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

Featured Replies

So Democrats can’t campaign FOR their candidate, as he is historically unpopular and the vast majority of the country thinks he is incapable mentally of leading.

They also are now functionally unable to campaign AGAINST the other candidate, as speaking the truth about the man will be viewed as inappropriate.

Turn off the lights, this one is over.

Higher turnout is bad for Trump 

That was true in 2020. I don’t think that’ll be the case again.  
 

in 2020, Biden was leading in polls   More people meant more ability to exaggerate that lead.

 

this time Biden’s behind. Low turnout would likely be focused in low propensity voters, which typically means uneducated.  Uneducated = R these days.

See that sniper's head pop up?  I suspect he saw muzzle blast and realized shit just got VERY real.

It looks more like he’s looking for one, then repositioning to aim further to his right.

More voters means Dems win. We know what trumps ceiling is. High turnout is bad for pubs and it’s been that way for decades. There’s a reason they don’t want people to vote.

Are your surprised? This forum is mostly populated and dominated by sick and disgusting people.  

Were you saying this after January 6th?

What about after trunp joking about pelosi’s husband?

Or what about trunp posting with a pic of Biden bound and gagged plastered on a truck? 

 

 

So is your radical republican team also considered “sick and disgusting” as well because you and they cheered trunp on as he did those things? Didn’t you just laugh off and disregard January 6th when your people were hunting congressfolk and hoping to kill them that day?

They sure as shit can campaign against Donald Trump, and if they don't it's political malpractice.

Not doubting turning off the lights, but I wonder if in this political/social climate of just mean nastiness being the norm if a brief pause wouldn’t be enough to get back on the attack. Hell it might be what most people want. 

I could see Biden not wanting to engage in that anymore, but I don’t know shit about fuck.

There is nothing that Joe Biden has said or done that raised the political temperature. Donald being a rapist, traitor, felon, fascist is what raised the temperature.

Joe should continue to point out that Trump is all of those things.

Can you imagine what we’d be looking at if he’d been killed tonight? We might be looking at civil war.

Not really. 80 million plus everyone sane that is against project 2025 would have been like, “oh no… so anyway”. Project 2025 is evil incarnate and must be stopped. Not ideal way but when project 2025 says submit or there will be blood. What do you expect? Heritage wants blood. Fuck them

Biden is running against the guy that just got shot in the face. The guy that people previously viewed as an unserious and unsympathetic person. You people are downplaying how this will galvanize voters.  It was bad before when voters were praying that Biden makes it to November without turning into Mitch McConnell on stage. But now, after this? I’m fucking clueless how someone can say, “I’m not sure what this has to do with Biden…”

This will galvanize Trump voters. We already know what his ceiling is. It won’t be galvanizing anyone that wasn’t already voting for him.

I’m clueless what you think this has to do with Biden.

Oh, he's still viewed as unserious and unsympathetic. This won't change that at all.

The presidency is lost. The dems have to focus on the house and senate at this point. It is the last hope (and it might not even matter).

I mean, politicians give rallies around buildings every single day.  But the access to those buildings is pretty heavily vetted prior to.  This is a fucking multi-modal trailer that anybody can just scale in a matter of minutes.  And oh wait?  It's tan with green trees behind it and the shooter appears to be wearing tan and green?  Who the fuck decided to let those trailers just sit out there?  Not like there's a fucking electrical ID-scan turnstile to get to a fucking mobile trailer.  Even if there was, does "Oh, I'm Doug.  I'm dressed like this with this here bag requesting access to the top of the unit for antenna repairs."  As usual in America, there's no conspiracies.  Only stupid people.  

I mean it’s a lot of these same people on dotard’s team…not the best planners out there.

Do you? Did you call it correctly last time he won? 

Wow. I spent the day reading and haven't had the radio or TV on all day. I was just getting comfortably drunk on a great Gin drink I have concocted.  Then this..America is kinda too fucked up for me. First we get attacked by Mynamar inchworms and then people are tryna kill the shitty Kennedys again...fuck this shit.

What are you talking about? We didn’t know his ceiling 8 years ago. We clearly know his ceiling now and have for quite some time.

Who is changing their vote to Trump because he got shot? Tell me about all these voters that were out on him that suddenly decide he’s the guy because he got shot? That doesn’t make any sense at all. His ceiling is well known and two minutes of research would learn you that

Turnout turnout turnout is bad for Republicans. Thats what anyone who has paid attention for the past 20 years is trying to say.

Republican base is galvanized by this happening.  Democratic base is less than galvanized by what has been happening.  That may flip the traditional turnout results.

Show me the research about apathetic voters on the right and middle before and after an assignation attempt. This is unprecedented. I can’t understand how you don’t think this won’t lead to him getting a higher turnout.

I didn’t say it won’t lead it getting higher turnout. I said that he has a ceiling, and he does as has been well documented.

Higher turnout overall is bad for republicans and has been for decades.

Apathetic voters on the right are apathetic because they don’t like Donald Trump. This isn’t going to make them like him lol.

CNN playing someone’s cell video that appears to be people in the crowd yelling there is a shooter on the roof before shots rang out. People who were close to the building/rooftop.

Again, who are the people that are suddenly voting for trump that weren’t before? The apathetic republicans you talk about are apathetic for a reason. Shit those apathetic pubs would be more likely to turnout if he died because they could vote for some other run of the mill pub that doesn’t say the quiet parts out loud.

Biden is portrayed as an old senile man with translucent skin (who many in his own party are urging him to step down) while Trump has a photo of blood running down his face standing with a fist up with the American flag in the background with secret service guys at his feet.  At this point it's like being a Colorado fan in 2005 and thinking you are going to have a big 4th quarter comeback to win the B12...

It is definitely everything you said if you just ignore all the data that says otherwise.
