There has been some truly deranged shit posted in here, it hasn't been 'mostly reasoned' at all

One idiot thinks they'll ease rape laws
People claiming they've cut out friends and family over it
It's been less unhinged than I thought but there are still some very, very strong melts. Selective viewing to suggest otherwise

Hmm. That seems orders of magnitude less melty than 2020, as predicted. It was truly something to behold.

Seriously mate, go back over some of those old threads, you'd love it

It's been less unhinged than MSNBC and some celebrities o be fair but still been quite a lot a everyone is racist, sexiest and nazis thrown around with no proof.

I am still waiting for a legitimate answer on why the New York rally was likened to a Nazi rally.

Something I find very interesting. Trump isn't more popular now, than he was at the previous election. At this point in time, he actually has around two million votes less than last time. So you could argue, less popular this time around.

If someone said, Trump would have two million less votes this election. You would have thought more confidently that the Democrats would have gotten up. But here is the thing, they themselves got a massive near 14 million less votes, at this point in time, compared to the previous election.

I have always said, Democrats have always had more voters in general these days, whether they win or lose these days, actually comes down to turn out from their own base.

In fact, for all the talk of record registrations, and record lines at the voting locations etc. Around 15-16 million people less voted yesterday. Which makes it all more interesting. Why did those 15 million people not vote in the most hotly and important election in many years? And for all the registered voters, and so called record this and that, where did all those votes go? It seems political pollsters massive over estimated, or exaggerated the turn out. Perhaps Covid played a part last time as well, with more people likely off work and free to vote etc.

Would have thought yesterday, you would have seen record voter turn outs.

[Episode IV]

Impeached Twice
Tried a coup on USA by trying to overturn 2020 election
Supporters starred insurrection on this issue government
Escaped death by inches
Convicted felon
Got smoked in a debate
Hated by almost every athlete singer actor tv show host journalist
Offended many races and people
Yet wins presidency empathetically hard to wrap my head around it
He pulled of one of the greatest accomplishments all things considered

If the outcomes don't fit expectations, question your premises.

 

[TheSunGod]

Sadly true. The US is so far down the toilet, they may never be able to drag themselves out again.

Not if Trump and his sycophants do what he says they’re going to do.

When you can't comprehend the output, maybe you should start to look at the inputs.

Jinx, this is what I said. Great minds.

 

[HirdsTheWord]

Let me guess, enlightened centrist?


You didn't post a video to me. You linked an article about where the Democrats went wrong that focused primarily on Harris' inability to unlink herself from Biden, with nary a mention about policy in sight ¯\(ツ)/¯

no, i just swing to whom i think has the best policy at the time for what suits me.

Voted Morrison 2019
Voted Albo 2022

Voted Gladys 2019
Voted Minns 2023.

You are doing what every nutcase lefty does. Combine people into negative buckets who disagree with you. Everyone who didn't want what you want is an "idiot" and a "right winger".

Click the link and it will take you to a video of CCN commentators (Jake Tapper) saying on air that Trump won because of his issue/policy based campaign. Do the hard work yourself.

 

[bourbons]

Yeah, you have to be very careful about how you frame it. The ideas they can be receptive to, but once you mentioned certain names or terms it triggers a part of their brain into tribal mode.

Lost count the amount of time I have had the following types of discussion with Americans:

Me: What do you think of Obamacare?
Them: Socialist crap, doesn't work, it's terrible. I'm not paying someone else's health bills!
Me: What do you think of the Affordable Care Act?
Them: Oh yeah, we should protect it, it's ridiculous I have to go bankrupt and pay xx for being sick!

Exactly. Have a look at what Fox viewers' opinions on actual policy are, once decoupled from the party promoting it. From 2020;



DogDaySonny, good example here of what I was talking about with the voting against their own interests discussion earlier.

Trump has correctly identified issues people are dissatisfied with but has no real meaningful policy platform to deal with them.

Don't confuse the two.

Actually... I think I like yours better.

Right, so unless you're a swing voter everyone you disagree with is an idiot?

Mate all I've said is that CNN are terrible, and they are. Why anyone would watch them unironically I have no idea. I manage to maintain this opinion even when they're saying things I agree with, shocking but true.

I've clicked the link and the only video is Harris' concession speech. Maybe they've updated the page or something.

Because Nazis held a rally in a building down the street many many moons ago. It's not relevant that both democrats and Republicans have held multiple functions in the old and new building since. Trump lives on the same planet as Hitler so he must be a Nazi.

Has no meaningful policy to deal with them and couldn't give a single shit about coming up with any. Yet his supporters will swear black and blue he cares about them.

Greatest con man of all time, ya gotta give him that.

That alone should tell you something about the 2020 election and how it was won..

lol come on, this is so disingenuous. No one is pretending its just the building - it was plonkers on the night like Stephen Miller echoing nazi language, exactly the same as Trump has done previously. "America for Americans" just one example.

Swap "immigrant" for "jew" throughout the night and the parallels were pretty stark.

So when are the majority of the Hollywood set moving to Canada?

Yes, clearly more Democrats than Republicans now make up Fox News' audience, good one

The tolerant side of politics folks.
