Pre-match: Can't believe it took this long for this thread, the 2024 Presidential election thread!

It’s not like his ineptitude has ever stopped tens of millions of people from voting for him. Why would it bother them now, when the alternative is a woman of color?

 

Wellness check!

How y'all feeling yo?

 

Nauseous

 

My brain suggests hope. My testicles disagree. My brain understands that is part of their job.

 

The highest I can get on the positivity meter is Optimistic. I'm not not-confident, but for me confidence requires more statistical proof. But there's a lot of associated evidence, correlative stats pointing in a positive direction that I'm oddly not nervous about the result, even if I can't make myself feel confident. As I said earlier, if the result is the wrong one, I honestly cannot blame the Dems, Harris, Walz, the campaign strategists. They've run a wonderful, energetic and inspiring campaign. Not flawless, but that's not possible. Even so, I can't point to any truly serious missteps. If the country chooses Trump, then the blame is America's, and I guess the Constitution for saddling us with such a half-assed way of electing the president.

 

Concur.

The biggest flaw was Biden's gaff about the garbage - but that's not on Kamala and company.

 

The biggest flaw was Biden running for a second term. If Trump wins, Biden’s going to have seriously undermined his legacy.

 

Maybe, but would the Dem nominee's campaign that emerged from a contested primary process have been as good as this one's been? No one got picked apart in the primaries. The entire party united behind Harris within a few days. Now, if Biden had bowed out a month or two earlier, that might have helped. But it is what it is, a highly unusual, but also highly effective and focused campaign.

 

I dunno.

Most everything i saw Biden's gaffe referenced, the Puerto Rico as garbage line was also referenced. I think Biden kept Puerto Rico front and center longer.

 

Understandably though. Like people have to look at the district she represents. Not have knee jerk reactions.

 

Feeling fine. She is killing him with the women vote, and more women vote than men. I suppose he can get lucky with a winning battleground state combination, but this isn’t 2016 when more women were willing to give him a chance. They know what he is now, a slimy, decaying mess. Harris will take this.

 

Confidently nervous

I’m phone banking in downtown San Francisco for Harris and for House candidates in marginal CA- districts. Apparently Pelosi supplied the pizza so there you go.

 

My 30-something niece (by marriage), who is pregnant, just posted on Instagram that she had an abortion when she was 21, and it was the best decision she could have made at the time. She voted Kamala for her unborn daughter, etc... What a way to tell the world.

 

Lolllllll

 

Americans I am sorry you are not serious people
