposed senility, Biden going back to the progressive wishlist when things are looking down shows better political instincts than Pelosi and Schiff have ever shown.  For all his problems as a candidate, Biden's theory of politics has always been way above replacement level compared to pretty much any other moderate Democrat. I've been worried that he lost that with Ron Klain gone, but it doesn't look like he has. 

AOC needs to be running the whole fucking party within the next 5-10 years or it deserves to be bulldozed. It's wild how bad most Dems are at understanding politics compared to her.

I’m glad someone finally defined ‘black jobs’ ….

 

Well, I mean...it's also a very popular search term on Pornhub.  Or so a friend told me.

It's not even controlling rent - isn't the proposal to simply not give tax breaks if they're increasing rent by over a certain threshold like 5% YoY or something?

Outside of tax code, I really don't know what the Federal government is supposed to do about rent.

And is he even a man? He appears to be shaped like a woman with wider hips than chest.

Whoever said he looked like a racist CareBear really nailed it. 

According to CareBear lore, if you use their cartoons to reference their height against other known objects/human characters.  They're 3'tall, so like 'vance short.'  However, they're much more cheery than J.D. and they don't have beards, just fur and this cleanly distributed.  Using similar scalability, Ewoks were a little taller, closer to Vance's height.  Their moppy fur did have a pronounced density around their faces.  Plus they're really fucking mean and aggressive for half the movie.  So I think he's a Maga Ewok.  

J.D., wouldn't Trump being "America's Hitler", make you "America's Goring"?  Do you know original punishment Goring was sentenced to.  Hint, Mike Pence knows this one.

Many standards enforced by local regulators come from federal regulations.  There are significant costs added to construction from those regulations

Example: EPA standards around stormwater and discharge from municipal waste facilities have increased significantly in the last 30 years.  Those costs are material to the construction of new supply for rent.  Thats not to say those costs(regulations) aren’t the right thing to do, but they are real and much different than the past.

This is Biden's attempt to reach out to young male voters. Can't imagine it will help in any way. 

 

Yikes, at the 2-minute mark he talks about running for President against Trump in 2020, then 20 seconds later he says it was an honor when Obama asked him to be the VP in 2020.  

I don't want to watch anymore because I'm afraid of what's to come... well, that and I was already starting to fall asleep.

Crazy to think America could be a borderline Axis power by this time next year. 

Borderline? Germany would be our Italy and we'd steal all their trucks and make them walk through the desert.

How do you not know your own major policy position.  It's one thing to read out loud something stupid on the teleprompter like "[Pause]."  It's another to mess up something like that.  

I legitimately didn't know it was anywhere near this bad.  I'll admit he's been cringeworthy the whole presidency so I avoid watching him when I can.  I didn't realize that we need to start thinking about Alzheimer's.

I think you can reasonably conclude with a straight face that you don't know whether the country will be in worse hands over the next 4 years based on who's elected. If there is an emergency war-like situation or something else that needs quick understanding of what is going on, is Biden capable of that?

Let's not go crazy now. Biden will continue to have smart, competent people around him to "guide" him to the preferred decision.

Trump...will not. 

I agree with everything before this though.

Other world leaders when meeting with Biden...

It's a shame. Trump shouldn't have a chance in hell, but here we are.

Too bad none of those smart, competent people around him are running for President.

I’ll take my chances with the old guy and the competent people around him. You can go with Trump, Bannon, Flynn, Paxton et al to handle the emergency if you really want I guess.

I feel fairly confident in saying this: At this very moment less than 4 months from Election Day, Biden's age/condition is a bigger concern to the general electorate than anything regarding Trump. It's fresher in people's minds and hasn't been beat to a bloody pulp for the last 8 years. It's not fair, but I think it's where we're at. And time isn't on Biden's side.

What the fuck are we gonna do about it? 

 

Vote for Joe Biden?

I never knew that being president was considered a “group effort” until I was told less than a month ago, shockingly, right after Biden flubbed his way through the debate and people started asking questions.

i mean Obama made a point of saying he purposely tried to surround himself with people smarter than him. and he was a smart motherfucker. so...yeah.

While I understand your sarcastic point, if you don't hold the absolute scum, stupidity, and ineptitude that Trump surrounded himself with the last time around against him, I don't know what to tell you.

You missed the “…once in office he’ll be serious and have a great staff” replies in 2016/2017. Followed by endless Twitter firings

You have to take him seriously, not literally!

Seriously. That was the book on Ronald fucking Reagan - he surrounded himself with a skilled cabinet. It was a regular theme for praise of his presidency which, if you hadn’t noticed, happened decades ago.
Maybe you “never knew” that because you’re an uninformed moron. Or, maybe you’re lying. Those are the two options here.
