[Discussion] 2024 Election catch-all

For stuff about the 2024 election

I grew up around slack jawed cousin f*ckers who would often call me a "dog eater" as a precursor to ethnic violence and/or intimidation. So Trump, JD Vance, and every last one of those MAGAt motherf*ckers can go rot in hell.

Vance doubled down on CNN.

Like, it's a total Groyper takeover of the entire party. It's genuinely kind of astonishing.

The Childless Cat Lady sign off. Ice cold.

Kamala proved tonight she is pro post natal abortion

They've moved from 'every accusation is an admission' to 'every accusation is what they saw on TV last night'.

As someone who lives in Ohio, let me be clear…

They need to be smoked for at least 12 hours with a good hard wood and enjoyed with steak fries.

I would never in 1000 years wish harm on a child, but Vance through his deliberate actions to foment ethnic violence is practically begging the universe to visit something Greek and tragic on his half brown kids.

Do not taunt the furies.

Some people have bad parents. That doesn't mean the kids are bad.

Totally agree. Just saying that the universe is a blunt instrument.

Not that the facts matter, but here is the fact check of the debate claims. Trump was on a complete lie-a-thon.

They called him on like one or two in the moment and he backpedaled pretty sharply, but otherwise did a fairly poor job of standing up to him. Maybe as good as it gets, but I'd love to see better.

So Trump is going to step down from running for president now, right?

That's what happens when an old man completely flubs a debate, right?

Do you honestly think that Vance would be any better?

No and I would love to watch it while it's hosted in a doughnut shop or furniture store.

A MAGA friend, while complaining about the moderators, said the following:

But yes, he looked bad. He took the bait repeatedly and flopped. He lost that debate and looked like a miserable old man getting spanked on stage. But the hosts had no interest in correcting any of her statements. Actually, I'm not sure that she got fact checked at all. Regardless, them's the breaks, Kamala won. She also used the camera very well and to her advantage. There's no other way to describe it. She won.

No, no; this is the best Simpsons meme from the debate.

First off, I wasn't being serious, but now I think about it, maybe?

Like maybe he's less obsequious and groveling to the likes of Orban and Putin, and less likely to roll over and show them his belly, because he has the slightest inkling of how global diplomacy works?

Genuinely, this is a testament to how terrible a politician Trump is that I'm looking at Vance and thinking "that's probably not worse".

I don't know. I can definitely see Vance being worse.

If there is another debate, can I ask that it be on Nickelodeon and candidates get slimed every time they lie?

I think this was my favorite part.

Everyone knew Trump was going to say ridiculous made up stuff. For anyone actually watching that cares for a platform or vision heard him say that and hopefully realized what a joke things would be (again).

It might not have been a lot of people but it's stuff like this in the margins that will flip votes or just keep people home.

Edit:
Number 2 for me was his refusal to acknowledge Ukraine. He will end the war by giving Putin whatever he wants. So Trump isn't wrong in saying he will end it but Americans on the margins will hopefully realize this.
