Election 2024: The Fate of Democracy
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.
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.
303abuser The electoral collage and the insane gerrymandering that is allowed makes the popular vote a nearly useless statistic.
Which just confirms the whole process is a sham. Clinton had something like 2M more votes in 2016 and still lost.
Anyway, the point being his total in 2020 will not be reached this time around and in those swing states Democrats have generally been cleaning up. Outside of the twitter alternate reality where plenty of idiots like to measure the race from, the Repubs are in dire trouble.
303abuser the only thing in Trump’s favour are the tech billionaires and dark money being funneled in from god knows where. That seems to have been bettered by the money being pumped into the Harris campaign so the tech bros will have to keep pumping more in, whether they have the gumption for that or not we’ll see. The voters seem to be irrelevant. The ugliest election in living memory.

Here’s the lay of the land, Alistair.
If I was ever unfortunate enough to be in the same room as you on one of your much publicised, non eventful, cringey social gatherings, I would be well within my rights to end your night fast and send you to the emergency room for having a dig at me about a murdered friend, you absolute fucking weasel.
Take your shit banter and your shit name somewhere else.
Word of advice? Lol
I joined the Bedrock board back in 2004 and over the years have witnessed all manner of cunts get the piss ripped out of them for their shit taste in music, trabs, clobber, movies, food etc. If you think a blow-in such as yourself is immune to piss-taking, then this is not the place for you. The fact you can’t handle it and stoop to a dig about a murdered friend says so much about you.
You’ve been clocked since your first post around here and you deserve every piss take you get for your own unique brand of cringe posting. If you dont like it then you can scurry off like the little rat you are from whence you came.
Trump sure seems to want Biden back desperately. Man is writing his own fan fiction.
Can you imagine what Kamala’s clunge looks like?
Like someone had volleyed a lasagne.
