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...

It's easy to run your mouth. Go and vote. America is so fickle like that

Pro Palestine? Go vote. Pro Women's Choice? Go Vote.

Otherwise just shut up and accept that celebrities and influencers want to look good, yet do nothing

 

[Malifice]

Trumps looking good in the swing states.

Early days but he's in front atm.

USA is gonne be fun to visit in Feb 2026

Like my 2018 trip I'm seriously gonna have to keep my mouth shut or change the topic or play dumb

You say that but people are getting assaulted for wearing MAGA gear in Democrat cities, so you're better off just keeping your mouth shut about politics over there altogether.

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Is there a dumber population in the history of the planet

Many. There are still people around the world who think other ethnicities in their country should be eradicated.

 

[happy_eagle]

Be cheaper now thanks to so many thinking similarly!

This is true

tbh I lived in the US for 6 months under the last Trump admin, and it really made no difference. Big enough country where you can ignore politics if you want to.

Watching the Muslims and others who refused to vote Dem will be interesting. Will get what they deserve sadly.

They deserve the racism they’re subjected to?

Wow, I wonder why liberals couldn’t win them over.

For a year people were saying Biden and then Harris needed to change tact. They refused to. But it’s not Biden’s and Harris’ fault, of course, but the people who gave them every opportunity to stop supplying the bombs to kill their families.

Unbelievable.

 

[Sir_Loin]

The guy is going to get away with all of it can you believe it

The USA as some shining city on the hill it’s over no one can trust them again. Massive turning point

 

[MarcMaverick]

I'm not sure what the point is you're trying to make here, MM.

You said that black women didn't vote for Harris because she doesn't represent them, and I'm wanting to know how a billionaire with an extensive history of racism and misogyny does.

Harris needed more than just colour and gender to appeal to the public. She is about as cookie-cutter as they come.

 

[dogs105]

Those swing states will start getting closer from now. Going to be close.

 

[FreoRicci]

Bernie being shafted for Hillary was probably the biggest mistake Democrats have done in recent years.

Wonder what the world would've been like if Bush didn't cheat to win over Gore also?

Democrats just like Labor. Infighting high IQ, no common sense.

Democracy is about treating and pandering to absolute idiots/dumbasses. Give them quotes and pretend you care about them

 

[beez]

Crazy how much Sherrod Brown got smoked in Ohio. Thought he'd probably lose but it would be under 1pt.

 

[bourbons]

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

Yeah. Coz he kept echoing nazi rhetoric, right down to the specific language.

Are people just supposed to not mention it or something?

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

The constitution Trump mused about terminating yeah?

Trump rebuked for call to 'terminate' Constitution over 2020 election results

Former President Donald Trump faced rebuke Sunday from officials in both parties after calling for the “termination” of parts of the Constitution over his lie that the 2020 election was stolen.

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.

Eh? Its the base they have under-peformed with this time around isn't it?

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Such a racist ,climate denying, selfish country.

Glad we live in a country like Australia

 

[tandino]

I've always said the US Senate needs more car salesmen.

 

[Sir_Loin]

Many. There are still people around the world who think other ethnicities in their country should be eradicated.

That’s one of trumps key policies not sure what you’re on about

 

[Malifice]

This is true

tbh I lived in the US for 6 months under the last Trump admin, and it really made no difference. Big enough country where you can ignore politics if you want to.

Try living in Ukraine.

Its going to make a huge difference.

 

[Sir_Loin]

No

Australia is getting there though

We’re very industrious

 

[Sir_Loin]

It a

Agree

 

[MarcMaverick]

I blame Hulk Hogan he got Amercians to vote for Trump.

Right an over the hill, overrated hack of a Pro Wrestler got people to vote for Trump.

 

[aCunningPlan]

Watching the Muslims and others who refused to vote Dem will be interesting. Will get what they deserve sadly.

This I don't understand. Trump was the one who literally changed US policy to recognise Israeli settlements in the West Bank, before then the US at least adhered to the UN position these were illegal. The Dems may have been too scared to change the status quo but Trump will actively obliterate Palestine.

 

[Better Loosen Up]

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.

I feel for Ukraine and Tiawan as well.

Only hope now for Ukraine is for Poland to give NATO the big FU by going in and driving Russia out themselves.

It will be interesting how Trump approaches the Tiawan issue.

Trump as President again is just sick and I'm not even a Democrats supporter. What is wrong with Americans?

 

[pantskyle]

They're eating the votes.

 

[Hank Scorpion]

Idiots, US has had best economy post covid of most countries and lowest inflation.
Obvious outright bullshit and lying time after time works, but Trump knew that.

Can't find a link, but I remember seeing a poll around 2017. Trump voter perception of the economy turned on a dime within days of him being inaugurated.

Ask them again in three months time and you'll have gone from half of the population thinking 2.4% inflation is completely out of control, to thinking everything turned into sunshine and rainbows overnight.

 

[happy_eagle]

I do hope that if it becomes inevitable that Harris concedes and there is a normal transfer of power.
