[Politics] The 2024 US Election - Trump v Harris

[Zeberdi]

They're Putin's boys.
Utterly

Exactly

It’s all about corruption, power and wealth scratching the back of corruption, power and wealth regardless of the foreign entities involved and people like Trump and Musk are the back room deal makers making it happen.

It often feels like the ‘little people’ are duped into believing that State borders and national security actually have any real value in today’s world.

What could, though?

He's made of Teflon.

Yep, nothing sticks and like Teflon he gives off toxic fumes when he overheats.

Musk has tremendous power with Starlink, say the Russians attacked European to USA subsea marine cables.

Its all feeling a bit Back to the Future II.

We're got a fight on at home and abroad and whatever happens Tuesday week it doesn't end there.

Unfortunately there'll probably be some people watching that thinking "I'd like my kids to be saying that (perhaps to contradict "fake news")?"

Seems to me that Musk is simply using Trump as a puppet to voice his own agenda.

Of course.
Also Vlad's agenda

Yep, having control of twitter allows him to pull a lot of strings, turning it into a ring wing propaganda machine

I have an account (just to view content) as its now no longer available unless you have an account. You only have to open Farage's page and your feed is flooded with similar shit from other dishonest actors, just so blatant.

A puppet to get Vance in as VP and then take over from an unfit Trump.

Patience. 1 possibly 2 things still incoming....allegedly

I just can't see it, I'm afraid.

There are tens of millions of people who will vote for Trump despite there being a lengthy list of outrages, any one of which should stop any right-minded person voting for him.

These people are so entrenched in their support for him, each additional outrage only seems to further strengthen their resolve.

I've lingered on this thread a while now as Im fascinated to see what happens in the build up to Nov 5, but I find it all so utterly depressing that we are still talking about that obnoxious oaf possibly getting his feet back under the desk at the WH. The world truly has gone mad.

A Trump supporter on ABC News FB page yesterday said that all Harris has is "name calling" against Trump (not seeing the irony at all that that is what he has done since his very first campaign), and that he is far more articulate than she is.

I despair & worry for America if he gets in again...a place I love, and call my 2nd home.

I'd be surprised if anything actually emerges. I also agree that there is NOTHING that will deter true MAGA voters from turning on Trump.

That said there are independents, and a new raft of newly registered Gen-Z voters who weren't eligible to vote last time.

Like most people I am finding the polls depressing reading, yet somehow I am not believing them. I think the early voting favours Harris, I do think women voters will play a big part in this election, and I do think traditional Republicans will turn on Trump.

I may well regret posting this but I believe Harris will win the popular vote by a larger margin than Biden. It's a toss up as to there those votes will be in the right places because of the ludicrous and anti-democratic electoral college system. My gut feeling is Harris prevails on Nov 5th.

Why I am not surprised you are sharing stuff produced by utter freaks on Twitter.

Have you noticed how edited that is? What's funny is that people on your side will go to great lengths to chop up videos to make her look ridiculous.

Trump does it live and you love it.

I agree with that in main. The cultists are brainwashed and beyond help, but you don't need them all en masse to switch votes.

It will come down to 7 to 10 swing states and maybe by small margins.

Just getting enough floating voters or independents in those states could be the difference.

IF..... said video appears.

A very interesting interview with Maggie Haberman, who probably knows a lot more about Trump than just about anyone else on the outside.

Edited heavily.

Typically silly post.
