Well that's the problem, innit? The orange shit heap will get a good chunk of votes from the idiots no matter what. So the other candidate needs to be an A grade to attract the rest of the votes, otherwise the pile of feces will win. At this point it's obvious the diarrhea puddle can do whatever he wants and still get his share of votes, so asking why he can do and say whatever and get away with it is pointless.
Source? Or are we down to republican level of accepting losing?
If it had been a record low, then sure. But I don't think we broke records in that direction either.
Actually, no. If the landslide victory was within the normal polling error, like it was, you would see some polls giving a big margin for Harris, some for Trump and some having them tied. When all polls are indicating a very close race, something is off. Perhaps bad sampling, people refusing to reveal their candidate or some sort of consensus seeking in the polling methodology.
Because they didn't put up these tariffs when they had the chance, so Trump had to do it now.
On an unrelated note, I recently got this leopard as a pet and it's now digesting my face. How do I undo it all?
Yep. It's truly been an election that's not missing drama. Two assassination attempts, sitting president dropping out with 4 months left, open fascism, couch fucking, non-white female runner for the first time, all polls absolutely incorrect... Just to get an orange shit heap to fuck over Ukraine, Palestine and our climate. Could Igo back to the boring Obama years, please?
Instead of a red mirage, we got a blue stayathomeandnotvote. Harris got 10-13M votes less than Biden in 2020, and even Trump seems to be getting less votes than the last time (counting still ongoing). I was told there would be a record turnout in this election.
Hate and simple answers. Trump will "fix inflation" and "bring jobs back", what could be better? Don't ask how or what it will cost.
In hindsight, democrats had a horrible strategy letting Biden run the second time. Harris didn't have much time to present a good platform that would have been her own - she was already the VP, so she couldn't go directly against Biden, no one would have bought that.
I think Israel/Palestine gets too much attention. An average voter wanted to hear the candidate say they'll fix immigration and their personal finances. Harris was not terribly vocal on either (although I believe she would have done just fine on both). What Harris did was mainly obtaining celebrity endorsements, while Trump got headlines with his (arguably crazy) policies that appealed to the simpletons.
If it is of any solace, the global oligarchs will be safe and well through all that is about to unfold.
I know it's tempting to down vote this, but don't shoot the messenger.
Instead, see the news as the evidence of what a piece of shit JR is. In saying that, I feel obliged to link this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EuKibmlll4
I think he's referring to the time when the DNC legit fucked over Bernie Sanders. We all saw it, yet the D voters in the US sucked it up and voted for Biden, only to see the shit show known as election 2024.
