The 2024 US Presidential Election Discussion thread

[Switch]

The anxiety level is high right now, and it will get worse over these next two days. Democracy is at stake.

I don’t think democracy is at stake here. It’s about shame if Trump wins. The shame will attach itself to every American, whether you voted for Trump or not! Any American traveling abroad will deny the land of their birth, and claim to be Canadian. Yes, I know the scent is different but most don’t if you speak slowly!

It's the Marple syrup, innit?

Erm....

He said it so maybe he means it.

You can bet the majority of Congressional Republicans will dump Trump if he tries his rigged election bullshit again.

Sorry Norts - they will back him all the way. The Congressional Republican party is full of spineless ^&^%$ers who have shown not a shred of any decency.

Mind you, it is fun to see Republicans have to go on air repeatedly to say that well, no Trump did not say that. Jake Tapper got quite irate recently when a politician said Trump did not say that repeatedly, where again Tapper read the exact quote and still the guy said he did not say that.

Amusingly, Mike Johnson is starting to look like he has just eaten a big old turd sandwich.

Suppose so but if political expedient to keep their noses in the troff, the will.

A lot of people seem to think that Trump losing will put an end to him, and will allow the Republican party to get back to what is was before Trump. I am not sure that is going to work - they are so MAGA infested, and complicit, I cannot see them getting the party back.

Trump may have broken the Republican party for good.

As an organisation, The GOP does seem overly invested, not just in Trump, but the maga morons he carries everywhere with him.
The Republican Party will waste little time on him if he loses. Even if it needs a name change, They will come back, and because his voters are so stupid, some of them will carry on anyway.

The time has come for afoot and branch overhaul. At least Republicans for Harris has given them a starting point.

Let's face it, the GOP is just Britain's conservatives in a different country.

If they don't keep toeing this retarded, white folk line, the trumpanzees will all defect to some type of Reform party.

Which of course would be great for the Democrats.

[misskit]

^ The retarded white folk line is destined to end with them being in the minority very soon. The Republican Party needs revamp what they are for or they are finished very soon.

2045 is when whites will be in the minority. A mere 20 years.

I wonder if Joe 90 will understand it.

I voted this morning, with my two kids, both first-time voters. Got to the local polling station, a little before 6 AM, and there was already in line out to the street.

[Shutree]

Having spent more time than is reasonable watching events unfold, and being without a dog in this fight, I am now going to follow Norton's guidance and bet that Kamala will win this.
As I recall, Norton posted 300 for Kamala. I am more cautious, in the 280 to 300 range.
I posted before that I think that Kamala will definitely win the popular vote, I am even more confident of that now. However, will she be the next president?

[Shutree]

TD, help me. The stats are showing that my last post had 140,000 views in the past 20 minutes. There are not that many bored and lonely people in the world, surely? Is this connected to the reason that I keep getting that resource limit message?

[Stumpy]

Well we are off and running. Trump already loading up his lawyers to challenge every state he loses. I laugh really, so any state he loses, it was a cheat, but any he wins it was all on the up and up. What a douchebag.

[39TG]

He knows that nonsense is all bullshxt. His supporters don't.

With no admin, the spam bots and spiders are running amok.

[baldrick]

[Iceman123]

Trump

That number is not views to your post. it is views to this thread since it was started on 20-02-2024.

Also, those views are not all human views. All sorts of bots, spiders, etc, visit websites and 'view' pages, posts, threads and articles, and their visits to pages and threads are classed as 'views' by the forum software. The software does not differentiate between human and non-human views.

[Joe 90]

Before these all these American politics threads overload TD forever, I'll get this post in.

Easy money

[Norton]

Well we are off and running.

Yep. Now it's all about getting the voters out. So far record numbers with women being 55% of the voters. Gotta be a big plus for Harris.

[Joe 90]

Trumps seriously fvcked up with that abortion issue!

Whoever wins the city of brotherly love will win the election imho.
