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...

This is all about the economy and the fact that everyone has forgotten what Trump was like last time.

 

[pjcrows]

Campaign did the same thing with Israel/Palestine conflict etc - pandered to the right and lost

That's not campaign pandering - that's their policy. They're actively funding the war.

What a fukcing dumpster fire. From January 6 to here. Jesus.

 

[burge13]

Trump says there was a lot of cheating in PA so I think we should exclude that state

Would be funny if he wins the states that were 'rigged' & says no more about it

Kamala should lean into that

 

[Father Jack]

Not reading through the whole thread but you'd think the economy would have been the winner for Trump. When people are struggling they are going to vote the party in power out regardless of the cause. The same will happen here in our election next year.

We've already done that once in this economic cycle so to do it again doesn't make much sense, but yeah, majority government might be a thing of the past

Huh? She can't string 4 words together without giggling to herself

"She had the other interview with the other guy who was a nice guy I think from Philadelphia from Pennsylvania, he was a nice guy, he was asking her all these (scrambles words) – the daily take – they don’t take like I do! Anybody wants to go, go what the hell differences they make – they have – and how dishonest was ABC..”

That is a real quote from Donnie. I mean, come on

If Trump's your guy good luck to you but pretending he speaks, completes sentences, communicates meaning etc better than Harris is hilarious. 'Word salad' didn't even enter the popular vernacular until Trump burst onto the scene.

Wisconsin and Michigan can still go Blue. A lot of vote out in Milwaukee/Detroit for example. But still leaves Harris short.

Not sure how she comes back in Pennsylvania.

A late surge just now in Harris' favour however still a lot of ground to make up and 16% left to be counted.

Harris currently behind 175k votes.
Is due to secure about 175k votes from Philadelphia County alone with it being only 77% counted. Going to be bloody close here!

You're right - regardless my point is they need to become a true progressive party. Invigorate the youth to come out and vote and stop trying to become the Republican-lite party.

Don't think it'll happen here, but yeah if the perception is that the economy is bad, it's uphill from there.

And let's be clear, the US economy is not good for most people.

It's just that Trump's track record shows he will funnel the wealth upwards more quickly than Democrats. And people don't see it.

 

[QuietB]

The least progressive western nation on the planet couldn't bring themselves to vote in a coloured woman.

This result is not surprising.

 

[Randomizor]

The US makes no sense. Voted Trump for president but voted against abortion bans and for higher minimum wages.

Why even have policies if people are just going to ignore what they are?

Oh they both talk terribly. Don't pretend otherwise

Some kind of network failure in Nevada

That’s fair

Are you really that dumb

Read his posting history. He really is.

I'm getting dystopian HUNGER GAMES feels

[Scythe94]

Yeah waiting to be booted. A particular polital group don't like opposing opinions on these forums I have noticed. I'll see myself out.
for Trump.

I don't moderate this board, so don't let me stand in the way of you making a fool out of yourself.

Trump is the turnout king, no question about it.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

All those glum faces and sadness from Kamala fans lols

 

[SSwans2011]

Well I think we must agree to disagree. I'd prefer to spend a few minutes watching some funny clips on the train ride in to work than half my life on bigfooty you.........weirdo? lol.

It's a nice centralised website where I can discuss a few of my interests in my spare time (footy, supercoach, politics, music, etc). I appreciate your concern, but I've spent multiple months of this year overseas, attended countless gigs and art events, and ticked a few big things off my bucket list. I'll be fine.

I don't know how you even liken using a forum to discuss your interests in your spare time to having an impulse to laugh at other people's misery. It's funny that you don't even try to argue that's totally cool and normal behaviour, because you know it's not.

Trumps supporters could not tell you what his policies are.

Harris is an underwhelming speaker

Trump is a rambling alco propping up the end of the bar

Mess of a human of course but what does it say about that country that he has 60mill votes. Holy moly. Lots of people around my area have been convicted of sexual assault and fraud..I might encourage them to run as a politician..

 

[Sir_Loin]

Read his posting history. He really is.

By the sounds of it the better option would probably be to stick a rusty nail in my eye
