So the election is over and Trump has won the election as the 47th president of the United States where he won all 7 battleground states and outperformed a bunch of metrics. I can safely say this is a landslide election. Blue states such as California shifted in -5% losses for Kamala from 2020, while also states such as NJ, IL have shifted 9% since 2020, along with 2016. So what do I think and what's the future for 2028?

Republicans

Republicans this around did an excellent job and getting people to utilize the mail in ballots and early voting, something lacking in the 2020 election. This played key as it allowed a gain of Trump votes and was key to them winning. The biggest takeaway of this election is that Trump's tough immigration policy is working well with Latinos and that seems to be there top priority. Primarily blue counties in Texas and Florida flipped red for the first time since 1892. We also see Latino's turned out in a 13% surge. We also see new voters to the election turned out in a majority for Trump. Not much I can say at this point

Democrats are potentially fucked. I say this cautiously but from what I have seen tonight, Dems are really in a bad position for 2028. 

Let's start with this. They were doomed to win this election when they didn't get to vote for their candidate in the primary. Swing states are essential when it comes to having to choose your candidate in the election, and they didn't do that. This was a huge mistake on Biden and on the Dems. Kamala did not differentiate herself from Biden enough to resonate with the working class. even saying that "it will be just like Biden." Not only does that piss off your progressive base, but it also pisses off the undecided voters who were not happy with the current SOTU. 

2028 is going to be...well something. There is no real telling of the future but if I had to bet on the GOP nominee for 2028, it would likely be Vance. But as for the Dems it's hard to say. If you alienate your moderates with a progressive candidate, you lose that vote to Vance. If you go moderate yet again, you lose the progressive vote, yet again. The party is split. Kamala may fair better in primaries, hell maybe Walz throws his money in there, but Vance is a better and more articulate version of Trump and they got rinsed in the election where Trump did poor in the debate. Vance lapped Walz and would lap him again and Kamala if they ran again. I don't know what moderate could do it. If you go into the moderate route you end up alienating your entire young voters who already shifting Republican. You go progressive and you alienate moderate and undecided voters that are not ready for those changes. Overall lose lose situation

Besides the analysis of the app itself, wouldn't you know it, the ban passed through congress

IMO, the banning of this app is unconstitutional, but I think TikTok need reforms for the app for different reasons

this is what I had. Figured I share

Chiefs beat Dolphins

Bills beat Steelers

Cowboys beat Packers

Hey everyone.

I am still alive and everything like that. Figured I'd give you an update into my life I am not active on here anymore

1. I went thru a major change. I went from finance to supply chain in the business world.

2. I became a founding father of a fraternity (happened last year but still)

3. I am doing an internship in the summer

Overall just usual stuff that has kept me busy

Holy hell, I don't think there is a cognitive braincell by any democrat. I don't think democrats allow the ability to critical think. A law that removes cash bail for almost every crime? This is a purge law

The democratic party, destroying the states we live in just for their stupid PC social justice. Don't know how these morons still have a job

The post above is the topic. There’s no reason why this shouldn’t be a thing

So essentially with this, if this gets only 9-10 people interested, I'm running a Kanye West discography mafia, if anymore, it will be an Attack on Titan mafia

This is a question that I would love to discuss more about because I have seen keen observation with regards to how COVID has effected the COVID teens, teens which grew up in the COVID era where isolation ran ramped.

This year was the first year that schools fully reopened to the public. And as a result, we tend to see negative behavior. Personally, I saw from my senior friends that people were getting into fights everyday, people were doing lines of crack in the bathroom, and other things that I would NEVER see in my school before COVID hit. At first, I thought it was because of other controversies going on within the school, but as I talked to more people, the more I noticed a frequent pattern

First off, my aunts work for the CPS and have been exposed to the madness that is that union, and they have never seen such behaviors such as this. From an active shooter on campus, multiple classroom disruptions, and a snarky and rude attitude. This is a repeating pattern when I talk to teachers who teach these grades.

Finally, the saddest of all, is the school shooting threats. There have been massive school shooting threats around the country like we've never seen. My old high school had 4 in a week, something unheard of. 

With isolation and lockdown, you are bound to get in arguments with the people you live with. You will disagree with them, you agree with them, and the constant yelling occurs to the point of divorce. As a child, when you hear that, you want to drown it all away and take your anger out on something. The examples above are a prime way of how to destress, but another way is sadly...Alcohol

I'm not gonna sit here and lie, I started drinking during COVID too. I watched the TV shows I watched, tried to make as much conversations as I could, what else could I possibly do? When your parents argue and you run out of ideas, the idea of alcohol consumption is not as bad as once made it out to be. Now many people drink alcohol at parties, even Freshman, something I never in my wildest dreams would have thought to happen. People get bored, they try to new things, they like the things, and they continue

What does this long rant mean? Nothing. It's just an observation

Discuss the election here!

Greetings DebateArt.

The sites first ever election is officially underway. Congratulations to the candidates who have made it here so far. Before we get started, here are a few quick rules before you vote

==============================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================

Below are the following people that you are able to vote for in the election

The voting phase will last for January 17th, 12PM EST to January 19th, 12PM EST. All votes after that time DO NOT count!

As stated before, this election will be a majority vote due to the lack of candidates.

If there is a tie for the winner, the top candidates will go into a 24 hour run off period, where another majority vote will be held with the two candidates

Finally, I want to say the best of luck to both candidates. You both are exemplary people overall and both are deserving to be president, and even if I, or others do not vote you, just note that you still are very important to the site and many people would love for you to stay and continue being active on site

Welcome. Today I interviewed the second candidate, 3RU7AL.

