The Armageddon Election 2024 Or Apocalypse 2024

Sure, but in this case, wouldn't the electoral college be good?  Because she would've won the election but lost the popular vote

this is depressing AF

If 1.1% of voters (175,000) across the 3 blue wall states had chosen Harris over Trump, she would be President.

I get that Trump won but this isn’t a “blowout” or a “landslide” and it’s certainly not a mandate.

1.1% across 3 states is all it was.

fuck the electoral college

all this is meaningless...those were the rules, so you play by them, don't complain when you don't win and don't like the rules
biden only won by 30k based on this

Sure, but in this case, wouldn't the electoral college be good?  Because she would've won the election but lost the popular vote

Dems didn't turn out the votes where it mattered and that is the issue
Would have been even worse if she won the EC and trump won the popular...can you imaginge the pearl clutching that would have happened

I stand by my statement Fuck the electoral college

definitely favors GOP currently, I'll give you that

but those are the rules, so play by them, learn how to take advantage of certain inequities and plan accordingly

It not going to change any time soon if ever, so screaming into the void is pointless


oh onion, I do love you so

sweets any updates on Ukraine?

Trump promised to end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours of being elected.

is the caveat that we have to wait until Jan 21?

and very clearly the DEMS failed at getting the vote out from those currently residing in cemeteries

312-226 combined with taking control of senate and retaining the house is a shellacking and a mandate.

This is exactly what their bullshit mandate will get them....

Seeing a lot of the above type “you are too stupid to know what you voted for” posts….

It’s so condescending, stupid and counterproductive. I actually wouldn’t be surprised if it’s fake.

I am not a fan of tariffs but nothing concrete has been done.

To me Trump was brilliant to talk up tariffs because it was a way of saying to people “I will do something to help you keep your job.” I think this played well in PA. It’s just politics something Harris seemed to have no clue about. During the election you promise people a bunch of stuff you think they want to try and get their vote.

Now what he does or doesn’t do is another story yet to be written.

Can’t we wait til he takes power to start criticizing what he does?

So will be dead first, Trump or Loz Cheney?

There is photo of Pat Tillman on espn.com and I recall Jon Krakauer’s great book and how Tillman very enthusiastically volunteered for war with the best intentions but the actual experience was not at all what he expected

addressing the voting public's economic concerns is great politicking.  but doing it via straight-up lies and taking advantage of their lack of knowledge?  there has to be another way. 

should kamala have said "when i become president, i will order the Treasury to print more money and every american will receive $10,000 in cash, thus ensuring our economic recovery"?  would have been popular, and horrible policy.  at what point does it become an insult to the public's intelligence?

Apparently Casey went down in PA.

The world’s 10 richest people got a record $64 billion richer from Trump’s reelection

yet another win for the working class!
