Just that really...! Perhaps a bit more positive than admitting I feel ill about the possible results.

Yes but will be going to bed soon. I'm hoping Harris wins and am checking the results.

Momtotwokids · 06/11/2024 01:36

I'm in the US and I just look on the phone once in a while. I know most of you want Harris to win but she has done nothing for our country. She knew Biden was unable to lead and lied and said he was fine. If she wins our economy will suffer.

samedifferent · 06/11/2024 01:38

Also in the USA.
I think Trump will be far worse for the economy but that doesn't mean he can't win.

username7891 · 06/11/2024 01:40

71 to Harris 101 to Trump

Just had a quick look but going back to sleep and will check again when I get up. Scary how many Trump has already won but hoping Harris wins. A Trump win won't only be bad for the US, that's the scary thing, it'll have a huge negative impact on the rest of us. Also shocked and sad that so many will vote for him and wondering what he has to do for people to stop backing him, as his list of misdemeanours (now including actual crimes) is already shocking!

MumChp · 06/11/2024 01:41

Yes.

Inanni · 06/11/2024 01:54

Yes, I'm watching for now.

anon4net · 06/11/2024 02:05

I can't turn away...

So strange to me that in some areas Biden got more votes in the last election than Harris is getting now.

Yep. Took a nap earlier so I could stay up for it.

saltinesandcoffeecups · 06/11/2024 02:11

I’ve been posting top of the hour results in the other thread…

username7891 · 06/11/2024 02:13

99 to Harris 177 to Trump

@saltinesandcoffeecups I had looked for another thread before starting this one! Sorry I missed it!

Me too I can't watch

username7891 · 06/11/2024 02:17

The only solace is that he can't run again.

Harris 23,321,195 votes (46%)
Trump 26,583,222 votes (53%)

Trump has a 73% chance according to the polls.

But under Trump (the actual criminal) it would be better? I don’t care to expand on my point but other posters will. At the very least, he's done in four years time.

Blueuggboots · 06/11/2024 02:20

The world will be a very sad place if he wins. Harris has done nothing for America? Oh, ok. So vote in a misogynistic CRIMINAL who is obsessed with power and can't string a meaningful sentence together? What an embarrassment for the world.

anon4net · 06/11/2024 02:24

I feel the same as you expressed here @Blueuggboots I cannot fathom that he is even a choice.

No worries… just lazy and don’t want to spam!

That's before we even touch in Roe v Wade......😭😭😭😭😭

username7891 · 06/11/2024 02:35

It doesn't bode well for the UK economy.

Trump tariffs would halve UK growth and push up prices

username7891 · 06/11/2024 02:48

5 point lead for Trump in Georgia and he's doing well in NYC.

I've been hearing a lot about people feeling unsafe (due to immigrants) and that's why he's doing well.

LettuceSpray · 06/11/2024 02:50

@Momtotwokids fine if you don’t think Harris is a good choice. But why does that mean you have to vote Trump? There are other candidates, or you could abstain. It’s quite odd to say you are voting for someone because you don’t like one of the other people.

Also, you have noticed that the majority on MN do not support Trump. I’d hazard a guess that the majority of people in the world don’t. Have you never wondered why?

One day Americans will look back on this time in shame and embarrassment that a great country full of smart people voted for an orange buffoon with weird, random attitudes based on prejudice rather than facts or reality and who can’t string a sentence together. I am saying that as an outsider, not a Harris supporter. Just as someone who is appalled and mystified that anyone could vote for Trump.

username7891 · 06/11/2024 02:53

99 to Harris 188 to Trump

anon4net · 06/11/2024 02:54

She is gaining steam...!
