The 2024 presidential election

[Barkworm]

Polls are looking mediocre for Harris but a good economy is usually beneficial for the incumbent party.

I wish we could embed social media sites other than youtube on this forum. So outdated!

Anyway...

I'm feeling very confident about Kamala's chances. She's got most women, most latinos, most black voters fired up over all the BS that keeps being doing and saying on the Trump side. Not even worried. As long as people vote.

It's not about complaining on tiktok. Gotta vote. THEN you can complain on tiktok.

Republicans wanna sit there and pretend there aren't hundreds of thousands of puerto ricans who can vote in swing states. Buncha morons.

Imagine if Trump's own MSG rally ends up being his own October Surprise. One of his own making. I'm seeing it. Can't wait to see the voter numbers next week. One week from tomorrow!

Tariffs hurt his business. He's voting for Trump anyway

For almost 35 years, Wyoming entrepreneur Alan Chadwick has run his business importing clothing from China and selling the Western-style gear to stores serving "working cowboys" in the US.

Now, as former President Donald Trump campaigns on a pledge to hit all goods coming into the country with a 10%-20% tariff, or border tax, which would rise to 60% for goods from China, Chadwick is having to drastically rethink his strategy.
The 66-year-old has been exploring moving manufacturing of his products, like wool shirts with snaps and canvas jackets, to India or Pakistan - or perhaps closing his Wyoming Traders business, which employs 16 people, and retiring altogether.

Chadwick said tariffs were a "tax on the American people" and warned that the expense for a company like his of opening a factory in the US was unrealistic.

But as he prepares to cast his ballot,he expects to swallow his qualms about tariffs in favour of other priorities, such as illegal immigration and opposition to abortion.

"I will vote for Trump even though he's going to hurt our company if he does what he says he's going to do," he said.
Chadwick's readiness to look past Trump's views on tariffs is a sign of the contradictory impulses shaping American politics.

There are so many idiots in this country. Cultists can't help but go down with the burning building just like they did in Waco.

Quick note: I removed the arguing about Gaza; we had a thread that didn‘t work out, let‘s not drag the topic into this one (even though it‘s somewhat related).

Could you list some of those interesting points? I'm very wary of watching political content on Youtube.

Hardly, the US has spent $64bn to date aiding Ukraine since early 2022. So more like 18 months worth of aid to Ukraine then to get rid of illegals, not 3 months.

In the context of matters, the aid to Ukraine per year so far is still 2.5% of the overall yearly US military budget. Maybe trim that a bit to remove illegals?

One big takeaway is trump would need to see an uptick in male voter registrations and there has not been.

There used to be someone in the UK with this type of slogan in the past, and he was a peadophile too...!

[Zulithe]

Jimmy Savile yeah, I watched a documentary about him. I bet Trump and him would get along wonderfully.

[Vegita-San]

my first vote ever, and it's going to be for trump.

The Lefties have proven they are INSANE at this point, and this is an election where it finally feels like the outcome matters.

I feel like this time, there are alot of people like me.

As of June 30, 2024, since February 2022 the U.S. Congress had appropriated more than $174.2 billion in supplemental funding for the U.S. response to Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The most recent supplemental appropriation was signed into law on April 24, 2024 provided nearly $61 billion to address the conflict in Ukraine, of which approximately $48.4 billion will be administered by the DoD, $11.6 billion by State and USAID, and nearly $1 billion for other U.S. Government agencies.

"But it's all being spent on American-made munitions!" etc., etc.. So good that companies building missiles in the U.S. are getting some money. Does anyone even know anyone that works for a missile-building company? And what, is the hope that the guys at missile building companies that get the Ukraine contracts will take those bonuses and, what, buy extra stuff on Amazon? To go into sales tax to go to schools to better teach kids about systemic racism or something? I'm not sure how this is helping anybody.

This is the first time you've ever voted in your entire life? Aren't you in your mid-40's?

It's all they've got. Narrative twisting and dishonest tactics. Honestly after studying the psychology for years and knowing the habits of various criminals and their embedding tactics you'd be amazed at how these people hide themselves by literally saying their crime but putting it on other people. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if a few of the Harris supporters in this very thread are pedophiles or other deeply corrupted people themselves.

That's literally how people who embed in mania like this operate. The left tactic is to DO the very thing they claim they are fighting. Like Harris' interview routine - empty platitudes about "lifting up people" side-by-side with deep Trump-assaults, but nothing of merit. Literally nothing at all.

Honestly, despite all the Trumpamania stuff, the dude is only getting support from his regulars. He's not getting any new support. And doing stuff like calling out Detroit while in Detroit and other nonsense is not helping his case any.

Honestly after seeing the drama break down at his rallies all I see a whole bunch of people that would want to see me dead. Like, I don't see a single Hispanic or black person in the entire rally. The camera can't be panning to the only-white parts of the rally all the time. But I thought half the country loved Trump.

I mean let's be honest. I could show up at one of those rallies, wearing a Trump shirt and the cursed red hat, and they'd still want to deport me, if not beat the **** out of me. And my only crime would have been to show up support the orange goof which should be my god-given right as an American. But heeeey guess I'm just the wrong skin tone, eh?

Bob the Builder? Can't think of anyone else with the "fix it" slogan.

You've been listening to too much AOC. Or something.
