It will all be Biden's fault, nothing he could do about it. His mates will magically all get richer, completely unrelated though.

Thanks, appreciate it.
Oh, look. Media and poll makers have been lying again to support their favourite candidate. How surprising that the most unpopular vice president in history whose approval ratings were around 30-ish % non-stop hasn't actually gone to 50+ % within 2 months all of a sudden as suggested. As if it was believable that Trump was pummeling Biden (which is why he had to make way) yet somehow Kamala of all people turned it around and made Trump voters pivot to her.
Betting companies who put their money on the table were right and so were business men in the know like Jeff Bezos. When the Washington Post doesn't even endorse you as a Democratic candidate, you're toast.

Thank God Biden stood down or else Trump would have walked it...
The US is probably ready for a female president. But possibly not one who is mixed race and perceived as a progressive.
It's a bit like female leaders across other Western countries - they tend to only achieve success affiliated to traditional/conservative political parties and movements. People can only deal with so much change.
Random nobodies? Those tweets have anywhere from 6 to 33 views!
Is the parking lot a reference to something? if not, its probably a troll farm posting the same shit. would ignore.
To be honest they quite obviously should have ran a mini primary and not just put Harris in, but I think they were losing anyway either way, even with Biden staying
Harris to me seems like the fall person whilst Dems regroup
Oh NBC says its hispanic that fecked up, oh them getting slack for it will certainly swing them back...
It's just going to go faster. That's the only difference.
Ukraine on the other side is pretty much done.
The idea that Kamala fecking Harris is “too progressive” is absolutely wild to me.
I suspect a lot of damaging stuff will now come out. No one paid attention to this at the time but when Biden dropped out via that announcement on social media, he waited around 30 minutes before making another post endorsing Harris. Would not surprise me if Biden was not going to endorse Harris but got forced into it.
Totally agree and I thought that I wouldn’t have to spell out what I meant to others.
Can Gaza really be bombed more than it has been already?
People seems to think that Trump and Republican wants to jail, and deport every immigrants. They just want a strict border and deport illegal aliens. That's something most people can relate to
Dem on the other hand selling the "let's open the border for everyone and let them all in"
Sometimes people are forced to pick the lesser of two evil. I believe strongly Trump or republican voters dont fancy full anti abortion, but the other alternatives was a full abortion before pregnancy.
I also believes that if one party could have offered a more balanced approach and rational policy (e.g. no abortion beyond the 5th months or stricter border patrol but a more open legal immigrations) would have picked more vote. Not everyone is anti abortionist at all cost and not everyone is abortionist at all cost. They just dont have the middle option

The country votes for the guy that is probably in talks with Bibi for a Trump Tower in Gaza, not a single trump voter gives a flying feck about the suffering of Palestinians and all these online trolls can do is think about phrase searching twitter to say "LOOK AT THE LIBERALS".
Well, my country of birth is going to now be a Russian colony - cheers lads.
The impact of his policies, should they be put to material fruition are also horrible on geopolitics and state security.
20% tariffs on all imports completely cripples the US military and the military industrial complex.

I think beyond what could potentially really happens the notion that "yeah you're fecked, but it's ok because the other dude can feck you more" is very demeaning to alot of people. So many posters here even goes to say you're fecked but at least this one fecks you but give me better economy
So, sorry you're fecked but we need your vote.
Mate WTF, nobody is for going into a clinic and going, "Right I know im about to give birth in 20 days but I changed my mind."
The dems ran the platform of "No abortion after X time without any exceptions is absurd, we want there to be options for health and considerations."
Also have you been missing since 2015? The Dems are harsher on border than 2016-2020 iteration of Trump.
Anything to the left of Franco is too progressive for some in the US electorate. Chasing these people is a mistake - the Republicans just slide further to the right and the Democrat can never be right-wing enough.
I will see this introduced before I believe it. It was something to run on, but also a promise that will quickly be forgotten. And there will be powerful voices close to Trump pushing against it, because of their own economic interests.
Wont happen, Trump being Trump and Biden being senile doesnt mean the economy will follow their mind.
If anything biden has taught us is that you can have a corpse in there and the economy is doing fine. There's a force calling the shots behind the screen be it system, laws, or a collection of poweful sane people
Wisconsin going to Trump according to CNN
It's done
It's done
Yeah, that's my hope. That it's all a, "Look we said this for marketing purposes."
reading reddit I thought Kamala would win by landside
Guess not.
Terrible platform for any political related content.

can't think of worse tbh.
You'd expect them to learn from Hillary and Harris. Although you never know..
An honest question, how is he planning to "fix" the economy, as this was probably the main voting point for most? And if he can't, will the next election be a Democrats landslide?
One of trumps proposals is to reclassify all civil servants as political appointments so anyone can be removed from their position.
Ok, but Trump specifically, explicitly ran on a very detailed policy of, "We are going to put 20% tariffs on all imports."
This isn't a "We're going to set tariffs!". This is, for Trump standards at least, actual specific policy.
It's been done for a while.. 312-226 .. quite the thrashing.
Bigger margin than the 2020 Biden win.
WI just went to Trump.
It's officially over.
The madman is at the WH once again.

Rob Schneider is a MAGA guy. That tracks.
I'm not. All this time, it was kind of hoping against hope.
People can go on and on about how Kamala didn't have a plan, wasn't convincing, was bad for Muslims (everything Trump is and 100x worse), but at the end of the day this still boiled down to a handful of people's reaction to the idea of a female president being 'women be crazy'.
Spare me 'it's the economy' thing, as if there is data showing the Republicans are usually worse overall with the economy
It's absolutely crazy that we're trying to go back to 18th century trade policy in the form of Mercentailism.
What next, the fecking gold standard?

Is it really that bad? I'm not caught up much with American politics but on the surface of things it looks bad that Trump will be back in the white house
Maybe I'm wrong, but my impression is that the economy is already largely fixed. The metrics look good. The problem is that the price increases that came about during the period with high inflation are here to stay, and that's what people are able to understand.
I don't think Trump has any real idea how to handle the economy. It will be ideological, which means deregulation and tax cuts benefitting the wealthy. How that impacts the next election is anyone's guess, but it could well be that the economy runs fairly smoothly on the back of Biden's domestic achievements (CHIPS act, infrastructure bill, IRA), which the Republicans will claim credit for and therefore win again.
