US Politics

Like a lot of people I have US election fatigue....So even though I'm quite political I've toned down how much coverage I see till election night.

I'll watch the LotusEater's US election night coverage......though if Harris is losing badly I might just swap over to the Young Turks to watch Cenk's meltdown......Hey if Trump somehow loses I'll watch the meltdowns on the Lotuseaters.

Basically I'll be tuning in for the meltdowns.

Me too I'm very much looking forward to the meltdowns more than anything else 😊

I do agree there is election fatigue feels like it's been never ending at this point.
 
Realised how little I am invested in this outcome now. I have zero faith in any result actually leading to any meaningful change now. Trump is obviously the option I would vote for, if forced to, but I suspect it will be all hot-air much like last time.

Pulling the USA out of the Paris agreement, threatening to pull out of NATO, cosying up to dictators, failing to effectively respond to a pandemic for fear of the personal consequences, surrounding yourself with yes men, packing the Supreme Court with the politically aligned and refusing to accept the decision of the people when they voted you out was an awful lot of smelly hot air.

No wars involving armies and young men of the USA and UK?
 
Let's hope whoever wins does by a margin that cannot be denied. I really don't want another 4 years of the loser complaining they were robbed and trying to sabotage the winner's presidency.

As for the winner they need to focus on the problems that the people care about not going after their opponents.

We live in hope.
 
The BBS has temporarily closed their threads on Harris and Trump whilst the election is on.

I know the race is tight but somehow I doubt that the views of a few hundred Palace fans are going to swing it one way or another. 😀

Do you seriously attribute that to Trump or just coincidence?

Neither the USA nor the UK have got their armies directly involved in conflicts in the last 4 years either. They provide support and resist terror groups. Does Biden get the credit for that?

Trump by threatening to withdraw US support for Ukraine also threatens us.

We do indeed.

I see very different scenarios depending on who wins. If Trump does I think Harris will accept it graciously, express disappointment to her supporters but ask them to respect the democratic process, hunker down, do their best and see out the next 4 years with confidence in the Constitution and the separation of powers to keep them from any excesses.

There might be a few who make trouble but it won’t be organised or sponsored from the centre.

If Harris wins then Trump has already laid the groundwork for resistance with some of his supporters openly suggesting armed conflict. Trump would lead the fight to oppose the outcome and it could well get nasty. Again.

Trump is a baby and will throw his toys out of his pram. Harris is an adult.

They clearly sent staff. Back tracked on it and lied. It stinks. Perhaps they should send some to help the Russian opposition?

That’s untrue.

It was badly handled. Very clumsy indeed but the fact is they simply passed on an invitation from the Harris campaign for volunteers to know that accommodation would be available but that they would be responsible for their own costs.

The party did not send anyone and paid nothing towards any expenses.

That isn't a fact - just spin on a poor decision that was found out. The whole narrative had to be changed - clearly lies.
