... won't be so exciting - Kamala will scrape through and Trump will moan and then back down?

Can't see a thread on this, but if there is, please do tell me x

Unlike Elon Musk . Who fully understands the struggle of regular people …

Yes he does. That's why he wanted Trump to win because it's better for him as a massive employer...

Biden shouldn’t have run again. By the time he stepped down, there wasn’t enough time for the US public to get to know Kamala properly.

She was never going to win. Even if she'd had ten years to run.

Yes, he will bring back the sanity of the word 'woman' meaning what it used to be, along with single sex spaces.

At least he will get rid of the pesky brown women, let's hope he doesn't decide to separate their children into cages this time huh!

It's okay, he promised to end all the wars in 24 hours. So by Friday we should have world peace!

He employs thousands of people worldwide, and as far as I've seen hasn't ranted like Oprah did.

My point is Oprah is so cocooned in her celeb world that she hasn't a clue. Musk at least knows your average Joe and the struggles of business because he runs several multinational companies and isn't quite so driven by his own self importance.

Wrong. It appears Trump won by a pretty large margin.

MumOfOneAllAlone · 06/11/2024 09:12

I can't believe trump might actually win!!!

She is a nobody on the world stage. Everyone knows who Trump is. I'll be glad if he wins. The people have spoken. All your Oprahs Taylor Swifts and the rest of the motley crew of wheeled out celebs didn't do it for Harris. Good. Anyway it's not quite decided yet.

Edited

Part of me did think that having all of these celebs endorse her was gonna be bad for her

The same with Hillary 'dabbing' - just seems desperate

It'd odd all that excitement about Swift or Beyonce or whoever declaring for Harris

Now it's over it's just looks as it did to many who didn't care. Clinton's campaign did the same

It's bad for the brands of the celebs now.

They will have to cuddle their egos, which may be bruised.

As much as you may enjoy someone's art, it doesn't mean that you worship them like a God.

WW3 was going to happen anyway. It's not great that the European leg will start sooner.

I'm so terrified that we're going to experience ww3 tbh, this just makes it seem more certain

It's time for the Democrats to choose a new tactic

It might have worked for Obama, but he was a class on his own

It doesn't work and agreed it seems patronising as though people can't think for themselves

It was going to happen regardless.

It will be Polish men next and work it's way through Europe.

Some countries call up young women as conscripts. They will appeal for volunteers initially.

Obviously the Middle east and Taiwan will still be sensitive also.

Random, but the kardashians didn't endorse kamala did they? Wonder what they're going to get from trump winning g

Quite the opposite.

Thinking that the other side is somehow irrational for voting the way they do has long been the problem with the left and ‘progressives’. It implies that the other side is stupid, ‘gammons’, ‘basket of deplorables’, ‘garbage’. You know, all the labels that the enlightened left like to apply to people.

Whereas, understanding that they have valid concerns would be more apt for any critical thinking person.

Nail on head, @Ytcsghisn; they never learn and they won't now, so will just have to go on being surprised at results like this

Agree with both of you

I remember talking to some lefties before the brexit vote

They had no idea of how the average person outside of liberal london really felt 😄

Nobody’s allowed in when counting is taking place. Doesn’t matter how legitimate the person trying to get in insists their reasons are. Thems the rules. It would be chaos otherwise.
