He hasn't even lost yet but already banging on about being cheated. Horrendous despicable old clown. But he's funny apparently. If anyone says he's funny it's a red flag. Stay away from them.

Said on TV tonight 50% of the people 18-29 in the US don't vote.
All in all 2/3 of all people there vote.
Pretty low then.
If you don't vote,
don't complain afterwards.

[ I thought this was a good, interesting post until I reached 'highly qualified candidate' (sorry! š) Would you describe Tulsi Gabbard as not subscribed to reality or indoctrinated? Can you admit that there are some very smart, sensible people who would vote differently to you? People which aren't necessarily part of the personality cult which I acknowledge is a thing and is weird and bad, but for a number of other reasons? I was mostly referring to the regular Joe's. But I guess your point would suggest there's also a third category of people who think he's a better choice than Harris and that's people who know how unfit and dangerous he is and dgaf about it because of money/power or the fact he will further their extreme agendas that they'd never get moved on with any other normal politician that actually cared about the country. Gabbard is one of those people, smart sure but she's in it for the grift. There's a reason why all the other smart GOP politicians have nothing to do with Trump anymore and why MAGA is now just a rag tag group of extreme nutters who will do and say anything Trump asks of them. And yes, she's clearly highly qualified. She was was a DA for 7 years, a Senator for 4 years and then Attorney General for another 6 - both in the biggest state in the US (California) and then she's just literally been Vice President (second in command) for 4 years. She couldn't be more qualified. If you think she's not then I don't know what to tell you |

There's conservatives who've worked in the republican party all their lives who feel so disenfranchised by all this they've walked away. It says a lot about where this could be heading. But mostly it speaks volumes about their candidate. |

Riding Willie Brown up the California political ladder, an awful run in the presidential primary, DEI pick by Biden and then terribly unpopular VP. I must be imagining her campaign hiding her away as much as possible. Media companies are also definitely not cutting up her footage to prevent her sounding clueless. It would be a bittersweet victory for women and feminism if she gets in. Textbook example of failing upwards and every serious person of the left knows it and is just pretending otherwise because they want to win |

Slightly off topic of the polling, but Iāve come across quite a lot of social media posts, indicating a focus on abortion rights from Harris if she gets in. Now Iām admittedly not totally clued up on the specifics but I thought that when Roe V Wade got overturned the Supreme Court gave the decision making to the states - so what exactly is a Harris government going to do here? That the Biden government hasnāt had the chance to do already? Iām assuming there is no power to make any changes here so I donāt know how it can be a topic on the table?

Roe Wade apparently wasn't a very strong precedent just legally speaking. Maybe she'll try to introduce something federal. It seems weird that you can't get any abortions in some states and in others you can do it late term for no reason. Both those situations seem wrong to me |

The relationship with Willie Brown was in 1994, nine years before she became DA. And sure being a person of colour and a woman helped her get the VP slot - because President's ALWAYS pick VPs who will help them with specific voting blocs, thats just how it's done. Trump chose Pence, an old white christian man specifically to shore up the evangelicals and Obama chose Biden because he was an old and respected white dude that would court the moderate white senior vote. But I guarantee you've never once whined about those choices - I wonder why that is? The fact is she still got chosen over other women of colour because she was the most QUALIFIED. And now it's "DuH tHe MeDiA aRe CoVeRiNg HeR Up To MaKe HeR lOoK BeTtEr". So that's misogynism, racism and conspiracies all in one single post. See what I mean about being indoctrinated into the right wing bullshit. |

The only way they can codify it back into law is by eliminating the filibuster to lower the voting threshold in Congress. But they can only do that if they win both the House and the Senate (which doesn't look possible) and even then it would likely face legal challenges which would put it right back to the Supreme Court. The realistic hope is that you vote the Democrats to stop things actually getting worse - like Trump invoking the Comstock Act to enact a federal country wide abortion ban or even Trump clamping down on fertility treatments/contraception which is what The Heritage Foundation/Project 2025 want to do. |

Yeah as I understand it federal law and executive pressure can affect women's rights. Federal law could codify abortion rights, or the president could use executive actions to punish states that don't do what they want. Republicans want to strip people of their rights, Democrats want to protect them. It's up for voters to decide which they prefer. The whacky thing being if they pick republicans this time it's hard to see how voters will ever again be allowed to change their choice. Unlike if democracy wins. And if Republicans get power, how hard will they push? Some of them have been talking about banning women from travelling between states for healthcare, or things like household voting where men get to decide the vote. People will say it's scaremongering, but they said exactly the same thing about abortion. I was straight up told, repeatedly, that "republicans won't overthrow roe Vs wade, that's democrat lies and you're just scaremongering". Or that Trump wouldn't try to overthrow the election or cage children. Do I believe the confident people who were wrong about reality. Or do I watch what republicans say and do to work out what will happen? |

Did you maybe want to add serial killer to your long list of accusations? To respond to just one of your false claims...I literally watched the original footage of 60 minutes and the tv release which was heavily edited. Maybe I'm just haunted by the evil spirits of Tucker Carlson and Ben Shapiro and should check myself into some kind of institution to treat this terrible affliction! |

Tomorrowās going to be a very interesting day. When will the results be announced? I have a feeling that whoever wins thereāll be fireworks and claims of dirty tricks. It depends on how close it is. Here's a description. It's pretty likely the polls in key states will be off but we just don't know which way or how much. If Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan polls are off by say 5% either way then I think the results will be called Tuesday UK time. If it's as close as before in all the states then it could take days. If it's a Harris win but it's close, we won't know who will get in power until potentially January because the republicans have a strategy planned to commit a coup and install Trump anyway. If Trump wins then it's over. |
