US Presidential Election, Nov 5th 2024

Blah, blah, fucking, blah.(Keir)

Straight out of the Prime Minister text book.

Keir Starmer has become the next world leader to congratulate Donald Trump on what he calls a "historic election victory".

"I look forward to working with you in the years ahead," the UK's prime minister says, adding:(I bet you don’t, you lying, two faced, tw@t!)

“As the closest of allies, we stand shoulder to shoulder in defence of our shared values of freedom, democracy and enterprise.

“From growth and security to innovation and tech, I know that the UK-US special relationship will continue to prosper on both sides of the Atlantic for years to come.”

What choice does he have ? Not work with America and turn our backs on them?

Fuck me. Did he really say that?

China may be going well now but they're fucked when they get the bill to pay all of Trumps tariffs.

How will that be accomplished? Importers pay tariffs.

My view is what it has always been. The culture war stuff is a red herring and people vote with their wallets.

If you feel poorer than you did four years ago, you vote out the current government. Whether it's their fault or not it doesn't really matter, it's just how it works.

The post-covid inflation bubble has killed the Democrats' campaign, not all the 'woke vs anti woke' stuff. That's all just noise IMO. Same in this country. Look at when there are big changes in government, it's always the economy, stupid.

And that's an area where Harris and Biden consistently polled far behind Trump. Game over. I said it years ago.

Very little discussion here about how poor a candidate Harris was.

Always thought she would lose, personally.

Well you just get shouted down and called a 'fucking idiot' by Bluemoon's own resident bully and ridiculed by the educated experts on here if you have a different opinion to them. It's a reason I stayed away for '4 years' or so.

It’s called behaving like an adult and statesmen.

Sometimes you have to work with people who you don’t particularly like or respect for the greater good.

The Labour government and Starmer in particular will have to swallow their pride and try and get the best outcome possible for the UK without compromising our own beliefs and being potentially tainted by association.

It’s a very challenging position.

You should have a think about changing your username, mate.

 

[TonyM]

I thought she came across very well. It just seems that the USA is more brainwashed than her supporters hoped.

 

[Combat Carl]

Stop making excuse for Kamala, she is poor candidate and there far more capable candidate than her from Democrat party

If only Biden not fucking everything up and running for second term, none of this will happen.

Liberalism has been rejected again. Biden won 2020 because of COVID. Give the people a proper left wing option. The left are who'll crush fascism.

Keir Starmer has no choice but to work with Herr Trump.
