Autopsy US Election Day Thread - Trump 47th President of the United States

[Gethelred]

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...

Good time to get on maybe. When do the Dems do the 2am drop off of their postal votes to get ahead it will be a huge win. (this is satire)

I stupidly bet Harris yesterday at $2.50 but I've added more today at 8 and 9.80

Hopefully odds swing back a bit, intend on trading out of it all for profit at some point

320k votes coming for gwinett georgia

Lichtman will have to get a new set of keys cut.

Thanks, now know I can just skip over any of your posts moving forward.

The fact you are angered by that comment says it all really in this day and age

Whats dumb is progressives not voting for her. They have literally just destroyed themselves.

Nation wide Abortion ban.

Trump picks two more 40 year old supreme court justices who rule for next 50 years.

Israel eradicate gaza.

May never be another fair election.

All because progressives didnt vote.

It's voluntary voting, you need to inspire your base . Swing voters are only about 3% of voters, she put all her eggs in the swing voter basket and tried to win Republican voters.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Trump is taking a leaf out of John Howards book. Attract the support of the battlers and working class who would previously vote for Democrats. The Republicans have done a lot of work getting some of the unions on their side, and they also have done a lot od work to get the working class Hispanic vote and African American vote to flip. The Republicans have done work to narrow the supporter base for the Democrats, which has a flow on effect given the fact voting isn't compulsory in the US.

Bookmark it.... Trumpy: "I was in front all day, therefore I win". Any votes that don't get counted today are "invalid".

 

[Hank Scorpion]

The NYT needle has PA +1.9, MI +2.1, WI +1.4 for R.

Still a range of error, including a D win, but there'd need to be something systemic, across all three states for this to turn around.

 

[Randomizor]

NBC projecting Iowa for Trump. The Democrats were targeting Iowa as a State they could flip.

They weren’t though? They didn’t even campaign there

 

[Ghost Patrol]

Democrats are just too out of touch with the 'average' American, as evidenced by the current results coming in.

They need to take a long, hard look at themselves before the next election.

Democrats usually win the popular vote.

What's your definition of an 'average' American?

That I don't support outright bigotry? Oh no

Not really

 

[happy_eagle]

They really needed to have had a proper primary. Joe should have announced he was not seeking re-election last year.

 

[faible]

lol thanks for proving my point

That you've taken a fringe position, decided it represents the mainstream parties, and justifies supporting the far right being somehow 'centrist'?

 

[katana]

Nation wide Abortion ban.

where does this come from? all i've seen is that trump has said he would veto any nationwide ban.

 

[Skeppersap]

Republicans in track to win the popular vote as well.... They are currently the average American.

Unfortunately trans and Pedo groups

lol. You're cooked mate.

Lumping trans people in with paedophiles.

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

Kamala ran a good campaign, she didn't leave stones unturned like Hillary

USA is just ****ed

 

[Seeds]

It's voluntary voting, you need to inspire your base . Swing voters are only about 3% of voters, she put all her eggs in the swing voter basket and tried to win Republican voters.

Cos she didnt think her base was stupid and would destroy themselves because they didnt get everything they wanted.

Plus she needed swing voters. Her base wasnt enough.

Again, those on the base who have not voted have chosen trump. Its on them.

That I don't support outright bigotry? Oh no

That you are angered by a comment that a biological male is not a woman.

The left used to be pro womens rights.
The right used to be anti Russian.
Strange Times.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

I don't want Trump to win at all, but the swings are all going one way and the demographics are dire fro Harris. Those holding out are starting to sound a bit like Homer:



"It's just a little airborne, it's still good, it's still good!"

Hope I'm wrong

 

[Dixie Flatline]

NBC calling Wisconsin, Virginia, Nebraska and Minnesota as too close or too early to call.

 

[SSwans2011]

Unfortunately trans and Pedo groups

Jesus Christ, absolutely disgusting to put those 2 demographics beside one another like that.

 

[Colonial]

Please show me where I said I support the far right. Was hoping for Harris to win. Also voted for SSM. Very much anti religion.
Hardly the ideals of someone on the far right.

20 million immigrants deported.

All because progressives didnt vote.

Have you considered that maybe many of them ended up voting for Trump?

Some things you need to consider is that swing voters don't generally vote for one party as a 'package', because not every proposed piece of legislation will appeal to them.

They may vote for a party/candidate because they like some of their policies and the ones they don't like aren't high up on their list.

Others won't vote because of one particular on(abortion, for instance).

Also, people voting for Trump aren't likely to care in the slightest about Gaza, or immigrants being deported, because they care what's happening in their country right now and don't see Harris as the solution.

Of course, I don't think Trump's the solution in any way whatsoever but if he does get in, it'll be interesting if he actually does release the Epstein files, like he said he would.
