It is to a degree, but there are sides that didn't make the 8 that have the potential for a far bigger upside in 2025 than others.
If you could swap a Collingwood double up for Essendon or St Kilda you'd take it any day of the week.
Our double up games have the potential to turn into a nightmare draw once it's reassessed after the 2025 season.
Port, Hawthorn, Gold Coast and Collingwood will all be either in the 8 or around the mark.
It could easily end up that we play 4 teams twice that will finish in the top 8.
I've never denied that it's taking a while to count the votes in California, which is the only thing the above Tweet is complaining about.
What I denied is the insanity of claiming that it's part of some sort of attempt at vote fraud.
I'm pretty sure I responded to one of your posts a few days ago about the counting and how it was predominantly western blue states that still needed to be counted and where it would roughly end up numbers wise.
Just like my prediction on Trump winning, my prediction with the final numbers...
Usual story of the season, we're a disorganised mess inside 50.
No way are we winning this.
We had our chance in the 2nd quarter and blew it.
I don't know whether it's a personnel issue or coaching, but against the good sides we can generate a shit tonne of inside 50s, but do absolutely...
You have to keep in mind that there's still votes to be counted.
Those figures were based off 80% of the vote being counted with a lot of those votes still to be counted are from blue states like California.
It's now 86% and Harris is now 13 million behind the 2020 vote for Biden and will most...
It definitely wouldn't have happened by design.
They saw how bad Biden went in the debate and how poorly he was polling and they panicked and pulled the pin.
The pin needed to pulled before the primaries, letting him run was a disaster.
If he didn't run I don't think that it would have been...
I've already explained this, those figures are based off 80% of votes counted.
A majority of those remaining 20% still to count are coming from blue states like California (which has only counted 45%) and Washington State etc so the difference between Trump and Harris will end up closer than...
It's interesting that you've chosen to use the term "sane majority".
From what I've had to endure in these political threads, I say maybe 15% of the discussion would fall into the category of sane discourse while the other 85% from both the left and the right sits firmly within the lunatic...
The whole thing was a cluster f*
The cardinal mistake was allowing Biden to run again.
Had that not happened and they actually run a primary and selected a half decent candidate they more than likely would have won.
The last minute hail mary where they replaced Biden with Harris ended up...
It hasn't happened though.
Those figures are based off 80% counted and a lot of what is still to be counted are the western blue states.
Given that California is only at 45% counted there's most probably still around 10 million + Democrat votes still be counted in that remaining 20%
Trump...
I'm pretty sure that's not the case.
Overturning Roe V Wade simply took it out of the hands of the Supreme Court where it was protected and untouchable politically.
Either side could now introduce an national abortion bill if it wanted as it's no longer protected through that Supreme Court...
Just so I can remember this going forward, everyone who is arguing that it's a state issue and not a Federal one, would then be completely opposed to either side trying to introduce any type of Federal abortion bill in the US?
It's looking like it's going to be a similar result to 2016 give or take a few points.
Obviously there's some close races in swing states that are most probably still too close to call, but a repeat of 2016's result is how things are looking so far.
Harris wasn't a great candidate
Like I said yesterday, my theory is that when push comes to shove there is always a subconscious bias toward male candidates especially in countries like the USA.
I never really had the sense that Harris was going to win. I thought she possibly could win if...
The numbers don't actually mean much at the moment though as there's a lot of a blue states on the East coast still to be called.
I saw somewhere that it's currently 113 to 195, however California which is a guarantee for the Dems is worth 54 points and Washington State is another strong Dem...
You'll have to ask Eagle who is who.
Back when the mid-terms were happening he described US politics in terms of it being "goodies" vs "baddies" like it was a 1940s John Wayne western
I'm still leaning towards a Trump win tomorrow.
Same reasoning that I had when he was against Clinton, I just think when push comes to shove that there's a percentage of swing voters who through unconscious bias will gravitate towards a male candidate over a female.
I think it's going to be...
