US Presidential Election, Nov 5th 2024

[Dax777]

I've seen this repeated a lot today. It's simply not true.

What do you think the problem was?

Wonder what Harris will say when she speaks? She will concede but surely can't congratulate a man she despises. Maybe she will make a plea that once back in power he will be generous not vindictive and bring a bit of decency to governing the country. (Then she can ask him to repent his sins and declare his taxes too.)

 

[Dax777]

An expected but none the less awful result for common decency. Maybe Biden should use those wide ranging powers bestowed on him by the SCOTUS to put the criminal Trump where he should be, in prison.

Yeah, that's the thing. Scotus didn't give the President any far ranging powers.

That said, it's funny that the very people who were whaling about the excessive power of the Presidency are now clamouring for Biden to use those exact powers.

Interesting!

For all the 'BuT GeNoCiDe' folks out there.

What should he have said? Fuck Donald Trump?

Will the republicans have control of all 3 branches in January?

I've seen this repeated a lot today. It's simply not true.

We had three threads on here that were all just basically outpourings of hate/rage/ fear about trump and anyone questioning Kamala's suitability, popularity or likelihood of winning was pretty much abused. Mostly by the characters that have now largely slunk off after weeks throwing their treasured opinions around like facts.

Kamala Harris's voice really reminds me of someone from a movie or TV show. Does anyone know who it is? Not Lois Griffin.

Was a shock to see his margin of victory this morning. So many (myself included) read the situation completely wrongly. Surely a convicted felon, civilly liable rapist, serial liar and degenerate snail oil salesman couldn't win again? But he absolutely pissed it. Even pissed the popular vote. When did a republican last do that?

The Iowa poll was miles off. That guy who always predicts the winner was miles off. All the polls were miles off. Good luck to everyone but there's no denying the American people (as a majority) have the president they wanted.

More likely than not. They are definitely taking the Senate. Democrats might regain the house. But it's unlikely.

Wanted and fucking deserve.

True. "Michelle" was a forlorn comment. But at least she wouldn't have had the weight of being Biden's VP round her neck. And she IS a far better speaker.

Trump would beat her aswell. One round of rallies and the whole Internet is calling her big Mike. They needed a sharp, intelligent charismatic young MALE to go up against him. The American population has proven twice they will elect literally the most unsuitable candidate possible over a woman.

Aaaannnd, it's out...

CNN
Harris Campaign: Biden will hold a lot of blame for this loss...

 

[moomba]

What do you think the problem was?

Economy. Israel. Biden all had an impact.

She was battling against someone that slagged her off daily and people believed a lot of what he said.

No, not slinking.

Trump's still a ****.
(in my opinion, of course.)

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

The democrats problem started with Biden deciding to run again and the total shambles that followed with no other option than Harris to stand at such short notice

Swearing blind the obviously and clearly incapacitated Biden was all there was a massive error aswell. They tried to take the public for idiots, anyone could see the guy was completely gone for years every time he appeared in public it was a fucking horror show. Harris never polled well with the public. They had 4 years to do something other than what they ended up doing.

Ah well, glad I don't live there anyway. At least the memes will be good.

What do you think the problem was?

I think it’s a few things -
1) The country is further right than many of us would like it to be and those people are voting on emotion not specific policy
2) The radicalization of young white men
3) Social media’s (and media in general) sowing of discontent and misery and Dem’s inability to understand or control it

And most importantly -
4) an electorate that is unhappy with the incumbent

Good luck to everyone but there's no denying the American people (as a majority) have the president they wanted.

But not who Bluemoon wanted... won't somebody think of the children people of bluemoon.

Aaaannnd, it's out...

I can't disagree with a single word he says there.
