2024 ELECTION THREAD

Is Trump whining about being inconvenienced and implying that they lack technical expertise like he did with NABJ?

He wasn't asked a hostile question so he didn't push back.

In fact he was proud of the technical difficulties because it showed how many listeners there were lol

He probably asked what a "DDOS attack" was, someone started saying "servers are overloaded due to too many requests because..." and he stopped listening.

I would confidently bet my life trump will use this to spin that the Kamabla campaign and/or deep state was afraid of this

The hilarious thing about that clip is that she calls Obama a Muslim and McCain responds with No, he’s a good man.

Just amazing.

lololol

I never really thought about this til just now

Good stuff

Poor Donald being pushed around by those black women asking nasty questions but very forgiving of the flailing of another psych patient. How kind of him.

In my memory, she called him a Muslim. But if you watch the clip, she actually called him "an Arab," which of course doesn't diminish your point.

Is there a risk that if Harris will drag American politics further left that we are going to get a further right candidate from the GOP in 2028?

further left then communism? you guys are going to need to make up some new slurs.

have you done the polling on Libunistism?

+1
It just show how ridiculous to think the far left is at the head of the Democratic Party .

Yes but I'm not expecting the Democrats to truly realise how left they would be dragging the party especially with no moderate on the ticket.

100%.

I'm sure he's already told his top guys to work on a new way to stream interviews that won't be susceptible to ddos attacks that his employees are too afraid to tell him is just television.

left of what? forcing 10 years olds to give birth?

It would be quite easy to get someone to the right of Trump, because trump is quite moderate and centrist on most stuff.

But I am not sure that would benefit republicans though.

For abortion in particular for ex

Of course it is about Trump. The man is a dishonorable fraud who incompetently manages through tantrums. He is also a criminal, fraud and rapist.

Propelling him to power is a Republican Party that has completely abandoned integrity, honor and respect for the law. This largely achieved by a MAGA movement whose connection to reality is tenuous, so everyone walks around with blinders on and pretends these things still matter.

The GOP and American conservatism has only itself to blame for what has come to pass. Next time, try putting the bar at basic human decency and go from there.

Trump

Cant
Understand
Normal
Thinking.

Maga is centrist lol .
The 3 sc Justice that trump put on there are centrist too .
How can anyone take this luciom character seriously ….

Nice example with the 3 SCOTUS judges nominated by Trump, who are on the left of Alito and Thomas, more moderate than them.

Agree. Democrat supporters should count themselves lucky it is Trump and not some other far right candidate from the GOP. Next election they probably won't be as lucky. The days for them of getting a candidate like John McCain are long gone.

"Regular folk should consider themselves lucky that Hitler isn't running" is a hot take.

One should never say never, but at this point it seems unlikely that the US conservative right is going to coalesce around a single candidate post-Trump. We don't really see evidence of anyone else rising to his level of popularity on social media that could take on the mantle. I also have my doubts we will see that, because "conservative" social media influencers are competing so hard for followers and donations that they end up preying on each-other. Which makes sense, that there is a lucrative business and they want their share before it dries up.

While not eligible for the presidency, we could perhaps look to Elon Musk as an exception to this trend. He racks it up in terms of followers. However, while he rises in fame, he drops in popularity and I've seen surveys claim he also drops in popularity among GOP supporters.

There is also this popular take that "the real danger is an intelligent and conniving Trump", one that is perhaps better at hiding his / her worst tendencies. I don't think that is too much to worry about either. I think Trump gained ground because he has no filter and his nonsense hit the zeitgeist of his time.

I'd be more worried about a GOP that has shown itself to be without much in the way of integrity or respect for the law.

I am no fan of most of Trump's policies, but ideological extremism isn't his biggest problem. Ideological extremism would require a commitment to abstract ideas that Trump doesn't have. "I am a god among men" isn't a real political ideology.

The country could weather a second term of Trump's erratic policies more easily than it could weather a second term of his unfitness, general lack of character, and complete disregard for anything other than his narrow self-interest.
