The 2024 US Presidential Election Discussion thread

[Stumpy]

How on earth can septics be so dumb?

Because what you fail to realize you coffin dodger living trapped in a condo is that money covers many sins and shortcomings. The US absolutely puts your economy to shame and continues to do so and always will. So as long as the economy and tech sector grows, nobody gives a rat ass who is President. He has no impact.

As I said, US presidents nowadays are just mouth pieces for the media to talk about. So yeah these 2 to worthless fuktards are embarrassing, it will have little to no impact to me no matter who wins.

The economy keeps rolling along. Forget the immigrant and abortion BS. 95% of the population could give a shit.

Based on this debate people will vote Trump because Biden is about ready to croak not that the convicted Felon is a good candidate. His hooker wife will enjoy another 4 years.

I say Vote None Of The Above.

[harrybarracuda]

Is Landreth hiding in shame, or he just can't bring himself to post in a Harry thread?

Oh spare us please.



Biden needs to quit and quit soon.

The Republicans are just going to hammer the fuck out of this disaster and as someone pointed out on CNN, they're going to be telling everyone that if they vote for Biden they're voting for President Kamala Harris.

And that isn't a good thing.

As much as I'm a fan of the "economy" as you try and paint it, your failing democracy is now running trillion dollar deficits just to stay afloat, and the Clinton days of balancing the budget are long, long gone.

Added: I'm shocked to read just the Interest on the national debt is approaching $1 TRILLION a year.

Even the Democrat pundits are calling for an intervention.

What a shitshow.

As I said, you septics are as sophisticated as the lumpen Russian serf.

You really are quite stupid.

I presume you meant to say "couldn't" give a shit. And you'd be wrong.

Poor old stupid Stumpy. He’s actually quite typical of the seppo refugee here in Thailand. Thinks America is on the verge of collapse, creates a suburban meme from his fantasy days of dreaming Scottsdale was the future in Nakhon Nowhere and like all poorly educated seppo oafs believes everyone thinks as he.

The problem is, they have no imagination but are blindly puerile in the belief that life can be measured by materialism and nothing else matters.

I suppose that is why in their democracy a convicted fraudulent felon and rapist can stand as a presidential candidate.

As I said, seppos rival lumpen Russians in the stupidity stakes.

[Stumpy]

Thinks America is on the verge of collapse,

You stupid twat. Completely the opposite. The President is a mouth piece. Things will forge forward as they always have.

What a dolt SA.

[beachbound]

A disaster for Biden.

That’s being kind.

He will have to step aside, if they want to keep the White House.

Our democracy has been broken for a long time. It has only really become obvious when you have 2 candidates that are totally inept running to be the captain.

We have our candidates, they are both shit and we will vote and live with it and either Fox or CNN will have stories.

I am curious how many might not vote this time around. My Dad for the first time said he is not voting. He said neither of them have earned my vote. Which is a fair assessment.

How on earth can septics be so dumb?

We work hard on it mate but stupidity hardly unique to us seppos. Assume you are familiar with the term BREXIT?

I watched the entire 90 minutes of the shitshow as did many millions around the world. Another embarrassing display of just how far US politics has degraded into the shitter. Now the pundits are all yapping about who won. No one won!

Time to flush the toilet America. Dump both these dudes and get some young blood to run for Prez as neither are fit for the job.

[Troy]

Trump will be President. He'll screw things up. He'll get himself assassinated. World will offer outrage while rejoicing.

[39TG]

Putin won. I was expecting a lot better from Biden given his State of the Union speech.

The French and British need to be ready to put their own soldiers on the frontlines in Ukraine by the close of 2025.

I claim no superiority for the Brits, far from it.

Over 17.6 million assorted fuckwits, delusional and credulous morons and the merely ill educated Inflicted upon Britain the worst socio- economic wound in modern British political history and in doing so snatched from you septics the prized crown of stupidity. Sadly six months later you retrieved that crown by voting in the Orange Pig. But you redeemed yourselves and kicked him out in favour of a normal chap whereas the Brits have persevered with the idiocy of Brexit and in doing so have irretrievably destroyed the Conservative Party as well as putting a stone into the shoe of its economy.

But now it seems you are to return back down to that road leading to perdition, evidently because the voters prefer a bombastic fraudulent crook to an aged senescent albeit decent chap. A choice that probably will owe as much to indifference as to foolishness. Stumpy and his equally stupid father clearly see an abnegation from democracy to be a solution.

As Eliot said, the world will end in a whimper, that last self pitying whine of the stupid as their idiocy drags them down into the sewer of their deserved oblivion.

ItÂ’s the likes of Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova and possibly the Baltic states I feel for who will be sold down the river because of a bunch of intellectually lazy, fat arsed, dull witted seppos are too fucking stupid to distinguish their distended assholes from a hole in the ground.

If I was a seppo I would not tell anyone, I'd say that I am Canadian.

Where's Trump going to be inaugurated? Rikers?

I don't think Starmer will be as dumb as Theresa May and rush to Rikers to kiss the new President's ass. It was too cringeworthy the first time.

[nidhogg]

One can't help but feel that the first party to bite the bullet and dump its candidate and pick someone with some semblance of creditability will romp it home.

