Do we have a politics thread to discuss things political?

Kamala Harris will absolutely flog Donald Trump-his-pants in a massive landslide victory

That's very bullish of you Sticky. You need to watch Planet America. The polls in the swing states are all on a knife edge, just a couple of points in it, all well within the margin of error. Last time, the polls had the Democrats well ahead and they were off by 5% or something, which is crazy wrong. This is going to be close.

…fair call Timmy my friend… it was a bit bullish wasn’t it?… lol!… I was basing that mostly upon a website (damn it… I’ve been trying to find the website that did it since about 7:30 tonight to link to but I can’t remember what website it was unfortunately)… that gathers all the polls across all the states in the USA and gives a chart on all of the collective data and gives the average result… it was indicating that it will be a landslide victory to Kamala…

…that same website realised that Trumps cronies were trying to hijack that websites results by creating fake ‘official’ polls that were lying and saying that Trump was winning by epic margins (it’s probably the Fox News idiots lol!) so that will mess with the average result… anyway… not including the fake Trump polls… Kamala is kicking Trumps arse apparently and it will be a landslide victory for Kamala… I’m so annoyed because I can’t remember the website… but yeah… bullish?… a fair enough call my friend… lol!… cheers.
 
And yes it's a real pic. He was trying to one-up Kamala about her supposedly not having worked at McDonalds despite repeatedly maintaining she had. If/when he loses this election these photos are going to make a massive comeback 😂

Oh, and it was all staged:

So he put an apron on and held a chip pack out and posed for some photos and now he thinks he has worked at Maccas? Yeah nah. You haven't worked in fast food until you smell like the food/oil and have dealt with grumpy customers, and taken home a shit pay packet for the pleasure.
 
Not even election day and Trump is already insisting that voting is rigged. I'd say they are heading for another January 6 riot, except I have this horrible feeling he might actually win this time. Either way it will be bad, he's ensuring that.
 
Did we really think it was going to go any other way? As my husband just said at least the comedians will have plenty more material for the next four years.

People hated Biden, blamed him for inflation, tarred her with that, also (white) people much prefer voting for white men, like being able to blame someone (migrants) and either are racist or transphobic or don’t care about it (which comes to the same thing). I really hoped it would not be the case.

It has been interesting to hear people say in the last few weeks we were wrong about Hillary. So at least some people must be aware of the bad choice made once, but yet here we are.

Unfortunately it has been my experience and observation in life that people can and will do things and make mistakes - sometimes bad mistakes. And yet they never take the learnings from those mistakes to make a better decision the next time around. We just seem doomed to repeat the same shit over and over rather than stop and think what could we do different, smarter, better?
 
Unfortunately there is so much internalised misogyny that it doesn’t surprise me. He lost to a man but twice won against a woman. The world is not ready for a woman in charge.

Yes? He was so unhinged in his rallies the last months. Foul. Vile. How can people vote for that?

Well, I always watch Planet America, and with the polls in the swing states being basically a dead heat in the last few weeks, I had already accepted that Trump winning was a very real possibility. Watching the votes unfold today, I did briefly hold some hope that maybe Kamala could pull it off but that didn't last.

And yeah I think misogyny plays a part of it, and also racism. Trump leaned into that shit because it plays well to his (awful) base.
