      Seriously, here in Australia, a win is a legitimate reason to take yanks in as political refugees (especially women)

        Visited Sydney and Trinity Beach in June with my family, and it was one of the best trips I’ve ever had. I wish we could have seen more, let alone move there! So clean, people cared about the environment, lovely people everywhere.

        ❤️ Australia!

      NYT forecast is 90% Trump now. It’s crazy that anyone would vote for him, really shows that policy plays no part in politics. It’ll be interesting to see how he tears down the judicial system to remove the many charges against him.

        Yup. American democracy is going to be dead after this election.

        I wonder how much of that project 2025 will be implemented.

          How alive is it when the ‘democratic’ candidate was anointed instead of voted for through a democratic process? I’m not a Trump fan at all but at least he was chosen by the people.

            Deligates DID elect her, and they did so because the party members they represent wanted her to take over, there was 5+ internal polls sent to registered democrats, this didn’t SUDDENLY happen, it was weeks of polling and campaigning. A party doesn’t need to have a public primary to select a candidate.

            It’s the fear and blame, they now know white people can go back to having all the privilege, and brown people can be rounded up and infinity detained or exiled, imprisoned, enslaved, over policed, under served. Because they know any black having a job, means they got the job by being black and they stole it from a actually qualified white.

              What about this statement means the people thinking this way aren’t adult children? It seems you are just pointing out cognitively/emotionally immature ways of thinking here.

            That alone can’t be it, I’m a man-child and I’d never vote for him if I had a say in this election.

            It’s the fact that he promises easy solutions to everything. What are the solutions? Well that doesn’t matter, he promised he’ll deal with all the problems, that’s enough.

              It means they aren’t serious people. The Trump administration wrecked up the country with their shitty dangerous response to covid and their conservative base spent the entire time complaining and attacking healthcare workers.

              Serious people propose ways to address problems and work based off of facts. Conservatives are off on witch hunts and high on identity politics.

              This election was a referendum on the neo-liberal order and it lost. Trump represents populist nationalism, if the transactional nature of his first term is any indicator he’s gonna sell off as much as he can to the highest bidders.

              TLDR: A bunch of angry working class folks just handed the country to the billionaire oligarchs, possibly under some delusion the wealthy won’t keep robbing them blind.
