PBP: Kamala Harris vs Donald Trump :: Election Day Thread [R]

White and college educated. I'm guessing White non-college educated women went more heavily for him rather than vote for a woman of color AND accomplishment.

 

You reply, you care. Its simple as that.

 

Just ridiculous.
Harris and Walz are eloquent takers?
I am starting to think that parallel universes are real.

 

I can agree with that. That's basically what Hillary did too. I put that on her advisors more than on her, though.

 

I teach college. I work with a lot of young men. He's not appealing to anything that resembles their best selves. He's appealing to their online personas. That's not healthy.

 

It will be Biden's fault. Plus, Deep STate!

 

They are all nazis!

 

We saw this coming

 

How do you know that?
Have you ever wondered whether you being on the opposite end of the political spectrum and your bias against Trump get in your way of understanding why exactly he appeals to them?

 

Good day folks.....Quick question, is there any here who is in finance/investments etc? I need to bounce some questions .....Please send me a dm. Appreciated.

 

Latino nazis don't want more illegal immigration and they also want a better economy...
Oh no, how horrible!

 

Bubble boy

 

It’s shocking how the non college educated crowd actually have interests.

 

Massachusetts question results:
1. State auditor enabled to audit the legislature.
Passed, but this is probably going to the supreme judicial court and will be thrown out
2. Removed state standardized test as a graduation requirement
I voted no change to current law on this one, but I was with the "yes" in spirit. I just think the way that it should be done was different. Current system post NCLB is clearly screwed up all the way down to elementary school
3. Framework established for Uber/Lyft driver unions
4. No legalization of psychedelics
I was strongly against this one. Cannabis legalization here was a stupid mess, this promised to be no better.
5. No change to minimum wage structure for tipped workers.
I voted for harmonization of minimum wage, but there was even a lot of disagreement within the tipped worker cohort. I think the argument/suspicion that this might have been an opportunity by business owners to skim more tips is what really killed it.

 

Ummm. I not only read The American Conservative, I've published a couple of book reviews there. Don't EVEN pretend to know where I stand on anything.

I do cop to a bias against Trump. As a Catholic, his propensity to lie makes him a threat to public life. That, and his kleptocratic adminstration that he ran the first time around.

 

People don't see it that way..

 

I can think of quite a few reasons off the top of my head:
1. He's a very successful businessman.
2. He can be genuinely funny, even inadvertently so (look at his Twitter account prior to 2015, it's a gold mine).
3. Offers something different compared to the politial establishment.
4. Linked to 3 but another primary reason is his patriotism.

 

Thank you for the second opportunity this morning to criticize the "Demography is Destiny" approach that the Democrat operatives were counting on.

 

1. Maybe it is Trump's (excessive) use of hyperboles that you do hate, not his lies.
All politicians lie, not just Trump.
2. Kleptocratic? That word pretty much defines the entire Biden admin, let's be real here.

 

The last three Presidential elections were all referendums on Donald Trump. When the Democrats nominated a white male, they won. When the Democrats nominated a woman, they lost.

You don't have to like it.

 

Let's see your proof.

 

What's the common feature?

Soaring inequality, oligarchical economics, "entrepreneurs" who milk the state budget
