The US Presidential Election Thread

[DesertRoo]

Just wondered, what is the usual term for an ambassador?
He was appointed in 2023 so he should be there for a while?

He also went h2h with Gina and lost, considering how chummy she is with Donald, I can’t imagine she’ll give glowing reviews.

That's bullshit, Biden implemented Trump's exact border policy and Harris ran on it, that's never going to be a winning issue for Democrats when the people who support those policies already have republicans to vote for.

I get what you’re saying, but imo
- democrats tough on border = electable

- democrats weak on border = unelectable

Just a reflection on worldwide trends

Albo = stopping the boats = electable

Albo = free for all boat arrivals = unelectable

Similar trends throughout Europe

And clearly the way the majority of people think these days

Same thing will happen in France and not even a coalition of left wing parties will be able to stop it

The thing I find amazing is the trend in immigrant to western countries that have similar feelings. Sure many are pro refugee/open immigration, but more and more seem to worship at the shrine of anti woke close boarder policies

I tell ya what..

This whole thing reeks of en elon musk bitcoin/etherium pump and dump.

If Trump brings in his economic policy, the US gdp will crash harder than the GFC.

Undocumented immigrants contributed 96.7 billion dollars to the US federal, state and local taxes.

His tax policy gives the top 5% of earners the biggest breaks, the bottom 5% will pay higher taxes..

This ^^^ this is why low—-> middle class people should never ****ing vote for these pieces of shit..

This will have HUGE impacts on us.. massive global market hiccups.

Makes sense

this whiny little campaigner, give me a ****ing break. ooooooh joe biden called me trash I had no choice. just own what you are and what you believe in

No nail, no head..

83% of uneducated people voted for trump.. insult to his intelligence.. he’s a scam coin investor, thats why he voted for trump, to tear down the global economy. Watch it burn.

The guy has valid points and you lot choose to play the man and not the issue.

Look at what happened when we had the recent referendum. With the exception of a circle in NSW...the entire country voted unanimously 'NO'. This is because people don't like being alienated, being told that they're racist, bigots, dumb etc.

And when that happens....the people wait until they're in voting booth to give their 'GO **** YOURSELF' vote.

Same thing happened with this election and the people voted.

Electoral college, popular vote, house, senate......but sure this is just a result of dumb voters.

Anyways....I'm gonna continue watching melts on the internet.

Slainte.

That is because most European countries populations are pro legal immigration and anti illegal. They never voted for open borders to illegal immigrants but their politicians and civil service didn't give a shit and eventually the electorate gives them the finger.

Makes sense

Who's uneducated? The people who don't listen to the electorate and expect different results? The people who blame election losses on people not being smart rather than them running a shit campaign?

Australia would be the same

Australia would be the same

Wouldn’t surprise me. When we go to the polls, I spin out too.

I think if you knocked queensland out you’d see different results.

Because low income earners vote for Trump/GOP/Conservatives and will be worse off. Thats why.

Feels like you're just trying to slot what happened here into your preconceived notions. Harris spent this entire electoral cycle coddling and pandering to conservatives in the hope that there was this mythical faction of anti-trump republicans who would flip for her. But conservatives were always going to vote for Trump because at the end of the day even if they find him personally offensive or whatever he's with them on the issues. The kind of passionate, publicly vocal Trump supporters that Portnoy is implying swung this election are ****ing desperate for things to get aggrieved about, they were covering themselves in rubbish bags one day after senile Biden made an offhand comment in his whisper voice. They were not the decisive voice in this election, they're a weird little fringe minority of voters.

I think this Trump victory is largely a function of really, really low turnout. Because people who would normally turn out to vote for a Democrat saw what Harris was telling them with her words and actions: I'm basically a republican, so why bother voting for me against the actual republican?

Portnoy's a ****ing idiot. In that video he's babbling incoherently. He sounds like a whiny piece of shit implying that he and all the other racists like him simply had no choice but to vote for Trump because they need to feel constantly aggrieved and like they're oppressed little victims because the entire culture isn't glazing them up constantly. Is it playing the man to point that out? I don't care.

That is an extreme generalisation that doesn't paint your level of education in a good light. Do you think all low income earners are stupid?
