Hello Actualized.org forum! With the 2024 election being less than a month as of posting this, I wanted to create a general thread to discuss the upcoming election. The purpose of this thread is to be a place where people can freely discuss and debate the various candidates and their policies, as well as provide resources and to coordinate voting Use this interactive map to post your predictions, and post the images below: https://www.270towin.com/ Here's to check if you're registered to vote: https://www.vote.org/am-i-registered-to-vote/ | https://www.vote.org/ Information on where to vote: https://www.vote.org/polling-place-locator/ Absentee ballot information: https://www.vote.org/absentee-ballot-deadlines/ A while ago, I posted a thread with an interactive election quiz. It's a quiz which basically assesses which candidate one is aligned with. If you're confused with who to vote for, I highly recommend this as a resource: This general is mainly for the presidential election, but don't forget the Senate, House of Representatives, and various local races. Below is a list of the current candidates. Click on the candidate's name and political party, as it contains a link to the candidate's website and the party's website. Kamala Harris (Democratic Party) Vice Presidential Candidate: Tim Walz (Governor of Minnesota) Harris is the Democratic nominee after President Biden withdrew from the race. Donald Trump (Republican Party) Vice Presidential Candidate: J.D. Vance (Senator from Ohio) Trump is making another run for the presidency with Vance as his running mate. Jill Stein (Green Party) Vice Presidential Candidate: Not officially announced Stein, a longtime Green Party candidate, is running again in 2024. Chase Oliver (Libertarian Party) Vice Presidential Candidate: Not officially announced Claudia De la Cruz (Party for Socialism and Liberation) Vice Presidential Candidate: Karina Garcia De la Cruz and Garcia are running on a socialist platform focused on economic justice, pro-Palestine, and anti-imperialism

I saw this meme on Reddit. What do you think are the implication of this? Strange how the people who suffer the most economically vote for those who oppose; unions, minimum wage laws, expansions to healthcare, opposed Biden's infrastructure bill and then took credit for it, etc...

I think you’re overreacting a bit.

"Super high-IQ small government revolutionaries." This is real. https://x.com/america/status/1857086443279061385 https://x.com/DOGE/status/1857076831104434289 But hold on, it gets worse. Skip to the 1.00 minute mark, where he talks about selecting half of bureaucrats who's social security numbers end in a certain sequence, and then randomly firing 50% of all bureaucrats.

This is the type of populist anger that we need. Simple and straight to the point, this is exactly how the next Democratic nominee needs to give their speeches.

Considering. Maybe the the mods and administrator recommend me to do so.

I think this thread is the appropriate place to talk about this, but where did Leo go? He last was on this forum on Saturday.

Conservative Muslims in the Middle East are horrified by anything LGBT, yet they excuse adults having sex with and marrying kids because the Prophet Muhammad or some obscure tribal code permits it.

Official Election Update GOP has a majority in the House of Representatives.

Official Election Update Here's the Status of the House of Representatives so far. 218 seats are need for a majority. GOP: 214 seats DEM: 203 seats 10 races are yet to be called.

SDi ORANGE is celebrating.

Yeah, that's strange. Usually he's much more active. My theory is he's having some sort of breakdown due to the election. Similar to how Stalin had a mental breakdown and locked himself in his office, not answering any phone calls when Hitler invaded. I'm of course joking. My actual theory is Leo is having another spiritual awakening.

Behind the scenes of the Trump campaign.

Official Election Update Arizona has finally been called for Trump.

This idea that Trump is going to be better for peace is laughable and anyone who believes this should be ashamed of themselves.

Official Election Update Nevada has been called for Trump. Leo! Don’t you live in Nevada? You have a lot of explaining to do! I’m of course joking, Las Vegas and Clark County went for Harris. Every County in Nevada, except Clark, went for Trump. The House of Representatives has still not been called for either party. The Senate race has been concluded, and as of yesterday, they had just gained a seat. This brings them to a 53 seat majority.

This is an anti-Semitic meme which began on 4chan.

I actually agree with this. They were not populist enough on economic and healthcare issues, but the trans issue, as well as mass migration, did definitely scare a lot of people. And Trump definitely used this fear to his advantage.

If I may offer my sincere and honest input to explain why I think Harris lost by such a substantial margin, but, in short, its a rejection of centrist Liberalism, a dying ideology. If we look at the voter margins between 2020 and 2024, we see that Trump largely got the same number of votes as he did in 2020. Trump didn't necessarily increase the amount of people who voted for him, he retained roughly the same amount. Meanwhile on the Democratic side, Harris got 15 million less votes than Biden in 2020. This is significant because on policy, and rhetoric, which is arguably more important, the Democrats moved right. They have completely stopped talking about trans rights, and have adopted Trump's 2016 border security and immigration policy. The reason why they moved to the right; from immigration, to being supported by Dick and Liz Cheney, etc... was to convince those in the center, and even some Republicans to vote for them. But that didn't happen. In 2020, 97% of registered Republicans voted for Trump, and in 2024, 97% of registered Republicans voted for Trump. The attempt to appeal to centrists and conservatives backfired, and as a result, 15 million less people voted for Harris than did Biden. As part of Liberal ideology is an innate trust in institutions, such as mainstream media and Government. This is part of the reason why Democrats refrained from using populist and working class language to frame this as a battle between the little guy and corrupt elites. This trust in institutions is as well why the Democrats refrained from going on alternative media and podcasts, instead relying on legacy media. But we're living in an age of distrust. No one trusts the Government or legacy media anymore. Centrist Liberalism is a dying ideology. It is an era of populism. And thats really it. It doesn't matter that the Democrats had better policy, people don't know what the policies are and never vote on them. Voters are too ignorant what the polices are, hence it doesn't matter than Biden was super pro-union, child tax credit, reduced inflation, whatever... Democrats need to adopt populist language and need to stop trying to appeal to Conservatives, because they're going to call Dems, 'Communists', no matter who they nominate. They as well need to utilize alternative media and podcasts. Nominate better candidates who speak more authentically, and don't rely on teleprompters for every speech as well. Bernie was a good example of what the Democrats should aspire to be like, he was populist and utilized alternative media. But in 2020, Democrats were too concerned with nominating someone "electable". Also, the donors and establishment Dems would have never approved of Bernie and would have sought to undermine him every chance they got. Edit: On second thought, I do think Democrats were still too relaxed on immigration. Migrants in New York City were literally given vouchers to buy food, and were put up in luxurious hotels for shelter. Leftist politicians such as AOC were defending this practice. This definitely has contributed to a lot of nativist sentiment, both in America and in Europe.

Edit: I'm deleting this. I was going to type something but then accidentally pressed enter and nonsense was posted instead.

It's crazy to see how much this thread has grown ever since the election results. When I first started this thread, I had to keep bumping it on my own because so little people replied. Now its arguably the most popular thread in this entire forum, currently.
