US Presidential Election, Nov 5th 2024

So, her position is now “void”?! It’s nonsense! Step down and then what? Who becomes Prez & VP? We just let them start before Jan 20??

It’s not like going to your desk with an empty box and being walked out by security, ffs!

Just trying to help you understand the point. Not passing judgement on it. Although it did sound a bit like bollocks to me.

I always try to be helpful.

I think the democrats kind of took for granted women and ethnic minority voters. It was almost as if they thought surely because we have a black woman they’ll vote for harris.

Seems like women and ethnic minority males didn’t turn out at all for them. I was reading a stat that said a third of ethnic minority voters voted for trump

Not only that, having the biggest donations and almost every traditional big media supporting them throughout elections. Yet they completely fucking that up.

The blame solely on the Democrats Party, no fucking excuses.

Is there provision within the constitution for states to secede from the union?
Can see places like California (plus the west coast states) and New York (plus the rest of New England) thinking fuck this after a year or two because it’s the large Dem states that will be paying for Trump’s shit show, and they might decide they’re better alone.

It also means there aren’t enough doctors trained to do the procedure, which can be a lifesaving measure even when there is not a pregnancy. Even in blue New England, there are plenty of doctors who won’t do the procedure (completely acceptable). I had an abortion for fetal anomalies that were incompatible with a “normal” life and it took several days to find a doctor who would do the procedure (my doctor did not due to her religious beliefs). This was at one of the best hospitals in the world in a very blue state.

It was too crass to simply hit “LIKE” as I wanted to thank you for sharing a personal story that can apparently not be understood without someone as brave as you giving a very personal testament to what is happening.

Even in places where abortion is still “legal” clinics close down because of threats, lack of funding, lawsuits and the threat of them, the inability to get insurance, etc, etc, etc…

Thank you for sharing your personal traumatic events to help illustrate the reality of the situation. My own daughter had a very close friend who died because of complications that no-one would treat for fear of losing the baby and being prosecuted for murder. She apparently didn’t meet the threshold of “life of the mother” until too late and died trying to give birth. Needless to say, she is beside herself at what men (and millions of religious women) have done to women in the last few years and especially the last 24 hours.

Won’t Biden stage an insurrection?

His people already tried to kill Trump, twice

The ethnic minority often live in areas with high crime rates. They care more "law and order".
I can tell you many Chinese immigrates vote Trump for this reason.

Didn’t trump do pretty decent in New York?

Along with many Hispanics and Muslims who are generally more conservative thinking due to strong religious beliefs

Wow i just heard he won. Nothing will change. The world keeps on turning.

Oh, things will change, and in very consequential ways, but yes, I doubt it will change gravity or the rotation of the planet within our solar system!

Just so people are aware. One third of US women live under an abortion ban. If a woman has a miscarriage and the healthcare she needs includes the removal of any foetal matter, that is classed as an abortion. If the woman is not treated because doctors fear for their licences she may die of a uterine bleed. Trump wants such women PUNISHED in these circumstances.
My daughter suffered a uterine bleed and lost 3.5 litres of blood. Happily she recovered but some don’t. My daughter in law suffered similarly. The surgeon said “We nearly lost her”.
These bans are cruel and inhuman.
