2024 US Presidential Election

So it seems that all of those jokes comparing Barron Trump to Joffrey in Game of Thrones were wrong because Barron isn’t nice enough.
 
His pronunciation of weird is, in itself, quite weird
 
Imagine :shock:

A decent list, but these policies are hit and miss imo. These are just my thoughts.

1. How is she going to "eliminate" medical debt? If she's planning to use public funds then any kind of debt forgiveness will be extremely unpopular amongst economists, never mind other politicians. The data on forgiveness policies have consistently shown that they severely shrink the economy, ESPECIALLY on the scale she wants to do it on. I think a better way to go would be to implement tax-deductible employer contributions, similar to student loan contribution policies. The private sector would happily foot a good portion of the bill and it would be much more politically viable. Not a silver bullet at all, but the more she can leverage the private sector the better. If corporations are gonna dodge taxes they may as well pull the rest of us with them!

2. I wish, but basically impossible. In fact, CNN of all people have criticized her for this. Anti-price gouging policies have been tried before but basically never work because they cover the symptom, not the source of the problem. Better approach would be to beat price gougers at their own game (CNN article talks about this). Trying to "ban" behaviors in general doesn't work very well.

3. Not too well-versed in pharmaceutical economics at all, so would love to know more about this. Big Pharma is corrupt and very hard to beat. Cracking down on monopolies is the first important step imo. And she'd get bipartisan support.

4. This is good. It would reinvigorate public confidence and tap into a great source of economic potential. Not sure how much political LUBRICANT she'll need for this though.

5. Also really good. Love the Child Tax Credit. In fact, I hope she expands on it even more beyond this. I generally love any policy that gives parents the confidence to FUCK MORE and boost fertility rates.
 
We did a help to buy scheme in the UK and it just drives prices up as you’re increasing demand but not supply. It’s the dumbest thing you can do for the housing market!
 
She did also say she wants to build 3 millions homes or something like that. But newly built homes aren't going to be accessible for most people. Affordable housing is a huge problem because massive equity firms keep buying entire neighborhoods of homes. She need to try taking care of THAT first. Building more homes will just keep feeding the beast. So I'm not sure how much a $25000 first home buyer bonus will help in the longterm.

I mean that's odd, but it's just the follow up to wanting to fuck her. He fancies the fuck out of her and can't deal with it.
 
Yeah can someone explain why Georgia voted Biden, but no one thinks it’s in play for the Dems this time round?
 
Where is the impression that nobody thinks Georgia is in play come from? Its one of the main battleground states and the polls have it as a close race (that particular one not so much). Biden wasn't polling well, and Twitter has all of a sudden decided that North Carolina is going to be bluer than North Carolina, but imo Georgia is probably going for Harris. Everything that has causes Georgia to become bluer (suburban voters hating Trump while the suburbs grow rapidly) is still happening
 
I just feel like I’ve seen a lot of predictions/polls putting it as red, and it’s not really being discussed as much as the other battleground states.