3RU7AL said this about promoting the site and getting it active...

"https://bbs.market/ZLOGIC/posts - - it's easy to reach tons of people here

3RU7AL has a way to cooperate with the moderators...

3Ru7AL was asked why he wanted to be president, he stated.

There you go, the presidential nominee 3ru7al. Go and vote for the presidency tmrw

Yesterday, I was able to speak with Airmax about his plans for the presidency and what his goals are

Airmax's main focus for this election was advertising. He wanted to make an effective ad campaign for DART to function on.

In regards to moderation, Airmax stated...

"I believe the moderators are capable of handling their jobs well. I should only have a small input in the say of moderation. I am a person who believes in lassiez fair and current moderation hold my beliefs true."

Airmax stated as to why he is running for president.

There you have it. My interview with Airmax. There will hopefully be an interview with 3RU7AL coming soon!

If anyone is interested in doing some mafia revival, put a post in the chat!

First off, I am not the type of person to reflect on the past, but to learn from the past and apply it to the future. If I’m ever feeling sad and just down, I brush it off in a day and go about my merry way. 2021 challenged this notion a lot.

For one, my life drastically changed when I got to university. I had to hit restart on a life I built and recreate it in a new environment. It was certainly challenging, but challenged completed. I had my off days and such, but I was to push through them

I think the moment in 2021 that really made me push back on the world and reflect was the loss of a friend due to suicide nearly a year ago today. I don’t think I’ve ever been as lost or as damaged as I was in that time. I took life slower, reflecting on my life and reflecting on the world around me. When this same scenario happened with a different friend who luckily failed at doing such. It really made me look to the world and ask questions about the way we think, the way we live, and the value of life. The world went from a blur to a tint. I saw things differently and experienced different emotions and such.

This year brought me success as well. Getting into my top university, getting a girlfriend, graduating, forming a close bond with friends, I feel I accomplished a lot that led me to happiness. Not to mention I was also promoted to a deputy mod of this site after 3 years of using the site.

2021 was a year that made me reflect on life and switch up the pace of the world. 2021 was one of the most impactful years of my life to date with happy moments and sad moments.

So cheers to 2022 and a toast to 2021, the most important year of my life

"The government can't force me to take a vaccine! Freedom of my body"

Also Conservatives...

"Roe v Wade should be overturned! Free the children."

Still is my biggest problem with the Conservative party. Fight so hard for lower government restrictions yet fight to overturn Roe v Wade. Especially with the vaccine stuff they preached, hypocrisy.

The album of year has been dropped, and it's not Kanye. Silk Sonic (Bruno Mars & Anderson .Paak) have created a short, sweet, masterpiece thats effect will ripple for years to come. This album combines funk jazz with sad heartbreak of the classic jazz and Stevie Wonder era in a way unique way. The energy of both artists is unparalleled

Hey there DebateArt! (this thread will be archived into a different section soon)

I'm SupaDudz, the current deputy moderator of DebateArt as of the date of this post. 

I am hosting an AMA for some people who are not familiar with who I am to come and ask me questions about anything you would like to know. My beliefs, thoughts on anime, or anything you'd like to know. I'm just doing this to get in base with not only newer users to the site, but older users who may have came from other platform who are not as familiar as I am. 

Feel free to ask me anything

Fairy Tail is not even close to being my favorite animes. It has constant repetition, lack of character development, and overall bland arcs for the most part. Yet you'd think it would rank lower than lots of my shows. But why does it stand at a 6/10? The answer. It's bad enough to where it's good

The characters are likeable, the interactions with every character is likeable. There is a sense of family when you are watching Fairy Tail that makes you so intrigued to watch. You aren't watching the complex and well written characters fight, you are watching some fun actions thats turn off the brain fun, not some amazing thriller which requires tons of knowledge.

Yes, Fairy Tail is not great. But it does a good job of being bad

DONDA is the newest track from prominent Chicago artist Kanye West. 

Kanye West debuts a massive 27 track album with various hidden messages and such throughout the track, his first major product since The Life of Pablo in 2016. DONDA is an unique experience that feels like a mess that has direct meaning. 

The features on this album are great on this album. From Fivio's drill bars to Don Toliver's harmonic and levitating voice on Moon, the features on this track are strong and help this track. Kanye himself sounds raw and emotion and while having some corny bars, Kanye also has some of the best reflections and themes on this album that I have seen Kanye do in a while. 

Kanye does some deep reflections on Jesus Lord, the first time we see Kanye truly explore his mothers passing in a deep and emotion way with harmonic and beautiful pianos

The first half of the leg consists of Kanye being trapped, with the beats symbolizing darkness, with Jail, the lead tracks, dark guitars and chanting by Kanye. Kanye feels trapped in the current world he is in, with great symbolisms and such. The peaks of Donda are some of the best music Kanye has put out in years now. And then the back half feels more open, free, and is more beautiful, symbolizing Kanye becoming more religious and in touch with his life with some great piano and synth keys

While this project has it's ultimate highs, it also has a lot of inconsistencies and problems that come with 27 song project. The part 2's don't do much for the entire album and just feel redundant and unneeded, with the features as well being less quality. There are also times where the intros and conclusions drag on longer than needed and some songs just feel boring and time fillers. At times, the track can feel like a cluttered mess versus a cluttered painting, which can be off putting

Despite these flaws, this one of Kanye's best albums he has put out in the Kim Kardashian era. With a general focus that feels like a continuous painting, beautiful vocals, some of the most intimate Kanye moments, this album is a sign of hope for Kanye that Kanye can resume to the ways of making amazing music
