Political Nonsense

Wow, this race is strong shades of 2020, except that (if I have this correct), this is the first time that the Rep candidate will win the general election since Bush Sr thumped the hell out of Dukakis in 1988!

What's similar to 2020 is that the race ran late in to the night, with the Dem candidate nibbling away ground.

But it seems, as of the moment, that the Rep candidate only needs 23 electoral votes to win, and the Dem candidate needs to pull off 56 electoral ballots amongst eight undecided states, which seems like quite the longshot to me. Pennsylvania for example gives a whopping 19 electoral votes, and with 94% of the state reporting so far, Harris needs to catch up over 200,000 state votes in order to win that one. Seems unlikely.

The mail-in votes basically saved the Dems, last time around, but I don't know if you can necessarily count on them this time.

So I fully expect that in the next few hours, or when I wake up tomorrow, the right-wingers will have captured the bag. My congratulations will be delivered at such time, with a couple notes...

The Republicans just snagged Pennsylvania, and are now at 267 electoral votes!!

Dems would need to win all remaining undecided states, i.e. AK, AZ, NV, MN, WI, MI and ME.

Five of them are already leaning right, and I just don't see that happening.
 
Welp..... What can I say, but congrats to the RIGHT!
This was as thoroughly thumping a victory I can remember since... maybe the Reagan years?

Trump has officially recaptured the belt, and in terms of the senate, the dems have already lost three seats, with the currently six undecided seats looking like a split, i.e. AZ, WI & MI leaning left, and NV, PA & ME leaning right. In the house, it's been roughly a wash.

So now we have the far-right owning the presidency, both houses, and the supreme court.

Alright then, we're all clear for PROJECT 2025.
Cool!

Harris was the worst Democrat candidate (check the results figures) they have had as a candidate for MANY years.
Even i thought it might have been a lot closer.

Far right LOL, thankfully there is no REAL far right party in main govt in the West.
I find here in the UK some will say anyone is far right if they dont hug the left, utter bs.

Many people from lots of different ethnic backgrounds voted Trump in 2024, if he was REAL far right , that would not have happened.
Kamala will look very nice in a McDonalds uniform, i am sure.

Now we just need the UK to get back to reality in 4 or 5 years.
I cant wait for our Starmer and Lammy who slagged Trump off to the hilt before they got in govt, to meet him, it will be priceless viewing.

Harris was not the problem. Biden should have quit at the start of the year, not once the election was on. This would have given the people time to know where she stood on issues.
The Democratic party also needs to get back to issues that concern the average voter. Palestine, trans rights, reparations, global warming, come after the cost of a loaf of bread and petrol prices in the minds of most people

She was still the candidate and the people decided not to vote her for president, a losing side will always find excuses as to why they lost. Happens everywhere.
The people had decided imo to oust the democrats within a year of Biden taking office.
If anyone wishes to knock my view feel free, i wont bite this time , democracy has been served.

The fact Trump won shows what concerned the average voter of ALL ethnic backgrounds, the democrats in the White House.
It wasnt even a close thing, thats whats amazing, even to me.

Shame our voters in the UK were so gulllible.

Narcissism.

Symptoms

Have an unreasonably high sense of self-importance and require constant, excessive admiration.

Feel that they deserve privileges and special treatment.

Expect to be recognized as superior even without achievements.

Make achievements and talents seem bigger than they are.

It's merely a clarification of the definition of the word, not directed at any individual and not a word that I would diagnose anyone with because I am not a qualified psychologist.
 
14,521,284 more people voted in 2020 during Covid than 2024 in the USA, and yet the population would have increased, hmmmmm.
Also democracy is always that, even if its the result you dont want.
 
2016-2020 was the first time for MANY years where the USA/UK wasnt involved in a war.
