US Presidential Election, Nov 5th 2024

[SWP's back]

I just don't ridicule people for what they say are their personal experiences.

I still can't get my head around why just less than 50% of the voting public will choose Trump. It makes no sense to me but, yes, I am willing to listen because it's going to happen and understanding it will help explain what happens in the next four years.

It would be easier if they just said “he says the racist stuff I think and I feel empowered” rather than making up shite like their lives are harder because of Democrats.

Beginning stages of dementia is like describing the Quarter Finals of the FA Cup as an early round.

You reckon he's further on?

Surely this is the way forward trying to understand both sides rather than going immediately on the offences and insulting someone purely because they hold an opposing view. America continues to be more and more polarised and yet you constantly see people getting into arguments and fights rather than discussing the topic like adults.

Speaking as someone who has always been good at viewing the qualities of those I disagree with politically (Thatcher, Benn, Reagan and even Farage) the issue with Trump is that he has no identifiable redeeming characteristics whatsoever, which informs my incredulity as to how anyone could view him positively.

For me, it’s not about his politics, but rather his manifest unsuitability to hold public office in numerous ways.

I am genuinely baffled, give all he says and does, how any reasoned, rational person cannot see this.

There are spice heads in Piccadilly Gardens who are more suited to running a country than Donald Trump.

On that basis it is impossibly difficult for me to understand their state of mind or reasoning, as much as I genuinely try to.

It’s akin to having a conversation with someone who says they don’t rate KDB. It simply doesn’t compute and, frankly, isn’t worth the time and emotional energy.

Never heard of that tbh bud.
Is it a show, a channel, a podcast?

They describe themselves as covering the junction of the law and politics. It was founded by Ben Meiselas, a lawyer. In just four years or so it has amassed 3.5 million registered followers. It’s a bit technical but very good. They have attacked Trump mercilessly in the last year. They follow all his court cases meticulously. Well worth a watch. Google Meidas Touch Network.
I watch it via utube videos and live streams on important events.

You reckon he's further on?

Yes. Significantly, but not overwhelmingly. It will get considerably worse over the next four years, of that I’m sure.

Surely this is the way forward trying to understand both sides rather then going immediately on the offensive and insulting someone purely because they hold an opposing view. America continues to be more and more polarised and yet you constantly see people getting into arguments and fights rather then discussing the topic like adults.

That would be true if one side wasn’t supporting a 6 times bankrupt billionaire, 34x times convicted, 103 times indicted, adjudicated rapist who brags about grabbing women by the pussy and who was best mates with Epstein for ten years (Epstein’s own words).

I have no interest in whatever written arsewater someone wants to come up with to justify supporting the above. They’re quite obviously cunts who I wouldn’t piss on to put out if they were on fire and tomorrow it will all be moot anyway once Trump loses and no longer has the power of running for office to stop his many convictions ending with him in prison.

I agree with what your saying about people despising Trump and I by no means think he is a good person, but surely when half of America have wanted him in for the last two elections the answer isn't to just ignore these people or personally attack them. I appreciate what I'm saying is easier said then done but if everyone was a little more open to hearing the opinion of the other side there would be far less tension not only in America but over here as well.
