[Politics] The 2024 US Election - Trump v Harris

[rogersix]

Surely that's an extreme interpretation? Saying "I want the best for my family" is not the same as saying "I want the best for my family and don't care about the rest of the world".

You're right that "right of centre" people do tend to prioritise the welfare of their won family above that of strangers. But sure;y that's true of "left of centre" people as well.

left of centre people are aware of the benefit they, themselves receive in a more meritocratic society, a bit like patriotism, if you will

 

[Klaas]

You think of the Democratic Party as centrists, while I see them leaning far left (which they are).

So nerrrrr! Hilarious.

Far left?

Absolutely bonkers Trumpian rhetoric.

Please show me the Democrats policies on banning private property. Nationalising all industry. Banning religion. Etc.

Actually don’t.

Watch this.



Your man Trump praising Tim Waltz. The same Tim Waltz who is about to send your main man’s political career into oblivion.

 

[Triggaaar]

That's hilarious. Trump praising Walz, and now that Walz is on the ticket, Trump will act as though he's a Socialist nutter.

 

[Bozza]

Just went onto Oddschecker to see the current odds.

When I looked last, Trump was still about 1/2 on, which equates to a 66% probability of winning.

Now, Trump and Harris are both around evens, which is wonderful to see.

 

[lasvegan]

Wacko Waltz or Terrible Tim?

Never cease to be amazed at a 78 year old guy calling people the type of silly names that the rest of us left behind when leaving primary school.

Tampon Tim will work. Silly names on here never left primary school.

That's hilarious. Trump praising Walz, and now that Walz is on the ticket, Trump will act as though he's a Socialist nutter.

He also while not blaming Walz did find a way to blame the mayor of Minneapolis. Trump has to find someone to throw rubbish at. Trump, the great divider!!!

Harris has actually gone odds-on on Bettair exchange over the last 24 hours.

Very little in it but significant that Trump has gone odds-against for first time since it became clear he’d be Republican nominee.

I'd want to look at the small print of that bet though, as there is a nightmarish bit not unrealistic option of Trump losing the electoral college, but declaring the win and the stuffed supreme court spuriously finding his way in all the state challenges. Who would the bookies pay to?

Here you go:

'This market will be settled according to the candidate that has the most projected Electoral College votes won at the 2024 presidential election. In the event that no Presidential candidate receives a majority of the projected Electoral College votes, this market will be settled on the person chosen as President in accordance with the procedures set out by the Twelfth Amendment to the United States Constitution'

That’s because she is now dancing to the Waltz.

So if Trump loses and has a successful coup, the bookies still pay out on Harris. Nice

DNC have already had a coup to install Harris unelected in primaries, maybe have another one at the DNC Congress this month. Although I read an argument that the polls were rigged by adjusting the sampling to convince other Dems that Harris was is the real deal as she has been unpopular in the past.

Yes that is a conspiracy theory but they quite often turn out to be correct these days.

I see this was answered

Rabbit-hole-tastic !

Rabbit-hole-tastic !

I didn't say I believe it I just posted the possibility, the coup that is. the rest is true.

I came on NSC today to have a bit of a debate about the value of sending Facu on loan to a team in the same league, and have instead found out that in the US, "the polls were rigged by adjusting the sampling to convince other Dems that Harris was is [sic] the real deal".

Mental and frankly one of the most boring conspiracy theories I've seen. Quite obvious from a neutral perspective that Harris was best placed to lead the party into the current election and that once Biden stepped back there was no real alternative.

Harris now odds on, Trump odds against

 

[rippleman]

Harris now odds on, Trump odds against

The best thing the Democrats ever did was getting shot of Biden. At least Harris has a chance of defeating Trump; Biden was not even close.

Biden was on the radio this morning mumbling about something or other and I found myself thinking "FFS shut up and let Kamala do the talking". Every time he speaks he is likely costing her votes.

Did you read that on Putin's browser?
