2024 Election - Trump vs. Harris, important downballot

[gondrin]

Yeah, conservatives were being locked up and banned off of twitter and then they started whining about it saying "WE'RE BEING BANNED FOR EXERCISING OUR FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT" or "WE'RE BEING LOCKED UP FOR BEING CONSERVATIVE" and then when you do even a little bit of digging it's them making massively violent threats to murder and rape people. Conservative speech, especially on modern twitter, is some of the most hateful and violent rhetoric I've ever seen. Death threats, rape threats, profanity, literally everywhere there's a liberal. Y'all embraced this shit and then whined when you got punished for it.

Anyway, conservative October surprises have sucked bigly so far.

Now they seem to believe that 26 year-old-Walz dating the daughter of a Chinese official is big news.

It is looking like the conservative October surprise is to bring an obviously racist comedian to outright tank the Trump campaign and get him to lose.

As a Trump supporter

Holy shit, someone actually admitting to being a Trump supporter. If only more of you... interesting people had the balls to outright say that.

Well the tweet itself is over a year old at this point, even if the tactic itself is older.

I'm sure if you have proof of Republicans "burning ballot boxes," you have turned this into the authorities.

Because only such a thing would make this comparable to a suspect that was found and arrested. If you've got nothing, and this is conjecture, then please wait until your hunches have something behind them.

Awww look how you ignore the rest of what was said. Wonder why that is??!??!?!

[Teriz]

Oh look yet another example of Republicans intentionally engaging in election/voter fraud. How shocking.

The lengths that MAGA is willing to go to help their leader win is truly frightening.

When Kamala wins next week, all hell is going to break loose.

[Kathranis]

Democracy means you get to blame Republicans for violence against Republicans by Democrats.

What violence against Republicans by Democrats?

Trump's first assassin was a Republican accelerationist, as near as anyone can tell.

Second assassin was a right wing populist who voted for Trump and jumped ship when he just delivered the same policy as the establishment, and most recently supported Ramaswamy and Haley.

Just nonstop gaslighting from right wing scumbags. Trump straight up spouting Hitlerian rhetoric, not figuratively or hyperbolically, literally Hitlerian. Rally was top to bottom filled with some of the most unhinged, bigoted statements I've heard from the mouths of politicians outside of secret recordings. And then have the gall to turn around and play victim when they get called out for it.

Bunch of fucking chicken shit crybullies.

... Australian?

Hmm.

Given his views and rhetoric, Austrian would have been more historically accurate guess.

Which is the reason for the Hmm.
They don't seem to teach geography wherever he's from, which is especially weird since he claims to be in the EU. You'd think someone from mainland Europe would know the difference between Austria and Australia.

As long as she wins, I will not be worried about any “hell” MAGA are capable of unleashing. The thing about your movement only appealing to morons is that it becomes very difficult to actually achieve anything with those people. She just has to win next week. Please swing states people, just go vote.

[Warning]

Excellent speech by Kamala Harris and very well delivered. Her campaign has been rock solid. I hope everyone turns up and makes her the next President.

[Cthulhu 2020]

Biden calling all Trump supporters "Garbage" and all of the Trumpers are clutching their pearls about it like their guy didn't literally just call all of Puerto Rico garbage last night.

It was happening on these very forums during the Obama years. The good ole days when conservatives would drop slurs, tell people to kill themselves, call for violence against minorities, make "edgy" jokes about sexual assault, then when they'd catch a ban from Endus or one of the other mods they'd cry about being persecuted for their beliefs. They either have zero self awareness or believe they should get a pass for literally anything they do "because they have rights".

"Give me your tired and your poor who can stand on their own two feet and who will not become a public charge."

Sounds familiar...

"Give me your tired willfully ignorant, your poor wealthy,
Your huddled masses alpha whites yearning to breathe free oppress anything other,
The wretched refuse rabidly fascist of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost self-entitled wannabe dictators to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

[tehdang]

It's a good thing that's not what I'm doing.

