2024 Election Discussion General

[sholomar]

It fascinates me how few republicans were able to go and vote for the more libertarian/left measures in my state. I figured there was more libertarians or free thinkers here. That alone provided me some interesting insights into herd thinking as related to our nature.  Even the food tax repeal failed the vote. Fascinating to me.

In the end it's the small percentage of moderates that decide elections, but it's hard to sway hardline party stances as a moderate... people tend to get brainwashed into their "party's" core views unable to pick a different position and whatever party has power tends to run with their more extreme positions when they get power, which of course frustrates moderates because they both come off as nuts.

Yeah, you're not gonna gaslight me on that. The irony to go beyond race and sexuality only to discriminate against people's "consciousness" is palpable

Your projection and weak idea of morality is what’s palpable. Just another wanna be right, close minded fool. Poof, be gone!!!

Was a lack of aggression really the problem as Cenk said? Or the country just didn't want her?

For me it's just her character. I sensed nothing but dishonesty, crookedness, zero integrity etc. Trump is a bit shady aswell but less so. That's just was my superficial impression of these two. The impression I arrived at using only my gut feeling and not looking at their history record or what people say about them etc.

Similar to how blaming the fans worked for Disney and Hollywood . "It's not that our movies suck, it's just that the audience is racist/ misogynist / homophobic/ etc/"

Or maybe too many people identify with a white supremacist like Trump.

Disney movies really pushed identity politics down their viewers throats. But Kamala didn't make this election about her identity. I don't think she ever played the victim card or acted entitled.

This pretty much sums it up. This was a test of americas consciousness, and it failed miserably

Goodnight.

She is not a natural populist. What did you think of Tim Walz?

Never heard of him. That's how little I know about politics. I only started watching it in the last month or so because there's so much hype around it lol. But that was my first impression after watching what's happening for a month.

You need to manifest Trump's victory to be able to keep your persona.

Judgement, not experience.

When people say things like this I just wonder what info/news they're consuming...

None.

Like I said I just watched her character where she did some interviews and then watched Donald's character and that ended being my impression.
