2024 US Presidential Elections Megathread

Ah, I was mistaken about The Atlantic.

Then again you Americans might have a different view of what's Left or Right. I wonder where they stand on eating cats.

[The Brain]

My impression of The Atlantic is that it's more of a (high-status) notice board than a magazine with tight quality and agenda.

I was told the goose story came from a picture of a black city employee clearing road kill out of the road in Columbus, Ohio and had nothing really to do with Haitians or Springfield.

But rumors are flying around now.

Got to love the racism.
Really hope black groups seize on this. Both politically and for the potential humorous mocking that can be done by blaming photos of black people in innocent situations on immigrants doing something mad.

On the original goose story, I've seen different narratives about civic minded Haitians picking up road kill to keep streets clean and grabbing geese out of a lake to eat.  Both true?  Anyone know?

Do people hunt and eat geese?  Are they protected?

Especially as I seem to remember a couple of election cycles ago it was maybe Mike Huckabee who I think talked about eating squirrels and maybe roadkill. Fair to say what that is taken to signify looks to have flipped.

Well, last month a photo circulated of RFK Jr. eating a dog.

And people wonder why I never vote third party. All the third parties are not serious parties. None of them are actually serious about winning City Council Place 2 for Anyville, USA much less President.

Though even by the levels of party disfunction I normally associate with third parties that is impressive.

I love the guy who claims the right to engage in "ultimate forms of violence" because Kamala Harris might someday propose a mandatory buyback.

A mandatory buyback starts to look good when you consider it would take guns out of the hands of such irresponsible fucks.

Though libertarianism is generally just mutual masturbation, it does harbor some dangerous kooks.

Aren't they like the only minority in New Hampshire?

I don't think you have the right to engage in violence against people because of things they might do in the future. Especially things she has clearly stated her intention to not do.

But I clearly don't know all the rights a Libertarian claims to have.

Electing a black man spun the racist half of America into a frenzy that culminated in Trump's election. Having them suffer the indignation of a black woman becoming Presidentay turn ugly.

Teamsters are endorsing neither candidate.

Teamsters are endorsing neither candidate.

Tough spot they are in. One is an imbecile the other is a woman.

I think polling showed their members were trending for Trump.
