US Politics Thread

Have heard almost 100 million people have voted already. Poll says 25% of black males voted for Trump. Black women, however, seem to be remaining loyal to the Democrats.

Evidence seems that turnout is lower amongst minorities. If Trump wins 15% of the black vote and turnout is projected to be lower than 2020 amongst minorities, Harris cannot win.

It’s a big if though…

Perhaps I wasn’t clear. If the data is correct that a certain demographics turnout is down, then it matters less if we look at turnout overall.

This is because the black vote is vitally import to the Dems model. Although black people are about 13% of the vote the Dems are relying on turnout and about 90% loyalty in key places like Atlanta, Detroit, Philadelphia, Milwaukee and sections of North Carolina that has a larger black populace…..

From where are you getting these statistics?

Not important, really, but you said your son had Swiss nationality. He can only have that, I thought, if one of the parents is Swiss. As far as I know, you aren't so I assumed it must be your wife. Not stalking, I'm interested because my first four were born in Switzerland but, at the time, they couldn't get Swiss nationality. If too personal, just ignore it.

The sense of humour thing is a French thing, that the Swiss have don't have one.

Ok. Yes, my partner is Swiss (from Basel), so my son has Swiss citizenship. Because he was born in the US, he also has US citizenship. Because he was born to me, he also has British and Spanish citizenship (though, the latter is still in process due to more red tape to attain when born outside of Spain). He is being taught English, German/Swiss-German, and Spanish at home.

No words.

See, to me, this is instantly disqualifying. It doesn't matter if the person was GOP, Democrat, Independent, Libertarian, Green, Purple, CTID Party, or my own parent or kid.

Meantime, to others here: "Hmmm, I don't know. What are his policies?"

Yeah. I posted something similar before, but basically these people fear and admire fascist bullies, and that's why they support Trump and his acolytes.

The rationale "oh but neither candidate is any good" yadayadayada and all the other bullshit is because they're ashamed and don't want to admit it.
