2024 U.S. Presidential and State election thread - I'm gonna... I'm gonna... VOOT!!! I'm VOOOOOTING!!!

[errforceonezz]

It's really crazy to see how many people are convinced that they have always been anti tarriff, when is obvious none of these idiots has ever even considered what they think about tarriffs before. There is an entire class of people that will just accept what the media tells them is the consensus popular opinion about something even when it's completely made up out of nothing.

There is also a problem on the left (at least online) with a real lack of ability to think more than one step at a time. You see it in shit like how they frame the anti tarriff stuff, and in how they conduct their election talking points. If something is immediately beneficial they will always gravitate towards it even if it has horrendous consequences a week later.
It's why you can never convince them that minimum wage is not the right way to fix low wages.

I think the main take away is: the Electoral College HELPS Democrats

They've seen themselves win the popular vote so many elections in a row they were convinced they're the majority of the country, and if only it weren't for that pesky Electoral College, they'd win every election!

What this election proved is that there are plenty of Republicans in blue states like California who don't vote because they know their state is going blue no matter what, but if they did, they can in fact win the popular vote, and if there were no Electoral College, that many Republicans and more would vote every single time!

Yet somehow this simple fact will go over Democrats heads. The left are proof ignorance isn't always bliss it would seem.

They sell in ounces. Asians buy this stuff in 30 to 50 lbs bags. Rice is a water-intensive crop that needs high humidity. California is--at best--a temperate dry place. That's fine for root vegetables and trees, but not if you need to have stagnant water to surround rice plants.

Rice doesn't need to be surrounded by water to grow there are plenty of dry rice farms around the world. The actual point of the water in a rice paddy isn't that the rice needs the water but rather that it doesn't mind it, It's a very simple but effective form of weed control.

While at war and blockaded, yes. I could look up the 2018 numbers, but please don't make me.

Never mind, I just did.
It was Russian exports that got hit by the war primarily by the looks of it, Ukraine is still nowhere near the top.

These retards make me seethe so much. Even in their makebelieve fantasy world where Starlink was providing network services, Starlink is a NETWORK, not a SYSTEM (relative to this discussion). So if network traffic isn't encrypted, that's on the voting SYSTEM, not Starlink. If tallies are being modified, that is occurring on the SYSTEM, not the network. The dumb bitch didn't even explain what was occuring that would cause tallies to be inaccurate.

California’s water conservation would be better if they stopped growing almonds. They’re way too water intense for the California climate

Are you saying it's a bad idea to grow pistachios in the desert? Are pistachios not meant to grow in a desert climate???

 

[oh no its pipkun]

A lot of it goes to our shitty education system. Even when I was in school our lesson on tariffs boiled down to "when they want to decrease supply of something they use tariffs when they want to increase production of something they use subsidies."
These people have been told by others who they consider Smart People that tariffs are apocalyptically bad and that Trump will only use tariffs etc. They don't comprehend that the US produces a lot of valuable trade material which could factor into leveraging trade and that tariffs fall into a carrot and stick approach to trade that can be beneficial and result in domestic job growth when done properly.
But nope, tell these retards that their anime figures and temu chinkshit will go up in price and suddenly they're economic experts on why tariffs are the worst thing ever. They don't love globalism based on any moral principle they love it because it allows them to buy cheap knockoff shit made in sweatshops and slave factories, it all boils down to their addiction to consooming.

How will history look back on Trump?

How will history look back on Trump?

Hopefully as the greatest troll to have ever lived. The man insulted his way to the presidency twice by verbally bitch slapping whoever got in his way.

 

[Blewberry Nausea]

How will history look back on Trump?

Depends on who’s writing it as always.

Regarding schools? Hitler 2.0. An evil man that stopped "progress" and caused suffering for gorillians.

Patrick Bet-David: "I think Kamala's attractive. She's physically very attractive. Even Trump doesn't know how take shots are her looks. Tell me who has been a more attractive person in politics than her, female side. Maybe AOC?"

I thought I'd never see that kind of outside of these threads.

[Not Really Here]

It's probably going to take people a while to come to terms with the fact that if you were left wing in 2020-2024, you were complicit it or outright supported the worlds largest child sex abuse ring

How will history look back on Trump?

They don't have the ability to introspect.

Arkansas grows over half the rice the US produces.

See, this actually makes sense. Arkansas and Louisiana have the right climate for it. That little blip in Northern California is where some of the legit farmland is and even then it's not ideal.

It's probably going to take people a while to come to terms with the fact that if you were left wing in 2020-2024, you were complicit it or outright supported the worlds largest child sex abuse ring

And the COVID regime which made Walz and Newsom objectively bad candidates outside of Kamala's swirl of suck.

I hope not cause otherwise they're retarded. I expect him to be seen more sympathetically at some point. Especially since the left's gonna find another r Republican to demonize once Trump's out of thr public conscious.

After this year I think Biden is a strong contender for that category. The dude used what remaining cognitive ability he has to orchestrate the dismantling of the Democrat power apparatus for at least 8 years or so based on congressional maps and Trump's sweep. He even conned his former pal Obama so well that Obama also thought he was fully retarded, which allowed Joe to orchestrate this. But Dark Brandon was not just retarded, he was patient.

Biden's revenge on the DNC was as beautiful as it was effective. After betraying his own party seemingly for his own amusement I find myself with some respect for the man.
