Election 2024: The Fate of Democracy

Homegrove

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 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.

alistair

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

alistair

@Homegrove Get out of the echo chamber for a moment. 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? Perhaps she’d be better advised to get out of the morning TV studios and go and see some factory workers or farmers and talk about unionised labour, jobs, workers rights etc. My bet is she would win.

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

Homegrove

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.

303abuser She’s beating Trump in the polls - needs to work on the swing states, buts it’s a decent start

303abuser

Along_the_Wire So was Hillary.

303abuser This isn’t 2016

303abuser

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.

LT42 Just to fuck with your ASSBURGERS I did a search in that thread and can’t find myself ever writing this word, because I wouldn’t. So dragging me into this conversation must mean your ASSBURGERS is out of control. You fuckin ASSBURGER cunt.

LT42 …swing voters don’t vote every 4 years based on how good or bad clips are, you fucking melt

Oh dear…

I falsely mentioned what thread it was in, but:

Oh dear… 🤔

LT42

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

alistair

LT42 I really don’t want to know about your arguments with 13 year old girls 👀

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.

Homegrove

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

LT42 should

Yes it should, but it’s going to be very close. The electoral collage and the insane gerrymandering that is allowed makes the popular vote a nearly useless statistic. The reality is that their elections are decided by a handful of swing states.

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

LT42 You’re way more optimistic than I am.

LT42

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.

303abuser

LT42 It’ll be a mess no matter who wins. Either you end up with a 2nd trump term or violence that makes Jan 6th look tame. The one thing trump has exposed is how legally weak the American constitution is and how easily corruptible their institutions are.

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.
