US Politics Thread

[The Future’s Blue!]

A sobering reminder about our politics

Understanding politics is all about seeing who is backing who. Those who have the money are always in control.

Easily solved with donation limits. The amount spent in US elections is horrific.

I thought about posting this in the trump thread but this belongs here..

There is so much stupid in this Vance podcast I don't even know where to start..

Apparently paying people for a job is now "neo-liberalism"



I guess we should all work for nothing with complementary free abuse because that's the right wing way!!!

Trump isn’t gonna lose an iota of support. Harris doesn’t need to convert any of his supporters. She just needs to get normal, rational people to show up to the polls. Then she wins. Simples.

Harris now 8/11 she was 4/5 for last couple weeks. Good sign.

He’s got nowhere to move really. Seems to me his strategy is all around turnout for his existing base. He’s not convincing any floating voters.

One thing that does worry me, and I’d love to hear some insight from Americans who know more about the system than I do, is could some Trump friendly electoral college electors just refuse to vote for Harris in the electoral college, even if she wins that state? Say in Pennsylvania.

Nice. Especially nice given how dead and buried the Democrats looked a month ago. Hopefully this trend continues and the orange ball of pus fucks off to Florida to melt.
