US Presidential Election, Nov 5th 2024

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.
Is it? Throughout its history, it’s been rare for the country to be politically united, save for when faced with an external threat, so this year is little different from elections in the last two centuries, though the party faithful and media ballyhoo might have you believe otherwise.
 
Hope Trump wipes the floor with them, i say them as its clear that shithouse Obama is still running the show, everybody is entitled to their opinion and I really want Trump to win , I refuse to be influenced by the media and do my own research and have visited the States regularly and have done under Reagan, Bush, Clinton, GW Bush, Obama, Trump & Biden and having spoken to a lot of Americans they say things have never been as bad as it currently is and all the negativity and hatred being currently spoken is coming from the Democrats

Why is it, when someone says "everybody is entitled to their opinion", its usually followed by some rambling nonsense?

Keep up the good work fella.
 
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.
I think there are wider issues about the divisions in society (both here and in the US) that are being fuelled by social media, the decline of western hegemony and a significant uptick in mental health issues.

And yes, we need to try and understand each other better and try and find more common ground. As a centrist, that has always been my base political instinct - but there have to be limits to that approach and that is how I feel about Trump, who is utterly malign and poisonous.
 
No. You do write like a 13 year old texting on a Nokia 3210 who believed they were required to include their IQ score in their username and so far you haven’t managed a cogent point in your one week of posting on this thread.
Zzzzzz , are you the grammar police or what? Seriously, you're acting like a total kid. The second someone posts something you don't like, you shut them down with no hesitation. Grow up ffs. You're on here 24/7, policing every thread like some kind of dictator. Let people post what they want without you jumping down their throats every time.

Stop acting like you're on a constant power trip u dickhead

It doesn't really matter what people say or do on a football forum, in all honesty, but it does matter what the democrats make out of the reasons a near majority of voters keep voting for Trump. Hopefully they have some better approach than I'm not listening because they are all idiots.

Personally, I'm not so sure there is much Harris, for example, could do in four years.

It’s so frustrating to read posts like this. Gee, chief, it’s been nine years since Trump walked down the escalator. You think folks haven’t tried to talk and reason and understand the other side in all that time? What the fuck is there left to discuss? Trumpism is a cult. Ever try to talk about atheism with a Jehovah’s Witness? Families and friendships have been irrevocably destroyed here. Maybe a little understanding on your part as opposed to criticism, eh?

Correct. It’s a cult. Nothing more nothing less. As we have seen in history people are easily drawn into cults.
