The race is run, the winner declared!

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...

Why could white people be voting for trump in such numbers? Sure religion is part of it but not in these numbers

The only conclusion i have is they are sick of wokism and not the equal rights part of wokism (but the other part that most sane progressives pretend doesnt exist).

It's the economy, stupid - Wikipedia

Is this a red mirage or is the blue tsunami still incoming? Asking for a friend.

 

[Xtreme]

And yet the Trumpers on here will be celebrating and gloating but for what I’m not sure.

Bragging rights

The democrats ran a horrible campaign akin to Albo's "trust us we'll get it done". Explain in minute by minute detail your plans to fix what was already broken during your current term!

 

[Achy Blakey Heart]

AOC will be the leader of the party now.

Is the landslide about to happen?

 

[Happy Mastenator]

Do you think Democrats constantly calling Trump a 'Nazi' and a 'Fascist' (1), as well as Biden calling their supporters 'Garbage' is a positive thing (2)?

Trump's had 2 attempts on his life in the lead up to the election (3).

Do you think it wouldn't have happened if Democrats didn't take this path? They needed to be better to stand out as a more appealing candidate to swing voters and moderate Republicans who don't like Trump (4) .

Then there's the constant fear-mongering(even in this thread) about how there'll 'never be a fair election again' if Trump wins(although I do note that Musk said the same thing about Harris).

For better or for worse(likely worse...), Republicans are very patriotic by nature and revere the constitution, especially the 1st amendment (5).

Democrats attempts to censor and silence political opponents has only served to reinforce their support for Trump and simply gave him free fodder for the campaign trail. (6)

Democrats simply don't seem to be able to relate to anyone outside of their core base at the moment and that has to change (7)

(1) it was people who worked for Trump who called him that. Inlcuding his vice president
(2) Not helpful, but Trump has been calling the country garbage for the last 9 months
(3) Both by right wingers
(4) Kamala is as moderate as they come. Fact is that the country is bitterly divided
(5) Bullcrap, they use it when it supports their own ends, and disavow it when it doesn't suit.
(6) Both sides try and censor
(7) Agreed something needs to change.

You are going to be stunned when you see what trump does.

Again, what's your evidence that Harris was going to change course?

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

So, your economy's going so great that you can't afford rent and struggle to pay for groceries? Looking across social media these past few years, it seems this is a very common concern for low/middle-class income earners.

They don't really care that politicians and billionaires are getting richer off an improved economy, nor should they.

It's the same in most developed countries

They're going to get a rude shock when things don't improve by changing parties

[bzparkes]

Weren't both of those ****ers Republicans? Lol

Again, do you think if he wasn't constantly labeled a 'Nazi' and a 'Fascist' it still would've happened?

 

[OneGreatClub]

Will be a fantastic day for America if Trump gets up. Huge effort so far from Donald. Elon has also been brilliant during his campaign. Worthy winners.

Bring it home, gents.

They’re coming out of the woodwork now.

Real problems for sure but not Democrat ones. More baseline poverty/lack social safety nets compared to other countries leaves far more people vulnerable in the wake of events like covid.

Surely we're not pretending a Republican admin would have avoided these issues.

 

[Sentinel]

So Trumps on 210

Atm the numbers suggest he has Georgia and NC.

That gets him 242. The road out of this looks perilous.

I believe it now comes down almost entirely to the blue wall (where she's currently behind), unless she drops Wisconsin but wins Arizona.

 

[Saint]

That's some pretty good gains though for a republican candidate especially with the media rhetoric surrounding him.

It's interesting hearing the reasons people think the Democrats may lose this election is because in summary they're dumb racist misogynists'. But I hope the democrats actually listen to people that voted against them and learn from it rather than doubling down on that.

They did lose because enough voters are dumb racist misogynists. But Democrats shouldn't say that, they should try to appeal to dumb people (probably not bother with the racists and misogynists.

Trump is a convicted and admitted racist misogynist and clearly stupid. Just don't call his voters that or they'll never vote for you.

 

[OneGreatClub]

The Senate race in Michigan will be an interesting one. GOP have flipped WV, but the Senate will be able to keep Trump in check if he doesn't flip too many more. Failed in Wisconsin and New Mexico, and an Independent took a GOP seat in Nebraska.

Klobuchar(D) might be flipped out of Minnesota after 18 years

No one will keep Trump in check

 

[Seeds]

AOC will be the leader of the party now.

Nope. They will have to drop the wokism stuff and return to traditional liberalism and workers rights.

But it may be too late and there wont be another fair election again.

 

[Strange Cat]

Well, he has to.

That's not up to him.

But he hasn’t and he won’t

Are you thick?

 

[bzparkes]

Oh I don't expect them to improve but I can understand why fence-sitters wouldn't be stoked at voting for 4 more years of the same, especially when your presidential candidate said they wouldn't change anything they did in their previous term.

 

[Achy Blakey Heart]

How did Kamala appealing to the center work out for you?

Dems aren’t centre they are republican lite. And if you have to chose between the cheap Bali fake or the real thing you know what most people are going to chose.

What, pretend they’re not dumb racist misogynists?

 

[King Patty]

Trump leading in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvannia, North Carolina, Georgia + Arizona

She didn’t say that

Have to feel for ukraine and gaza tonight. Probably taiwan as well.

Poland will be very nervous about what happens in 5 years time too.

 

[OneGreatClub]

Nope. They will have to drop the wokism stuff and return to traditional liberalism and workers rights.

What oppress trans and gays to you mean?

 

[bourbons]

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

100%

My god the stones on these people (and Joe himself) thinking they could get away with running him, hubris doesn't even begin to describe it. Absolutely incredible

 

[iDon]

This is probably the best take in here.

It will only get worse for his supporter base that he has whipped into a frenzy. Its scary what will come of the US.