[nidhogg]

^ Just to note that Ruth Bader Ginsburg f*cked the country by stubbornly staying on past her expiry date. Looks like Biden will do the same.

[harrybarracuda]

So there's supposed to be another debate in 75 days.

Can anyone see it being anything but another, possibly worse disaster?

Kamala got really snarky on CNN, she's about to appear on MSNBC.

ATLANTA — Above all, Joe Biden 's allies wanted him to demonstrate strength and energy on the debate stage Thursday night to help put to rest questions about the 81-year-old Democrat's physical and mental acuity.

But on the biggest stage in U.S. politics, Biden did not meet their modest expectations.

And by the end of the 90-minute showdown, the Democratic president's allies — party strategists and rank-and-file voters alike — descended into panic following a debate performance punctuated by stumbles, uncomfortable pauses, and a quiet speaking style that was often difficult to understand.

Publicly and privately, Democrats questioned whether the party could or should replace him as the party's presidential nominee against the 78-year-old former President Donald Trump this fall.

"I'm not the only one whose heart is breaking right now. There's a lot of people who watched this tonight and felt terribly for Joe Biden," former Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill said on MSNBC. "I don't know if things can be done to fix this."

For now, the biggest question for Biden is whether the damage is permanent. Many voters have not yet tuned into an election that's still more than four months away. The president and his allies are sitting on millions of dollars that have yet to be spent on advertising and swing-state infrastructure.

And there's precedent for recovering from rough debate performances, including Barack Obama 's rebound from an uneven encounter with Mitt Romney in 2012. Democrat John Fetterman went on to defeat a Republican rival in 2022 after struggling through a debate several months after experiencing a stroke.

Biden's 2024 reelection campaign has been based on a gamble that voters would ultimately support an 81-year-old lifelong politician with weak approval ratings in a rematch that few Americans want. Despite such liabilities, Biden's team insisted that he was uniquely positioned to stop Trump from returning to the White House — just as he did four years ago.

They have long predicted that Biden's winning political coalition would eventually embrace the Democratic president after being sufficiently reminded of Trump's chaotic leadership. But there were little signs of such confidence in the wake of Biden's underwhelming debate performance.

"It was a slow start. That's obvious to everyone. I'm not going to debate that point," Vice President Kamala Harris said on CNN after the debate. "I'm talking about the choice in November. I'm talking about one of the most important elections in our collective lifetime."

Biden's surrogates were slow to enter the post-debate spin room in Atlanta. And when they emerged, they largely avoided questions from the press. Instead, they railed against Trump's long list of falsehoods during the debate. Among other things, Trump didn't disavow those who attacked the Capitol on January 6, 2021.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a potential future presidential candidate who was Biden's most prominent surrogate in the Atlanta spin room, urged Democrats not to panic.

"I think it's unhelpful. And I think it's unnecessary. We've got to go in, we've got to keep our heads high," Newsom said in an interview on MSNBC. "We've got to have the back of this president. You don't turn back because of one performance.
What kind of party does that?"

Still, signs of anxiety were apparent as Democrats began to openly encourage the party to find an alternative to Biden. Some party officials pointed to a social media post from former Obama campaign aide Ravi Gupta.

"Every Democrat I know is texting that this is bad," Gupta wrote on X. "Just say it publicly and begin the hard work of creating space in the convention for a selection process. I'll vote for a corpse over Trump, but this is a suicide mission."

Under current Democratic Party rules, it would be difficult, if not impossible, to replace Biden as the party's nominee
without his cooperation or without the party officials being willing to rewrite its rules at the August national convention.

The president won the overwhelming majority of Democratic delegates during the state-by-state primary process. And party rules state that, "Delegates elected to the national convention pledged to a presidential candidate shall in all good conscience reflect the sentiments of those who elected them."

Republicans, meanwhile, were giddy about Biden's lackluster performance. But Trump co-campaign chief dismissed chatter about whether Democrats would try to nominate someone other than Biden.

"There's so many political experts on X, so we'll hear a lot from them, I'm sure, in the next few days because they've all run so many campaigns," Trump campaign senior adviser Chris LaCivita said sarcastically. "But the only way that happens is if Joe Biden voluntarily steps down, and he's not going to do that."

Thursday's debate may be imprinted on voters' minds for the foreseeable future with Biden and Trump not scheduled to meet on the debate stage again for another 75 days.

Biden's debate performance spurs Democratic panic about his ability to win

A silly cartoon drawing an analogy where none exists.

Sunak is unwanted, unpopular and doesn’t even have the support of his party which is forecasted to lose more seats in this election than at any other time since 1906 whereas Labour have the full support of the PLP and, according to the polls, the people.

Needless to say, the Murdoch dominated Pro Israeli right wing papers are all peddling the lie that no one really wants to vote for Labour but cannot bring themselves to vote for a Punjabi Boy and his cabinet of losers.

Labour are on course for a landslide.

The US election is of course a joke but then, with an electorate comprising a significant proportion of halfwits, cretins, morons and rednecked knuckle dragging bible thumping fat arsed neanderthals, one wouldn’t expect much else.

Well he'll need to do it before he has the UK recognise the state of Palestine
