Presidential Election 2024

Dems don’t like humour in politics because it keeps them from doing what they do best which is identity politics. You see one of the Dems primary goals is tribalism. They have to segment you into a specific tribe, tell you how your tribe will be better with them. Humour in politics brings a human element to the equation that hampers their ability to put people in their appropriate identity tribe.

Tribalism is a problem on both sides where on the right the people take the place of the government officials. It's a social problem the same as it's a government problem.
 
How are yall comparing early voting and party numbers when I and many others voted for Haley..the polls think we are voting for Trump over Harris. Umm…Elon is gonna be in for a big surprise.

Morally, I cannot support someone who's been found liable for sexual assault in a courtroom. Trump is a horrible person regardless of his politics and shouldn't hold any position of power.

Some of y'all be talking just to be talking.

Trump has not been "held liable" (whatever that means) for sexual assault...

For the sake of our country, I hope your are right Lexx. I am not as convinced. We have already seen voting irregularities. Dems pushing rules to the limits. My cousin in Atlanta was told that she had already voted. Took her two days to get it straightened out so she could vote and she is a Dem who did vote for Kommiela. Point is her identity was used to cast a vote she didn’t. With all that is happening I wish I share your optimism.

I am convinced we will know tomorrow night.

I'm sorry, he was held liable for the sexual abuse and defamation of E Jean Carroll. My point still stands.

Fair enough.

It's a ridiculous point and a petty reason to base a voting decision on (not to mention, for most, it's coming from a position of privilege as such an individual can apparently can withstand 4 more years of high inflation and WWIII saber rattling under Harris), but I will defend your right to hold that view...👍
 
FWIW if you want to see the Dems truly tack towards being anti establishment and further to the right than what's already occurred to some extent (even if minor), you want them to be blown out period tomorrow (not just in the electoral college, but popular vote), and the likelihood of that is not high, sorry.

In a world where Trump wins, the establishment bench looks good for 2028 unless it's an outcome worse than 2016.

High inflation brought on by emergency economic policy made during the pandemic which the bulk of it happened during Trump's administration. I'm not even gonna entertain the WWIII point since people on both sides needlessly freak out about it all the time.

It's not a ridiculous point to not want a sexual abuser in a position of power
 

Here's another election prediction market to look at that shows Harris with a slight advantage heading into tomorrow. I hope there are a lot of male last minute voters like yours truly who are going to vote for Trump tomorrow to offset the advantage that early women voters have now. Two of three of the prediction markets I've been keeping my eye on have gone from Trump to Harris as far as winning the election this past weekend. No matter what happens tomorrow, the fallout will be felt for some time after this election.

I will bet you any amount of money you want to bet that you voted for someone in this election who is a sexual abuser on the same level as Trump unless you voted for all women. Like someone else said it's just petty. Just say you hate the M Fer period and be done with it. People will respect that a lot more

Very well put.

And frankly, there are plenty of other not-so-petty reasons for one to dislike Trump. Let's not die on that hill...
