2024 Presidential Election

Your characterization of people on here "sobbing over how their daughters' rights will now be violated" reveals continued trolling.

Nobody was sobbing, and concern about the potential effects of this administration policy are perfectly legitimate.
Man, you are quite the internet troll detector.
 
"They're eating the cats, they're eating the dogs." proved a more effective message than "Let me help you buy your first house."

America at its finest....
Yeah. She totally only cared about the coastal elites unlike that billionaire real estate guy that lived in NYC until a few years ago.
 
I ask because I have two daughters (24 and 26). I don’t have a concern about how a Trump presidency is going to affect their rights. And they do not either.
Do you feel your daughters are representative of the situations that all women might find themselves in?

“All women”? No, I don’t presume anyone is representative of all humans, all of their sex, race, gender, etc. They are both strong, independent, post-graduate college educated young working women. And their reasons for voting for Trump were different from each other

But question was about women’s rights. Specifically what beside access to abortion makes someone concerned about Trump presidency for their daughters.
 
random exit poll I looked at: ..."I have little faith that this election will be fair!" "We won? Oh, well I guess I was wrong!"

How confident are you that this year's election is being conducted fairly and accurately?​

Confident (68%)
62% voted D
35% voted R
Not confident (31%)
17% voted D
81% voted R

Regardless your stance on abortion I feel this is another misstep by Harris......she tried to make it THE issue of the campaign and logistically.....talking vote totals only here.... it isn't. Texas, Oklahoma, Alabama, Utah etc are going to pass crazy punitive abortion laws so I get that it is top of ticket for a lot of voters......problem is Trump was going to win those regardless. Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania aren't going to do that so if you are the parent of 16 year old boy and 14 year old daughter your son is in a bigger threat of going to a war there has been little to no diplomatic headway on than your daughter's reproductive health being legislated in a threatening way or the economy is a bigger issue. She also campaigned on stances she can't accomplish without a vote of house/senate so even if she won she may not have been able to deliver on any of it.

Not to whatabout anything, but this is also true with regards to new President-Elect.

I didn't feel she made abortion 'the' issue (one of the top ones though) I feel people didn't trust/understand her plans for economic growth...I feel trump made immigration and the economy the main issues, and most care(d) about the economy and trusted he can deliver cuz he's such a successful business man (or is he?)....most people felt the economy was poor and so we blame joe/Kamala...economy was good early years of trump (thanks to Obama - IMO) and got bad because of COVID...Biden inherited a bad economy and was just now seeing progress (just too little too late)...I believe the economy will continue to get better regardless of who was elected and trump will get/take the credit...
kamala's mistakes were she entered the race too late, would not have been 'the dem peoples first choice, she was a minority female, she spent too much time on trump's character (his voters did not care), she didn't distance herself from Joe, and she got the blame for not doing anything as VP ('she's been there 4 years, why didn't she do anything these last 4 years?')

This guy sums it up nicely.

 
I can't wait for the narrative in April to be "our economy is the strongest it's ever been, and you have trump to thank for it"! When absolutely nothing has changed. And for sycophants to eat it up.
 
Yep. Right now on MSNBC on “The Beat with Ari Melber” he is talking about how too many Dem voters live in a bubble…and have little understanding of the perspective of millions of their fellow citizens. Ironically, he is kinda condemning the media that feeds America only what they want to hear.

This is pretty possible. No one seems to have noticed falling grocery prices the last couple of months.

Also for months I've heard how record DJIA numbers don't matter to the average person. What good is Wall Street for Main Street and stuff like that. When (if) it keeps running up, that's gonna become a whole different narrative.
 
We tend to overcomplicate elections. Trump likely would've sailed into a second consecutive term without the pandemic, and Biden or Harris would've had a much better chance in this election had it not been for inflation. People tend to vote for change when they aren't happy.

I'm not surprised that Trump won. I am surprised that he's winning the popular vote. That sends a strong message.
Totally agree that this showed Covid defeated Trump in 2020. Funny thing for Dems is that defeat actually gave them 4 additional years of him in the limelight.

And I also think last night showed the Dems wasted a lot of time, energy and effort on political prosecutions, hearings etc that ultimately empowered Trump more when they should have focused on the things that actually mattered to people. Clearly moderate Republicans and independents really didn’t care about those things. Republicans would do good to take note of that the next couple of years with power, and not get into a revenge tour.
