Election 2024: The Fate of Democracy

yeah she laughs quite a lot. She must be mad

alistair “Woke is an adjective derived from African-American Vernacular English (AAVE) originally meaning alertness to racial prejudice and discrimination. Beginning in the 2010s, it came to be used as slang for a broader awareness of social inequalities such as racial injustice, sexism, and denial of LGBT rights.”

What exactly is wrong with woke Alistair?

Homegrove What exactly is wrong with woke Alistair?

In fairness to the original intent, the far left has completely lost the plot by creating more division in an attempt at equality.

303abuser Walz is a perfect pic because the far left can compromise with him. Shapiro with his IDF-past and pardoned murderers not so much.

Homegrove I don’t know too much about Walz, but from what I’ve seen, I’d agree that he looks like the right choice. With the exception of outliers like Palin though, the choice of running mate rarely moves the needle for voters. I still think Harris is the problem and is going to lose, we’ll see.

Also at least in professional politics in the US talking about far left is laughable from a Scandinavian perspective. Bernie and the Squad would be centrists here.

Homegrove oh FFS, talk about missing the point. Have you seen Veep?

Homegrove Absolutely, the US is shifted to the right, even compared to Canadian politics. That said, the far left is just as bat shit crazy as the far right, they’re just not quite as dangerous.

Along_the_Wire So was Hillary.

303abuser This isn’t 2016

alistair Tell me how that clip blathering on about woke is going to help her win over the undecideds/soft Trumpers in those key swing states?

…swing voters don’t vote every 4 years based on how good or bad clips are, you fucking melt

LT42 Says a notable psephologist. Found another accountant yet?

alistair thats the comeback of a 13 year old girl, but ok. Not surprising in the least.

Along_the_Wire Somewhere around half of the American population watched trump in power for four years, watched him attempt to disavow a fair election, watched him become a convicted felon, and have decided they want to see more of that. The only difference between now and 2016 is that they’re walking into it fully aware of who they’re voting for.

alistair how does it hurt? People who get offended and scared by the word woke surely are not going to vote a black woman anyway.

It’s funny how many people in my socials are surprised Kamala picked the right white guy. Democrats have been so bad at this for so long.

303abuser around a quarter of the population voted for him and he still lost the popular vote. He also lost the popular vote in 2016. He was an unknown quantity in 2016 and people were willing to give him a shot. 8 years later, an insurrection down, multiple indictments, impeachments, convictions and fatigue from the lies and fear mongering should kill him off for good. His base aren’t going anywhere of course, but they are not 70M votes. Nowhere near.
