the republicants know that when turnout is high, they lose. society and reality lean to the left. that’s why they do all the registration and voter suppression and put up as many obstacles as they can to access the ballot box.
there will need to be historic and unprecedented voter participation in every state and in every district to make up for all that right-wing maga bullshit that tries to keep people from being able to vote.
I honestly thought he was going to lose by an embarrassing landslide last time. I wasn’t just hoping, I was convinced from here in Australia. Heck I even put $100 on Kamala, first time in my life betting on politics.
I bet $50 on her for my own peace of mind, but I knew I’d lose it. She was a late stage afterthought to stem the hemorrhaging created by Biden being a senile entitlement president. We have to get the notion that NOBODY is owed the presidency in this country. It’s either earned or stolen.
Yes it was a bit of a calamity for sure. Sad she didn’t cut it. Even sadder is that too many people went with the orange clown. I can kinda understand why dumb people did, ( as in make that choice, I don’t agree of course ) but it’s just not right at all.
Y’know I was convinced that I would make money on that bet, I thought that the Aussie betting place must have been very badly informed or something when I saw the odds.
Same from here in South Africa. Reddit had me fooled that we were about to finally enter a period where this fucking orange painted clown isn’t stinking up the news with his shit filled diaper on a daily basis, after like 10 long years of it.
I was expecting the inbred hillbillies to still vote for Trump but I didn’t realise how many closeted inbred hillbillies there were in the USA.
Evidently a lot of idiots. Sadly I have friends over here that think he’s great. They know to not talk about it to me, and really what’s the point. They see a few minutes a week of him " saying it how it is" and “getting things done”.
I don’t bother arguing with rump supporters, it’s a waste of time.
On another note, I have travelled through your country a little bit back in 1998. Bloody beautiful scenery. Jo Burg was a bit scary.
1998, I was 12 years old lol. The '90s were peak South Africa from my perspective. When we were all still high on Mandela, before Jacob Zuma came along and killed every last bit of hope for the future. That beautiful scenery unfortunately usually only gets seen by tourists because the rest of us are too busy trying to put food on the table.
All I’ve seen of Australia was the inside of an airport on my way to New Zealand lol.
Also in Australia. It blew my mind. Seriously. I think it broke me a little bit to realise how monumentally fucking STUPID people en masse are. I mean, I kinda suspected it all along, but I was clearly unable to even imagine the actual scale of it.
I was all in on the Harris train as well. It was actually the betting odds on election night seeing the odds were in a slight favor for Trump that made me think otherwise.
Nah kamala is just super unlikable, dems shot themselves in the foot again. Instead of having an electing where dems could pick their fav candidate the dem establishment picked one of the most unpopular ones. But anyone will a brain cell can see kamala is the better choice over trump but still, americans lack commons sense
If they would’ve continued with Biden they would’ve shot themselves in both feet, maybe their arms as well. Think Kamala was considered a much bigger threat as well. We’ll never know what would’ve happened if there was an internal election for candidacy, could create a rally behind the flag effect but also a lot of throwing mud against your ally causing part of the Dems not to vote in the election at all.
Like how much have the right yelled about elections being rigged and unfair and corrupt and so on? They’re obviously setting up the rhetoric to take control and ‘fix’ the ‘problem’, because ‘obviously’ everyone supports trump (or else…)
What makes you think so? Your government is actively fascist and I’m not hearing of anything resembling effective resistance three months into this shit. At this rate they will shut down or irreparably rig elections likely before the midterms and definitely before the general.
Agree, no way they will just cancel elections. They will just fix them and lie about it like Putin and Lukashenko do, or if they can’t they’ll at least try like Orbán and Vučić.
Cute. He thinks there will be an election.
there will be.

Strange times indeed.

DOH !!!
Never don’t misunderestimate the dumbity of Uhmerika.

The rest of the world doesn’t see their propaganda on TV and online, easy to underestimate how many people they have brainwashed.

The election was stolen. Here’s proof. https://www.gregpalast.com/trump-lost-vote-suppression-won/

Yeah I agree biden was worse then kamala, but they needed to elect a candidate the democrat way not just pick their own corporate dem
Never bet against Ussa stupidity.
Trump will just sign an EO claiming that the nation is in crisis and fair elections are therefore not possible.
Like how much have the right yelled about elections being rigged and unfair and corrupt and so on? They’re obviously setting up the rhetoric to take control and ‘fix’ the ‘problem’, because ‘obviously’ everyone supports trump (or else…)
There’s no way Trump didn’t cheat, even if he didn’t need to. Cheating is in his bones.
It was the most honest thing he said too. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-quote-rigged-election-president/

Because generally, modern authoritarian regimes hold faux elections. So there will be elections. They’ll just likely be rigged.
Agree, no way they will just cancel elections. They will just fix them and lie about it like Putin and Lukashenko do, or if they can’t they’ll at least try like Orbán and Vučić.
Of course there will. It’ll just be illegal to vote for anyone except Trump.
Yeah and you can buy a hat to show your support for the regime

The shirt is even worse.
Kash Patel will simply fabricate cases against any potentially electable candidates and prosecute them into oblivion.
Even Russia has elections.
