2024 Election

[Fall of Epic]

It's never too early!

After Joe Biden's presidential victory this morning, many are already predicting his opponent for 2024. Does Don come back for round 2? Pence? Don's kids? Kushner? Does the GOP re-strategize? Let's hear your predictions!

I’ll come back to this thread in three years.

Way, way premature to speculate but I don’t expect Biden to seek a second term. I feel this is a platform to get the American public familiar and comfortable with Kamala and we see Mayor Pete as her VP.

If the Trumps aren’t in jail, their new news channel may spawn some new 3rd party because as many conservatives fell in line with him, the nutcases making the bulk of his base don’t quite fall into the traditional sense of Republican conservatism.

Just want to try to enjoy the now and not worry about any more elections or politics for a while.

The rumor I heard is Trump/Trump Jr. in 2024 as the first father/son ticket. Setting up Trump Jr for 2028.

Can't even enjoy one day before you're trying to give me nightmares of VP Mayor Pete.

Plz elaborate. I've been on the Slayer Pete sass train since the primaries,

I think Joe not being seen as Elite or a high maintenance Ivy Leaguer resonated with a lot of people. Hillary was seen as too snoody and upper class to a lot of people. I think they need to avoid Mayo Pete in 2024 as a Presidential or VP candidate for that very reason, but he can be of use elsewhere. Big Pete seems like a massive step down from Joe when it comes to empathy and reaching out to people. Now Yang possibly could excite me in four years, but he needs to fine tune his debate skills in that time because I wasn't impressed with him in the primaries.

Democrats win when they can convince people they're empathetic. It's as simple as that. A Republican is expected by their voters to be an extremely selfish person, and if the Democrat can't easily counteract that, they can't win.

LOL

 

[Hawk 34]

I like to imagine they actually meant OMAR GOODING. I know where my vote would go.

 

[Big Papa Paegan]

That would be one wild and crazy campaign.

 

[Brocklock]

VP Donnie Jeffcoat might tank his campaign.

 

[Big Papa Paegan]

SOS Jessica Gaynes and AG Annette Chavez could save it, though, by pulling through in the Root Beer Coaster Challenge.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Also John Hickenlooper running again? Does the pollster even remember POTUS campaign he ran?

 

[snuffbox]

Ftr, you don't have to be born in the US to be eligible to run for president.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Also I know everyone likes to assume that Biden will altruistically step down and hand the reins to Kamala at the end of his term but I think it's possible if not probable he'll run again despite being fuckin' old.

I don't remember anyone ever willingly stepping away after one term. If it did happen, it was before any of our grandparents were born probably.

Polk, Buchanan, and Hayes are the only presidents to serve one 4-year term and not seek reelection for a second. Coolidge, Truman, and LBJ all won one term and did not seek reelection but also served partial first terms for presidents who died in office.

 

[Baby Shoes]

Kamala has a cool grandma in her 40s

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Well it is Maine.

I can't believe I fuckin' forgot LBJ since I've been reading so much '60s-'70s US history during the lockdown. Truman was also during my grandparents lifetime but fact that he served almost all of FDR's last term makes me forget he wasn't a two term president.

 

[snuffbox]

And Truman and LBJ weren't entirely willing about not running for second terms. Truman was pushed by Estes Kefauver's primary performance and LBJ by McCarthy's (and Robert Kennedy's subsequent entering of the race).

 

[Mickey Massuco]

Is this true?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Is this true?

It's sort of true: You have to be a "natural born" citizen, in order to be eligible to run for POTUS. That means that you have to have "birthright citizenship," which doesn't require you to be born in the US, but does require at least one of your parents to also be a "natural born" US citizen.

 

[snuffbox]

Is this true?

Yes. As long as one of of the parents is a natural citizen of the US, a child could be born anywhere in the world and would be eligible for the presidency. For example, Ted Cruz. His father was a Cuban. Ted was born in Canada. But his mom was born in the US and therefor, if Cruz hadn't lost to Trump like a bitch, he would've been eligible for the presidency.

Another example is John McCain. He was born in the Panama Canal Zone while his father served in the US Navy. He wasn't born in the United States but could've served as president had he won in 2008.

Which only serves to crystalize just how racist the birtherism movement is.

 

[snuffbox]

Yep. It was always and only about racism.

 

[Brocklock]

Notice how Trump was leaning towards being a Democrat until Obama got big, because regardless if he presents himself as a liberal or conservative he's a racist piece of garbage.

Not only were my grandparents alive, my mother was in her 20's!

 

[snuffbox]

What will useless, enabling shitasses like Cotton and Paul do when Trump announces he's running for 2024 in the next month or 2?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

They'll get down, or lay down. Because they're useless, enabling shitasses.
