2024 Election POST MORTEM

What did Biden do here?

The spending on chips I got. I think that happened. Some one time infrastructure spending. I was going to say expanded overtime pay rule, but that never happened and now it surely won’t. Maybe you mean his tariffs.

Oh good, the texts are still coming

Stop living in the past he says as he cries about the forum splits that gave us trump :clown_face:

Yeah in the real world I follow the money. That’s what matters, not the FORUMS :clown_face:

It’s just funny how you personally, in the real life poker community, have caused more people to distance themselves from the left than almost any other factor. There couldn’t possibly be a better example of the point I’m making.

I think he’s trying to troll and/or is online too much.

What a great way to make sure no one will ever want to donate to a political campaign again.

This shit here gives you an idea of where the country is headed. I’ve never seen CA vote 70% on anything like this.

I mean, you’ve been pretty vocal about the situation with drug users on the street in SF and that empathy / treatment based solutions don’t seem to work. Is it really that surprising to see a vote like this?

It’s almost like we totally forgot the prison overcrowding crisis we are literally still dealing with from the 3 strikes law - there will be more early releases for minor crimes out of necessity, which makes this law pointless to the point of hilarity unless you get cynical and realize that its intended purpose is to make it easier to imprison the poor/minorities.

honestly though californians skew shockingly right on props and have for a while. Ive said for a long time californians arent nearly as liberal as they like to think they are.

You can’t know that, DUCY

I don’t think Citizens United has much to do with this election. Harris did relatively much better in the swing states (where the campaign was actually visible) than she did elsewhere. Citizens United is not why she only won NJ and IL by 4-5 pts. The issue is the funding of social media and alternative media, which I don’t think campaign finance reform can fix.

Most important issue for voters

Inflation and Jobs and the Economy are just bullshit. Everyone thinks their side is better for the economy. These answers are just people who think that the undocumented are responsible for crazy housing prices and taking jobs. Top three are immigration.

People didn’t vote against Kamala, they voted for this:

And with the SCOTUS the way it is now things might look different when cities try to be sanctuaries and not cooperate with ICE.

I don’t think it’s really giving into their demands as giving in on something that divides a lot of people and falling back to a ground where it won’t be such a big issue. Like affirmative action, saying that we support merit and merit should be color blind is fine to say, that’s ultimately how it’s supposed to go, and more importantly that’s how a good majority of both minorities and whites believe it should go. You reject the identity based things like “only minorities can have the position” but you pair it with “support for those less fortunate”.

Of course we know that the 'supporting opportunities for advancement" is a bit mealy mouthed and not really helping minorities equalize, but nether did an indentitarian focused paradigm either, and one drives away more than the other.

Damon would get waxed. Next dem nom needs to have a 1k powerlifting total, minimum
