US Presidential Election, Nov 5th 2024

In California? Was it you that had moved recently?

We bought a house in Oregon and are splitting time. All voted CA so we don’t have much impact on the EC but did some other things to help some other candidates as well.

My guess is that if Trump wins then once sworn in he is on borrowed time. I am sure Vance spurred on by Musk who will be guided by Putin to invoke is it the 25th Amendment (?) declare him unfit for office and get Vance installed

Some guy with a Trump flag on his car shouted TRUMP BABY and gave me a thumbs up when I was driving around earlier. I'm white and I drive a pickup so I guess he figured I was on my way to vote for that idiot. Got some bad news for you buddy.

He wins either way.

Either you’re with him, or he pisses you off and he “owns” you.

Maybe they'll just let him trundle on for 4 years denying his obvious deterioration and let him run again before admitting a few months before the election he isn't fit and let the VP take over then. Sounds stupid doesn't it?

I find it interesting that there's not a single American woman posting here that we know about, and my guess is, very few if any young people. If Harris is to win, it's these two groups that will rise up.

As such, I am taking nearly all predictions from UK-based FOCs (no offense :)) with a heavy dose of salt.

So would I. I predicted we'd vote remain in the referendum as people simply weren't stupid enough to choose to leave.

So we're on a £195 Million market currently. You watch it explode when the Polls close. Be over £300 Million by tomorrow Morning at least.

Is that Betfair?

A poor race at Lingfield could have more bet on it, otherwise I'd be worried.

If there are any yank birds in here, I demand photographic evidence

I posted a clip of 'The Campaign' earlier, which is a comedy spoof of US politics with Will Ferrell and Zach Galifinakis. It's ridiculous. But sadly, with Trump there are parts of that film that are staggering close to the truth. A Republican slogan in the film is "America, Jesus, Freedom" and he's asked what it means, to which he answers "I don't know but the people sure love it".

The bible means a lot to certain demographics in America. The right to shoot people means a lot to pretty much that same demographic. None of it really makes sense but you just have to be a Republican and say Republican things and they'll vote for you.

This is one of my favourite comedy scenes in a film.

I thought that was just the American equivalent of us tipping our top hats and saying “good day my fellow” in the post office queue.
