U.S. Election (Day?) 2024 Megathread

With apologies to our many friends and posters outside the United States... it's time for another one of these! Culture war thread rules apply, and you are permitted to openly advocate for or against an issue or candidate on the ballot (if you clearly identify which ballot, and can do so without knocking down any strawmen along the way). "Small-scale" questions and answers are also permitted if you refrain from shitposting or being otherwise insulting to others here. Please keep the spirit of the law--this is a discussion forum!--carefully in mind.

If you're a U.S. citizen with voting rights, your polling place can reportedly be located here.

If you're still researching issues, Ballotpedia is usually reasonably helpful.

Any other reasonably neutral election resources you'd like me to add to this notification, I'm happy to add.

I could honestly see a Mark Cuban 2028 campaign.

The thing about politics is that when a well-liked public figure enters the arena, the arena almost always win.

Cuban has already lit his reputation on fire with half the country. If he puts his hat in the ring, the scorn will only intensify. I doubt he has what it takes to endure it. Furthermore, he's a lot less informed and well-spoken then he thinks he is. He sounded pretty vacuous on "All In" when he got grilled by David Sachs.

All of which is to say, politics is a tough, tough game. People think they can win at politics because they won at business. Usually they can't.

The best best for the Democrats in 2028 is a free and fair primary process, which they haven't had since at least 2008.
