Trump landslide.

countering the negativity above  .... Harris 

[steviewevie]

Actually I change my mind every 5 minutes. Basically if polls are right it's too close to call...

Yup, Harris for me. Tempted to even say it won’t be particularly close either, but I’ll try and hold off from being too smugly optimistic. These aren’t the words or actions of a man who thinks he’s winning:

Biden is a liability, he needs to shut the f**k up. This is like Clinton's deplorables..and how you lose an election.

 

I wish he hadn't said it. He could have made the point by saying "the only garbage I see are those people laughing and clapping at this..." would have been way smarter.

That said, this will not nudge the needle one bit. Nobody is going to switch from Harris to Trump based on this remark. If anything, the Trumpers complaining are merely drawing more attention to the original comment.

My brother who lives in US says he's going to vote Green because there's no difference between Harris and Trump. This is the problem, there are a lot of stupid people over there.

How depressing... Vote green and allow a man who still calls climate change a hoax to get in power. Anyone who takes climate change even remotely seriously has to vote for Harris.

With my brother all he cares about is Israel/Palestine...and is against NATO and any support for Ukraine. He hates the US too apparently, but he lives there and is doing pretty well and maybe fancies some Trump tax cuts but would never admit it.

this has shifted my prediction to the Harris ticket a bit.

New prediction...Trump will win just as an improving US economy starts to feed through to prices/wages and it will be down to him because he is the chosen one.

Your unwavering optimism is commendable. I REALLY hope you have it spot on and by next weekend trump will be in full meltdown.

It's all about turnout. What's the weather forecast for next week?

That's a disaster for Harris. 🙂

[FloopFiller]

No more perfect image for the final days of Trump’s campaign tbh

 

[FloopFiller]

Early voting in key states heavily leaning towards female voters which is great for Harris, so much so that a few right wing pundits have had a bit of a Twitter freak out about it and are appealing for men to get out and vote.

Yes. They really should take control of the weather like they can and send heavy rain to rural Pennsylvania.

Apparently I still don't know how to embed a twitter post.... Sorry everyone.

 

I have amended the link for you, does it look okay now? 😊

Yes. Thank you. 

I consider myself fairly tech-savvy, so of course the embarrassment still stands...

I removed the evidence! 😉

so to twitter embed you take the post url and replace the X.com with twitter.com , then copy the new url and post it .... when the website here gets its pending upgrade hopefully you shouldn't need to be doing that and will work as before

I will call it for Harris and I think it will be at least a decisive win.

There are plenty of reasons for this, whether it's the abortion issue, Trump's terrible campaign, and so on.

But the one thing that has sealed it for me is the number of high-profile Republicans who have come out emphatically against Trump, many of them have also endorsing Harris - The Cheneys, Romney, Arnie to name a few. This is unprecedented. But I think that sensibility will also be echoed by a significant number of normal party members which will be disastrous for Trump. Many of them will not vote for Harris but will stay at home or go 3rd party.

x.com works for me now, has done last few days.
