3 political winners for 2024

The end of the year is a natural time to look back on the previous 12 months, and 2024 was one for the political record books.

This is Salon's view as to why Trump won the election.

Trump won the election because the stupid-ass Democrats ran a woman---AGAIN. There isn't a woman alive in the USA who's electable because the men who voted for Trump are insecure wimps--born losers who haven't got a pot to piss in; men who so terrified of a successful woman being President that they pee their pants in the presence of an accomplished female. What a shame that the men in this country are such simps that they have to live vicariously through a lying crooked unprincipled felon who just happens to be a billionaire. What a goddamned role model for these losers.

Kamala was a weak candidate, but the negativity was a bigger problem.

It is not rational to believe Trump is a fascist, not from a distance nor up close.

Nope just pointing out your on-going hypocrisy and Trump bias.

Conservatives never let facts get in the way of their feelings

Turn your projector off. It's no wonder you cannot see clearly.

I never supported Kamala nor did I like her. I thought she was the worst possible choice to put up against a no-substance criminal flamboyant entertainer cum President like Donald Trump. These American dopes will choose style over substance every time. That is why we're seeing the MAGA right melting down and eating each other right now with Elon, Rams-what's his name and co. pitted against Bannon Greene and co. If the Dems hadn't been so goddamned stupid they would have learned their lesson with Hillary and run a man--ANY f*cking man against Trump. Of course most of the blame for this falls directly on that b*stard Joe Bidens shoulders for not sticking to his pledge to be a one-term transitional President and dropping out sooner.

But all this doesn't change the fact that men by and large these days especially the ones who were drawn to vote for Trump are a bunch of loser wimps and pus*ies occupying the bottom rungs of society because they haven't got the talent or brains to keep up with women who are on career tracks to success. Look at them. Latest headline is that 50% of them are living at home with their parents and are filling up tech schools to learn how to become electricians, plumbers and HVAC serviceman because they don't have the right stuff to get into an ivy league university, or any university at all frankly. Not putting down tech people. Everybody rises to their level of incompetence and we need 50 million plumbers and electricians who will drive down the cost of a service call from $100 to $10 as they undercut each other. But can't you just see a successful female lawyer marrying a plumber or someone like these losers:

Obama will be just fine in the eyes of the normal rational folk. Gotta love an author who is a rightwing jerkoff and wasn’t alive when Obama was President, but yea let us all worry about Obama. Obama like Carter have shown they are good people, they have never sold golden sneakers or ripped off their own charity.

From his childish bs article:
Generally speaking, Democrat men have never been accused of being too manly, but it remains a mystery as to who came up with the idea to browbeat them into voting for Kamala. If it was Obama’s idea, man has he lost his magic. And if it wasn’t his idea, man has he lost his magic.

This is not about how Obama appears to the general public. This is about his behind-the-scenes influence which has been broken.

That quote is on point, so it is odd for you to have issues with it.

Obama's methods did not work and you could see his frustration in every public appearance before the election.

The kid is a hack and it is obvious why you would post it.
The Federalist now shares authors with the New York Post and you want people to take him seriously?

 

[Slartibartfast]

2024 just added data to the trend that people are more interested in themselves than the country and would rather tear down our culture and institutions while hiding behind borders, rather than look inside themselves and see how they can personally keep up with an increasingly sophisticated global economy. Ultimately, we are putting ourselves in the position of another gilded age (if we aren't already in one) and late stage empire through our poor political choices where other countries will continue to surpass us while we prefer to live out the fantasy of a glorified past. We collectively gave up.

 

[Jay59]

The kid is a hack and it is obvious why you would post it.

I don't see a single in your post to support your claim.

The Federalist now shares authors with the New York Post and you want people to take him seriously?

Absolutely.

The Post has been better than the Times in recent years, though that reflects more on how far NYT has fallen. Still, the NY Post is credible.

You are using a rightwing op-ed and I already refuted it. Obama is just fine, he understood what Harris was up against and spoke out to support his party’s candidate. Oh no, he is now some how tarnished because a rightwing hack thinks so?

You have not tried to refute it.

State your facts and your logic.

Obama is just fine, he understood what Harris was up against and spoke out to support his party’s candidate.

He didn't look fine. He looked beaten and despondent.

Oh no, he is now some how tarnished because a rightwing hack thinks so?

Don't be silly.

He was tarnished long ago for spying on the Trump campaign.

The article says the machine he built for the 2008 campaign finally cratered. It's true.

Wait you think the 2008 campaign machine should still be relevant? You understand the Obamas are successful in life, right? They don’t need the rightwing fringe to make them feel whole.
I looked to see what this kid has written in the past and it is all rightwing bs.

You believe Trump was and will be a good President, your opinion is flawed all day long.

You believe Trump was and will be a good President

That he was a good President is a matter of record. The first Trump administration's record of achievement is impressive.

I hope he will repeat his history, but I did not vote for him.

Trump ran on building the border wall and infrastructure he failed while running up debt.

Trump ran on building the border wall and infrastructure he failed while running up debt.

This is what Trump ran on in 2016. He had some success controlling illegal border crossings.

Trump delivered six of the ten which is very good for campaign promises. Infrastructure did not make the top 10.

Control illegal border crossings *​

America First foreign policy ✔​

Reduce regulations ✔​

Appoint constructionist Judges ✔​

Trade agreements ✔​

Repeal/replace ACA *​

Tax reform ✔​

Job creation ✔​

Economic Growth *​

Drain the Swamp​
