Election 2024: The Fate of Democracy

RichM much like the Republicans in the 1980 election using the evangelicals to secure a new huge voting bloc, they did the same with Elon who brought with him millions of undecided voters. Many of which probably voted for Biden in 2020. He then dangled millions of dollars in front of desperate, ignorant voters to drive it home and Rogan’s “endorsement” hoovered up what was left of the incel UFC crowd. All in all a huge number of new votes compared to 2020 and more than enough to swing it.

Hursty he’s all over it, so I’m guessing if it does appear, chunks will be redacted for ‘reasons of nation security’

Hursty and the JFK files and this and that and the other thing. None of which he will do because not only would he be on the list, but he’s a filthy lying cunt. Here’s a thread to get your teeth into. When hes rotting in the grave people will only then realise having a “modelling competition” and attached agency was an obvious ruse for a paedo, its too late now though. The fact many in DC back him, including the Supreme Court, it makes you wonder just how big the whole seedy affair is and the level of its participants. Trump has dirt on them all.

Any idea where those 15m dems voters went!?

Is ‘the special relationship’ specifically for ‘special’ people?

Sleepy Joe being thrown under the bus. Just as well he’s “sharp as a tack” so as to avoid the collision.

Decent summary from Pie

Along_the_Wire thank you, Xx to you too

LT42 will read that tomorrow. I didn’t think someone like him would add that much value. But am prepared to be proved wrong

LT42 according to this Republicans lost about 4% of their voters compared to 2020

So when you say “new voters” do you mean that a large number of the ones who voted in 2020 didn’t show up but were subsidized/replaced by Tesla employees and UFC fans?

I would have preferred Harris on balance, but it is joyous to see people like Homegrove and all the Yanks in Beijing with a massive sulk on.

deadhead we’re not doing high level algebra here. I’m sure you’re aware of the concept of swing voters? Those who voted blue last time, voting red this time. Mind blowing stuff, I know. Elon, normally a Democratic voter, moved the needle in swing states because people were essentially voting for him rather than Trump, you could say.

Democrats shouldn’t minimise the effect Elon, Rogan, and 3 hour bro podcasts have on the whites.

Its also clear a lot of people just said fuck it, whats the point in voting anymore. Clearly a bad idea in this case but you can understand why.

303abuser Their addiction to identity politics is electorally toxic.

alistair If you think identity politics is exclusive to the Dems then I’ll just assume you read that somewhere and are parroting it without thinking for yourself. Did you miss the whole “woke” campaign thats been going on for the last 10 years? The Tea Party back in 2008? Or the evangelical movement that started in 1980 that changed the face of the Republican party? Identity politics is nothing new and is one of the main reasons the US is so divided, blaming Dems for that is myopic.

LT42 Well considering I’ve been fully aware of Putin’s campaign during last week’s elections in Tblisi and his ongoing campaign in the USA, yes I did expect an upset.

Never in doubt, LT!

LT42 it’s not identity politics if it’s keeping women and minorities hidden, silent and under the thumb apparently.
