The current young generation know nothing about the empire and do not hark back to a mythical golden age. We are not, however, insignificant in that we still have a large economy, a good deal of soft power and the advantages of the English language. Whether we will use them or continue to drift relatively downwards is the question.

It has in the last thirty or forty years, but they have now encountered some of the classic problems of overheating. They will be forced to pause. Demand is low, the growth target is now half what it was. The numbers are clear.
 
Oh well. as they say when America soils the bed we all get dirty

He's made a lot of promises most of which will be impossible to deliver there is absolutely nothing anyone can do now but wait it out and hope sanity prevails in 4 years

I am with others I am deleting Twitter now

We'd like to think so but i've already had three (supposedly intelligent people) in the office make comments about loving Trump & wishing we had him over here.
One is a senior manager, one an engineer & one a designer

Very little discussion here about how poor a candidate Harris was.

Always thought she would lose, personally.

Got this post somewhere the describe her perfectly

A useless, insipid, undeserving and losing candidate. May that be her epitaph.

Didn't even have the guts to come out and address her supporters at Howard tonight.

She failed massively in 2020, not unlike @Piff Huxtable's idol John Delaney (PBUH). Got saved from Corey Booker's fate by Biden's largesse, being made the VP. How does she do? Who knows? Her VP tenure is largely forgettable. She's never spoken of as a serious replacement for Biden once he is term limited.

But all of a sudden, she gets handed the chance of a lifetime. Biden can't continue. The party blocks the idea of a primary to stress test the nominee, and they just fast track her in. And she runs, the most mid of mid campaigns I have ever seen

Her VP selection has the right idea on calling the MAGA folks weird. She shuts that down. She goes after the endorsements of reprehensible people like the Cheneys. She only releases her policy and platform after being badgered on it for weeks, because guess what, it didn't exist and she was running on vibes to start with. It comes out, and guess what, it's mid as fukk. Hedges on Lina Khan, one of the best choices Biden to his credit has ever made. Stonewalls the left on Palestine, not even giving an inch of hope beyond empty statements. Not one single fukking issue she stuck her neck out on apart from abortion, trying to play both sides.

And what has that left her with? A gigantic loss to the worst president this side of James fukking Buchanan. Not just the electoral vote, but the fukking popular vote. More people looked at her and Trump and went, yeah I'll go with Trump. What a useless failure of a politician.

Democrat stans will try and pin this loss on the left, on Elon, on A-rabs, on everyone else... But fukk that. The same way Gingrich, Gore, Kerry, McCain, Romney, Clinton and Trump owned their failures, Harris is gonna own and eat hers.

Bill Burr had this to say about Clinton 8 years ago. Sounds familiar?

I get sick of people making excuses for her. She blew it. See that, nobody thinks that... She blew it! Look, you lost to a guy who said 3 things a week that would torpedo anyone else's campaign, how do you do that? That's like you're playing a football game and the other team throws 20 interceptions and you still figure out how to blow it! At what point do you take responsibility? You blew it! You blew it... You put the wrong team around you, you didn't generate enough excitement to beat this guy...

Her political career is over too. Thank fukk for that. Go take up that lobbying job for the Third Way

Kamala is a direct representation of the current presidency and only had herself to blame for some of her past actions.

Coming out with celebrities given the shit storm going down at the minute would not help either.

Numbers mean nothing, America have incredible debt, so does the UK, we can't even give people decent healthcare anymore, look at the state of our roads, the state of our education system.

I guess you are too young to have been at school in the 50s, when it was horrendous and infected every lesson. It’s not worse now.

In some Democratic Party circles, the postmortem is already beginning despite a result not officially having been called yet.

One Democrat political operative in DC texts to say the party "needs to flush out elitist snobs in DC for a start".

Others have told me the same, albeit less bluntly - that while they praise the efforts of the campaign, they feel the party as a whole has an 'image problem' at a time when basic, everyday things like the cost of living are front of mind for most voters.

This Democrat despair brings to mind a conversation I had with a Republican at one Trump rally who said their candidate had completely "reimagined" the Republican party from its country club voter stereotype to appealing to working class families, while the Democrats had become the "party of Hollywood".

These are big generalisations, but ones Republicans publicly, and some Democrats privately, now share.

Edited for accuracy...
"party of Hollywood who attend Puff Daddy parties"

Since and just before Lizzy died it's become unbearable, so much for Charlie modernising the monarchy.

Did everything she could imo, came across likeable, good compassionate speeches, full of energy, very few gaffes and beat Trump hands down in the election debate , hence he refused a second debate.

Only problem is she’s a women, she’s black and she didn’t have the weight of Musk and social media behind her.
