[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...

I had to laugh when I saw that strategist on SBS US feed say the polls were right .

How could you when fentanyl is rampant on their streets?

If anyone is suggesting that tourists can now, no longer go and enjoy a holiday in the US.. then wow. I dunno what to say.

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

Nah. You'll be fine. Talked gun control, Covid vaccines etc with people in the South last year.

Just wouldn't suggest going to small town bars and being over the top. Same as in Australia tbh. I've bitten my tongue going back to my regional hometown and seeing old neighbours, family etc.

Medium to large cities I found more people who agreed on various things and were jealous of us.

America as a whole is easily to the left of Trump, but many don't see him for who he actually is (as evidenced by vague cheerleaders here).

Trump winning North Carolina and looks like he is even a chance of winning Virginia.

Trump, modi, putin,xi jinping. Probably the 4 most powerful leaders in the world, all sharing a lot of similar traits. There is a pattern emerging in the type of leaders people are electing now.

Only 1 of those is actually getting elected by the people, fingers crossed that doesn't become a 0...

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

I thought 2016 was the death of wokism

2024 the death of wokism. First the divisive Voice referendum was turned down, and now Biden/Harris and their war mongering corrupt deep state get the middle finger.

What a terrific result.

You weird dorks sound so pathetic complaining about something you can't even define.

Putin and Xi Jinping aren't elected though.

But good point

 

[Achy Blakey Heart]

Trump wins Iowa….seltzer poll trolled a heap of progressives in here.

 

[Ghost Patrol]

The melts are beginning.

So the mask is off now. You really don't care about mental health after all?

 

[Sir_Loin]

The Koch’s finally got their wish

The oligarchy is strong in the USA. The free and the proud what a bunch of morons

 

[wilsonmatic]

North Carolina to Donald!! Let's get it.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Why is there no count for NEvada? Haven't been reading the thread

 

[Roobs321]

this is part of why the late Scomo stuff with China (origins of Covid, trade war, aukus) was always going to come back to bite

worth remembering that we are so thoroughly deep in the US pocket (and have been for several decades) that a truly independent policy was always a fallacy, but it was nice when we could indulge it

 

[The Sultan]

Trump winning North Carolina and looks like he is even a chance of winning Virginia.

was there consent ?? .... sorry misread the last word

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

I wonder if Trump will see out the presidency?

He's not the fittest 78 year old

 

[LukeParkerno1]

At least the View will be hilarious

 

[Saint]

No one will keep Trump in check

The simpleton didn't even get his wall built.

He doesn't care about immigration or inflation. He'll do as he's told by the GOP House/Senate as he was in his first term.

He'll impost tariffs. (Buy Tesla shares) and it will have a detrimental impact on the economy which he won't be able to hide behind COVID this time, though he will continue to blame China and Mexico.

 

[bzparkes]

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

Are people just supposed to not mention it or something?


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.

www.pbs.org

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

You can quote all you want but Trump cannot amend the constitution.

Suggesting he would is blatant fear-mongering.

His own party would throw him out the door if he even attempted it.

Why is there no count for NEvada? Haven't been reading the thread

it's usually one of the very last from memory

 

[Randomizor]

Why is there no count for NEvada? Haven't been reading the thread

They don’t even start counting until the last vote is cast

 

[Romeoh1]

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

Nope - she didn’t - this should have been a complete no brainer. They will live to regret it but so much damage will be done by the time they work it out. What a crock. Weakies.

 

[bzparkes]

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

Yep, very true unfortunately.

Need to pander to the lowest common denominator/pick the lowest hanging fruit.
