2024 ELECTION THREAD
The next presidential race will be here soon! Please see current Bovada odds. Thoughts?
These problems all become exponentially worse with GOP vs Democrat rule. MAGA now poses the threats of retribution,theocracy, and Project 2025.
people have been voting dem for our entire lives. they win the popular vote pretty much every time. when they hold power they don't do anything with it.
they openly collude with republicans. they are on the same team.
people have been telling me to vote for the lesser of two evils for decades. look at where it got us.
voting for Dems is not the answer
I'm pretty much preparing for a Trump win.
I think I'm in the acceptance phase now. Denial is gone. Anger is there a bit.
I've always been enthusiastic that DT is the GOP candidate because he lost by so much in 2020. He's only gotten crazier since then which should narrow his support further. I don't understand why he's favored. America as we know it is gone if GOP wins and potentially if they lose when they revolt again.
If Trump wins will a bunch of celebrities flee the country like they promised to last time? That would be one good thing to come out of this.
I’ve always wondered… and hear me out guys:
What if nobody voted in a massive boycott. What would they do? Would they still elect a president? How would they do it?
To state the obvious, it would take more than a massive boycott to create the conundrum you are imagining. It would take a complete boycott. if only 99.9% of people boycotted, then they would just count the votes as usual.

Don't you want Western civilization, or at a minimum the USA, destroyed? Since 99% of us dont have these aims, why should we be following your instructions? Seems I should be doing the opposite of what you recommend.
Look I understand thinking neither trump or biden or republicans or democrats will advance the country, I can’t even dispute that
But only one side has the appetite and will and resolve to take things away and has demonstrated a desire to turn this into a nation ruled by a perverted idea of Christianity. I mean ffs you’re posting on an ONLINE POKER FORUM. Does the name bill frist not resonate with anyone?
Also the literal audacity in that textual vomit to say ‘the Supreme Court is what runs the country’ when in 2016 people had a mad that bernie didn’t get more votes than Hillary, didn’t win the nomination, took their ball and went home because they thought hillary and trump were the same and owed to that decision there’s a conservative supermajority in the Supreme Court that has thrown impartiality out the window are are just doing whatever they can to create regressive rule
But hey don’t sweat it, when Christian autocracy becomes the rule of the country I’m sure you’ll get your unicorn progressive candidate who no doubt will win cuz democracy is still a thing

Can you eli5 what trump/GOP will do to destroy USA? I'm not being sarcastic or facetious, I truly don't know. Think I'm missing something about why people hate him. Yes he's a buffoon and talks in sound bites, but what harm does he actually bring?

Decide for yourself how much of this is legit and how much is liberal horseshit I guess. For context this was before presidential immunity was a thing
lol wild

People “massively boycott” primaries and local elections all the time. Whoever gets the most votes is declared the winner.

What will they do? Hard to say.
What will they try to do. Stay in power. It's pretty much a guarantee that he will not leave office on his own at the end of his term. Not sure who will make him leave either.
My guess is the military but who knows. There's a decent chance he replaces any of the brass that doesn't kneel to him.

The concern is that he won't leave office in 2029 at 82 years old after his second term as president? If that's the main concern I'm not too worried lol.
what are you trying to preserve? the supreme court is the country. global empire is the country. millions in prison, homeless, climate change, micro plastics, no health care, pathetic education, cops, landlords, etc
Biden/trump is the country
As compared to the previous generations of cops, healthcare, prisons, environmental regulations, working conditions and govt assistance.
But yeah, social media has really ****ed up a lot of peoples mental state in the last 10 years and it leads them to feeling as if they are living the terrible life as they keyboard their misery inducing talking points from other ****ed up individuals to others on the internet
And, by the way, we have NO checks and balances any more. The congress is supposed to check the president. The republicans have already proved that won't happen. The supreme court is supposed to be a check, but they just granted the president immunity.
Those are pretty big steps towards a dictatorship.

Trump meets privately with Putin and then gives Putin top secret spy info. Then all of our assets in China get killed at once
I wonder why
Trump would absolutely give intelligence to putin. Not a doubt in my mind.
