2024 U.S.A. Presidential Election Thread

[The Great Nevada Overlord]

So we are beginning to round that time again where we all groan as we keep getting phone calls to tell us to vote for one old man or keep getting news ads that tell us to vote for the other old man.

Politics, amirite? This time around, however, it won't just be a Biden VS. Trump showdown. Instead we have Ron DeSantis throwing his hat into the ring, things should get spicy!

While it may still be a bit early I can try to make some predictions, maybe start a conversation or two.

Okay so let's start with DeSantis and Donnie Boy. My prediction is that Ron DeSantis running for president is actually a blessing in disguise for the Democrats. DeSantis will act as an even bigger hurdle for Trump, as no longer is it the other guy but instead now it's one from his own bench. Trump raised him from cub to bear but now the bear is fighting back.

I never know how to end these. Now start talking about this thing I guess.

I'm in favor of Trump, DeSantis represents my views better, but I feel Trump has a better chance than DeSantis.

You want to abolish utensils?

You want to abolish utensils?

No, where the fuck did you get that from?

[Southland]

You want to abolish utensils?

No, where the fuck did you get that from?

My guess is she's referencing Trump's love for fast food.

[EuroStralia]

Well, you can eat fast food with utensils, it'd just be weird.

[Necroghastia]

You want to abolish utensils?

No, where the fuck did you get that from?

Well, you said DeSantis represents your views better, I just assume you want to do away with spoons. At least for desserts.

You know that's not what I meant.

Thread starts and we're already talking about spoons. I love the internet.

Does Trump even have a platform to run on or is it just more BEHOLD YOUR GOD like last time?

His platform is that Biden is incompetent and will lead us to WW3 and that DeSantis is incompetent and will lead us to WW3.

So yes.

[Wartime Wallowis]

No Bernie Sanders on poll

[EuroStralia]

No Bernie Sanders on poll

Is Bernie even running?

[Wartime Wallowis]

No Bernie Sanders on poll

Is Bernie even running?

I don’t think Kanye West is either, though I could be wrong

[Dakran]

I'm not sure if I have the mental fortitude to listen to grown ass adults insult each other on TV again, instead of actually bother trying to convince us that they deserve our vote because of their policies.

War with Mexico, tax cuts for the rich, trans genocide, and abortion bans— the GOP primary field may be getting crowded, but they do seem to have a consensus on quite a lot of issues.

Sending the military into Mexico to deal with the cartels isn't the same as war with Mexico.

Sending your military into a sovereign state uninvited? Being fucking invasion monkeys again and starting another war you won't know what to do with once you've started it.

Creating an Afghanistan or Iraq right next door would help drug cartels.

Does Trump even have a platform to run on or is it just more BEHOLD YOUR GOD like last time?

President Trumps Platform: Lower Taxes, strong economy, Fair Trade deals, low inflation, economic opportunity zones, oil, natural gas, coal and fracking in Pennsylvania, New Mexico, Alaska, Texas and other states that want it or need it. Low unemployment, for black African Americans, Asian Americans, Hispanic Americans, Native Americans, Euro Americans and all Americans. Child tax credits. Secure the US Borders, the remain in Mexico policy and other nations, while your asylum claims are being considered, no illegal immigration, no benefits for illegals. operations against the Mexican drug cartels, drugs and illegal migrants smuggling. Cops Lives Matter, fund the cops, the good Cops, like my good Cuban Cousin, Primo Cop, Against Critical Race Theory, For Parents Rights. End the war in Ukraine. America First Foreign Policy. Peace Through Strength. This will do for now. Make America Great Again.

So a lot of buzzwords and no actual substance.

[Tillania]

...and starting another war you won't know what to do with once you've started it.

Why, blame the next Democratic administration for it, of course.

This was and is President Trump's record and 2024 Plaform. "So a lot of buzzwords and no actual substance." According to you and those who support you.

Then Mexico also has the right to launch airstrikes in gang neighborhoods in the US

That totally wouldn't be an act of war, it would be more of something like . . . as a certain Russian guy put it, "Special Military Operation", yes?

So how does he plan to accomplish those things? What is Critical Race Theory? What Parent's Rights are we talking about here? What does America First entail?
