US Politics Thread

[Blue and true]

A lot of people will be showing their ass over the next several months.

They already are. Literally anybody who is compos mentis is a better option to run the US than Trump.

I honestly don't get the hype about Harris. I've seen a few of her speeches and she comes across as someone not really in tune with what she is trying to get across.. Certainly not "Presidential" anyway.

Is it too late to have someone else to run?

She'd be a great asset as a supreme court judge.

Complete bollocks. He resigned because his faculties have clearly deteriorated over the last year and those around him will have advised him well. Has fuck all to do with Trump.

I can’t believe this needs to be spelled out….

That’s not really true, the polling is mixed (not to mention that it’s well understood that hypothetical polling on “possible candidates” is notoriously inaccurate).

YouGov and Ipsos have her closing the margin by a couple of points versus Biden which, if true, would make it really close.

Other polls have her basically polling about the same. There are some polls that have her doing worse but from lower rated pollsters and these are generally outliers.

Exactly.

Was this a sop to getting him to agree to withdraw?

Quite possibly.

He instructed her to speak to his donors earlier this week. It could all have been pre planned with the big hitters ringing up everyone to unite behind her.

STOP TRUMP BY ANY MEANS.

I know, right. Who wants a level-headed, erudite stateswoman running the free world when you could have a demented insurrectionist hell bent on turning the country into an ultra-nationalist dictatorship.

Behave, i never said any of that.
I'd rather her than Trump obviously but she won't win.
Not only is she a women, she's got the wrong colour skin in the US, she hasn't got a chance.

Some just like to conform to this myth that Trump is some sort of democratic saviour. No doubt the orange slug would ungraciously take credit for rising NRA membership numbers following the botched attempt on his life.

Trump

Fuck me

Of course, just wish the Democrats had better than Harris

Josh Shapiro short priced favorite to be VP.
