2024 ELECTION THREAD
The next presidential race will be here soon! Please see current Bovada odds. Thoughts?
You can't give people food unless you either own food production supply chains or have something of value you can exchange with food producers for the food they have. Once fiat currencies fail, the government will have neither, unless they plan to sell off assets to exchange for food but that's only a temporary delay that still results in inevitable powerlessness.
Can you start a new thread for this? It doesn't have anything to do with the election.

Or they do like venezuela, ie they take the food producing companies if they refuse to sell for the fiat at the prices the government is willing to pay.
And your prediction is that this will happen within the next 4 years, correct?
Will you give me 100 to 1 odds on this? I'll take my winnings in USD, which will be worthless by the time the bet resolves, so it's a freeroll for you. In the event you win, I'll pay in crypto or tins of tuna or whatever you need at the time.
I don't expect this will placate the food rioters. Food riots are different because they don't end until the rioters either find something to eat or perish. Trump has some extra fat on his body but not enough to feed millions unless he really is Jesus.
how did this jesus fellow feed people?

You are predicting food riots in the United States? On what time table?
My first time coming into this thread and I must say worstneeds. election thread " ever. Stay on topic you nerds.

Harris needs independent there to break a lot better than 50% to win

On this day..... there will be zero tangents off-topic in this thread.
This is how the map will look like, if polls are systematically erring 3% to one side, or 3 % on the other side
So Musk points out that googling "how do i vote for Harris" yield very different results than "how to i vote for Trump" with the former giving you exact voting locations and so on.
Google answers that's because Harris is also the name of a county (as Vance is) and they will fix this asap.
Someone is scared Trump might win

How do I vote for Trump?
Google: take a crap into your hand and stuff it in your mouth
Imagine having to google how to vote for someone.
Yikes.
Record turnout in most states, and historically, high turnout = blue win. This is exactly why the republican party supports so many policies that tend to suppress voter turnout. This is one of the reasons early voting trends increased my confidence. Election day trends are reinforcing this.
The co-founder of Uncommitted National Movement shared Tuesday that he will be voting for Vice President Kamala Harris as the group — which ultimately decided to not endorse the Democratic nominee — has warned against former President Donald Trump.
“This is a moment where we have to look very clearly at what Donald Trump has planned for our communities and for Arab and Muslim Americans in particular,” Abbas Alawieh told MSNBC, adding that as a former congressional staffer who was at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, he is “no stranger the kind of violence and policy violence that Donald Trump intends to champion in our country.”
Alawieh added in the clip shared to the group’s X page that though he will vote for Harris, he hopes a “coalition” of voters, including those who voted for Harris, will put pressure on “the next administration to break from the policy of sending — of sending unconditional weapons and funding to the Israeli military.”
He continued: “The Arab American, Muslim American community for months have been oscillating between dealing with our grief, dealing with the fact that so many of our family members are there living under the bombs that our US government is sending Benjamin Netanhyahu, while also trying to do the politically savvy thing.”
More context: The Harris campaign has struggled with Arab and Muslim American voters, who make a critical voting bloc, especially in the battleground state of Michigan, over the Biden-Harris administration’s handing of the Israel-Hamas war.
On the campaign trail, Harris has often been interrupted by pro-Palestinian protesters, who have warned that anger over US support for Israel could depress Democratic turnout.
Last month, Harris met with Arab American leaders in Michigan, where participants encouraged her to distance herself from Biden’s approach to the conflict. The vice president has largely resisted describing how she might approach the conflict differently.

Bruh. I feel like they could have made way more of impact if they didn’t try to “withhold” their vote.
