US Politics

[cryrst]

As I have previously said I don’t think the question is why people didn’t vote for Harris. The Democrats ran a decent campaign which appeared on track to succeed.

The question is why so many apparently intelligent people were prepared to ignore the obvious corruption of a convicted felon who had tried to directly interfere with their democracy only 4 years previously. If they could not support Harris, for whatever reason, why vote at all. No one ought vote for someone like Trump in any circumstances.

77 million of them, all thickos who are not as clever as a certain south west resident. I bet they wish they were as bright and all knowing but alas there is only room for one on this ball of rock in the universe !

They are clearly not all “thickos”!

That’s the point. How could apparently averagely intelligent people decide to overlook the very obvious failings of Trump? What has happened that so many are prepared to compromise integrity and common sense in this way?

I realise the USA is a largely inward looking nation where thinking doesn’t always match ours but to conclude it’s acceptable to vote Trump back, after all he did before, is seriously wierd.

Integrity and common sense is not something most governments have when it comes to decisions for the majority of there populations so isolating trump for a lack of is laughable.

Because having experienced both his and Biden's terms they preferred Trump's. Why that is I don't know but I'm not American. I have a friend who lives in Florida and he and his wife, who are both Democrats, voted for Trump because they disliked Hilary so much and said lots of people they know had done the same.
Harris was the wrong candidate and had there been more faith in her Biden would have stepped aside much earlier.

They probably looked at the obvious failings of Harris, Biden and the Democratic Party, compared it to Trump's last term in office, and voted accordingly.
