COMMUNITY The Official 2024 Presidential Election Thread

[Los216]

*sigh* I was ready to not have to care about politics for a good while, but now I’ll have to pay attention even more than I planned originally.

The idea that politics are optional or that you don't have to pay attention to them has always been a farce. Politics are ingrained in all of our everyday lives. There's nothing wrong with acknowledging that and acting accordingly.

 

[Mr.LV]

I seriously want Trump to do it, let’s start Mass Deportation in 2025 and beyond. Let’s make sure President Trump follows through

 

[TheNightKing]

IEP's will still exist. They'll just start defunding the schools which will make it harder to maintain those types of services.

They won't simply just eliminate them. They'll kill them slowly whole installing their right wing agendas like Bibles in the classroom.

They’ll implement school choice and kids will be funneled out of black communities. For the kids left behind because they can’t afford to go to another school or can’t gain acceptance, funding will plummet and those schools will get even worse, kicking off a generation of black kids being even worse off than they are now.

Or they’ll let states handle it and good luck to black kids in deep red states.

But sitting out for reparations is more important so I guess that’s ok.

 

[Los216]

It’s like I said I’m the other thread, this suggests operating in a vacuum where what you offer one group doesn’t turn off another.

Trump didn't even offer that group anything though and they're refusing to acknowledge that

 

[SneakDZA]

I'm scratching my head trying to figure out how reparations would have helped win an election that was clearly decided by closet and overt racists.

Who said anything about making folks happy??

You offering healtcare to SR citizens, do you think folks in college will get mad??

You're offering child care for parents, do you think folks without kids will get mad??

You worrying about what the Asians "who is getting something" will say on what black folks want and need??

DId you get mad when she offered something to a sector of folks that you weren't apart of? No

Don't try and use that logic with this simple solution

 

[Los216]

I think the term People of Color (POC) officially died yesterday

 

[LurkerSix]

thought this was interesting & now that i think about it, i have met a few people that dont like Trump, but said they arnt voting for w/e dumb reason

 

[Tayboo]

Yeah. And to folks of a certain age bracket getting some of those old guard Republicans on her side didn't do much favors. Like if you're in your mid to late 30s or early 40s you vividly remember just how damaging and dangerous folks like Dick Cheney were. To court them really didn't show she was going to be as liberal as people wanted her to be

True. I also feel like they didn't use Tim Walz enough either. Minnesota isn't really that liberal at all and Walz has the ability to reach those blue collar white voters. He speaks their language, yet they wanted to campaign with Liz Chaney...

 

[Knock_Twice]

Trump can do that, She can't.

Better yet. Let's do it your way then pal.

The next dem candidate run on the same energy trump runs on since you think this is the solution and see what happens.

Let's go with your logic since offering things to voters who you want their vote from to win the election is not the move. Trump didn't do it, so let's encourage the dems to do it "even though they do it" but let's do it like Trump

Let the next dem candidate run off that energy.. Let's see what happens.

Kool?

 

[Disanthrope]

The Pro Blacks (Gotta come up with a better name big dog) haven't been proven right on anything because they have no agenda or plan. Anybody can talk. They just do a lot of talking from the sidelines and are too scared to actually get in the game.

Tell me more, loser

tell me more while you find your mouthpiece after getting knocked the fuck out

You've been babbling for 4 years and you got your ass kicked. it's time for some reflection, not more babbling.

Why should anybody take your word for it?

It's time to stop slinging your incorrect opinion around, you lost, act like it

When Biden tried to give people student debt relief a lot of people were mad.

You’re being overly simplistic about this. It’s much more complicated than you seem to understand.

 

[Ghostdenidagod]

It’s so many black and Spanish people coming out last second on my timeline admitting they voted for trump that where pure anti trump a few years ago,

And it’s lowkey they rather vote a white man no matter how shitty he is than a black women

Child hood friend of mines she always broke always asking for money idk what she’s going though( Hispanic) comes out today “ America is now unburden from what has been” in like wooooooww bitch I’m the middle class don’t ask for no more money you voted against my pockets mfrs

I think you want it to be more complicated to justify that L.

It's not complicated, the whole NOT offering shit to folks from the Dem party has ran it's course. She can't do that, the dems can't do that anymore and expect to win.

Going forward the dems have to put together "packages", Let's give it a cute name or such, Let's call it "Care Packages" for each voting block group that will match what that particular group wants and run on it


This is how the DEM Party can win again.

 

[Disanthrope]

Sorry, Barack Obama stole my cape

 

[Knock_Twice]

You didn't answer the question. What package did Trump put together for Latino's? The answer is that he didn't have one.

Trump/Rep can run on not giving out packages. The Dem party can't do that and expect to win

You my boy think that the reps and dems shoot at the same basket, they don't. The DEMS have to do more, especially now since they got spanked in everything


They need "Care Packages" for each group going forward if they wanna win shit again. The voter under 55 that's voting will be lookin for something for their vote, if not, they will sit their happy ass at home and let shit burn.

 

[Big_Ev]

All of this back and forth on who was right or wrong ain’t going to help the fact that it’s done and over with. Now we need to come together and plan for us, now and for the future.

 

[Disanthrope]

They gotta quit with the middle of the road, reach out to the other side, olive branch politics. I honestly think Kamala spent way too much time trying to court Republicans instead of drumming up and speaking directly to their base.

What about all that time she spent sista girling?

What about all the entertainers she kept wheeling out?

She didn't court us correctly let alone the opps

 

[Lord Nemesis]

True. I also feel like they didn't use Tim Walz enough either. Minnesota isn't really that liberal at all and Walz has the ability to reach those blue collar white voters. He speaks their language, yet they wanted to campaign with Liz Chaney...

He was the only reason I thought she’d maybe have any shot of winning. Definitely didn’t lean on him enough

The answer is the equivalent of a Left Wing extremism to counter right wing extremism that can be spearheaded by an overwhelmingly popular Left Wing figure.

This is why the answer for who Democrats should run will undoubtedly be a celebrity. A career politician like Shapiro, Newsome, or even AOC doesn't check the necessary box of separating the left wing ideas and extremism from the establishment agenda of the party.


Dave Bautista
The Rock
Leonardo DiCaprio
Chris Evans
Tom Hanks


It will have to be someone who has the appeal to a wide range of people and the aptitude to seize the moment.

Lol that would be a horrible decision. Dems would lose worse than they just did if they elected a damn celebrity
