2024 ELECTION THREAD
The next presidential race will be here soon! Please see current Bovada odds. Thoughts?
no, why do you think republicans having a trifecta and scotus would cause elections to be rigged? you had an election in 2018 and democrats swept the floor
Because they've made attempts to in the past, and the checks and balances that prevented it would be gone. I mean how many was it again that voted to decertify 2020?
how woudl you guys react to van jons saying this hurts black and black women where biden won the vote more than harris.
how do you think he should respond?
legit biden did better with that vote than haris
there not the same.
each freakn time in the last 20 years democrats had to print because gfc 2008 and covid.
democrats was faced with massive economical problems.
trump did 8 trillions with tax cut, all time low unemployment in a non recessionary economy and printing money....
Not arguing this point at all, as it is true. The future printing will need to be done by both regardless, simply to pay interest on past debt. Its like 5 billion a day or some dumb **** right now. A true death spiral. Nothing stops this train.

They will surely use the full power of the state to cement their power as it is allowed to do within the boundaries of the constitution as interpreted by SCOTUS, as the rule of law requires and allows.
If they are smart.
Which is what democrats do when they govern.
Democrats want to extend the franchise to millions of foreigners under the assumption those people will vote for them in perpetuity, that would be democratic right? then the totality of the non-unconstitutional provisions republicans will implement to increase their chances to win are fully democratic as well.
Harris at 1.4% on poly
selzer poll really came in!!!!!!!!!
great job for her being bold
Call me the crazy one but I just don't think its a good idea to hand over full control of our country to people who believe the earth is 3000 years old and that women are merely vessles for male seed

real talk. ow dogshit he is, last tiem he was in ofice, outside covid which wasnt 100% his fault, things werent as doom and gloom and gaalxy ending as people thought. we didn thave russia be hypoer aggro etc
hopefully things are as calm as they get in his tenure and then dems can reds can regroup effectively
but all this talk about him ending the world as we know it is kinda riiculous. it didnt happen in 2016-2020 until a certain covid came which legit was out of anyones control..besdies china

I have been saying for months that i would have preferred a divided government, but i won't for an instant concede that a republican trifecta is worse than a democrat trifecta.
It's not even vaguely close, because rightwing judges are exceptionally better than leftwing judges.
The perfect outcome would have been Trump presiden, republican senate, democratic house. But that was so low-probability i preferred to stan for Harris president- republican senate (given the latter was very very probable).
But the way things are going, i am obviously hoping the house goes to democrats.
The amazing thing was selzer *was* the most accurate pollster. An outlier does happen in polling every 4 years but that was an outlier of outliers.
So what would "insane" republicans in the white house do, that would prevent the USA in 2026 to have a normal fair election?
Well they have been floating around reducing the amount of representatives or something crazy like that to make it impossible for Dems to win. They can also close a bunch of polling places if they gain control of state houses. They can declare emergency powers and not have any checks and balances on what they can do.
You forget that a lot of the American system is reliant on norms.
For the Ukers: Among the people spending the evening with trump's in crowd is farage.
it's a nightmare
Exit polls trump has massively outperformed in the latin and black vote
the dems went all-in with identity politics in nominating their candidate and the entire platform. They've spent almost a decade screaming about how racist trump is and pandering to minorities. it's clearly failing
Will they ever learn?
Of all the states left on the board, Pennsylvania is a must win for Harris. No other state is a must win for either candidate. Other than that, this crap could go on for hours to come.
I currently see it at Trump up 120,000 votes with 93% reported, but what remains is largely Harris leaning city votes. But 7% remaining is tiny. She probably need 75%+ of what is left.
I would have loved Harris president - republican senate, with the senate refusing to have ANY HEARING on ANY NOMINEE by Harris for ALL POSITIONS.
Kamala conceding by noon. [sources]
