US Presidential Election, Nov 5th 2024

Negative I'd imagine, pretty big one, don't even want to check my ISA.

I hope for your sake you don't trade the markets.

Who knows what Trump will do, but he definitely won't fulfil that promise, simply because it's impossible.

It’s that old impractical/impracticable chestnut. I’m not dismissing anything this time.

Will be our turn next , look at the hatred and rhetoric thrown at Starmer and Labour right from day 1, no one gives a fuck about the economy and any sensible policies they bring in - it’s all soundbites and anti immigration/‘woke’ - Labour will be out no matter how they perform and we’ll go the same way as America. Farage will be warming up. Very very depressing but I have lost all faith.

Easier to hate than love. If you haven't got, it's easier to blame than self-reflect.

Nobody will give a tool maker’s son a fair break these days, sadly.

Kicking out immigrants that the whole America was built on, ffs you couldn't make it up.

Same over here, kick out the foreigners, the same ones who look after our sick and clean up after the lazy white homegrown Brits can't be arsed to work.

Evidence yet again that democracy is a great system…but only in the hands of a well educated population.

Democracy is much wider than a voting system.

It also requires civic society - a shared set of values that are respected by the people within it. An information system that is pluralistic and respects facts. An independent judiciary.

No democracy is perfect, least of all in the UK.

But of these have already been stretched to breaking point in the US, and it seems very likely a further, more systematic attack on democracy in the wider sense is coming.

It sort of reminds me of before WW2, how they wouldn’t get involved in outside wars etc, until they got attacked, the short sightedness of this will happen with Ukraine and possibly Taiwan. By then it will be too late, China will overtake them and they already have fingers in Africa etc.

Expect to hear more of that embarrassing "I'm Tommy Morrison" chants lol

Just wait, the fact Trump's plans were deemed economically more viable to the American people is a farce itself.

I don't think that's true, Starmer will still be in charge in 5 years, as long as he grows the economy. That's his challenge.
