The US Presidential Election Thread

[Chadwiko]

Lincoln being a Whig?

Republican as President.

Nah, he supported tariffs to develop American industry.

This is also true, but the world was a very different place back then and tariffs generated vastly different results than any modern MAGA tariffs could ever hope to achieve.

I recon you might have a bit of history to read up in regards to this, you’ll see where trumps policies come from, you’ll see how many of his policies align exactly with something a couple of hundred years ago.

And yeah I do agree with you maga tariffs are going to be insane and not very well thought through, whole supply lines have to be built up. You can’t just click fingers.

Yeah, I agree with you. The problem is tariffs back then actually worked because transportation and logistics was a massive barrier. Refrigeration didn't exist. The idea of exporting tomatoes was impossible. People ate whatever food was in-season for the area they lived in.

Who is cancelling who? Having a different opinion is not cancellation. immigrants and women voted quite a lot for conservative policies. The democrats abandoned the working class and left the door open to Trump. The left are cancelling themselves, like what is happening to MSDNC lol

 

[ferball]

ferball I re-read your post and owe you a sincere apology.

I initially read it as you saying you liked Bad Religion/Fugazi etc and Green Day/Limp Bizkit.

But I see now what you were trying to say.

I can only imagine how mad you must have been to be accused of being a Limp Bizkit fan, so again - genuine apologies lol

Of all the things you could have said...

LOL

The Americans voting to impose tariffs on their nearest and closest ally in Canada is quite something.

Oh shit. Do you think they might invade?!

No I think they’re going to retaliate for Ukraine using NATO supplied ATACMS and it’s going to be big.

Man, I hope they don't fire missiles and launch drone attacks against Ukraine!

After the first 12,000~ missiles Russia launched at Ukraine, a few more could really turn the tide!

I think they’re going to use those new hypersonic missiles and not just one this time.

You know the one they used for the first time ever on the 21st of November as a direct response to the UK saying they would allow Ukraine to use NATO ATACMS? Yeah, more of those, hopefully not the ones that carry nuclear warheads though.

My god what an idiot. I used to like AOC.. she couldn’t be any more wrong. Tulsi’s whole shtick is about stopping the US from getting involved in foreign wars.

 

[Val Keating]

The comments under this are brutal

[Chadwiko]

Not sure what has to do with the US taking a hostile stance against Canada.

Americans don't understand tariffs at all.

Doesn't matter which country is the target of them.

Your inability to see what is readily apparent with Tulsi Gabbard is fascinating.

The Russians haven't yet deployed anywhere near their full capabilities on Ukraine.

There are several degrees left they can go for. If the US was fighting this way, they would have taken out the power, water, sewerage and key communications facilities in the major cities in the first night.

For sure.

Tulsi Gabbard’s history with Russia is even more concerning than you think

One expert says her views are ‘so wildly fringe that her potential appointment as DNI is genuinely alarming’, Richard Hall and Andrew Feinberg write

[Chadwiko]

My point is more that the American Government is taking hostile economic action against its closest and most important ally for no genuine reason.

There's no fentanyl or illegal migrants heading south from Canada.

If they can do it to Canada, they can do it - or worse - to Australia.

Is it being "anti American" to note this reality?

I was basically agreeing with you.

Jesus. How did I know it’d be the Russians. It’s always the Russians.

I agree the Trump administration is stupid and most people who voted for him have no idea what they actually voted for.