Again, rather than actually engage with the topic at-hand you'd rather clutch pearls over the chosen words used.

I'm just trying to understand your response. The "pattern of violent rhetoric and threats against poll watches/workers from Republicans" and it's applicability to a news story on a Democrat threatening violence against a Republican recruiter.

What violence against Republicans by Democrats?

Please respond on-topic to what I posted: https://www.mmo-champion.com/threads...4#post54579854
I'm sure you want whatabout assassination attempts against Trump when that's relevant. I'm glad this wasn't a news story about another assassination attempt.

So, Trump already has his official scapegoat if he loses.

Trump has already selected a scapegoat if the election doesn’t go his way

It appears that Donald Trump is already lining up a scapegoat if he loses the election - chair of the Republican National Committee Michael Whatley.

Trump has given Whatley the mission of building the Republicans’ sizable “election integrity” group. The ex-commander-in-chief has been using his false claims about election fraud to argue that he didn’t lose the 2020 election and has been saying during the 2024 campaign that Vice President Kamala Harris can only win by cheating.

The Republicans claim that they have accumulated as many as 200,000 poll watchers and poll workers. The program is set to be used to gather evidence of voter fraud amid GOP lawsuits taking aim at rules governing voting eligibility and ballot processing procedures, Axios notes.

The program has taken on a larger role within the party than actual voter outreach.

Trump called out Whatley during a rally in North Carolina, where Whatley has been the state GOP chair, last month, saying, “We’re counting on this guy ... you better win or you’re never going to be able to come back here. He doesn’t win, he won’t be at RNC and he will no longer be in North Carolina. He’ll be looking for a job.”

In private, Trump has said that the only reason he may lose is if Whatley fails in upholding “election integrity,” according to Axios.

Under Whatley’s leadership, the RNC has sent Trump supporters to state offices on the county and secretary of state levels running paid poll workers programs, and the chair has hired attorneys, including Christina Bobb, who has spread false claims about the 2020 election.

Trump aides Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita told Axios that Whatley has done a “phenomenal job.”

“President Trump and his team have the utmost confidence in Chairman Whatley and everything the RNC has done to win this election,” they added.

A colleague who warned Whatley before he became GOP chair that he would be the target of Trump’s fury if the former president loses the election told Axios that Whatley is well aware of his predicament.

“‘He’s like, ‘I know that if we lose, I’m gonna get the blame,’” the colleague told the outlet.

Trump has instructed the RNC to focus on “election integrity” while he focuses on getting Republican voters to turn up to vote.

In August, Trump said in Asheboro, North Carolina that “Our primary focus is not to get out to vote,” but instead to “make sure” that Democrats “don’t cheat, because we have all the votes you need.”

There’s no evidence of widespread election fraud and officials called the 2020 election the “most secure in American history.”

I'm just trying to understand your response.

Not even you believe this.

On topic: Dixie was, in fact, played at the Trump rally on purpose.

Real estate investor Steve Witkoff walked out to an Elvis Presley recording of "An American Trilogy" — a compilation of three folk songs that begins with "Dixie." Only the Dixie portion of the recording played during both his entrance and exit.

"How good of a song is that?" Witkoff, who is from New York City, asked at the top of his speech.

"Wait, that wasn't Trump."

That music was on the playlist and hit on purpose. Yes, it was.

Never forget the immortal words of the brilliant tactician, General Robert E. Lee, "Never fight uphill, me boys. Never fight uphill."

This is from the Las Vegas Sphere.

I will say campaign spending is effin crazy. Money spent still on antiquated tv ads and flyers, etc., I wonder if this works or both parties just set in their ways. I quickly skimmed some articles saying there is no effect, idk. I'm cynic here and say they are just lazy and keep doing the same thing that was done 20, 30 or 50 years ago.

What else should the campaigns spend money on? The potential uses are limited, of course.
