That was one of her biggest blunders. She should’ve picked Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro. She’d have at least held that state. Only problem with him is he’s too intelligent and would have made her look more stupid than she already does.

There is a lot of anti semitism also which may have made it difficult to win an election with Shapiro as VP.

I know where about 1.3 million of them went.

Russia?

I have no idea which way Rogan leans politically. I watch him when he has a guest I'm interested in.

He was a classic 90s democrat until he became friends with Musk and covid hit.

So we've been hearing about record turnouts at polling booths for 2 weeks

But there's less votes than 2020, for both sides.

10 -15 million less.

They don't care, 2 shit candidate and the one who is shitter than the other won lol.

It's not, the idiots couldn't see through the red mist in their eyes and vote for the lesser of the two evils. There's no Trump rhetoric anywhere that says he supports Palestine. This is all on them and I have no sympathy.

All on the arab americans, or the people who didn't vote because of Gaza?

I think the margin is so large it can't be attributed to that.

Most commentary seems to suggest that the election was lost on economic grounds. Ironically, Biden and the Fed seem to have achieved an near-perfect soft landing that would be the envy of most nations - I guess it counts for nothing when most voters are economically illiterate and just perceive 'higher prices throughout the term and growing unemployment = bad at managing the economy'.

Can't help but feel that it seems a little too convenient that Trump appears to have benefited substantially from the economic affects that the War in Ukraine had on the global economy. It was almost timed to perfection.

Will be interesting to see what he actually does with tariffs - in theory it would be ruinous to the US economy - but in practice, who knows.

Russia?

Is that what we're calling an early grave from Covid-19?

 

[Moonwatcher]

Wait, did the counters go to bed because the election had been decided?

 

[Crankyhawk]

Couldn't pick a "Shapiro" with a large portion of the Democrats base being anti-semites. The left, slaves to the identity politics they created.

Picking Shapiro would have been seen as sucking up to Israel

 

[Chief]

In his speech not just a couple of hours ago, he said, and I quote:

“I’ll fix everything. I promise you.”

So that’s the bar he’s set for himself. Think he can reach it Trump supporters?

There's a thread with all of his promises in the OP.

I think it will be amusing watching none of them get ticked off completed.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Let’s sum this day up.

Blind drunk -
South Australia own 8 nuclear subs, which we have no problem unleashing -
I need a haircut, which will never happen -
I won an Espresso machine courtesy of Rupert & his evil empire -
Revolver is by far the best Beatles album -
Some white guy won a foreign election - meh
Rupert Murdoch is still not dead.

These are nearly facts.

Disgusting and disgraceful comment

Onto ignore that’s truly a disgusting comment

Don't worry they're not coming back to this thread.

Pretty sure they're out finding more votes.

For years even on Bigfooty I was mocked for saying Rogan was a RWNJ …very comical watching his mask come off in the last few days so publicly

What's comical is people still thinking that about him. Has a lot of opinions that are decidedly not right wing for starters.

... and then he cultivates a right wing audience while pretending he isn't.

Such a lefty.

Maybe you can figure that one out yourself...

Or thinks for himself and has such a huge audience it has plenty of both.

2028 Josh Shapiro v Ben Shapiro - just to confuse everyone

Dude is a self-confessed ****ing idiot.

As I said . Harris refused to go on. She should have just went to Texas and did the interview. What ever she was doing in that time frame wasnt as important as a interview getting 50+ millon views on YT, I can guarantee that

Particularly when he said he was happy to do it at literally any time of the day from 9am until midnight.

 

[Chief]

I'd take any progress towards any of these issues, rather than the Democrat alternative of actively encouraging these issues.

God you are such a clown.

 

[Chief]

You love vaccines

Yes! They saved so many lives, and stopped so much pain and suffering.

But all the people who have had Covid 6 times tell me I'm wrong.

 

[Partridge]

Comeon, let's be realistic. They offered 1 hour because they didn't want to do it. They knew Rogan would have wanted longer, all of his episodes are 2-3 hours. Further, "one hour" in Kamala time is maybe 15-30 minutes. Take her interview on Fox for example. She intentionally rocked up 15 minutes late and then wrapped up early because she couldn't answer any of Fox's quesitons. The Rogan podcast would have been the same. She would have been late, pulled together a 30 minute performance and her handlers would have interrupted and ended it. Rogan wouldn't have been able to air it.

I think the shortest episode I've ever heard was when he had Steven Pinker on (the first time) and he had a plane to catch and it went 2 hours 30 exactly from memory. His episodes are normally three hours at a minimum.

Good thing it doesn't work because his audience is too stupid to listen for that long.

In between bongs?

An alarming amount of people who vote in America don't care about democratic norms, as long as they think/feel the person they are voting for will improve their personal situation.
