2024 ELECTION THREAD
The next presidential race will be here soon! Please see current Bovada odds. Thoughts?
It's possible to buy BTC and BRK, and more at the same time! As long as you don't decide you won't invest in a company because of some crazed ideology.
GOP has always been anti tech and they're horrible for the economy overall.
No. The stock market is forward looking, and is indicating there is no expectation a Trump presidency would be anti tech or horrible for the economy overall.
I heard Jill made joe a sandwich. This supplied him energy that he will use to run. Jill wasnt being a supportive wife when she made the sandwich, it was actually a clever ploy as part of her plan to remain first lady.
History is the indication. GOP has been bad for the economy and MAGA were the most incompetent administration...ever? And now they're literally nazis.
It comes down to Chuck and Nancy and Clygoat have to go to him and be like “If you don’t drop out we’re going public and saying you’re senile”.
Chuck ready to get rid of Fit Biden. Wonder why he'd want to since one would need to be crazy to think Biden was unfit.
Unfortunately Newsom is a communist. Can't be him.
Don't have enough of a read on Whitmer, so no comment there.
Kamala is terrible and polls worse than dementia Joe. She won't win.
Who else is there? Michelle? Wouldn't mind seeing the party stray the from insider c*cksucking team.
What narrative or policies newsom has to make such a claim ?
There is no way newsom would be more communist then trump being a fascist in my mind but I will give u the benefit of the doubt .
So what newsom did ?
The current federal laws leave gender affirming care to parents and the medical community. As we do with childhood cancer, anxiety disorders, autism and a host of other medical issues. Religious nutters and weirdo cultural warriors want to pass new laws taking the decision making power on gender affirming care away from parents and the medical community. Regular people are fine with doctors and parents making these decisions and not gove
Introducing pointless government bureaucracy into ordinary **** like public bathrooms is bread and butter stuff for today's GOP. "Freedom" means freedom for scam artists, not for regular people and their medical care.

I think presidents are overrated in relation to the economy, a sample size of a half a dozen doesn't tell much. But a super shitty prez could obv tank the market - but Trump didn't even do that.

I'd imagine the algos are already hammered with digesting earnings of 50K companies as opposed to figuring out presidential odds when no one has voted.
I don’t think this is actually true. Trump wants what any sociopathic guy wants to shame and humiliate his opponent. Always shaming.
I saw trump not attacking biden and I thought it was very respectful of him. I woulda ripped into biden for his ****ed up and slow responses. Trump just gave him his space....why?

plus with how pathetic brandon is rn people would find it cruel for trump to pile on
tbh i didn't think he had the restraint, but it is smart to just shut up and do nothing in this case

I think this is mostly correct, although Trump is also getting older. Hes not the same guy who ran in 2016. He isnt as funny or as quick witted as he was.
trump also isn't really shutting up. i think he's still just brainworms "truth"ing into the void that is that ponzi scheme of a social media site, it just doesn't have much reach.
This.
I think we've seen what happened in societies that took this to the extreme and tried to implement dictatorship of the proletariat. Spoiler: they did not eliminate elites, just changed their membership.
It's a bit like the "top x % of individuals by wealth hold y % of the wealth" argument. Well, yeah, pretty much by definition and the law of large numbers (or alternatively, the Pareto principle). It doesn't mean that the membership of
Oh you guys.
I never said it was some great insight that the US is dominated by corrupttion and elites. I said to not recognize that is like believing in q.
I did not call for a dictorship of the proletariat. I pointed out that in this very country, within some people's living memory, it was a national scandal that donors paid for Nixon's airfare. Was everyone a Marxist back then?
That was around the time we built the interstate hwy system: a massive public project that helped us all. What happened to those?
Wheras now, we are expected to just accept as normal that candidates have already accepted millions to 100s of millions in direct personal payments from the people they will be overseeing.
Not coincidentally, we actually reduced military spending under Nixon. During the cold war! That is now inconceivable, in peace time. Just like there's basically no chance of us doing anything significant about the climate.
There are many countries all around the world that are not run by private duopolies. There are many countries that attend to basic quality of life issues of the GP, though they are much less wealthy. My ex's maid had a bad back and got it fixed with 100% free surgery and high quality care. In Brazil. I am currently skipping medical care cuz it would cost 2-9k, with $350/mo insurance. (It's not serious).
Walk into an American prison. 3 out of 4 people you see would be free if they'd been born british.
If you're 40, about 400,000 people have been intentionally killed on behalf of scam HC insurance companies during your life. Biden has said he'd veto reform.
But you guys are right. WS investing over 10 billion a year in corruption isn't corruption. Probably has no impact at all. The people who run Goldman and Raytheon are just really dumb.
They all really believed Iraq was a threat to the US. They earnestly think it's just good policy for young people to start out 100k in debt to the people who paid for their $30 million summer houses.
ES2, you're strawmanning. I don't think anyone here disputed anything you're arguing above. My post, which you quoted, certainly isn't.
I obviously agree with this, but if one's view was that parents should have the say in genital mutilation for their children, is it much of a leap to say that parents should have the decision on sexualizing their children?
You'll have to ask that to someone else, as I'm the most anti-parent person here. I think parents should have very little say about anything.
I also don't support transitional medical treatment for minors.
yeah
