The Race For 2024

Yeah right, the last thing we need is a bunch of old duffers that have lost their minds and one foot in the grave voting in crap we have to live with after they’ve shuffled off the earth.

Why did you vote for an old duffer who had lost his mind and has one foot in the grave, @TSwizzle ?
We will have to live with destruction he has wrought, to our standing in the world and to our ability to remediate it, and you voted for it.
Were you asleep at the wheel? Blinded by insufferable pricks? A weak moment?
What made you vote for the last thing we needed, knowing it was the last thing we needed?
If I live to be a hundred I will never understand that level of clueless.

It's not cluelessness. It's revenge on "woke". I have a brother who is exactly the same way. They are simply pissed off that the world does not treat them (white guys) as they were treated before the 1980s.

Kamala Harris was the opposite of that. Didn't you vote for the old duffer that had lost his mind?

If that was in response to my post about trying to get the folks where I volunteer to vote, fyi, the ones who I'd like to see vote aren't senile. One is only 70 and he's very sharp, but sadly, he's almost totally blind. The other one is in her early 80s and has no symptoms of senility, unlike the senile narcissist you voted for.

Besides that, I had some patients who did have dementia when I worked in an ALF and they were Republicans. Family members took them to vote. Plus some who didn't have dementia were in their 90s and they voted. They were also Republicans. To my knowledge, only one Democrat who was in his 80s voted. He was a great guy and very sharp, but sadly his wife had dementia. She didn't vote. The younger ones who were in their 50s didn't bother to vote.

There is no law against people who are old or even have symptoms of dementia voting, so stop saying ageist things about people. One day, assuming you're fortunate enough to make it to my current age, you'll be old too and you'll have a better. understanding of ageism.

Pretty much on point. The election turned out closer than I expected. Kami probably would have won if given a few more months of run-up, and certainly would have won if a fraction of the mindless Rumpsuckers who voted Trump had had any idea how they were about to be stabbed in the back.

More to go point, if the Democrats had turned out to vote for Harris she'd be president right now. But enough Democrats decided to vote "whoever wins" to put Trump in the White House. Those are mainly people who are too busy to vote.

I think they were too stupid or too apathetic to vote. I'm taking about all the Democrats who didn't vote in 2024, including in my own state where we have 3 full weeks to vote and there is never more than a fairly short line if you vote early, which includes at least one or two weekends, not to mention that you can vote by mail without a reason, something the psychopathic, narcissistic demented person in the WH wants to end! Fuck him and the horse he rode in on or was it the escalator he rode down on?

How fucking stupid were all the people who voted for Trump or avoided the election because they let their desire for perfection stand in the way of progress!!!!!

Then there are all the idiots who never vote in the midterms. I hope we can get them to wise up, including a few of the people where I do volunteer work who have told me they are too old to vote, despite the fact that some are younger than I am and one is only about 5 years older than me and they would all vote for the Democrats if they would vote. I'd be happy to drive them to the polls if they were willing and I'd help the blind guy vote or ask someone who works at the polls to assist us so they see I'm helping him vote for his choice.

At least more younger people are voting compared to when I was still working and could never convince any of them to vote until one finally did when Obama ran. Still, a young man I met in Indy has never voted but he promised me he'd start. Hope he meant it. It would help if we more experienced people would get out and talk to people about the importance of voting in every fucking single election. If everyone would vote, we'd have a better president, which means most any Democrat other than the demented con artist we have now. End of rant.

Maybe some sort of compulsory turning up at election time is required?

lol. The “senile narcissist” trounced cackling Kamala. The democrats should think about putting forward a viable presidential candidate and policies that people will vote for.

Trounced? He didn't even win the majority of the popular vote. While Trump won the electoral college by a very comfortable margin EV wise, it was only by small margins in the battleground states. In fact, Trump failed to win majority votes in Michigan, Wisconsin, and couldn't eclipse 51% in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Nevada, and North Carolina. In was only a two candidate race.

Reagan trounced Mondale, Nixon trounced McGovern. Trump defeated Harris, but sure the heck didn't trounce Harris. The outcome in 2024 was much like 2020 and 2016, pretty close.

We had lunch today at Captain Dees, a fast food fish place that we've been going to for years and know some the staff well. They are all Black females, so I asked if they were going to vote. Of course the older ones were, but they told me they couldn't convince any of the younger ones to vote. I was sort of shocked because that's the way it was when I was still working and I tried so hard to get the younger staff members to vote. I thought that had changed. I couldn't wait to vote and my generation had to be 21 before we could vote. "Old enough to die but not old enough to vote". Anyone else old enough to remember that chant back in the day?

The smartest one always voted and I finally helped one register when Obama was running, but that was it. I told the two older women at the restaurant not to give up, as maybe they could convince a couple of the younger ones to vote.

I'm doing my best to convince people to vote regardless of their age. Oh and btw, a former friend who can barely get by on her SS, posted a list of Republicans that must win in Georgia. WTF! We have to get out the vote. At least all of my current friends never vote for the R party.

If that were the case, I would hope he’d at least have the balls to respond to my highlighting what appears to be blatant hypocrisy. But I guess the simple answer is the true one - it is exactly what it appears to be. Add a dash of cowardice, and his failure to reply is well explained.
All typical features of the classic addle-brained Trumpsucking conservotard archetype.

They have to call it a "trouncing" when they just squidge by, because they know the Republican Party will never have the support of a true national majority ever again.
 
So....today I was speaking to a women who is in her 50s, who does aerobics with my group at the senior center. She was bitching about Trump and said he should be removed from office. I agreed and asked if she had voted for him. "No, I never vote because Jesus is Lord". WTF! I'm not giving up yet. If I see her on Monday, I might try and convince her that being a Christian doesn't mean you shouldn't vote and tell her that my evangelical parents always voted, and in fact, they voted for Democrats. I might tell her if she doesn't vote, she has no right to complain, but of course, I'll do it as gently as possible.

Any ideas on how to convince someone like her to vote, or is she a hopeless case?
 
I mean, at least she's consistent. I don't think any closet monarchist should vote (or run) in democratic elections, personally. To quote old Jesus ,"Let your yes mean yes".

Tell her voting Democratic might help her lord Jesus dump Trump.
