US Presidential Election, Nov 5th 2024

I’ll answer that from my opinion, yes. And they should be shot down by the majority.

Because.

Would you prefer there is a platform full of only racists?

To separate opinion, will only achieve a permanently divide opinion. Let me talk to a racist, it’s the only way they’ll stop being a racist, speaking to other racists won’t help will it?!

 

[bluesteel]

No it wasn’t. It will be closer to 60% I would imagine.

I’m probably wrong here, just going off 130M voted / 330M.

Edit: you’re probably more accurate going off <18 but I’m sure I read it was that low.

Truth social already has that honour. X has gone the same route.
So you think folk can be racist as long as someone calls them out for it. That’s pretty much where it was though. You had the option to report racism and it would be removed if deemed racist.
I think Mellon bought Twitter to shut down a platform that was being used pretty effectively by the left. He deliberately ran it into the ground.

I think racist people are going to be racist. I think that censoring them means they find another platform where they’re free to be racist (but here’s the problem) with other racists.

What do you want?

It’s about 40-50%. Always is.

I thought you only deal in facts or opinion. There are around 244m eligible voters of which 161m registered to vote. Of those around 152m voted of which 145m have been counted so far. Turnout is therefore around 62%

Happy days, like I also said, I’m happy to be proven wrong. But I didn’t make it up, it’s from memory so now I’m off to check.

Quick check says you’re right (will have to find that source) still. 38% don’t care.

Everyone keeps saying they fucked up. I’m getting tired of asking the same question.

No one has offered a winning solution to a candidate willing to lie and lie and lie and lie and millions who believe him.

Lay out your strategy for how you’d have defeated him then.

And don’t moan about Biden’s late exit — I already said he should have dropped out at the latest after the midterms back then.

I’m all ears — we all are.

Based on what was on floor - Biden dropping late and VP getting subbed in late, yes he wasn't likely to lose.

But give it a fair Democratic Primary, let Whittmer, Bashear, Shapiro and Butigeig sharpen each other up and work out the kinks. Have a coherent message other than 'Trumo bad.'

Highlight the positives of the Biden admin ( booming economy), let him own the negative ( crippling inflation and leaky border), and give concrete explanations of how you'd fix it.

Ditch the culture war nonsense and be all over new media like white on rice.

With the the superiority in cash - Wash-Rinse- Repeat.

The notion that Trump is some unbeatable candidate is just post election reframing. The mans Negatives are just as high as his positives. If not higher.

You need a new and better alternative. Not 2 poor choices the Country already view as failing that Democrats bent over backwards to pretend were great.


But it's all 20-20 vision I suppose. JD Vance would be a far more formidable opponent in 2028

I think a lot of racist people jump on the free speech bandwagon when what they really want is carte blanche to be racist cunts. I also think deliberately spreading misinformation to achieve a goal by deception is as bad as expressing racist views. X is guilty of both which is why folk are leaving it to the mob.

 

[Dax777]

Do you think people should be free to express racist views?

Yes!
