One Term Celebrity Politician - Episode XV - Ye's Running Mate

[Tyrath]

trump already lost once, because people didn't like the job he did as president

but ok

Trump only lost because of how he handled the pandemic. And even then he lost by like 100k votes between 3 swing states. If popular vote elected the president, I'd be a lot less worried.

It's okay the economy is doing great guys. I also carry hot sauce in my lab coat just in case.

Trump had former NFL star Lawrence Taylor join him at his New Jersey rally. LT is infamous for being a registered sex offender for having sex with a 16 year old.

[Tymon]

He's also a lot more famous for being the best linebacker in NFL history in a sport dominated by right wing fans, so I would say this is 100% an excellent idea from his campaign

Trump cozying up with other abusers prolly doesn't move the needle at all honestly. Ed is silly

[Lokus]

Why would people care about the criminal nature of the people Trump surrounds himself with if people don't even care about Trump's own criminal transgressions? And Trump can still win the same way he won in 2016. A couple thousand votes in the correct states are enough to negate a couple million votes from other states.

[TsingTao]

I think the subset of Americans that would vote for Trump and would be dissuaded for voting for Trump because of this endorsement is so small as to be essentially non-existent. You would have to have already ignored all of Trump's own accusations/issues and know who LT is and know that he is a registered offender AND have his past matter more than Trump's for it to change your vote. That's what, maybe four people?

Like, idk what people are smoking but I wish I had stuff that good

Trump already lost, why would a rematch be any different? He's out raising Trump on all fronts, wait til 2 months before the election when he's flooding every airwave with "Are you making more money now, buying better stuff, going on vacation the same or more than 4 years ago? You're welcome and vote for Biden"

Is anyone on these forums worse off financially compared to 4 years ago? Wait til Biden spends money reminding you.

yes but then the facts don’t care about your feelings crowd is gonna pivot hard to feelings

[Salodin]

Like, Trump won ONE election, and Republicans have underperformed in every election since including Trump's second election. Somehow, people look at this record as a strength. Y'all are taking vibes too far just like the vibecession people are.

Uh, no. You underestimate how stupid people can be and how little they care about objective facts.

Can people afford a house? No? Congrats. That's all they need and they don't give a shit if they can't still afford gas they care that the numbers at the pump look higher than they remember and that's that.

Some of y'all keep overlooking this shit and it's concerning.

I think Biden objectively has a better chance of winning now than last election but I've no faith humanity will rule Trump out when the choice on the other end of the ballot is a Democrat.

[Tyrath]

And once again. All it takes is a small amount of people who voted last time sitting out in swing states "because Gaza" for the whole thing to go in a different direction.

More people can (slightly better) afford a house now than under Trump's presidency. Hard to think of any metric that was better under Trump than Biden, including Republican priorities like energy dependency and the stock market.

You mean the same ones that already didn't vote for Biden because he isn't Bernie? This demographic gloats about wasting their vote every election, why are pretending this is any different than the last time?

No. Believe it or not, more people than you can see in front of you exist.

Not everything is a fucking monolith and the margin of Biden's win was tiny last time. I don't know why this is so difficult for you to grasp that it will only take a small shift in those numbers for him to lose the swing states.

Wut

[Tymon]

Idk why you'd even repost anything that guy says. Other than to point out that Twitter is literally just an astroturfed fascist enclave now.

Rust belt laborers largely won 2016 for Trump in the margins on the basis that he was going to help them financially in their failing industries (coal, oil, rail, etc)

He then lost 2020 largely in the same margins from those people either voting Biden or abstaining because he didn't do jack shit.

Biden hasn't either. These are people who live in the here and now, are completely disconnected politically, and vote entirely in their own perceived self interest. I suspect they will swing back to Trump.

Blaming bernie bros for every Dem loss or implying that 100% of voters from 2020 has stayed on the same side is denial of the reality that there are MILLIONS of swing voters in the USA, despite how insane and ludicrous it is to imagine, and they will, once again, decide the election in a small handful of counties therein a small handful of states.

[Roranora]

tbf grasping how fine the margins were is even harder than understanding graphs
