2024 US Presidential Election Thread

[TexRex]

So you're saying you wanted Harris in office she's so dumb all she knows how to do is laugh, and she thinks it's OK for women to continue committing murder of babies that will never have a chance at life! Let me ask you this what do you think GOD tells these murdered children. After you answer what would you tell the children if they could talk to you?


Start packing it's educated people like you that whine and whine.

When you carry out deception by wilfully misrepresenting others' remarks, you ought not preface with "so you're saying" because it's like a flashing neon sign. You're such a lying rat that the above isn't a reasonable response to anything I've posted on this forum, much less the post that you quoted.

Point of fact, I don't like Kamala Harris. Never have. Sure, she's better than your pedo bitch bronzer daddy, but that's a super low bar.

I mean she also oversaw 1900 convictions on marijuana offenses during seven years as San Francisco District Attorney.

They didn't and will never have a chance at life and yet they can be murdered? How does that work in your smooth-as-a-skinless-chicken-breast brain?

"You'll do," as He unbuttons the fly of His holy khakis.

Of course I kid. I don't actually share in your religious delusions.

I guess I'd tell those imaginary children that no individual has a natural claim to any part of another's body without consent, and then I'd attempt to juggle them while zip-lining between the twin World Trade Center towers (9/11 was a pretty unremarkable day in this imagined scenario), only I can't juggle and so they'd plummet to the ground hundreds of feet below and splatter like cantaloupes. Good stuff.

How does it feel to know that you respect consent exactly as little as child rapists do? That effective abortion prohibitions would presumably result in more potential victims is purely coincidental and doesn't figure into your motivations is something that I totally, for realsies believe.

And you, the uneducated, cry like a little bitch because someone called you darling. Amazing.

Actually it's action consistent with individual sovereignty and consent.

Conservative is when [bwuk-bwuk-BUGAWK].

I'm not sure I've ever seen that onomatopoeia spelled out before. Hm.

Ok I’ll admit, when I said I ”didn’t listen”, I said I did hear and see bits of her. Nevermind that she wasn’t Trump, she seemed likeable enough at first. Then she went down the ”tough on border control” kind of overton-window-shifting mode and got endorsed by Dick Cheney and thought ”uuhhh IDK about that. Hopefully it doesn’t matter”. Given that she lost the election, it clearly must’ve mattered, especially when combined with the Gaza situation and people’s experiences of the Biden administration. You may not think Biden was bad, but not everyone's you.

Given that she lost the election, everyone's reason must be your reason? And you want to tell me not everyone is me? I don't know that we understand the primary reason yet, but one of the biggest factors was inflation almost for certain. Dick Chaney is not going to be the reason.

The way I understood your interpretation was that people simply shouldn’t live in, nor deserve, a democracy, that society doesn’t work unless people live in a dictatorship. Which is probably the morale most dictatorships justify themselves with as we speak.

To me, that's the case it sounds like you're making. It sounds like you're saying people are just mindless sheep who will be led astray by whoever yells loudest, and that if they're not lead where we want them to be, it's the manipulators that are to blame. This is not an argument for representative government, especially when you couple that with the notion that you think the sheep are most heavily influenced by authoritarians. So, from my perspective, because you refuse to place agency and blame with the people of the US, you think that they cannot be trusted with the responsibility of participating in a democracy.

Less waving, more jacking off two dudes at the same time.

Edit: Based on the stroke length, well...good for them. I suppose he would get hung studs the likes of which have never been seen.

That reminds me of a scene from the HBO show "Silicon Valley" involving the same thing but with a dry erase board presentation. I'm sure it's on Youtube.

 

[TexRex]

Huh. Weird.

@Danoff did you change your profile picture?

 

[Terronium-12]

Huh. Weird.

Oh ****. That reminds me that this... [words that wholeheartedly violate the AUP] will be made an official part of the government.

This country is so ****ing ****ed.

On a tangent from that last point, for all you might hear about gen alpha being wishy-washy namby-pambies, you'd be disturbingly surprised how many of them also think women are property and how it's funny to upset and bully other people. Children, by which I also specifically include mid-teenagers, consume online media at an increased rate and it does have a strong effect. If what they're consuming is junk, and god knows there is abominable junk out there, their brains are going to believe junk.

If you infect an ecosystem, everything existing in that ecosystem also becomes infected. Oversimplified but, IMHO, very true. When you flood a populace with a message, no matter what that message is, it WILL take hold. This is classic propaganda stuff staring you in the face as you doomscroll. It's cheap, easy and pernicious.

Too many Americans are susceptible to compromising everything for that one thing they want. That's what happened Tuesday. People were willing to give-up on democracy to save money. To me it seems this choice was made by a selfishly motivated American majority plagued by civic ignorance.

We're in a bit of a bad spot over here...

Maybe "clearly" was the wrong word to use, but it could have been a contributing factor for the Dems/DNC to see and try and learn not to repeat next time. That is, if there is a next time. Or if they bother to learn at all.

"Sheep" aren't most influenced by authoritarians, they're most influenced by charismatic leaders (and media) telling people what they want to hear. This isn't something unique to authoritarians, but unfortunately alot of said leaders are authoritarians. Populism may have a bad reputation cuz of its association with authoritarianism, but the two aren't (and never have been) mutually exclusive. The famous Obama quote "Change has come to America" is a great example of that.

I must admit that my expectations on humans/humanity is pretty low and has been since Covid, what with the whole people showing their true colors and politicians proving they can do something about crisises just not the climate one deal. Add to that Ukraine and the hypocritical treatment of the war refugees as well as the Gaza war and well... At this point I'm just happy if anything positive happens at all, if not it goes straight into the "terrible but predictable" bin.
