2024 US Elections thread

[TheMan]

Surprised no one has made one exactly one month away. Anyways, post polls, opinions, takes, predictions etc here, keep it civil, no need for insults or any of that garbage, keep in mind that at the end of the day, they're politicians, part of the elite, they have it made and they really don't give two shits about us...prove me wrong.

Having said that, I'm gonna post my prediction a month out...Trump should be slightly favored since I believe he will slightly over perform his polls but this time not as much as previously as I believe pollsters will have made adjustments. In the end though, no one voted for Biden in 2020, I called it during the Democratic primaries (though I was Bernie Bro and I don't like Biden), it was an anti Trump vote 4 years ago, his Jan 6th shenanigans will prove to be his downfall this time around, and as it looks like rn, turnout gonna be huge, early voting is up from 2020 during the pandemic, big turnouts historically = no bueno for the GOP, also abortion rights gonna drive up the chick vote, unlike Killary, she's up big with women...Harris takes the 3 Blue Wall states plus Nevada, Trump holds NC, GA and AR...and claims it was rigged again

What say you? Grab your popcorn, dis gun' get gud...dis mah prediction and reasons for it, post yours and let's see whose the most accurate, without those goofy self ban bets that no one honors (I'm looking at you Patricio).

Trump won't be the next President. Even if elected, something will happen between that and him actually having to take office, which will keep him out of the White House.
Should he by some miracle get in, who knows what kind of stuff the establishement will pull to create the sentiment that Trump isn't fit to run the country and must be impeached or taken out.

Surprisingly, I have not seen one (Presidential) yard sign yet (except my mother's 2 neighbors who fly their Trump flag year round) in the Miami area. People are much more likely to vocally support Trump than in previous cycles especially at work.

I'll predict that Trump will win, but I fear the Dems' strong ground game. My primary concern is Rep winning the Senate because if the Dems ever win the Senate, the filibuster is gone and they will try to pack the Supreme Court and add as many Dem states/senators as possible.

that will never happen. it's just right wing media fear mongering.

...as long as the old guard has the power in congress anyway. now if it were aoc & crew then you'd have something to be worried about.

And you think the Dems wouldn't have done it if not for Sinema and Manchin (who will be gone in January)? I beg to differ - from Sinema's own mouth (timestamp 6:40):

come on rmt - you know better than this. it's all theater. you think these votes made in congress aren't premeditated? you a really think manchin and sinema are 'mavericks' and actually stood up to their party? of course not. the democrats put up a front to get the media talking and get their voters thinking they're fighting for them but behind the scenes the circle jerk on the hill never stops. same shit with build back better - the democrats never wanted that to pass and it never had a chance to. manchin and sinema were the perfect fall guys for it because they're democrats in red states. "welp, sorry democratic voters - we tried"! "you'll have to keep voting for us though so we can fight for you again next time"! then manchin and sinema get to front and are rewarded media appearances.

it's cliche to say at this point, but it's a big club and we ain't in it. politicians play their kabuki theater, manipulate the media and easily fool the masses. this is a perfect example of it.

LOL - you got all those "hypothetical" machinations out of Dems' (MANY) statements to get rid of the filibuster? Sorry, when they continually say they're going to do it, I believe they want to.

Manchin and Sinema are not "mavericks" - they are traditional Democrats - what the Democrat party USED to stand for but which have left them far behind.

[diamenz]

Sorry, when they continually say they're going to do it, I believe they want to.

who knows? maybe you'll end up being right. but i wouldn't be so quick to believe what people in washington say just because it's convenient for you.

Convenient for me - when I take them at their word? Without the filibuster, the country will be on a perpetual yo-yo - swinging back and forth depending on which party holds the Senate.

No way Trump wins the popular vote for the third election in a row.

Only the anti-democratic, slave era Electoral College could save his fat ass.

No, he's still stuck on 46% nationally when you average all the national polls. She's closing in on 50%

Trump is winning this election. End of story. Close this thread now.
