US Presidential Election, Nov 5th 2024

[halfcenturyup]

It will push us closer to Europe. Europe including the UK need to accept the US is no longer a reliable ally and will need to do more for ourselves.

And it's about time, tbh.

How shit must the Democrats be if the people would rather have Trump, fucking hell.

I think blaming the Dems misses the point.

Americans have looked at a fascist bully and liked what they've seen. Better to face that reality than cast around for blame.

 

[Gabriel]

What do you think will happen over there in the next 4 years? Do you really think there will be no elections for example?

There will still be elections.

Cases against Trump will be disappeared and he will spend even more time on the golf course than he did in his first term, which was roughly 261 games.

Compared to Biden, Harris seems to have done a terrible job. I bet the democrats are now questioning why they picked her over other candidates

 

[Keeper!]

A nation of immigrants electing a fascist, only in the USA, "god" help America.

 

[Mancini Manus Domini]

I can't believe 44% of women think Trump will make a better president.

Seems like he got the macho man vote, usually means thick as pig shit.

Misjudged the latent racism and/or misogyny of far too many people. Probably more the latter considering they voted for Obama twice.

Let’s hope non of them need an abortion.

Didn't expect it to unravel this quickly. Looks like the Orange one may he even win the popular vote? There is clearly a level of disillusionment over there that we outsiders cannot fully appreciate.Another 4 years of daily psychodrama incoming.

Fascism is an easy ideology to follow if your in the majority.

Over time you realise you are a minority that needs to be removed from society.

Maddow on MSNBC sounds suicidal. She's trying to find positives but it's not working.

Democrats need to learn from this - attack minorities, attack Muslims and people of colour, attack women and their reproductive rights, attack LGBQT, attack the mainstream media and threaten to not accept the democratic outcome if it doesn’t go their way. Support Netanyahu and Putin and get the wealthiest onboard to promote their propaganda on social media.

 

[threespires]

Just woke up. Fucking hell, feel sorry for many of our US posters, feel sorry for us all actually. I knew it was a possibility but I'm still struggling to get my head round it.

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

Just up.
How bad is it?

Shit. I’ll go back to bed. Wake me in 4 years.

 

[Gray]

Only in America.

Other competitive candidates may believe 2028 will be a good time to do it. Wait for the clock to swing back,

Been to the US a few times and always enjoyed meeting the people.
Always friendly but fuck me, most i met seemed incredibly naive & almost childlike about politics or world affairs.
Not cynical cunts like us Brits ha

 

[SkyBlueAmerican]

Ashamed and embarrassed to be an American tonight. Not sure what else I can say.

They are very insular, most don’t have passports and probably couldn’t even show you were most other countries in the world are.

The thing that gets me is all the bleating. They spent Trump's last term moaning about stuff like him packing the Supreme Court and an unfair electoral system, and what have the actually done to fix it in the years where they've actually been in power?
