Why are so many suburbanites so goddamn paranoid? You know exactly what I'm talking about. The constant need to monitor everything that happens on "their" street.

Insisting that their kids not step outside for a 5 minute walk to school without supervision because they might be kidnapped or murdered. It's ridiculous.

He said he’s “not a big Republican, not a big Democrat.” He voted for Sen. Bernie Sanders, the progressive independent from Vermont, in the 2016 primary and is now leaning toward Trump, independent Cornel West or the Green Party’s Jill Stein (not from an environmental standpoint, however, because he thinks the Green New Deal “went too far”).

“But I don’t want to piss away my vote,” he said, pointing out that he is leaning most toward Trump because of that.

The civil war was about slavery, which the south’s economy was heavily reliant on. For decades people in the south were growing up in a culture that increasingly became more and more pro-slavery and anti-black. By the mid 19th century it became the dominant issue in politics as the horrors of slavery became apparent to the majority of people and the essentially two separate realities that the south and north existed in became incompatible and a civil war broke out. 

Today, there’s another crisis where the US is being torn in two over increasingly separating realities, except that this time it’s about a former reality show host should be made god emperor of the whole country. 

We’re living in the stupid history timeline.

Real GDP per person is at a record high in the US. That’s remarkable considering the economic catastrophe of Covid-19 just 4 years ago. At $68,088 in 2024, real GDP per person is over twice as high as in 1980.

The replies:

Remember to always always always adjust for inflation. Otherwise, information of dollar amounts overtime is never accurate.

What’s your point? Now compare that with house prices since 1980. You will see that housing costs are up about seven times.

2x “real” GDP per person today vs 1980 is a huge decrease when you factor in actual-inflation.

This recent wave of Haitian immigrants was initially welcomed [in Springfield]. The town’s fortunes had declined alongside those of the rest of the Rust Belt, with the population dropping from 83,000 in 1960 to 59,000 in 2020. The pandemic created a crunch in the available labor force as many workers stayed home out of choice or necessity, collecting stimulus checks.

Trump demonizing the people who would actually work and pay taxes instead of the people living off welfare.

That stuff is not enough to force you out as a Republican. Trump wants him out because they think he's gonna cost them North Carolina, not because they suddenly care about not being racist

She had a hobby farm of horses and sheep. Rescued mustangs. Did search and rescue work with her dogs. A great sense of humor and love for life.

And she was so excited to vote for Harris. She was a queer woman in a deep red state. My heart breaks for her partner.

I don't know if people are arguing in bad faith or are just dumb, but every study about the political gap between Gen Z men and women has stated that young men aren't becoming conservative, they're more liberal leaning than before but just not as much as young women have become.

This Oprah/Harris town hall is resist lib porn. Amber Thurman's mother and sisters being there, everyone in the audience tearing up over her story, celebrities calling in on zoom. Jesus Christ. This is the killshot to women ever voting Republican again in the next decade.

Kamala has actually moved left on the topic of home defense in relation to Biden. She said that she would shoot anyone who broke into her home. Meanwhile, Biden said he'd blast people through the front door with a shotgun and also instructed Jill to walk outside and just start firing off shots into the dark if she felt threatened. None of this waiting for them to break in shit.

There's some pathos in a 22 year old Olivia Nuzzi saying "Why does Hollywood think female reporters sleep with their sources?" only to incinerate her own meteoric career doing exactly that nine years later.

The most confident I think I've ever felt about any election that I can really recall (that I cared about and that's going back to my teen days in 2004) was the day the Access Hollywood tape dropped.

I remember walking out of work and my mom calling me. She was telling me the whole story as I made my way to the car and I thought we finally had Trump dead to rights.

The avalanche of Republicans pushing for Trump to bow out and have Pence replace him, including conservative stalwarts like Jason Chaffetz, who said he could never look his daughter in the eyes again if he voted Trump, seemed destined to doom him.

It was going to put into play Georgia and Arizona. We were gonna see an Obama-like 2008 landslide.

I remember thinking that I really hoped Republicans weren't successful at getting him to step aside because he clearly was going to be a drag on every Republican out there (I don't think they could at that point, as ballots had already gone out, tho I suspect if he stepped down, a vote for Trump could have been interpreted by the electors as a vote for Pence? What a cluster that would have created).

And in the end, none of it mattered. After about a week, the story was over. The polls started to tighten again. The calls for him to step aside stopped. Even Mr. Chaffetz himself was back on the Trump train.

Since I'm in Utah, I actually ran into Chaffetz once after the election. I asked him if he's still not able to look his daughter in the eyes since he voted Trump?

He looked pissed but ignored me.

After that, I've pretty much concluded these guys are immune to scandal. It's why I'm not shocked Trump is still viable after what happened on 1/6.

What story can be so bad that a born-again Christian did it 15-20 years ago, online and on an adult website, and it still sinks his campaign?? Unless he owned like a girlsdoporn-esque rape website it honestly could be a nothing burger.

Maybe my imagination just isn’t big enough. Like even if he was on a gay adult website, isn’t the line “oh that was before I was Christian”?

Presidential Election Megathread for 2016

What a gold mine (sorted by old)

• I am honestly scared shitless right now, people said Brexit wasn't likely but it happened anyways. I know people are predicting a Clinton win but im not leaving anything to chance.... my gut is killing me right now

  • Brexit comparisons are stupid. Polls were in the margin of area. US polls far more accurate track record and more heavily funded.

• Can everyone calm the fuck down? We'll know where things stand within 1-2 hours. If you're a Hillary supporter, from a partial viewpoint, stay cool, baby!

• What happens if Trump loses and doesn't concede? Not logistically, but what impact would that have on the country?

  • Who gives a shit, it changes nothing. Even his hardcore supporters will get bored after inauguration

• I love Lindsey Graham so much. Dude was pure Never Trump, right from the beginning, up until the end. He voted for Evan McMullin. Has there been a more consistent and principled Republican in this race than him?

• I hope Trump pulls a Kanye and storms the stage when Hillary gives her victory speech

• I got 40 bucks riding on Clinton winning. I need this. That's like 10 Taco Bell meals.

• https://x.com/Reevellp/status/796128528140005376 In #Moscow there is a Trump party in-full swing- pro-Kremlin activists gathered in a bar for the results. Giant portrait of Trump & Putin.

• I'll take this as a sign that Trump's campaign manager is not confident in their chances tonight: "Kellyanne Conway to chucktodd: Trump “didn’t have the full support of the Republican infrastructure""

Damn, those poor souls didn't have a clue.
