2024 ELECTION THREAD
The next presidential race will be here soon! Please see current Bovada odds. Thoughts?
There’s a difference between saying “lower skilled jobs that can be opportunities for poorer communities” and “Black jobs”. Come on you can’t be that dense bro.
So Republican voters trust "local republicans" (even though they have the most reps that are out of district between the two parties), assuming their goals align w/ the elites they have nothing in common with?
Hmmm... And Republican voters trust these people to represent them, but they don't trust government on the whole?
How does any of that make sense to you? Seriously curious.
Yes they do check polls about approval of the local elected people vs congress in general there are often 50+ points of gap (with the local congressperson usually in the middle).
Elites do deliver on some stuff rural republicans want. Those are the people who want "to trigger libs" for example and elites deliver on it all the times.
And the 2a. They deliver on that and that's a big one. And now roe vs Wade reversal.
Rural republicans aren't needy bitches who want constant welfare doled out at them and whine endlessly otherwise. They know government sucks so any win is more than they expect
He is quite the contradiction yes.
Meaning, The job of President of the United States of America is designated for a black person? Idk how else to logically interpret what is being said lmao
People are really mindblowing
I understand she's mocking him, but at the same time, is this not exactly what she's saying?
Donald Trump Jr. just endorsed the idea of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. joining the Trump administration as potential CIA director.
+1000 for the lols
Am I missing something? Michelle Obama made a joke about the job of president potentially becoming a "black job" in reference to Trump previously having used that term to describe some jobs and that sparked this rant from Luciom? Like the entire point she is making with the joke is that racialising jobs is ridiculous but somehow Luciom is ranting about her for racialising the Presidency?

What you see as a joke I see as a racist dog whistle.
Which is allowed ofc, but am I allowed to dislike it?
It's not redicolous to claim blacks have jobs that more often than other ethnicities jobs are in competition with low skilled or illegal immigrants, because it's factually true and you know it is!!!

I mean she even provides the context and somehow you still see it as racist dog whistle. I think you're wrong on this one buddy.

You got it boss. An obvious dig at something ridiculous uncle Trump said is what got Luciom all heated.
Kamala honeymoon coming to an end. Lots of time left until election, but looks like she's settling back into reality, at least from the betting markets.
Wow, right wingers really doing stellar work ITT to disprove that they are a miserable, humourless bunch of *****. Crack on.
Atta girl Kamala

Seems about the size of it. Humour is not for everyone.

Of course you can dislike it but you look like a completely insane person to go off about a joke in the way you have done here.
And your last sentence is very, very different from saying a job is a "black job". The statement that black people disproportionately have those types of jobs is true but calling those types of jobs "black jobs" is an actual racist dog whistle in that it is directly linking working those lower skilled jobs, something that has no inherent racial factor, to race. It's also still ultimately inaccurate because while percentage-wise it might be more likely for a black person to have one of those jobs, in absolute terms there are still vastly more people of other races doing them.

RFK decisions can matter a lot. Yes it's not many votes but given the margins in some states it can be huge anyway.
I think that's what driving very recent trump recover in betting markets
