It feels like Trump will be president, given we're on a 50/50

A1) If Trumps wins, go to B
A2) Kamala wins, but Trump/GOP manage to create chaos/overturn result in 1 or 2 key states, go to B

B) Trump becomes president

Then he starts filleting the bones of democracy out of the US. Then it becomes on whether the military support him or not. I suspect they might not.

At some point Trump goes full Caligula and someone who knows they are on borrowed time maybe gives him a lead injection.

Sad for the US, glad I don't live there.

I don't know what's funnier: that they thought this was a good idea or that there are people in here praising this is as brilliant.

Just a huge self own.

In the UK, during the recent election the leader of the liberal party engaged in all kinds of publicity stunts like paddle boarding or bunjee jumping. It's dumb, but it does get cut through to some degree. They increased their seats from 15 to 72, so it's hard to argue it harmed their effort, and most likely helped it.

Calling Trump supporters garbage was the self-own - just an unbelievably dumb thing to say as it feeds the narrative that he has been so successful in capitalising on.

It's a self own only if you think Biden wants Harris to win which at this point isn't obvious anymore

He didn't actually do that, but I understand why people thought he did. It was an unfortunate stutter mid sentence but he was trying to say what they were saying is garbage.

Crazy how important bodily autonomy is to some people, huh dude?

and yet the Dems do nothing to protect it. weird.

It was neither brilliant nor a gaffe.

Well if Putin says it you know its true

And he said it on Twitter, so it's verified!

There’s no evidence for this. The Libs were always likely to gain from disaffected centrist Tories when their party moved so far to the right, for whom moving to Labour would be unthinkable.

Yes. It was a tap in.

I am not sure how 100% of the folks that will vote have not made up their mind. I could see some saying couch or one of the two candidates


99 in 100 is both more plausible and is the difference between winning and losing.




inflation came out at 2.1 in the USA.

It's insane to think the USA economy is close to Goldilock (target inflation, low unemployment, raising real wages, stock market at all time high) and an absolute majority of American voters think things are going badly in the economy


Not only that, they'll just straight up lie to your face to justify their belief (can you believe a dozen eggs costs like $10 now??).

it's not only republicans

half of the independents think the economy is getting worse, and even 15% of democrats do

I know, right? It's crazy how she told us right in our faces "The boarder's secure".


by Luciom

It would be nice if that was the case, unfortunately the number of people in favor of actual full body autonomy is vanishingly small :-(Full , coherent bodily autonomy would encompass:1) No questions asked abortion until the fetus is deemed a human being worthy of legal protection (when? doesn't matter, but that's not a bodily autonomy topic)2) A complete ban on government bein

That all sounds good.

Have you bought groceries or gasoline or seen what rent costs . You do realize the folks struggling month to month do not care about the stock market

Heck McDs aint cheap anymore

Some people just think things are always worse. Crime is worse than ever. Economy. Kids these days. Neither logic not measurement can convince this people they are wrong.

His promise to get the boarders under control is why I'm voting for him. We haven't had a President who understands skiing since Ford.

Its over $8.00 a gallon in Canada . As for stocks as the income gets lower so does the % in the USA
