A Political Thread pt. 2

[Ragey Erasmus]

One of the worst aspects is he could potentially get another supreme court nomination and ensure the continuation of the most partisan and corrupt supreme court probably ever in US history.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

America is not a real country

 

[Gavin]

Where's Bernie when you need him

 

[ncurd]

Well ****...

 

[ncurd]

Where's Bernie when you need him

If you can't get a moderate like Harris in because people are too right wing what chance does Bernie have?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Trump's speech sounds very much like something Palatine would say in star wars

America is so ******

 

[Saintjay]

Looks like he took a decent chunk of the Latino and Asian vote

Oh well you get what you wish for.

 

[McTallshort]

In a democracy the people get the government they deserve

 

[General Melchett]

Well bugger me with a fish fork.

Leader of the free world. The alpha male of the west. What a joke. Europe needs to get it's act together militarily and stop relying on what is one ****** up basket case of a country.

Worrying times for Ukraine and Palestine. Oh and any of our politicians bleating on about the so called special relationship can **** right off.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Not surprised at all. Pretty worried about the next ten years worldwide to be honest.

 

[ncurd]

He might win the popular vote this time as well....

 

[Gavin]

Projections for the Republicans to take the Senate and House of Representatives is massive.

Kier has already used the phrase but he has to work with him he's going to be there for the duration of this parliament.

 

[General Melchett]

Farage is over there celebrating with Team Trump.

Hope his Clacton constituents don't have any pressing concerns that need addressing.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Ukraine situation is gonna be a concern - will the US just entirely pull all funding? It's what Trump wants to do
The non-Russian-border-EU nations have dragged their heels massively the whole war and could just use it as an excuse to back down, gonna just end up UK, Poland and Finland vs Russia

China will almost definitely make moves on Taiwan as well

 

[Reiser99]

Europe should be very worried. If Trump won't support Nato Allies then Europe could well find itself pretty much on it's own if Putin decides to step things up.

As for America itself, well let's see if there is any truth to project 2025.

 

[OllyM97]

Sadly I always suspected Trump would win, but I can't get my head around the apparently hefty margin of victory. Looks like he's going to sweep all of the swing states….. jeez.

 

[Which Tyler]

He'll get 2 gimmes, that won't really change the makeup of the court, just extend the shelf-life of the bias. He may get a 3rd due to age / illness - which would further exacerbate the bias.

Worrying times for Ukraine and Palestine.

Don't forget Taiwan in there as well.

The "interesting" thing we need to wait for is if he'll actively sabotage Ukraine (for example) by applying pressure on the likes of UK, Germany, SKorea to decrease involvement, or just sit back and not get USA involved.

And the popular vote - somehow.
With that, it really is "be careful what you wish for".
America has chosen to define itself by hate, criminality and bullying, with no real room for "yeah, but..."

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Killmonger can't even pretend to contain the excitement.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

It's not people going to trump that's the issue.

I feel like the dems trying to appease the right is what fucks them. It's the low voter turnout. Harris isn't even a moderate, the left in America is disenfranchised with politics it's as simple as that
