The race is run, the winner declared!

For further discussion of the election:

USA - 2024 US Presidential Election: Trump vs Harris (pt II)

I will be keen to watch the handover on J6 I think, Will the Bidens attend unlike Trump? Will the crowd be the biggest in history, Will there be a magical Mystery victory tour and rallies like 2016, Will he reduce his golf games and stop heading North in the Summer or home to Fl in the winter...

Huh?

JD Vance will run and Vivek will be Vice

Nothing more certain

Question is, who will run for Democrats? Absolutely zero standouts

Don’t discount Tulsi.

James carville, michael moore and bill maher looking pretty stupid tonight after proclaiming trump has no chance.

 

[troybe]

Kamala’s coming out shortly to declare victory and to tell the populace the election was stolen. That’s how you do it isn’t it.

One pretty good reason for this type of result.

You go on almost any major social media site and it's dominated by conservative shows, accounts, comments and engagement. Youtube, Facebook, and Twitter it's a landslide. Reddit and Instagram are more mixed, not sure about tik tok, never been on it. I'm not doubting there are bots but even without those, it's an area the left lags behind

Xi could only serve two terms when he started. Putin had term constraints when he started

Trump will manufacture a way to extend his term limit if he wants just like they did.


All he needs is both sides of the house and a favourable supreme court.

Things that Trump won’t do - exhibit A

 

[MadMundy]

I have to ask, why is it so difficult for the Democrats to run a half decent candidate? Seriously. And why did they not learn a single thing from 2016???

Harris' campaign when you boil it down was just "I'm not Trump please vote me"

Gee how riveting. No primaries either, the Democrats didn't even get to choose their candidate, she was just put there.

 

[adogsfan5]

Has Kamala been sighted / said anything yet?

 

[The Law]

Kamala’s coming out shortly to declare victory and to tell the populace the election was stolen. That’s how you do it isn’t it.

Yes. Like Al Gore in 2000, Hillary in 2016, and Abrams in 2018.

The democrats invented calling elections illegitimate.

 

[captain blood 17]

Adam Bandt already calling for the end of AUKUS.

Adam should be more concerned with results like QLD.

 

[ABSOLUTE MADMAN]

Seemed pretty obvious that Trump would sweep the swing states before today. Would not have guessed the popular vote on top of that.

Did anyone seriously think that bringing the likes of Dick bloody Cheney into the tent and boasting about making America the greatest military force in the world was going to work?

There are people who think they cannot afford to put gas in their cars and many of them would have lost loved ones to a couple of pointless and seemingly endless wars and now they are seeing more money pissed away on such fruitless bullshit.


"hey we have Dick on board - vote for us, we are a little bit Obama and a little bit Bush. The best of both worlds!"

Bugger off.

suspect there will be massive cuts to funding for education beyond elementary school level, with the intent to train youth directly for the jobs they can get if they can't pay for higher education, starting as menial workers to replace the illegal immigrants with teenage labour, and lacking critical analytic skills will soak up what they are told to do.

And yes, these low educated folk will not be involved in any "wprkers revolution". They will be kept dumb and superficially happy with media distraction

f**k that could actually work..

Uneducated swill reliably vote Republican.

Will be watching The View tomorrow. Will be mint

 

[Rotayjay]

All the Monday expert stuff about Harris being a poor candidate is a bit rich. Twelve hours ago she was 50/50 to win.

Gees i grew up in eltham. And thats before it got gentrified. Are their seriously now lots of homeless people in eltham?

Few suburbs over, absolutely. Go to the Aldi near the old Heidelberg Mall, and you're guaranteed to have a beggar or three outside the entrance.

Bill Maher will be epic

I go to the supermarkets there a couple of times a week and there is a homeless person at each one. One poor chap has only one arm. I have seen him sleeping around the football oval at Panther Place. He is a genuine case. Most sad.

Will be watching The View tomorrow. Will be mint

recording it. They will get record viewership tomorrow. Will be amazing.

Bernie Sanders won Vermont for a fourth six-year term at least

Sen. Bernie Sanders wins a fourth term representing Vermont

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders has won reelection to a fourth six-year term. The 83-year-old independent senator is a self-described democratic socialist who caucuses with the Democrats and twice came close to winning the presidential nomination.

How different might things have been if Sanders got the nod over 'Crooked Hillary' back in 2016?

It helped. Just not enough.

Those who despise cheney were voting democrat anyway.

Neocons and Neoliberals.

The coalition from hell.

America, we're laughing at you (again), not with you

That’s actually been me the last 4 years

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Honest question. In your opinion was the assassination attempt, and the optics from it, a crucial turning point in the election?

Nah made no difference

People don't vote for a photo

All it did is change the rhetoric for a few days

 

[Rotayjay]

The way Trump's diehards are, he could pick a gay guy as VP, and they'd go along with it.

Donald got it dead right when he said in 2016 that he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and not lose any voters. He's extraordinary.

Their corporate capture doesn't allow them to run remotely populist candidates with any populist policies - by design.
