They will start again with “it was rigged” and continue the big lie. Most of the Trumpers here are just aged Orange fan boys from the UK. Sat up in “Nakhon Nowhere”  one foot in the grave bored off their mind.
 

They can’t vote for him, and nothing that happens in America will affect them directly. He is just a foil for their bigotry and xenophobia no Tory can’t substitute for. 

 

 

The ground will be getting ploughed, leveled, rolled and seeded ready for claims of 'yet another steal'.

 

Hopefully the brain cells from the oath keepers et al have noted the prison sentences handed down and will think twice before trying another J6......not that anything happened re: J6....it was just people walking about....MTG!

This is what it looks like. It's a pretty clear indication of how Trump treats people, once they have served his purpose.

 

I would love it if Harris served the photo up at the debate, just to show what a moral vacuum he is.

Whatever Trump might be, Harris will be twice as bad.

I hate do-gooders, when they are brainless, self-serving zealots, like Harris.

 

For one thing, Harris does not possess anywhere near the brainpower to even attempt to improve quality of life and wellbeing for anyone, even on a small scale, much less on a large scale.

 

I am not afraid of the religious-right, as you call them.

What are they, anyway?

Nothing!

 

I will not vote for Harris. Harris gained her present position through some backroom dealing, during the past 12 months, knowing that Biden could never run.

I will not vote for anyone associated with such a GIANT SCAM.

 

Neither Trump nor Harris will have much impact on what happens in coming years.

Therefore, I choose not to vote for a holier-than-though huckster, like Harris.

I would rather vote for an unapologetic Trump!

 

Then, let the chips fall where they may.

 

At least, I will not feel like a victim of the Dem-Party-System...!

 

 

 

 

Nobody can deny your democratic right to vote Trump. Will you accept the election result if the outcome is not favorable to you. Trump has already said he only will accept the election outcome if he win. What’s your position.

He could throw a serious wobbler....... thinking this is his last chance........nothing to lose, especially if he thinks prison time is also in the offing.

And, this is my point.

It's already too late to alter our collective path to 5 degrees C about baseline within, and before, 2080.

Positive Feedback loops are already kicking in; They will be unstoppable.

 

Therefore, it will be best for me, and best for you, too, just to follow Project 2025.

I will...

And...

Maybe it's time for you, too, to get on board, and get with the program!

 

Common sense dictates that if we do nothing about Climate Change, once 5 degrees is breeched, then we head to 6 degrees and above.

 

At 5 degrees, people in the Third World die in large numbers. Above 5 degrees, you and I are in danger.

 

So, following Project 2025's abandonment of the fight against Climate Change is literally insane.

Actually, at just 2 degrees C above baseline, we are ALL in danger, and life is not sustainable.

This is my point.

We simply CANNOT avoid passing through 2 degrees, and reaching 3 degrees, before many of you have reached your expiration date.

Many of you will be alive to see 2.5 degrees C above baseline, and also, for the younger guys here, 3 degrees C above baseline.

 

But, even before this, the catastrophic changes in climate, together with heat induced famine, and much more, are likely to set off a nuclear exchange with Russia or Pakistan-India, or China.

 

We will be toast, soon enough.

This is why I am keeping calm about who the final "winner" will be in November.

 

IF there was one candidate for whom I had just a little bit of respect, then I would be more caring about not voting for Trump.

But, since I have a choice between Harris and Trump, then I will vote for Trump.

 

I will not vote for Harris, as I have already mentioned.

And, anyway, very soon, just like the rest of us, she will feel the heat.

And then, it will be too late.

Good.

 

Seems that back in the day when there was still time to act, nobody was reading Ehrlich's book, one of many written for thinking individuals.

We will certainly mitigate some of the effects of Climate Change. Unless an idiot like Trump is elected.

 

Your position is that we're all going to die from Climate Change, so might as well vote for Trump, so we die more quickly.

 

Incredibly stupid position.

Trump can be very stupid.

 

He needs union votes to win Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan.

 

After his remarks, he is in danger of losing Ohio.

 

This may be an electoral blowout.

Read my post above. Four years ago she couldn't even find a single delegate, few months ago she scored the lowest of all VP's ever in the polls, but today she's Americas idol? Something just doesn't add up

Everything changes. Things evolve. She has become a far better candidate, Trump has declined cognitively, fatigue is setting in, as people are getting tired of his nonsense and lies, and he has shown he is incapable of adapting to change. And she has picked a VP candidate who people genuinely like. Of all four people on the ticket he is the one I like the most. A very smart pick. And she is running the campaign well. 

 

Alot can happen between now and then, but I see Trump melting down even more and the stress of all this will likely contribute to his further decline.

Unfortunately, it is most of the population of the US which is out of touch, at this time, just as it has been for many decades.

 

Most of the US population has been out of touch on every single important issue that is facing the USA.

 

Yes, my perspective is far different than that of most Americans.

For one thing, I am older and have a longer perspective on American history, through direct experience, than most.

 

Also, even more importantly, I am a genius compared to most Americans.

This is true.  Musk may be more of a genius than I, but Musk has 12 children and I have zero.  Therefore, I am the smarter genius.

 

There are just too many inconvenient truths that most Americans are not able to see, or acknowledge.

Why is this?

One reason is that these more reality-based perspectives are threatening to the American way of life.

Also, Americans are in denial.

And, as Festinger taught us, and showed us, and demonstrated:   Too much reality causes high stress, and most people must change their views in order to reconcile them in ways that they are not in opposition.

 

So, yes, you are right, and I am not "in touch" with the average American's perspective on life, which is continually becoming an ever-more brown perspective, as immigration speeds up.

 

America as I once knew it is completely gone.

 

Therefore, either Trump or Harris, and let the best of these women win.

But, I will never vote for Harris as I prefer Trump.  Trump is more refreshing.  And, Trump never lied to himself.  He always knew what he was doing.  Harris?  She lies to herself, even.

 

 

The map of states is showing that Harris wins if the election were held today, on the basis of Wisconsin Michigan and Pennsylvania going Blue.

 

That's with Arizona and Nevada still TBD, we need more polls there. Georgia is one swing state that Trump might take. But, Trump is going to have to fight for North Carolina and Ohio.

 

What is never discussed here is the Democratic ground game, which may have one million volunteers as the Election nears. That is going to be worth some points in the swing states.
