US Politics Thread

[MillionMilesAway]

We live in the Internet age. They could do it in a week. And I think they will do something to legitimise her nomination. But it looks like they won't encourage serious alternatives to come forward.

The discussion last night said that there was going to be a virtual roll call planned already for 2 weeks time, regardless of who was standing. The Convention is then 2 weeks after that.

The Republicans are going to be repeating their attack points, and seem agitated about the legality of the raised funds being transferred on - I would hope that big donors are asked to send letters supporting the transfer just in case it's needed. Presumably there isn't time to set up a court case and then appeal that to SCOTUS!

Relieved is probably right.

I think out of all the MSNBC presenters, she genuinely wants the Democrats to take the White House, and in recent weeks has become increasingly concerned that a Biden run would see democrats practically wiped out up and down the ticket in November.

She? The whole of MSNBC is like the politics thread on Blue Moon... A bunch of deranged lefties who can't stomach any dissent or counter opinion.

I mean, the only good Republican is a Dead Republican in their eyes.

 

[Dax777]

She needs to be able to run a two year campaign in four months. She can’t do that and learn how to be President too. Republicans want a single lightning rod to focus their attacks upon so they want Biden out of the way now. All the more reason he should have announced he wasn’t running after the midterms but anyway.

Nooo. They are making a legitimate claim that if he is unfit to run, he clearly he is unfit to serve.

Both points are true

 

[Mr Kobayashi]

Yes.

What about if an American poster comes on here and states I'm voting for Trump. Even after admitting he's 100% a racist but I'm still all in with him. That to me is fuckin weird. You want a Racist ( your words ) to be president.

 

[Dax777]

It has done.

Trump 1/2
Harris 9/4

She was over 3/1 when I checked yesterday.
Good sign.

What does this mean in English. I never understood betting language.

 

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

Sp; what's the consensus on here then? Can Harris stop Donald Van Gogh?

I dont think so personally.

 

[BlueHammer85]

What does this mean in English. I never understood betting language.

if you put £10 on Trump to win it would return £15

If you put £10 on Harris to win it would return £32.50

so Trump the clear favorite still.

however £10 on Harris yesterday would have returned £40

so she has narrowed the odds a little already.

Thank fuck we have the delegate for OAN/Newsmax on here for balance.

 

[domalino]

She can’t do that and learn how to be President too.

Why does she need to learn how to be president?

She's already more qualified than anyone else on the ballot.

It's always weird seeing so many people arguing with Dax. He openly supports a racist pedophile rapist, he's obviously completely amoral and has no logic to his arguments. At best he's just a troll that should have banned years ago but gets away with it by virtue of pretending to voice a minority view, and at worse he endorses Trump's rapes and other crimes.

 

[TinFoilHat]

The Kremlin have given their view on Harris.

"Who?"

 

[bluejon]

Think the timing of this will work quite nicely in Harris's favour. Trump's gone all in on the attack ads claiming Biden was too old etc, everything will have been angled to try and show Trump as being 'change' whereas now both candidates can claim to be change. Hoping Harris is going to tear that racist piece of shit to pieces in the debates and put this fucking maga bullshit to bed.

Doubt Trump will do any debates because there’s only downside for him being exposed by a sharp mind who speaks coherently. On the other hand his ego might make him overrule advice because of his ridiculously overinflated opinion of himself.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Faux News deliberately pronouncing her name wrong.

The GOP are a bunch of kids that were never slapped growing up.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

I dont think so personally.

i think you’re wrong. I think she can, but I don’t know if she will.

 

[domalino]

i think you’re wrong. I think she can, but I don’t know if she will.

The only thing that really matters is that she's got a better chance than Biden, who after the last 6 weeks was clearly heading to a defeat, and she's got a better chance than anyone else because she's got name recognition and $130m no one else can use.

Wouldn’t get your hopes up she’s embarrassing

Biden steps down, Harris to take over Democrat nomination. Most I suspect are happy with this. Surely as UK residents we dont need to know much more than this as headline news. The details and endless analysis can be presented on so called back pages.

Wouldnt it be better for the actions and policies of our new government and other UK events plus world events to make the headlines. Instead the BBC and to an extent Sky have seemingly gone into overdrive about the US election and all it's implications. The BBC did this 4 years ago and got rightly criticised by some for their endless coverage, when im convinced the majority of people in the UK are not that bothered.
