2024 Election Thread

This is how skynet starts its global takeover.

So, Mark Cuban asked ChatGPT which one of Biden or Trump is the better candidate based on the debate transcript. Here are the results.

I'm pretty sure Biden will drop out. They're trying to rally, but they won't be able to do it. Polling shows 72% of all voters think Biden is mentally unfit to serve. It's over. Like I mentioned before, donors dropping will be the final nail in the coffin. Hopefully the donors have the sense to drop him, and reporting sounds like they will. Many of Biden's supporters and friends have called for him to step aside now.

They can't even make the argument that Biden won the primaries, since several states were won by "uncommitted". This is so obvious.

I hope for Gretchen Whitmer (shore up Michigan!) or I've heard this Shapiro guy would be okay. I fear Gavin Newsom would lose. Man, he looks and speaks so much like Bale in American Psycho, it's eerie. His track record is pretty right wing/neo lib-shit too. Also, everyone hates California except Californians. There's no advantage to Newsome, I fear. But Democrats aren't exactly known for good strategy.

Did anybody see Nancy Pelosi defending Biden on CNN? Holy shit, it was like the crypt keeper acting as the hype man for Nosferatu! Hilarious stuff.

I'm just glad I can say this now without anyone here attacking me for stating the obvious about Biden, that he's beyond lost his zip on his fastball, he's had to shift to lawn bowling, then shuffleboard, and recently candy crush. The one virtue touted here over and over (his morals) has been completely absent in his genocidal decision making as well as his egotistical clinging to power despite his only argument (Trump beater) being annihilated. We shall see if the sycophants surrounding him see the writing on the wall, or if they even care.

Within the next 2 years, we could see US, Canada, France, and more, shift to fascist leadership. All because of centrist neo-libs like Biden, Trudeau, and Macron. "Scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds."

The Democrats better make the call to the bullpen before this game gets out of hand.

Before ?

My wife made me watch for about two minutes which was three minutes too many.

I'm enraged at the Democrats and Biden for going after a second term. I just assumed that the deal was a one-term president who was the most effective means to defeat Trump in 2020, since he was something moderate republicans who didn't like Trump could stomach, while the progressive left was willing to vote for him to oust Trump. I never envisioned he would be trotted back out there for another term. Total malpractice on the Dems part to not figure out who was going to be the future. That should have started on day 1 of the Biden presidency.

I think there's like a 70% chance Trump wins at this point. Barf.

That debate was such a fucking disaster.

I'd be surprised if Biden is alive by January. He's whispering to ghosts.

That was just about the worst disaster the Dems, and largely, America, could've foreseen.

Biden will have lost any and all goodwill with the American people if he continues his campaign. He should've decided a year ago that he wasn't going to run.

The fact that egos have destroyed everything that the Dems have done -- Biden, Hillary, RBG -- is astounding.

The upcoming Presidential election is looking uglier by the day. Voter turnout could plummet by November. I wish we had better options.

Yesterday was the Pennsylvania primary, which are closed (Dems can only vote in the Dem primary, etc) and had some interesting results:

- TFG got 83.5% of the vote, which means 16.5% voted against someone else not running. Nikki Haley received a whopping 155,829 votes,
- Joe Biden, otoh, got 93.1% of the vote, and only lost 68,046 votes to a non-competitor (Dean Phillips)
- Total turnout for Dems was 990,000 with 96% reporting, total turnout for the GOP was 940,000 with 100% reporting
- the difference in reporting also means Dems are still voting by mail in force, while the GOP still has not learned its lesson

I cannot see how this isn't a 5-alarm fire for the GOP in a key battleground state

Arizona's Supreme Court just sided with pro-lifers to overturn the 2022 law that was put into effect after Roe, instead reverting to an 1864 law - -that was passed before Arizona was even a state -- that completely restricts abortion and is punishable as a felony. In 2022, Arizonans were given an exit poll and 61% said abortion should be legal, and 75% of voters said they came out to vote because of it.

Just two weeks ago in ruby-red Alabama, a Democratic state rep won in a landslide after running on abortion and IVF rights.

Abortion (as well as the undying support of a rapey traitor) is the gift that keeps on giving for Democrats

Is this why they call it March Madness?

A Republican state representative in Michigan, Rep. Matt Maddock, claimed on social media on Wednesday night that he had photo evidence of “illegal invaders” arriving at Detroit Metro Airport.

One of the two photos Maddock posted on the platform called X, formerly known as Twitter, showed an Allegiant Air plane. The other photo showed three buses. Maddock wrote: “Happening right now. Three busses just loaded up with illegal invaders at Detroit Metro. Anyone have any idea where they’re headed with their police escort?”

Facts First: Maddock’s claim is false. The buses were not for “illegal invaders”; they were for the men’s college basketball teams that landed at the Detroit airport to compete in the NCAA tournament known as March Madness. The only Allegiant Air flight to the airport on Wednesday was a charter flight that carried the team from Gonzaga University, which plays Purdue University on Friday.

Hundreds of social media users quickly disputed Maddock’s post on Wednesday, but Maddock refused to concede. He replied to one of the many people who pointed out the plane and buses were likely for NCAA basketball teams: “Sure kommie. Good talking point.”

Maddock continued to dig in on Thursday morning. He wrote a new post saying, “We know this is happening” and that hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants are “pouring into our country.” He added: “Since we can’t trust the #FakeNews to investigate, citizens will. The process of investigating these issues takes time.”

Jimmy Kimmel humiliates TFG on the Oscars after he posted a rant about him, saying "What are you still doing up? Isn't it past your jail time?"

Nikki Haley drops out of the race. The Biden vs Trump rematch is on. Sigh.
