2024 ELECTION THREAD
The next presidential race will be here soon! Please see current Bovada odds. Thoughts?
Yeah but we get democrats who say I’m moving to Canada if Trump wins
I’d be curious why folks feel Trump is a racist?
Policies or what he said ?
are you going to go off on a central park 5 are really guilty thing? or deny that he has been sued for racial discrimination in his businesses?
or better yet talk about how you don't understand disparate impacts of republican policies?

He doesn't outright say the N word if thats what you mean.
Its in the context and the subtext. Its how his supporters translate what he says. All non-white Americans are "thugs", "criminals", "hoodlums" etc.
Here are some things hes said though:
Told Jewish constituents "I'm negotiating like you folk"
Referred to the entire African American population as "the blacks" and that "laziness is a black trait"
Called Mexican and middle eastern immigrants "rapists, druggies, criminals"
Called Japanese people in America "the Japs"
I'm sure you could establish a list a mile long of things like that. Doesn't really take a genius to read between the lines
People don't care about that crap. It's just noise. What they care about is were they better off under Trump than they are under Biden. And a lot of them think they were.
They will vote accordingly.

Yeah, no is going to disagree with you.
Why do you think some people think they were better off under Trump?
get your facts staight
My quote is from a 1991 book in which Trump commented on in an interview "the stuff O'donnel wrote about me is probably true"
You have brain rot
LOL, this sounds like nonsense to me. I'd say you more than likely read someone else's poor "interpretation" of a poll or two, because I can't imagine you would be able to find multiple (even slightly) reputable polls that would show "we are getting trump either way now. that much is for certain, right? there is no way around it." Any polling I've seen has ranged from a 0-9% edge. Not remotely close to results that would indicate it's over 10 months before the election.
rococo, Im just giving you an insight.
If you knew the black music and hip hop scene and you would know.
you asking these questions tells me you are not familar at all
with this scene. I tell you because I know. they might not say it publicly bc they dont want to cause problems, but they are with kanye ynd vanilla a lot. watch the last video I posted, the business insider titled "rappers like trump" thats where your trump votes come fro
Ah, if only you all knew the "black music and hip hop scene" like washoe does. They don't get more relevant than Vanilla Ice! I mean, he last released an album only 12 years ago, and look at all the A-list celebrity stuff he's been up to since!
On September 15, 2013, Vanilla Ice performed at the halftime show of a Houston Texans game. Houston went on to lose the remaining fourteen games of the season, leading some players to blame Vanilla Ice for the losing streak.
In the Western comedy film The Ridiculous Six, released in 2015, Ice portrayed Mark Twain. He also had a non-speaking cameo in another Netflix movie; Sandy Wexler.
In 2016, Vanilla Ice competed on season 23 of Dancing with the Stars. He was partnered with professional dancer Witney Carson. They were eliminated on October 4, 2016.
On September 16, 2017, Vanilla Ice joined Insane Clown Posse in a free concert, the Juggalo March On Washington. Between 2015 and 2016, Vanilla Ice was one of the main headliners for the worldwide 'I Love the 90s Tour'.
On January 4, 2019, Dave Franco was cast to star as Ice in a biopic chronicling the rapper's life.
On December 31, 2020, Ice was the star attraction at a New Year's Eve party at President Trump's mansion Mar-a-Lago. The President himself was unable to attend, but Donald Trump Jr. captured Ice's performance on his cellphone. New Year's Eve 2020 was also the younger Trump's 43rd birthday. Notable attendees included Don Jr.'s girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle, Rudy Giuliani, Sean Spicer and others.
In June 2021, Ice narrated a BBC Radio 5 Live documentary podcast covering the theft of the racehorse Shergar.

The kids, they just can't stop talking about him!
there is no language barrier, Im a us university grad.
you just dont like or get what I say and that would be your problem or deficit. the only thing there is, is a difference in intelligence.
I don't know you personally so I can't truly assess your intelligence, but you sure seem to be trying to prove this with every post you make. Not in the direction you seem to think, though.

i think most people agree with your statement in the literal sense. it's just that we think these people you are talking about are dumb and/or bigots.
I don't know that trump is that sort of racist like, say, stephen miller. Trump could just give a rat's ass if anyone is a racist, or nazi, or whatever. As long as they kneel to him.
Trump's isms are power and money. Those that have it - good. Those that don't - screw you, but give me what you have anyway. Which makes the legions of trumpers all that more stupid.
so what you are saying is that Trump is the least racist in the federal govt?

and that is why the poorest states are all republicans.
they understand **** and always blame others instead of looking at their electoral representation.
and that is just fine , who cares as long it stays in their states but their ignorance is affecting an entire nation now...
What re democrats position boder policy should there be one or no?
As I've said before, the distinction between a "racist" and "a person who says racist things for person gain" is trivial and not worth parsing.
If you offered people a million dollars and all they had to do was say some racist stuff, what percentage of the population do you think would do it?
I know that's what you think. Which is yet another reason for them to vote Trump. To piss people like you off.
Well done.
Yeah, these guys will chop off their foot to "own the libs". Sounds pretty rational and intelligent to me!
You aren't really making any points here. Just kinda being passive aggressively bland

I have no clue. Steve King served nine terms in the House of Representatives, so the answer is probably "way too many." But with the exception of Pat Buchanan, I would be hard pressed to identify a major party presidential candidate in the last fifty years who courted white supremacists and racists as openly as Trump did.
Also, being willing to yell something racist on a street corner for a million dollars is quite a bit different than being willing to promote similar ideas through the enormous platform of a presidential campaign.

Except Trump met with black leaders and tried to make the black communities safer
Probably just so he can say he did but who cares
It's better than biden doing nothing for the communities and just believing they owe him their votes
By doing what exactly? It certainly wasn't by trying to shore up America's urban areas. Trump was more hostile toward urban areas than any president I can remember. That wasn't a surprise. People in cities were generally less supportive of Trump, and Trump has always been clear that he doesn't care what happens to people who decline to support him.

How are they chopping off their foot? They were better off under Trump or believe they were. So they're not chopping off anything. "Owning the libs" is just an added bonus.
But why give them even more incentive? That's the point I am trying to make. Didn't you guys learn anything from 2016?
