The US Presidential Election Thread

[Bojan KantKick]

Are there polls for the other states?

 

[Bojan KantKick]

I doubt that Trumps ads changed people's views but it may have encouraged people who weren't going to vote, to vote on that issue.

Gender neutral bathrooms are becoming relatively normal in the UK.

Theo Von calls himself stupid on his podcast which is 90% comedy. He has never pretended to be smart.

It's not transphobic to not want a biological male in the women's toilet/restroom.

You guys never learn do you....with the rhetoric used to label those that aren't of the same political opinion to yours.

Are you familiar with the greek mythology monster Hydra?

Anyway, what are the odds Trump gets whacked in the next 12 months and Vance et al blame antifa and turn the US into even more of a police state?

Whacked? Low.

Pushed out because his brain is ****ing mush? High.

Imagine executing the policies that you were voted in on.

There will be attempts for sure.

The secret service allowed the ball to go through to the keeper the first time round….they won’t get caught letting that happen again.

Hopefully he bans pharma advertising.

If he tries to do that, the Google search for "Kennedy Assassination" won't mention John until the 20th page.

Probably nothing...

Probably nothing...

Lol.

Well, credit where it's due. Donald Trump isn't even in the White House and already he's beginning to eliminate paedophiles from the federal government.

I think the whole thing was a stunt, so he didn't have to face the music in a inquiry.

You'd be less obvious if you stated that you wished him dead.

And please stop trying to play the age card, you're a middle aged white man who lives in suburbia lol

Why do you always assume that anyone who challenges you is doing so as a form of binary conflict? Just because someone says you are 'up' or 'light' doesn't mean they are insinuating that they are 'down' or 'dark'.

It's a very telling aspect of how you approach these types of discussions. You don't only involve yourself in arguments; you proactively seek and provoke them. I find that very interesting.

Anyway, to your point; I'm not trying to position myself as any sort of young Zoomer or anything. Everyone here knows how old I am. My point is that there is a clear and stark generational divide at play here, and you are a part of that generation. Perhaps you're self-aware enough to understand this, or perhaps not. That's not really my concern. Different generations naturally view things through the lens of their upbringings, which is natural and perfectly reasonable. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it - I'm simply pointing out that your perspectives here are influenced by it.

I mean, of course Brexit was stupid by Leave voters, but Stsrmer didn't run on re-entering the EU did he?

Because the voters would punish him for suggesting they were wrong.

"Re-entering the EU"? No.

But trying to fix and mitigate the damage was a core part of his campaign, and he's (so far) doing what he promised he would.

IE here's a story from just today;

Starmer ramps up post-Brexit reset with recruitment of EU relations ‘sherpa’

The prime minister is ramping up his efforts to rebuild ties with Brussels, recruiting a second permanent secretary in the Cabinet Office focused primarily on the UK’s relationship with the EU

This is the worst post on bigfooty and Starmer is already the worst Prime Minister of the last 100 years not named Truss. A genuinely disgusting human being.

More Democrat lies.

Trump's Generals

I feel like there's gonna be some lefties that are gonna get their comeuppance. Time to be the nail instead of the hammer for a change.

On the other hand...

LOLOLOLOL bro, we're actually the same, you're extreme elder Milennial, I'm extreme end of Gen X verging on Millenial.

A generation is defined as 20-30 years.

We are not 20-30 years apart in age or experience.

We are the same.

Nah mate. Nice try clinging onto the idea that you're still culturally relevant and on the cutting edge of pop-culture influence, but nah. You've also got your basic facts wrong about the cut-off ranges for both Gen X and Millenial;



Crucially though, and on-topic to what I was saying; there's a very clear and defined 'generation gap' prevalent in voting patterns between Millenials and GenX.

This is so funny, genuinely so funny.

We grew up in exactly the same world mate, culturally, economically, the lot.

No, we didn't. And that's the point I'm making. I was 5 years old when the Berlin Wall fell. You were in your early teens. That's a massive difference. It was the defining moment of an entire generation, and you were old enough to remember and understand it, and I was playing with Ninja Turtles.

For what it's worth, I had a similar experience with 9/11. I was 16~ years old and could remember it clearly. I didn't do year 12, went into the workforce, then at the age of 23 I went to Uni as a "mature age student" thinking that I'd be young enough to still be on the same wavelength as the other first year PolSci and International Relations students. But to my shock, most of the fresh-out-of-highschool kids in my tutes didn't remember 9/11.

This isn't some subjective thing, man. This is quantifiable.

The only difference is I got to enjoy the flags lol.

I remember the flags just fine and enjoyed them immensely.

I like that this implies that there isn't already conservative leaning mainstream media?

Fox News has been #1 in America for a long, long time...

Why do conservatives always have to try and position themselves as a victim? Weird mentality tbh.
