2024 US Presidential Election (Taylor's Version)

Betting markets now have as basically a coin flip. Biden at 54 cents on PredictIt, other sites have like -110/-110.

What sites have this in the USA for betting

I guess there are no sharpies in politics

This doesn’t sound bad really. But, I expected it to be a competition between almost no one being willing to vote for an atheist and really almost no one being willing to vote for a socialist, but was surprised at the numbers.

60% said they would vote for an atheist and 45% said they would vote for a socialist. Considering 40% of people are Republicans, and I don’t imagine many Republicans would vote for a self-proclaimed socialist, that’s a lot of the rest.

It’s probably closer to 20-25% of people are self-identified Republican now. I think it was 25% in 2020.

Fun to see evangelical christian well below most other groups

I look forward to the day when we have an openly self procraimed atheist as president

You may be dead before you see that

you already saw it. according to the right wing, biden is a godless communist.

He’s about as Godless as they are Godful

No POTUS has been openly more than ā€œDiestā€ or just quietly not religious, but those were back in the day when you could get away with that. You can’t now. But, Trump is probably the most likely atheist of modern times.

Nah… No way Obama and the Clintons aren’t atheists

Edit: Clintons for sure

You got Obama and the Clintons way wrong

You really think Bill and Hillary believe in god? Is there any evidence of this? I don’t remember his presidency, but Hillary is really hard for me to believe

Would really be surprised if Barrack and Michelle were believers too

Not that I fault him for it but thinking that barry ā€œI am not a supporter of gay marriageā€ obama might not be too sincere about his steadfast christian faith is probably not a bad bet

Most Christians dont really deep down think that god actually exists. They just identify with the group and what it represents to them.

Hillary especially is religious.

I think this is true of Jewish people, not Christians

Bill Clinton is a Rhodes scholar! That’s right. I guess I’m a snob. My default take on very intelligent educated people is that they’re atheists

Just to be clear you understand that being Jewish or a Jew can mean an ethnicity/culture and really imply nothing about religion? You could be a Jew and be Buddhist or, sigh, even Christian. I’m Jewish and an atheist.

Not that I disagree about supposedly religious people actually not believing deep down.
