Game Thread 2024 Election Night Results Thread!

Gas was closer to $3 a gallon compared to $4 like it is now. Groceries significantly cheaper. I’m spending $400-$500 more a month on gas & groceries than I did in 2019. That’s less money I have to spend on other things that boost the economy & support local businesses.

Seriously man... are you forgetting why/when the prices spiked? It started with COVID and the companies decided to be greedy as fuck. That's not on the President.

the latinos who apparently voted for him totally deserve having their families deported now.

Which white man do we think would have beaten Trump in 2024, and why?

don't know....haven't really looked at the Democratic bench. I'm just convinced that no progressive woman running on the Democratic ticket could have overcome the tilted scales of the electoral college

in 2016, Clinton won the popular vote by 3 million. She won the popular vote (discounting 3rd party) 51.1% vs 48.9%

but Trump won the electoral college 306-232. Overall, he only had 45.9% of the popular vote but won 56.9% of the electoral college. That's a totally broken and inherently corrupt system. The conventional wisdom is that a Democrat has to win the popular vote by 4 points in order to overcome the Republican advantage in the electoral college

again, in 2020:

* Oregon - 4.2M people - 7 electoral votes

* Idaho-Alaska-Montana-Wyoming-N & S Dakota - 4.2M people - 19 electoral votes

none of those states would elect a liberal woman president

And it will sadly happen too.

Sheep voting for the wolf that will eat them.

wow.

A GOP government sweep is going to help the rich and fuck over the consumer....don't fool yourself into thinking corporations are liberals. Home Depot is a huge MAGA donor. I only hope they don't fuck with my VA benefits or Social Security at this point. A GOP win is an excuse to jumpstart an apolitical chapter in my life...I'm going fishing tomorrow. Feel bad for civil rights progress...that's going to take a big setback....you can't compare 2019 dollars to 2024 dollars....50 cents in gas prices isn't going to alter your life other than you might make your trips count more. It's not worth losing freedom of choice over.

 

[illmatic99]

wow.

whats shocking? they voted for it apparently, or were too uninformed to care what is written in their manifesto.

Social security is gone, especially if they control Congress too.

I think it's very shocking they voted for him.

 

[illmatic99]

I think it's very shocking they voted for him.

a bunch of his supporters died because they didn't believe in science.

now a bunch of his supporters will get forcibly deported from the country.

and his electorate will just keep growing.

We are tanking for another 4 years.

At least he can't run again

 

[Natebishop3]

I just can't believe how many people are willing to overlook the scary shit that he says that lean towards a dictatorship.

But I guess grocery bills are more important.

 

[Hoopguru]

Got to get that generational candidate.
How embarrassing.

 

[illmatic99]

you underestimate his ability to bend the law. this is a convicted felon we are talking about

Let me guess, you’re white? Lol.

 

[riverman]

So in 48 hours the war in Ukraine should be over according to Trump eh? One phone call away or something like that?

 

[jonnyboy]

RFK Jr would have beaten Trump, Tulsi Gabbard would have beaten Trump, if the DNC got behind either one. But the Demorats expelled them from their party, and persecuted them into the arms of Trump.

Bernie Sanders would’ve beaten Trump in 2020 too. But these mainstream media consuming liberals give their corrupt shit party a pass no matter what. The DNC blatantly cheats and they won’t say shit. And Donald Trump is what they get for it.

Congratulations guys, you got exactly what you ordered. You made this happen more than anyone.

 

[Chris Craig]

So in 48 hours the war in Ukraine should be over according to Trump eh? One phone call away or something like that?

After he's sworn in.

He will gift it to Putin

 

[jonnyboy]

Yes, eating is more important than anything at the end of the day. Fucking duh.

Your party had the lowest bar possible to clear and somehow fumbled it. Just awful.

Dictatorships are more important than paying a few more dollars for frozen pizza. Sorry.

And it's not my party. I'm not a Republican or a Democrat.

He’s just has to make that phone call to Putin.

 

[wizenheimer]

Bernie Sanders would’ve beaten Trump in 2020 too.

bullshit.

Sanders would have lost all three of Mich-Penn-Wisc. He would have lost Georgia and Nevada and Arizona. And he would have probably lost Virginia.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

And it's not my party. I'm not a Republican or a Democrat.

me too

 

[CJ_is_Gone]

I agree with Nate that the DNC and the dems need to take a lot of blame for this. It's misogynistic as hell to say this, but with the electoral college in place, there's simply no way the US is ready to elect a woman. None. And Harris being black was an even bigger obstacle

but the Dems way too quickly coalesced behind Harris in a giddy relief that Biden was dropping out. And they forgot the lessons of 2016.

I don't believe that for a second. Harris is just a train wreck of a candidate....

Put an intelligent, well spoken woman there -> and you would have a landslide victory.

 

[barfo]

Home Depot is a huge MAGA donor.

Not so much Home Depot as their founder, Bernie Marcus. Who coincidentally died today (before the election results).

Hillary was intelligent and well spoken and she lost the electoral college 306-232

Oh is that what would have happened? Lol. Hey what was your prediction about the outcome of this election 5 hours ago? Just curious.
