The 2024 United States Presidential Election Thread

[Smart Marx]

I kind of feel like there should be a rule where you have to have held office before being allowed to run for president

We can certainly pass a constitutional amendment to do that, but the idea was they didn’t want the presidency to be entirely for career politicians.

You gotta breathe, my friend. By the time the Rock supposedly runs, Trump’s idiocy will be over and voting for Rock won’t have anything to do with it.

For the record, I don’t entirely disagree with the notion voting for Rock would be stupid, though.

That's just it, it won't. Fascism infects like a virus, and one it decides to get its claws on a nation, it takes a violent revolution to unshackle the people from it. You'll fucking see.

And by then, I hope every GOP member that was ever licking Trump's long-dead and Mussolini'd boots gets lined up against a wall too.

to be fair I thought Biden would been a bit of better president. I think Kamala being tied to that is what did her in more than anything as I have said before if Bernie faces Trump in first run, I dont think Trump wins. I would of prob voted Bernie too.

 

[Smart Marx]

I’m only going to respond to this once because I know you’re really upset right now, and I have no desire to go round and round about this, but I have zero belief whatsoever that just because Trump wins a second term in office America will suddenly become Nazi Germany. Our country was founded specifically on a lot of checks and balances, and even if Trump tried to change the country into a dictatorship, he would not succeed. There’s a lot of people that have come out since Trump’s presidency first ended that have all detailed the ways they all basically curbed whatever nonsense he wanted to do the first time and that’s gonna happen the second time.

Besides, as you pointed out yourself bringing this back to the meme about the rock running for president you yourself said he was going to run on the Republican ticket and if you think that the rock is gonna suddenly become Mussolini in 2028 I think you got to reevaluate for a minute.

Honestly if you think about it for Kamala to win she would’ve had to do as well as or better than Biden.

That probably wasn’t gonna happen.

There was a small window where she was could’ve gotten a lot of the libertarian and centrists but unfortunately, a lot of recent politics forced her I guess to politic harder to secure the left vote against dumb people like Jill Stein, and that I think cost her a lot of that middle vote.

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

Fuck the middle vote. Centrists and single-issue voters should pick a lane or fuck off and die.

 

[Death By Looch]

No, the US won't turn into 1930s Germany immediately... but also no, this term won't go down the same way as his first one. It will be way, way worse, especially in the long run.

They do. They typically pick the right lane, but Trump had alienated so many of them. Kamala had the chance to secure their vote in this election. She just wasn’t able to do so.

 

[Kim Jong Umb]

regardless of who wins at the end of day if they dont like it you got chance next election to change it again. I think if we ever want real change too that a prominent 3rd party be nice to see someday. Anyway thats the last thing im saying in here because I dont want to fight either. I got so much other shit on my mind than to fight on here. I love you all and I respect whatever your political choices are .

 

[Sabretooth]

Especially now that he doesn’t have to worry about running for another term he can legit do whatever the fuck he wants.

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

So they're fucking stupid. Like most Americans.

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

Trump has the Senate, he has the Supreme Court who already dictated that Trump can't be prosecuted for official acts, and Trump already plans on cutting hundreds of key Federal departments. Like what the fuck are we talking about here? Things will not be fucking fine when he wins and goes into office. The DoD is not gonna be of fucking help when it ends up being all Trump cronies.

American politics and I say this, having no frame of reference for how it works anywhere else seems to be so intent on thinking everything is permanent even though they know another election is coming up in four years. I lived through the George Bush presidency when liberals and Democrats all thought that America was gone forever Because this guy they didn’t like was the president and then Barack Obama came around and all of a sudden everything was about hope. You just need the next candidate that unites everyone.
