If you think we're all taking this badly, imagine what must be going on in Kiev right now - their country effectively ceases to exist sometime early next year.
 
The whole echo chamber thing to me is just as stupid as saying snowflakes. People hang out with other people who are somewhat on the same wavelength. Shocker. The MAGA crowd literally created their own websites and news sources out of nothing so the whole accusing one side of being in an echo chamber is incredibly disingenuous.

You literally just proved the point I made in another post. Thanks.
 
Fair enough, just as I have been flicking through anyone who is for the other view seems to get aggressive response, or even in one case gets called a piece of shit and to go feck themselves.
I mean, both things can be true. Up until very recently I thought he'd edge it but was hoping for polls to be wrong. But I also believe any educated person that voted for Trump is a f*cking disgrace. So there's a little bit of anger to work through. I have some (formerly?) good friends that voted for Trump because they have a decent amount of crypto, and think he'll lower their personal tax bill, and that's literally all they care about.

For the masses that only see Fox News, well I can understand their vote.
 
0 chance of that happening. It will be Newsom or Shapiro, and depending on the economy then, maybe they will have a shot.

Bob Casey and Tammy Baldwin are going down, this has been an utter disaster.
The only thing I can see Democrats having on their side is that they will have 4 years to prepare a new candidate.

Republicans on the other hand are going to be struggling with convincing Trump he can’t run again and once (if) they have done that it will need to be a candidate hand picked by him
 
It also turns out that a stand up set with some racist jokes and Rudy Giuliani being about as racist against Palestinians as the average pro-Israeli didn't decide the election after all.

Who would have thought? This thread is pretty bizarre at the best of times, but that must have been one of the most out of touch moments.

i was pretty down on her chances most of october, but i thought that puerto rico joke saved her. got it totally wrong.

Why formerly?

Indeed, you're already spelling it the Russian way.
 
Tbf, you're on a forum mostly dedicated to a single football club, saying you're shocked at so many people with similar views.
When did I say shocked?

And your post doesn't make sense. Unless you think everyone who supports Utd must also have the same view on everything else....
 
I woke up and still don't understand the USA. Fecking Trump. A disgrace he's even able to run for president in the first place.
 
“The Donald wins glorified popularity contest for the second time.”
 
I just really, really feel for the people in Ukraine.

Genuinely... Why? I'm out of the loop on Ukraine so what is likely to happen? If I am not mistaken, Russia invaded while Biden was President so why are the Democrats good for Ukraine and Republicans not?

Im assuming its something to do with attitudes to funding them? Are we expecting Trump to pull funding or pull support completely?
 
At least this is clarifying. It's not close. He's doing better everywhere. This is what America wants. It wants to 'return' to pre-pandemic world. Fair enough, I do too. But it's not possible.

I desperately hope the Dems now go for a change, positive candidate. Please please please don't take a message that moderating is what is needed.

I thought it would work - I thought they could grab some tiny sliver of the 20% of Haley voters. I was dead wrong. Dems need a new face, a new, positive direction to energise. It can't be anti-anything, it has to be for something.

AOC28!!!
Nah. We won’t be seeing another female candidate for a long time.

Or maybe it did. Just not the way thought.
 
If only this was about USA but it might fek up the whole world. Not might, will.
The is was said in 2016, obviously didn’t happen, and people are still saying it. I think it just gives people an excuse to indulge in harmless hysteria.
 
Fair enough, just as I have been flicking through amd anyone who is for the other view seems to get am aggressive response, or even in one case gets called a piece of shit and to go feck themselves.

People who expressed that Trump might win? I think you’re confusing it with people who hoped Trump would win.

Those guys can and should go feck themselves, and I think that’s a fair statement.
 
Why on Earth would Latino, Afro and Arab Americans vote for this guy. He promised mass deportations ffs.
 
Wow. Before I went to bed I was reading the posts on here how close it was going to be but Dems were likely to win. Can the polls be that wrong again or does the caf just share bad/biases information?
 
This confirmed to be stopping under Trump then?

Trump once said that the problem with Gaza was that Palestinians had mismanaged the best beach front real-estate areas in the middle east, and they could have been as rich as Monaco.

Conservative think tanks are pushing for a permanent one state solution with Israel controlling everything. Trump will unappologetically support Israel. He will want to move people out of Gaza, so probably pays Egypt handsomely - he loves being seen as a deal maker - and comits to a full defensive alliance with Israel. A new muslim ban is probably coming too.

Except it did. Only people who weren't paying attention during those 4 years (and some of that I don't blame them for considering it was one scandal and bat shit thing after another) can say that with a straight face IMHO
 
Wow. Before I went to bed I was reading the posts on here how lost it was going to be but Dems likely to win. Can the polls be that wrong again or does the caf just share bad/biases information?
The latter
