2024 Election Thread

Once upon a time, the vast majority of passionate anti-abortion advocates accepted that there should be exceptions for rape and incest. The revised notion nowadays that an embryo trumps a raped girl's life or a childless couple's ability for IVF is "pro-life?" is beyond the pale.
The change in tone between last night's Democrat Convention and this year's Republican Convention couldn't have been more stark.
When historians look back on the 2024 POTUS election, they'll note it was decided because one man put the welfare of his country ahead of himself versus another man who never looked beyond his own personal interests, even to the detriment of our country.

I agree with the Trump comments, but anyone who thinks that Biden put the welfare of this country ahead of himself is COMPLETELY DELUSIONAL
He was forced out. Obama and Jill Biden (at least) are furious about it.
If Joe Biden cared about this country, he would have stepped down a long time ago. He’s still acting like he’s president. If he can’t run, then why is he still president?
He’s spent the last few years farting and shitting himself in public when he wasn’t wandering off and babbling
The truth will eventually come out and THAT IS WHAT HISTORIANS WILL LOOK AT.
thought Steve Kerr and Hillary were the best speeches of night 1.
Biden’s was well ..Biden..you really get reminded on how he sucks at giving a speech especially the last few years when the Democrat that lost an election 8 years ago out shines you. He either sounds like his voice his shot or screams where it comes off a little too angry. Good thing that he dropped out bc that was probably 70% of his stump speech if he was still the Nominee.
How the hell was he 'forced' out??!? Biden had the delegates. If he was hell-bent on running against Trump in the General Election, NO ONE could have prevented him from doing so. If the roles were reversed and Trump was in Biden's position, would he have allowed himself to be 'forced' out?
The modern Presidency is as much (or more) about a candidate's 'national cheerleading' ability as policy decisions. Like a star athlete, Joe Biden thought he could keep going. But physically, he was showing his age. Yet psychologically, it's really tough to 'hang up the cleats' and retire when you've been super-successful.
Because being an effective leader is about decision-making. On the other hand, being an effective campaigner is about generating excitement and enthusiasm among the electorate. As Joe showed again last night with his Convention speech, he doesn't have it anymore. But -- Holy Cow, Kamala and Tim most certainly do!
If he’s not fit to run for office because of dementia, then he’s not fit to presently lead the country as sitting president. He’s being dangerously selfish
Biden was forced out and that’s why many democrats are pissed off. Obama, Michelle, and Jill Biden are just 3 examples. No one is talking about Trump, so stop your screeching. Again.
Biden admits he was pushed out of presidential race, name-drops Pelosi in first interview since exit
President Biden all but admitted he was pushed out of the presidential race by Democratic Party elites and specifically name-dropped former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in his first TV interview since the tectonic news last month.
Biden said that Dems in the House and Senate were worried that he’d drag down their chances of being reelected. He said he believed his reelection bid would face too many distractions if he carried on.
“A number of my Democratic colleagues in the House and Senate thought that I was going to hurt them in the races. And I was concerned if I stayed in the race, that would be the topic — you’d be interviewing me about why did Nancy Pelosi say [something] … and I thought it’d be a real distraction,” he told “CBS News Sunday Morning.”
normal people, when making an argument follow the form of "x is morally/intrinsically right, here's evidence to support such"
not you. your form is "x is right because in the future, people in places of institutional power will record it as such"
Biden is not suffering from dementia. He's 'suffering' from old age.
If you are not going to listen to the responses you get, why bother posting? When you are POTUS, you can't be pushed out if you don't want to. Joe clearly wanted to run again--that's why he ran in the Democrat primaries and won.
Nancy Pelosi couldn't force the President to do anything. Did key Dems encourage him to step down to help the Party's chances in November? Absolutely. No one here is arguing that point. But deciding not to run again is different than being told to clean out your desk 'cause you're fired.
When a coach does something terrible like berates a player publicly or commits sexual misconduct, he’s not always fired, but the immense pressure forces him to quit
That’s what happened to Joe Biden. The intense pressure for him to step down/quit forced him out
Based on what? Fox News? Biden was never the best orator in the world.
Again, if in the same position, would Donald Trump have 'bowed to the intense pressure on him to quit?'
Normal people don’t think Joe Biden stepped down for the good of the country. He fought it for a long time. Until the bitter end.
When you live in bum**** Nebraska, are retired, and don’t interact with people like the rest of the country (and avoid Jews and minorities), your mind is warped.

Based on observations of the ENTIRE COUNTRY other than you and probably Cubs.
Open your eyes. How many people do you interact with daily who are his age?

I don’t know of normal elderly people who act like that. He’s like 81. That’s nonsense
So you are an expert on the behavior of normal people? Do normal people on a discussion board make multiple posts in a row and spew personal insults?
unless a story is literally spoon-fed to this retard, he's unable to allow for inferences to be made.
NPR hasn't run an article on it yet, so it can't be true in his reality. and even if it were true in his reality, it would've still been Biden's decision.
Biden doesn't have dimentia, he's just old. Even if he did have dementia, it's not as bad as Trump
yes, its called social conditioning. also, you and your incel boyfriends are retards.
^^^^ This is why you are an insufferable POS and nobody wants to post here.
There are about 2 people in this world who think that you need to be an EXPERT to see that Biden isn’t acting mentally like the average 81 year old. 2 of them are in the WC. There would be 3rd, but Helen Keller is dead
Totally normal behavior. Nothing to see here. Biden has ALWAYS BEEN THIS WAY 🙄

You’re totally right. We’ll use you as the base alloy example of what’s normal.
Everything is Trump. Even when the discussion is not even about him
“But, but, but, but it’s an election thread!” SCREECH!!
Personal insults by Adolf Shuckler?
Check
Multiple posts in a row by Adolf Shuckler?
Check
Imagine quoting 4-5 paragraphs in the same response (Adolf) and thinking by just breaking it up that way, it’s so different than replying to different parts of one post with multiple replies. Which I did.
That’s the mentality that we are dealing with here.
nobody who supports either of the two even know what that means.
to them, finance terms = rich people = they deserve to be taxed to death.
apparently there hasn’t been any official release on unrealized gains tax yet.
It should be interesting to hear former President Obama tonight. When Kamala was endorsed by Biden, rumor had it -- publicly started by the talking heads at Fox News -- that Obama wasn't happy about it.
Their 'ace' news reporters came to that conclusion when Obama didn't immediately endorse her like Hillary and Bill did. To be fair, Harris and Obama have been friends for decades and Barack and Michelle publicly endorsed Kamala a few days after her candidacy kicked off, but you never know.
I never heard if that info satisfied the Fox News pundits. Who knows? Maybe those guys know something the rest of us don't. Maybe he'll shock the delegates and angerly slam Kamala tonight. I guess we'll find out....the tension mounts...

Watching last night's DNC, I couldn't help but feel a sea change washing over our political landscape. Hope, pride, and excitement for our future is replacing gloom, doom, and vitriol.
Kamala's campaign has completely reversed the script. And Trump knows it. His tired, old arguments are falling on deaf ears. If you've listened to his stump speeches the last two days, you see a guy with zero energy; he's simply going through the motions.
The contrast in the messages and the outlook for America couldn't be more stark. One of the messages from last night: We can disagree without being disagreeable.

> be leftoid cultist
> control the white house 12 of the last 16 years
> "wow it'll be so different if we win"
i genuinely think leftists have this notion that Bush and Trump were the last two Presidents
I always get a bit sad when I see Obama speak. I miss the days when he was president, when I was proud of how our country was represented to the rest of the world
