Who will win the 2024 US election?

[emanymton]

ooh are you lot planning a nuclear war now? cool, great work

I assume you are happy with the Trump win?

 

[SpookyFrank]

Do you know what? The Democratic party (funny sort of democracy) establishment has been humiliated, and its entire paradigm has been exposed as politically bankrupt. And I'm glad.

That's my first reaction.

It didn't make any difference when the same thing happened eight years ago, don't expect it to now.

wtf ? Why do you assume that?

 

[krtek a houby]

The urban bunfight is upon us. Feel the rage, libs!

 

[Agrippa57]

I hate to say this.
But one can now only hope for assassination. Sorry.

 

[girasol]

Well, there you go. Hate to say it, but I did think this was going to happen. It really was kinda obvious for anyone paying attention

Just listening to the radio it seems it was a case of young men vs. young women. More young men voted? Or are there more young men in the USA? Usually there are slightly more women than men, population wise. Fucking hell. Disaster.

Only one potential siver lining is no more financial aid to Israel's war machine?

The world's going to pay a high price for you getting that feeling of satisfaction

Oh dear.

Of Harris? Biden?

cos if you mean the other guy, it would be a disaster.

it makes no difference now as the publicans would still be in power

 

[LakieLady]

Un-fucking-believable.

I'm beyond depressed. I feel like going back to bed and staying there for the next 4 years.

That would mean President Vance. And nobody wants that.

 

[SpookyFrank]

Don't worry, there'll be expanded opportunities for camp guards in Eastern Europe, you won't be left out...

Unacceptable. Reported.

 

[ska invita]

Unacceptable. Reported.

War criminals playing out their fantasies.... its what it looks like

 

[emanymton]

wtf ? Why do you assume that?

It is the logical conclusion of your politics.

 

[ruffneck23]

Fuck, how thoroughly depressing

Like, trump also invoked the bogeyman of 'the radical left'. He did that consistently. It's not like if they'd have chosen AOC or someone, the result would be different. Everyone failed. Marxists, 'never trump' republicans, generic liberals.

Yep. This is a victory of individualism over any sense of collective politics.

 

[cupid_stunt]

Trump is on stage, about to declare his victory.

 

[_Russ_]

Arse

Melania's face looks like she's being forced to smile.

Harder to invoke if people feel their lives are improving. Food and housing is a third more expensive in the US than the UK and they have to pay for health care.

I do agree more than a few people are reacting against even a whiff of progressive politics

 

[Calamity1971]

Why is everyone infighting? As if tonight isn't bad enough.

Yuwipi Woman mentioned that the supposedly booming economy seems to be mainly on the seaboards, and that there’s a huge divide between urban and rural.

I thought of our own “left behind” former seaside resorts and post industrial midland and northern towns where the far right have achieved success.

“Four more years of this shit”

Yes I can sympathise

 

[krtek a houby]

Very Presidential

We’re on the political left this is what we do

 

[krtek a houby]

Because the real enemy are the liberals, neo liberals and other wrong uns who hate democracy. Its time for a purge.

Even on the coasts many people's experience of the boom will be being priced out. That's also happening here and not just in London.

Oh Christ, he's gone from orange to fucking bronze . He's going to die from McDonald's and foundation asphyxia . I called it.
