No, erosion in religious, Orthodox Jews is real.
The secular Jews are still solidly Democratic. Will hurt them in some congressional district like the Mike Lawler seat in NY, but on presidential level it's quite inconsequential.

If it’s as close as that, there will be legal challenges galore and Trump will drag it out.
What's the point of the interactive electoral map you can just paint yourself? I painted it entirely blue simulating a 100 - 0 Harris victory.
Can I send it in somewhere?

It is just anonymously posting on a forum.
His only 3 posts in the last 2 years are all downplaying fascism in some form or another
I would love to hear his opinion on what about Trump suggests he’s leadership material, what coherent answers he’s giving on the economy or the border or how he comes across as sincere or trustworthy when he scuppered the border bill for his own personal benefit, to the point, and this is key, that he is actively hoping for a Trump win. If he came out saying American politics is a bag of dicks and it’s sad this is our choice no one would be reacting as they did.
And he doesn’t get to use the “well he’s not Kamala” argument because, despite his post being all about her and not about Trump, he asserts one can’t make the “she’s not Trump” argument.
Trump’s presidency lead directly to the handling of Covid, both in things he did before the outbreak and then during the pandemic pitting states against each other, and the repeal of both Roe and Chevron. Without anything else, those are pretty abysmal.
What I think is irrelevant. For it to be a lie then the person stating it will have to believe his term was as apocalyptic as feared, but is claiming to believe it wasn't.
So, again, what's more likely?
- this person believes that what actually happened with Trump as president wasn't quite as bad as the advertised end of democracy.
- this person believes Trump was as bad as everyone claimed it would be, or worse, but is claiming the opposite here on Redcafe because of some unknown reason.
I may have been exaggerating with comedic intent, somewhat there.
Yeah, and in 2016 I thought maybe getting Trump in would be a wake-up call. Instead we get fresh horrors on top of the already abysmal developments we’ve been seeing. I never thought I’d see Roe v Wade overturned, for one.
Nothing’s so bad that you can’t make it worse. I don’t see how you can claim that it doesn’t matter and that it’s pretty much the same. Tell that to the women dying needlessly these days directly due to the way he stacked the Supreme Court.
Well the GOP spent years (if not decades) planning to overturns Roe and remove women’s rights. They work tirelessly to suppress voting rights. They make sure not even a tiny amount of gun control can be implemented, and undo laws democrats have preciously passed. They do everything they can to stop almost any laws being passed. A large portion of them spread wild and ridiculous conspiracy theories as often as they draw breath. They are openly and publicly racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, and a bunch of other ists and phobics, and let’s also not forget they tried very hard to violently overthrow an election.
And this is just the highlights.
As I say, dems are a long long way from ideal, but there really isn’t any comparison.
I’m going to agree to disagree with you on this for the reasons I’ve already stated.
Yes. But this time, Trump is not the President. That’s already better than 4 years ago.
I suggest not to think too much about what he will do in the courts and just think about tomorrow (and the following days if needed).
Agree to disagree about what?
NH. Most people who live at or near Dartmouth College vote Dem. NH overall is more evenly split.
Alex Cohen seems to be, but Yashar is just a "journalist"/influencer, mostly neutral/slightly Kamala.
Hot takes: Dems are still better than Labour, because they at least win elections.
Just imagine how the US would look like now if the Republicans have enjoyed 16 straigh years in power like the Tories did.

Oh, Labour in the Democrats' position here would have had a photo-op of Starmer personally bombing Gaza to solidify their right flank. Like the last scene of Strangelove.
And got shitcanned regardless like Dukakis.
Much better. About 20% of Australians are descended from convicts. Not that it matters.
I have not read the entire thread but I find it incredible that Trump was allowed to run, that anybody with half a brain cell votes for him and that he is not in jail. TBH I have avoided news on the American election as much as possible I just find it too depressing, if Trump wins may as well call time on the human race, god only knows what that moron will attempt in the next 4 years
Or to put it another way…look at what the US looks like now after 12 years (out of 16) of the Democrats in power.
I think the thing that bothers them the most is that she's a woman. A strong one at that who won't stand for antics from any misogynistic pigs.
Any chance we see Taylor Swift at the Philadelphia rally tonight? It is her homestate.
Would be iconic for her to come out in front of a screen showing Trump's "I Hate Taylor Swift!" tweet.

Pretty good compared to the rest of the developed world, especially after the two Republicans presidents they followed left them with the housing collapse/Iraq and bungled Covid response.Or to put it another way…look at what the US looks like now after 12 years (out of 16) of the Democrats in power.
But I don't expect a genius with takes like 'China never had mass immigration' or 'abortion is eugenics' to grasp those nuances.
Trump will lose tomorrow.
Soon after, a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi shall trouble my sight.

So the Trump years were just some inexplicable blip? You left out Libya and Syria btw.
(A very stable genius)
That’s just a statement of the obvious.
And that’s just an obvious misrepresentation. Ironic too.
10/10…keep it up!

She's probably in Kansas City tonight.
And some women vote for this madman.

1st and only time I will be cheering for Glazers. TBH, they have done decent stuff with Florida communities is what I have heard.
Edit: Family split, just like what they have done with us.
High tariffs, high unemployment aren’t good for your purse.
It's a racist backlash against the first black president in a nation that is still dealing with the legacy of chattel slavery, that and Hillary Clinton being a bad candidate.
The Arab Spring didn't happen in a vacuum, it's a direct product of the regional instability brought about by Afghanistan/Iraq and the rise in extremism funded by the Saudis.
Sure
Only obvious for someone who has never studied Chinese history, but that's a given since you don't seem to need to know much about any topic before jumping in with your hot takes, like the defence of the Electoral College.
You'd have more respect if you own it instead of trying to pass it off as irony.
It's too easy.
Both are bad, but bad for different reasons. The democrats are bad because politically they don’t really know what they want to be and are terrible at making things happen. The republicans are bad because they are incredibly good at making things happen that are very, very bad for America and society in the whole. If you can’t see that makes one side much, much worse than the other than that’s on you.
Regarding the Middle East, Trump has openly told Israel to “do whatever it takes to get it done”. The democrats have been horrible for Gaza but the republicans under Trump would likely be much, MUCH worse.
I think that's more to do with just how far right the overton window has shifted in the states.
If the Torries were as far right as the Republicans, Labour would have had to do little more than exist to have won at least half of the general elections.
Pretty much everything left of UKIP would be called out as communist by news outlets like Fox. NHS, abortions, and gun control? Not in freedom land!
Why isnt New Hampshire so democrat strong as the rest of New England?
The US being further right doesn't explain how Labour lost 2 elections to Theresa May and Boris Johnson, especially the latter. I like Corbyn, but there's no way a figure like him would be allowed to become leader for the Democrats, Bernie Sanders wasn't.
It prizes itself on its streak of independence and have quite a few libertarian anti government types, also more rural than the rest of New England (except Vermont, but Vermont is full of hippies). The Free Town/State Project was started in NH, look it up, it's batshit crazy (and very funny)
So dumb on so many levels!
Can’t believe it’s tomorrow. This cycle has been insane when you look back.
Best of luck to all US-based Cafites.
