Current Affairs 2024 POTUS race

Ah, I see. You don’t know. You don’t have an argument, you just smoke a ton of green and since Covid you’ve gone down a massive rabbit hole on YouTube. Neighbours and family avoid talking to you and cross the street pretending to be on their phone when they see you.

See, now that's not fair. I gave you the extra 0.5 for the emojis, you were just too quick to post.

P. S. I give this attempt 3/10.

I do watch youtube.

Dont smoke though.

Sounds like you might actually know my neighbours and family though, which is a bit weird.

Who have you been talking to?

I think if you're a Democrat this has to be the sickener stat:



There's no way any Republican candidate should be approaching taking half of the younger vote.

You know a 'progressive' party has gone badly wrong when that happens.

Good morning. What is happening in here?

Looks like a game of "guess the poster's nerdy lifestyle/character assassination" and an argument about sexual assault, the msm and possibly somewhere some discussion of the US election.

How fun!

Didn’t you tell me that trump had the last election stolen from him?

Its a good job theres no PSR on Presidential campaigns. She'd have lost AND been relegated.

If only they'd got Alanis Morissette... Who knows what the outcome would've been!

That should be put in the centre of the white board of the Democrat's war room.

Losing the youth vote to the Republicans should be considered criminal neglect by the Democrat party.

Whoever would have thought that reaching out and engaging with voters would make them more likely to vote for you.

They definitely need to find a message that promises real reform to tackle the worst excesses of corporate exploitation & someone charismatic & authentic enough to carry it.

We’re lucky that trend isn’t being shown in the UK at least when it comes to voting for parties on the right & Starmer has time on his side.

Our younger men may be leaning that way in aspects of their world view, but hopefully they aren’t subscribing to the “They’re all the same” negativity.

That narrative only serves the cause of the right. When they’re all crooked bastards then none of them are eh?

OK, let us dive into the locking him up comments.

It is not because she disagrees with him or he has wronged her personally in anyway. It is because she believes she has broken the law. The comparison is just nowhere near the same. If she was saying it about Vance or any of the other people then I would agree with you, as there is nothing out there that would imply they have participated in criminal acts.

In a free society are you not allowed to have an opinion that somebody who you believe has committed a crime should be tried and punished if found guilty. In a free society it should not be allowed to go after people in the same manner if all they have done is disagree with you.

The charges against trump and subsequent attempt to jail him were 100% politically motivated to prevent him from running again. Paying hush money to someone? Happens on a daily basis, history will reflect it as a political attempt. Whether trump is guilty of 101 things and broken the law many times, getting him into court on a hush money charge is the most feeble way they could.

Any given point there could be hundreds or even thousands of people who could be arrested and aren't, on similar things in America. So even if he is a criminal , even if he did instigate a coup even by the letter of the law, the actual charges they got him on were to prevent him coasting to victory like he did.

I disagree, at least about the decision to charge him - everything he was charged with was justified, especially the hush money payments which lets not forget had been partially dealt with (with convictions) in 2018.

Where they were politically influenced was the probable attempt to have all this conclude during the campaign - some of them (especially the hush money one) were sat on for way, way too long given what had already happened and have ended up doing nothing except bolster his argument that he was being persecuted.

The Gen Z crowd are way more "conservative" than the Millennial crowd. No idea how the shift came to be but that's been evident for a while now. There's nothing the Democrats can do about this fact.

I'm not a fan of these sociological categories.

McCain secured about 30% of the 18-30 age group and Trump has grabbed almost half of it.

Partly that's been down to the Democrats selling out to billionaire oligarchs, and partly there's a conscious distancing of the party elite from campaigning college kids and others on the left, who've been marginalised and even battered for their opposition to US foreign policy.

The Starmer lot ARE on the right.
