US Presidential Election 2024 - Here comes Agent Orange Elect

I heard on the wireless there that voter turnout is crucial. I’m concerned that the most ardent democrats mightn’t be out of bed in time to cast their ballot…of course this is only based on my impression of lads on here.

If you haven’t voted 4 or 5 times at this stage you just don’t care about democracy

The mood music has definitely shifted towards Harris. Positive NYT and Sienna polling along with the Selzer A+ poll in Iowa. It could be that the 3 or 4% undecideds are just now breaking for Harris. Notwithstanding that I’ll go against the grain here and predict a Trump win. Polls are one thing but actual votes cast is another. Almost 70m. Republicans seem to be turning no or low propensity voters out early doors and eating into traditional early Democrat leads especially in places like Nevada. When you ask Americans their 2 biggest issues its economy and immigration. By any metric they are dissatisfied with those. Are those 2 motivations greater than abortion remains to be seen but right now I think there might be more enthusiasm to get the vote out amongst the GOP.

Not against the grain. TFK is firmly in the Trump to win camp as of the weekend.

You disenfranchised me by setting the thread to current affairs.

I didnt realise that. If I had known I’d have realised the added bonus of it.

A lad on the wireless this morning was saying that if either candidate wins Pennsylvania, their chances/odds of going on to win the election go up above 90%. I’ve no idea what the methodology is but it sounded convincing. Pennsylvania is currently a dead heat in the polls, madly enough. I think the USA is a banana republic and its politics is nonsensical gibberish and you can’t really have any faith in the American people, but even at that surely Trump’s increasingly unhinged behaviour towards the end of the campaign has turned enough people off him by now.

Nearly 10 years of unhinged behavior and only at 11th hr they’d be turned off :rofl: Nothing like for example drinking bleach to disinfect Covid or immigrants eating lassie has worked the Oracle to this point.

They should just hold the election in Pennsylvania and not bother with other 49.

Im keeping an open mind until someone can prove that immigrants either did or didn’t ate my dog

Lad on RTÉ this morning said if Harris wins Penn she has 91% chance of winning. If Trump wins Penn it’s 96% chance of winning.

Penn will Tell a lot

I follow the Philadelphia Eagles & have done since Gary Cox started organising tip American football matches in our housing estate in Wexford town in around 1987, so I’m very well placed to comment on Pennsylvania. My understanding is the Dems are very confident they’ve already secured it & Camp Harris might shift focus to one of the other swing states for the last 24 hours of the campaign.

If you take it that there are 7 states in play, a loss of Pennsylvania for either side makes the number of winning combinations available for them drastically reduce.

What’s the first key indicator we need to look out for the results start to come in

Unbelievable to think Sean Penn has that much influence.

People eating their young and speaking in Russian/tongues.

Sean Penn is mightier than the sword.

Will Penn be True Blue?

A real doozy of an example of the chicken shit MANLY MAN at 18 seconds in this clip. He sounds weirdly like a Rangers supporter.
