General Election 2024

Quote: Tanko

Wrong again as usual.

The post I originally responded to was about Trump and other Republicans complaining about rigged elections

I used Clinton and Abrams as examples to show Republicans are not the only ones to complain about rigged elections.

Kerry 2004 (Ohio) would have been a better example with more parallels to be drawn.

John Kerry is another dude who lost a Presidential election and didn't stage an insurrection to illegally attain power...

That is correct and totally immaterial to my point. There were attempted Congressional actions, thereby making it a closer comparison. The root nature also involved alleged election 'fraud,' though this was just them thinking the machines didn't work correctly.

I'd also appreciate if you refrain from ever directly responding to anything I say. Thank you.

More "whataboutism" from the MAGA types, to justify their insurrection and attempts to steal an election. If MAGA kept it to losing lawsuits and objections during the joint session counting electoral votes, then maybe we'd have a close comparison, But we don't. MAGA and Trump went far beyond what Gore did in 200 and Kerry did in 2004.

You'll just have to deal with my public responses to your public statements, unless I've broken some DT rule.

No rule was broken, violate polite requests all you wish.

I'm not whatabout'ing anything and am not a MAGA type. All I said is that it would have been more comparable than the examples that he offered and I stated why. YOU had a problem with that for reasons that I do not understand. Of course, I also don't care what your problem with that was, so I'd appreciate you not explaining it unless you're doing so for your own edification.

You might also recall me saying everyone in the Capitol Building, that day, should have been summarily executed on sight after being given fifteen minutes to disperse. I only added the fifteen minutes to be...um...let's say perceived as merciful about it. They could have went in and just killed them all right away, with no warning, why should I care?

15 minutes would have been too long. They're lucky we don't deal with them like the Romans dealt with traitors.

I think Mission’s original position was 20 minutes. He’s getting meaner.

If he’s going to shoot the bunch, at least make it “Squid” gamish.

Anyone know what the current odds are for an elected president other than Biden or Trump?

Predictit has it at 22%.

Haley would beat Biden

Newsom would beat Trump

Neither side can figure that out.
