2024 US Presidential Election Thread

[Pupik]

When the man claiming to be fighting for democracy is shuffled aside, and all these votes are completely disregarded, that seems rather undemocratic, doesn't it?

Change is inexorable, dude.

What about the millions more that voted for a criminal, zealot, and traitor? They can surely have their vote back, and we'll call it equal.

LOL, looks like someone came back after having a complete meltdown. Changed his name & his signature to have a permanent cry.

democrat party coup

You can also tell this guy follows those dumb ass accounts like End Wokeness b/c they're only ones throwing around the word "coup". Last I checked, Biden's still in charge & will finish out his term.

And why is it that he's still somehow not being called to resign or have the 25th amendment be enacted to force that

So which is it? He's had the nomination "violently seized from him" yet he should also be forcibly resigned? Wants his cake & eat it, too.

Good thing we're constantly told by right wing chuds we're acktually a constitutional republic, not a democracy then.

No. Until the delegates pledge at the convention, the votes in a primary don't mean much. If it were after the convention, there would be an issue, but before? Nope, because it's not the voters who choose the candidate. It's the delegates.

It's weird that we have all these people expressing and discussing different points of view, but when we remove posts that grossly violate the Acceptable Use Policy (to which all users agree to follow before joining the site) it's always because we're censoring people for expressing different points of view...

So, why, after the debate, where everyone on the left could see what everyone on the right knew for four years prior that Joe was in severe cognitive decline (link:https://townhall.com/tipsheet/leahbarkoukis/2020/08/06/what-dan-bonginos-sources-have-told-him-about-biden-n2573855 ), did all the democrats call for Biden to step down before this? And why is it that he's still somehow not being called to resign or have the 25th amendment be enacted to force that? Rather peculiar...

Because he's been called to step down strategically due to poor polling after the debate, not because Democrats are conceding that he's unfit to be president due to "severe cognitive decline".

Also, if you were one of the 14 million who voted for Joe in the primary, how do you feel about this democrat party coup that lead you all along, convinced you he was mentally sharp (link:https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politi...ss-and-says-he-has-complete-confidence-in-him ), and then pulled the rug out from under all of you just before the convention? When the man claiming to be fighting for democracy is shuffled aside, and all these votes are completely disregarded, that seems rather undemocratic, doesn't it?

If they're not happy about the Democrat on the ballot in November, they can vote for someone else.

(Not sure why I'm entertaining a post that is almost certainly in bad faith, especially since it seems like you're either a bot or, more likely based on your signature, a banned user who came crawling back with a new account.... I guess I'm just bored. )

Firstly, the 25th amendment only applies if the president dies, resigns from office of their own volition, or is forcibly removed from office via impeachment. Death or Impeachment is the only way the 25th can be forcibly enacted, and last I checked Biden, unlike Trump, has not faced impeachment at any point during his term, nor has he kicked the bucket.

Secondly, which is it? You describe his own voluntary removal from the 2024 ballot as a "Democratic Party Coup," but are also calling for him to be forcibly (and for that matter, illegally) removed from office. You don't get to have both in an effort to make it sound like you're acting in everyone's best interests. The fact that you used a (broken) link to Townhall, a well-known conservative rag, pretty much gives that way.

Also, if you were one of the 14 million who voted for Joe in the primary, how do you feel about this democrat party coup that lead you all along, convinced you he was mentally sharp (link:https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politi...ss-and-says-he-has-complete-confidence-in-him ), and then pulled the rug out from under all of you just before the convention?

Considering the fact that the long-standing alternative has been an old-ass convicted Rapist and Felon who played a major part in over a million Americans dying from a virus due to immense incompetence and disregard for the scientific community, illegally stole mountains of classified documents that put and continues to put our national security at risk against our enemies around the world, and enabled a large number of racists, traitors and all-around pieces of 🤬 to storm the Capitol in an effort to kill/detain members of the government, including the Vice-President of the United States, as well as forcibly stealing back the power he had unequivocally lost, thereby putting the democratic process, and as such our nations very existence, on the line, because he had a baby-ass temper tantrum about losing an election fair-and-square, among many, many other actions that would land a regular citizen in prison until they day they turned to ash, (INHALE)...

...I'm personally pretty ok with how things have gone.

When the man claiming to be fighting for democracy is shuffled aside, and all these votes are completely disregarded, that seems rather undemocratic, doesn't it?

Yeah, no. The delegates are the ones who decide on having Biden represent the Democratic Party for the election, and Biden also has to accept the nomination. The choice of the voter doesn't truly come into play until that's been decided and its time to vote. This has been part of the democratic process for decades (as far as I'm aware).

If the Democratic Party came in and tried to forcibly remove Biden after he had been nominated and/or assumed office, then at that point there would actually be a problem.

 

[Famine]

Huh. As things stand (unless either the RNC or DNC do something wild, or there's a really odd third-party gambit), this will be the first US Presidential Election in 48 years not to have any of the names Biden, Bush, or Clinton on the ticket.

1976 (Jimmy Carter/Walter Mondale v Gerald Ford/Bob Dole) was the last one. Although I suppose it's only five people contesting 11 straight elections.

On a similar note of Election Oddities, unless the DNC also does something wild, Trump will also claim the record of being the oldest presidential nominee in American history.

Yet nobody in the GOP will utter a word about this because they are afraid.

I hope and pray that the Dems seize this opportunity and mention it as often as possible, especially if Kamala ends up the nominee.

These people really are just the whiniest bitches in existence. I assumed they'd be taking the opportunity to frame this a massive victory against the "Evil Dems," because that's what I'd do if I was in their shoes (and I'm grateful I'm not).

Trump and his followers aren't just sore losers, they're somehow really bad at being sore winners, too.

Like Democrats didn't waste their fair share on Joe. Cry harder, GOP.

 

[McLaren]

Ian can't even vote b/c he's not a US citizen nor does he live in this country. Sounds like election interference by Ian's standard of cheating; Trump should be taken off the ballots.

Trump also loves bragging about how much money he can raise & that he can beat Harris even easier than Biden. So, what's he crying about.

 

[Blitz24]

All of those ads they planned to run against Joe Biden in September are already paid for and can't be substituted!

 

[TexRex]

They're conspiring against the Vice President of the United States to deny her candidacy for President of the United States. We should call this treason and you know what the penalty for treason is.

 

[McLaren]

They say it with such confidence, too. What a ******* loser.

He stepped down. He's 81, we all knew that might happen. Get over it.

 

[Eunos_Cosmo]

Man but what about all the 'lets go brandon' merch dealers? Can somebody please think of the little guy?

 

[UKMikey]

There seem to be more people complaining in the GOP camp that Joe dropped out than Democrats. Perhaps the latter should take that as an encouraging sign.

You are asking too much.

You could just as well say:
Criminals are stripped of their right to vote in the US or prevented to making use of it, but are allowed to be voted as president.

 

[inCloud]

Criminals are stripped of their right to vote in the US or prevented to making use of it, but are allowed to be voted as president.

Because, right to vote is right of citizen and right of been elected is right of citizens that want vote for you.

[Touring Mars]

Trump is crying about Biden pulling out of the presidential race, because they've committed so much funding to attacking him that it's not fair for the Democrats to now run someone else 😅 By that logic, I wonder if the Democrats would be asking for a refund for their anti-Trump campaigning if Thomas Matthew Crooks was a better shot.
