[Politics] The 2024 US Election - *MATCH DAY*

[Pevenseagull]

Trump quack, advisor, supporter. Got off Trumps aircraft with him prior to debate.

Marjorie Taylor Greene thinks Laura Loomer is 'mentally unstable', 'toxic and poisonous'.

Holy smokes!!!

Have you ever reported posts on Facebook? Nothing is suspended even the spammers.

You are right. I've reported spam, racist and offensive posts on fb before. Nothing ever happens. Most recently there were loads of highly offensive and imflammatory anti immigrants posts during the riots. Reported them. After a couple of days get a notification that nothing done. Waste of time. Looks like they allow anything

Please explain how/why on earth you continue to defend this absolute disgrace of a man

If he won that debate, I hate to think what losing would be like...

I think Dingo is busy, so allow me to reply on his behalf:
"Your far left scum. ABC News should have it's license removed as the debate wasn't fair. Trump won the debate so he doesn't need to win it again. She lost so she needs another but the polls say he won."

 

[Triggaaar]

He won the debate in the same way he won the last election.

Sometimes he admits he lost the last election, but then later he pretends that was just sarcasm.

It's both sad and scary.

I remember how nice it was not hearing his ridiculous voice every day after Biden won.

Hearing more of him again now is just another reason to hope Harris wins - I don't know if I can stomach four years of having to hear whatever lunacy that tosspot has said on the news every day

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Harris was right, he's so BORING. Same old shit, time and time and time again

Mind you, I never believe a word he says, so it's more than likely there WILL be another debate and this latest word vomit is just another attempt to keep him in the news, but in a way that tries to get people to forget about his debate performance.

Trump insists he won't do a third debate because he won the last one.

He was singed up to that second debate before Sleepy Joe stepped aside.

Yesterday he said only losers want a rematch.

This must mean he thinks he lost the first debate he had with Biden.

Crikey.

Looking forward to a Trump apologist popping along to explain the logic of his latest utterances (that doesn't require invoking some precedent set by Eric Cartman).

I just heard Trump saying that debates are losers in an Eric Cartman voice then.

Entitlement is one issue.

Also.....having visited a lot and lived nearby (Canada) it has always struck me that it is incredibly easy to slip into an extremely monotonic monoculture existence in America, outside the cosmopolitan cities, where conforming to the local norm, and its diet of 'mom', god, apple pie, flag-shagging and fear of 'difference' is reinforced daily by local TV and radio, breathtakingly bland print news and, these days clearly, by the sewer of algorithm-driven internet content.

For many it isn't about whether to vote for Trump. That's already a given. The only question is how bad and wrong it would be if the 'other' were to win. Very bad and very wrong, one imagines. So bad it cannot be true, so it must be a steal.

America is insanely big. The land mass of England is 50,310 sq miiles. The land mass of the US is 3,532,316 sq miles. I can do the math.....wait.....nearly there.....that is 70 times as big. You can fit 70 Englands into the US.

If you look at population, 55.9 million in England, 333.3 million in the US, that's a population ration of 5.9. That means the population density of the US is less than one tenth that of the UK.

A large population in a massive country....easy for individuals to disappear from 'mainstream' life and thinking, and from history itself, finding comon ground with other locals, the neighbours, in a people silo. And with thousands of examples of this all over the country.

Imagine thousand's of Middlesboroughs, Knowsleys, Burnleys, Blackpools, Jaywicks..... but worse, hundreds of miles apart, left to invent their own local lifestyle, led only by the descendants and disciples of primitive versions of Christianity (mixed with frontiersman-style carpetbagging 'upgrades' - the televangelists), the versions of Christianity that were often seen as pernicious by mainstream Europe, leading to the flight from persecution: the Mormons, the Millerites, the 7th day adventists and suchlike. f*** me, what a mess, and what an almost impossible world to reject and escape from if you live there and were brought up there.

We, the 'liberal elite' of NSC would seem very strange and frightening to rural America, and the cities where the populations have been largely local for several hundred years.

I hadn't considered the modern day implications of the religious beliefs of those early settlers. Very good point.

I'm more of a sit on the fence centrist, thanks

And now social media has landed in rural America’s backyard and the world has got very large (and scary) in the window. And, they don’t know how to react to it.

I watched some of Trump’s rally last night. He is a one trick pony and clearly deranged. I just hope that the curtain is starting to slip and reveal the ‘wizard’ pulling the strings. It’s those swing voters Harris needs to target. Let Trump wander through his heartlands for now, but the second she wins (if she wins) Democrats have to find a way of building bridges with these communities.

You either support Trump or you're far left scum. There is no fence.

They could do with building the odd school too
