Who will win US Election - Gut feelings

[EveryBiteinBangkok]

I have been half following online and media coverage of the US Election. It is getting close now. What is your gut feeling on who is going to win?

About a month ago, I felt fairly confident that Kamala Harris would win (who I want to win). Now though I am not sure and the amount of rumour and almost conspiracy around it online seems to be reaching fever pitch.

If you had to place a bet (grand national style) who would you go for?

Sorry taupe didnt mean to quote you in post

P'raps they do things differently in Russia?

Your evidence is for someone passing out leaflets outside of the polling place. They ran out of papers that suggest how people should vote aka “sample ballots”. The electioneering line is only something like 15 feet in Pennsylvania, unless it has changed since the last time I looked, so propaganda outside of polling places happens.

conversely, in my state it is 250 ft. It makes it much harder to get that last minute push on people.

If Trump becomes President it will be as good as handing Ukraine over to Putin. He will be a disaster for the world.

Thanks, I was just about to ask what a sample ballot is.

how do people actually still believe Trump will do anything but let Russia have Ukraine and any other part of eastern Europe Putin wants?

I would like to know how do you know this? Wasn’t Putin wanting Ukraine and the rest of the world when Trump was president?

@dottiehens but he hadn't invaded then. Trump will throw Ukraine under a bus

The former president poses a risk to women and the rights of women that he will seek to abolish if he is voted in again. I am thinking of all the women and girls in America that he will subjugate by taking away their access to reproductive care. I am praying that Kamala prevails.

You are praying for girls? I presume you mean females as these are the only type of "girls" with reproductive rights. I pray for all the females who do not want males invading their sports teams, changing rooms, toilets & personal female only spaces. Trump will put a stop to this.

I get the whole abortion thing and i agree..but it is legal in a lot of states..others have restrictions..but as a mother of boys i would also be worried about young men and women dying in needless wars

first results are in folks 😂

And what about young men forced to become fathers before they're ready? Because I trust your sons wouldn't walk out on their responsibilities.

Or the ones left with a child because their wife or partner has died due to a lack of medical care after a miscarriage?

Or the ones whose wives or partners lose their fertility due to lack of medical care after a miscarriage?

Or (God forbid) the ones whose daughter or partner or sister is raped? 10 states currently have no exceptions for rape and incest.

Or the poor man who is half of this couple?

It's inhumane.

I said I agree! Just that theres more issues than abortion to consider

Precisely why did Putin not invade Ukraine when Trump was in if he such an ally? Surely it would have been easier?

Yes, of course there are!

Gun ownership should bother all Americans but unfortunately many roll out their right to bear arms before the safety of their children at school.

Putin needs Trump in office to withdraw the funding to Ukraine and support him trampling all over the country. Then would Poland be next and other NATO countries?

Trump with a landslide by the looks of things

The killing will stop the second Russian troops get back behind their own (pre 2014) borders. No negotiations needed. Trump being Putins puppet won't change that fact, it will just make life very much harder for the rest of the world.

It's really not difficult to comprehend.

And where did you get that nugget of bollocks from?

The one thing that has struck me, is all the rallies over the last couple days in eg Pennsylvania…

Trump rallies are empty, people walking out, him babbling on to a few hundred people that are mostly looking at their phones or towards the exit

vs

Harris rallies that are absolutely huge, thousands of people with lots of energy, massive crowds and noise

Quite stark

Rallies don't really matter. There are always far more voters that go out and unenthusiastically vote for a candidate than there are people that will enthusiastically go out and cheer at rallies.

Where’s your information coming from?
