The popular vote swinging his way is icing on the cake. Can't even claim 'abolish the electoral college!!!' this time around.

This is a good point. There's really no aspect he didn't win which is surprising to me. (assuming the republicans keep the house).

What is abundantly clear is that lining up numerous millionaire celebrities to endorse you and tell Americans who to vote for doesn't resonate with the average voter struggling with making ends meet. I would have thought that the Dems would have learned that lesson in 2016.

wonder if she called Trump yet?

also calling half the population Hitler, fascist, racist, just doesn't resonate any longer.

Wait you mean a list of celebrities who are directly connected to some of the worst people on this planet didn't sway your vote?

Not when the middle class are struggling. I live in Canada and it sounds worse in places down there in the US, but the cost of basic needs like groceries is bananas. I've watched and read a few articles about people struggling mightily to feed their kids even while working several jobs. It shouldn't be that way and I suspected those people weren't going to vote for status quo.

Think about it. Putin is not just going to walk away with nothing. After spending billions and countless lives lost. Going to have to give him something to end it. Than Joe Biden for showing weakness and stating that a small incursion into Ukraine would be okay.
- MJL

the art of the deal, both sides will walk away with something. But the stupid war will be over, people will stop dying senselessly and lives can start to be rebuilt. What Joe Biden and Harris has done by first goading Putin into this war by moving for Ukrain to join Nato, and then funding the war that cost tens of thousands of people's lives is nothing short of crime, and they should be treated like criminals.

Instead of talking about those issues.

All her side wanted to do was promote racial divide, reparations, puberty blockers, and other woke BS.

How in any way, without the mass media machine to prop that crap up was that seen as a winning strategy.

600,000 dead. Or so I’ve been told from estimates with family closer to the region.

For what.

What would the US do if Russia wanted Mexico to be an ally, and put some nice “defense systems” a couple hundred miles from the border.

They used Ukrainian blood as mercenaries. Disgusting.

I think they lost track of the real issues. When mass media and celebrities are telling you you're the best and introducing you as the next president etc, to stroke your ego, you're bound to lose sight of reality.

Well said! I'm embarrassed for the country when we are not pursuers of peace and instead support war. Trump has stated as much, that there are a lot of people in our government that are nothing short of warmongers, probably funded by the defense industry that want to sell more weapons. How can anyone in this country sleep at night knowing the suffering we are causing by our own greed. I sincerely hope Trump delivers and ends this war before he takes office.

Any state that hasn't completed their vote counting by now should be put under investigation. This is a disgrace. Michigan should be called by now. How can Arizona have only counted 60% of the vote? Is Fletcher running the election there? This should not be tolerated. A national mandate should be passed forcing states to count through the night if they have to and be done by the next morning.

This is rich. This coming from a guy who trumpets every BS media narrative like Russia hoax, trump fascist, destroy democracy (my favorite considering Harris literally staged a coup)

Every media narrative has been proven false and admitted to ((on page 40 instead of page 1 of course).

Why be angry at Trump or his voters when you are the one who has bought the lie hook line and sinker? Be mad at a media complex who thinks you are either too lazy or too stupid to think for yourself and would rather just be spoonfed a narrative that is easily disproven if you would just open your eyes.

Just because Joy Reid tells you he is a "textbook" fascist (what texbook is SHE reading?) doesn't make it so. She flat out makes poop up because she knows you wont go to the source. She and her ilk IS your source. The perfect misinformed and uninformed TOOL.

BINGO!

It amazes me how so many people have no idea what the definition of fascism is. It is the appearance of private business but with total government control. Sort of like when the CDC, FBI, DHS, White House, and other government institutions order social media platforms what they can post and what they must block. Deep government control, much of it by unelected administrators, over the levers of production is exactly what has been going on for at least 24 years with the exception of 2017 to early 2020. Even the GWB Admin was doing it with the Patriot Act following 9/11.

Once you realize that modern technology has mostly been used as a weapon for control, everything else falls into place.

I think there is a lot of blame towards media platforms and less belief that one just listens to what a guy says and think he uses his words wrong. Trump isn’t to blame for his supporters actions but it doesn’t mean his words aren’t dangerous, leaving those hardcore minions of his to do exactly what he says. It’s like a young man with a crush. Girl says go do this and I’ll date you, young man does it.

Trump calls Covid the “China virus”. His followers attack Chinese businesses.

Trust claims election was stole from him. Followers attack capitals.

Commercials endorsed by Trump basically calling transgender-women Men. You can feel however you want about the group but they still hold a vote.

On this message board, if anyone on here said the smallest of asinine or wrong wording about the Flyers or any subject, this board screams like that person should be hung. Not trump.

I can say whether or not he’s doing a good job while also admitting, he says crazy things.

Word from the left. Hitler….Fascist….racist….threat to democracy…..the US voted overwhelmingly to move back to the Center.
Yes he does say some cringe worthy things…but when the left chose to put up her as the candidate you reap what you sow.

Well he’s 2-0 when beating a woman in an election. He’s got that going for him. Feel free to call me a chauvinist.
