Talking Politics

Dems *smile* this. Or more, Biden did. Had he stepped down prior to the campaign and elected not to nominate, it would have given the party a chance to go through the whole primaries process. A candidate that had gone through that I feel, would be perceived at least, to hold more legitimacy. Possibly a candidate more liked by the moderates across party lines too.

Such a candidate would have won in a landslide.
Old mate Sleepy Joe b pullin the knives out of his back n chortling quietly. *smile* me over you arse holes n I've stuck you with Camel Arse as my endorsed replacement.

Perhaps the Educated latte drinkers need to look beyond their insular surroundings and perhaps give kudos to those poor uneducated racist types you refer to,as they are probably feeding and clothing you.In this country I reckon Albo will feel the brunt of many here for exactly the same reasons.So perhaps your next road trip will be to visit all and sundry here before the election to cast your pretty narrow view .

Well they'll be worse off under Trump and Dutton here so more fool them I guess.

What a beautiful victory!!
I have dusted off my MAGA flag!!
The greatest political comeback since John Howards Lazarus with a triple bypass!! 🤩🤩
It was the Latino and African American voters that turned to Trump.
If you want to be really despondent look at the vote from Miami Dade county!! What a barn burner!!
Willo and I tried to tell you Kamala was unelectable.

This will be interesting to hear. How the *smile*?
 
Yep, Trump will go even harder supporting Israel so Palestine is *smile*. And Ukraine as well, Putin will be rubbing his hands with glee right now.
Palestine wouldn't have happened if the spigot wasn't turned back on for Itan.

If Russia were sticking missiles up the USA's (_)_) by putting them in Cuba, how would the USA react.

Kamala.goes.the the Ukraine to negotiate peace and invites them to join a military alliance (NATO) which Russia has always said was a red line not to be crossed, and 2.days later they go in.

They should have left the Ukraine as a buffer zone instead of buying out Naffagas and provoking a war to pillage Ukranian resources.

Those wars were totally avoidable and only started because of the idiotic war machine of the USA

I'’m talking about the lack of progressive thinking that will allow them to embrace a female President. And so on.
Americans had the choice between their first female president or their first convicted criminal.
They chose the criminal.

On the bright side, at least we won't have to hear lies about how the election was rigged, and we know supporters of the losing side wont resort to violence to try to overturn the result.

OK. Tell me what was so terrible under the first Trump presidency in 2016.? Let me help here unlike others before him he was not a war mongerer.He went against his military chief advice and did not engage with an all out war with Iran. Some will say he is a convicted felon?His demeanor compared to the corruption of say the Clintons and their property development scheme is a *smile* in the ocean. Mysoginist? Perhaps.But really in today's world anyone can and has been called that.At least he has the balls to have a crack rather than those that reckon they have privledge.

Two-step process for the Dems to ensure this doesn’t happen again for a good while -

1) put a southern man on the top of the goddam ticket, preferably a Latino man

2) when in power, focus on grass-roots education in all midwest states

So you reckon poor Harris was hardly done by?She got almost two thirds of her votes from California and New York. Perhaps the Educated latte drinkers need to look beyond their insular surroundings and perhaps give kudos to those poor uneducated racist types you refer to,as they are probably feeding and clothing you.In this country I reckon Albo will feel the brunt of many here for exactly the same reasons.So perhaps your next road trip will be to visit all and sundry here before the election to cast your pretty narrow view .
I'm sorry I don't care who one is, of where they live, or what goods and services they provide, I don't subscribe to racism and sexism and some of the things I heard in my travels, particularly in those rural areas was disgusting. As I said I visited most of the US. There won't be another road trip unfortunately, although it is a beautiful country. I don't believe my view is narrow, I visited capital cities and rural and met people every day. Don't need to visit all and sundry to understand the psyche and beliefs in general. Maybe your view is narrow, or what's your personal experiences in your US travels and living with people in the US? Genuinely interested to know.

It's not about Harris for me, I don't care for Democrats or Republican, I just don't think despicable people like Trump or 80 year old seniles of any ilk should be running the most powerful country in the world.

And fact check, as you must always do with Trump sympathisers, no Harris didn't get 2/3rds of her votes from California & New York, although it makes sense many would come from those states as 1st and 4th most populous states in the US, many of those people educated.

Anyway I'm out of here. Waiting for the important election, the 2024 AFL National draft.

Another basic (albeit small) thing Americans can't get right. Put the **** swing numbers up when discussing a state. They just put up total numbers and % break up of the number. Give us the swing % from 2020 you morons.

Actually maybe that's gonna be too confusing for many Americans. Scratch idea.

Harris got most of her votes percentage wise from 2 states.Fact.And no my view of people in general is not narrow.Just do not like those that make general comments on peoples and when questioned go away and change the subject..Oh and to answer your question Yes I have been to the states on two occasions and will be there next Feb.So having said that the new regime holds no fears for me.

What a beating, really. Even in states that the Dems are certainties to win each election, there's been some big swings against Harris v 2020.

Am I reading a swing of about -6% in California correctly ??? What the....

He is convicted, that is a fact. And compare the performance of the US economy under Trump and Biden.
So tell me what is that performance really? Compare Trumps to Obama?And on the convicted side of things? Murder?Rape?Assault? Fiddling the books?Oh gee,what a disaster.Plenty of local pollies have done far worse.

Can't recall any stealing from kids cancer charities recently. Most despicables draw a line somewhere.
 
The Americans have had 4 years under Trump and 4 years under Biden/Kamala. They obviously think Trump did the better job.

Israel (with the support of the US) has been choking the life out of Palestine for 80 years, haven't you noticed? And that will get worse under Trump.

Now watch what happens with Ukraine and Russia - that will be worse for Ukraine too.
