2024 Presidential Race

[bucket]

X/Twitter is an absolute rabid cesspool rn. I just created an account, so zero following/followers.

 

You’re going to see things you’ve never seen before. Ever since I saw the results this morning, I’ve been thinking about how I’m going to stay off of it the next four years.

 I can only imagine what a new account sees. I only follow sports people for the most part but if I flip over to the "For You" side by accident it's a disaster. I can't imagine how people actually live on that side.  ha

I deactivated. It's been a long time coming. So far no regrets. Not worth it and hasn't been since Elon took over, and realistically was trending to that before that too. Just doesn't provide any value. It's just awful besides like sickos committee and other fun stuff

I get sidetracked by the trends and it stresses me out. It’s a great app but the pros no longer outweigh the cons.

I have irl never once looked at the twitter trends

Dax, I’ll be honest. I expected you to gloat a bit, but you are being kind of mean.

Being uneducated morons is also a very large part of it. I know the other side says comments like that is why Dems always lose, but it is true. It takes 3 seconds to learn that Biden didn't make egg prices go up or that we pumped an absolute crap load of oil during his admin. Yet, if you ask a regular Joe, they will give you those reasons as to why they voted for Trump. Your average voter doesn't even know how laws are made let a lone how a policy might affect the inflation on prices of crap they buy. I'm with whoever said it above, they just say this because some of them don't want to say out loud that they don't like brown people. They have also been conditioned to believe that no matter what, the other side is worse.

There's literally no introspection among the vast majority of #blueaon voters.  All they were told was Trump is bad, they regurgitate the same lines over and over.

You're absolutely living in la-la land if you don't think executive branch (and dotted line) monetary policy, and executive/ cabinet branch level policy decisions can't impact the price of commodities. You're a complete idiot if you don't think that assisting mass global conflict which included substantial conflict at multiple energy choke points didn't impact energy prices irrespective of how much oil the US was producing.

The #blueanon brain is absolutely provincial at times

literally nothing could make trump not win this thing outside of him dying of some old man thing. it's been over for years. but that doesn't mean this stuff isn't wild to witness.

So I take this to mean our bet is still good?

I don’t recall if I said Biden v Trump specifically but even if I did I intended it to be Trump v whoever. Obviously if you want to cancel I think that’s fine if your intent was specific to Trump/Biden. Either way Im good though.

Agree. Totally amazing how much better the US was at bringing inflation down as opposed to the rest of the world. :hifive:

And now we are going to deport all of our low wage workers and put big tariffs on all imports to drive costs down even further.

It was a moment that encapsulated one of the biggest challenges facing her campaign – which, in the end, proved insurmountable.
“What, if anything, would you have done something differently than President Biden during the past four years?” co-host of ABC’s “The View” Sunny Hostin asked Harris, looking to give her a set for her to spike over the net.
“There is not a thing that comes to mind,” she said.
Even Harris realized she had a problem, trying to adjust a moment later by saying she would put a Republican in her cabinet.

And those tensions manifested from almost the start of this short campaign, in the internal wrangling over who Harris should pick as her running mate. The case for Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro was strong, and not just because Harris’ brother-in-law Tony West was telling her they looked like the future of the Democratic Party together, and that the popular governor would make sure she won Pennsylvania. Right-wing media types weren’t the only ones who noticed how much Shapiro had made himself into an Obama clone, as much a Jewish guy from the Philadelphia suburbs could be: The Obama alumni suddenly rushing onto her campaign were pushing for Shapiro.

Harris liked Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, though. She liked his line about Republicans being weird. She liked the way he came off as easy and unassuming. She liked the way they’d gotten along in their interview, including his very open stress that he would mess up in a debate with Trump’s running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance. And she liked the way Walz had been so deferential to however she would define the job for him.

What would that be? United Way, the Sally Army, a church that accepts the gays? Don't give it to the Lincoln Project tho.

Blaming Harris is stupid as hell but that's exactly what the Dems will do. They will keep making the same stupid ass mistakes over and over again. Obama winning then subsequently sitting on his ass, just to win reelection has broken this party and as long as he and the Clintons are running the party, it's doomed to fail.

This is the one thing I will take most exception to. It's like you always tell us about Hunter's laptop and the Dem Hurricane throwing machines. It's all out there right in the open. All you have to do is look. He's always been a bad guy. No one had to tell anyone that. R's just either ignore it or think the other side is worse, which is fine. Pretending that the evil Dems or Media are the ones that told everyone Trump is a bad guy is bullshit.

Anyhoo. I had my vent day. I'm going to go back and try and ignore this crap as much as I can again. Congrats again Dax.    I hope we all get our minuscule tax break before RFK kills us all.

You continue to lie to and gaslight yourself.

As the St. Louis Fed just reported, inflation is still high.

Slowing the increase and calling it a decrease only applies to federal budgeting.

#CaptainObvious reporting for duty. I will handle this.

The reason slowing the increase of inflation is called a decrease is because the notion of increase is baked into the concept--the very essence--of what we call inflation in the English language. Less of more is less than the same of more or more of more. Less of more is better when you have too much.

Surely, you agree that some inflation is not only healthy but preferable.
