Paid family leave
Paid sick leave
Free school breakfast and lunch
Collective bargaining rights for public sector workers
Legalised marijuana
Protected women’s right to choose
Banning of ‘forever chemicals’ from water supply
Increased tax credits for low and middle incomes
I could go on and on, but you’re proving my point.

She's absolutely awful. There must be a huge well of candidates that are capable of beating Trump but they keep dredging up turds.She thought her weird manic laughing and attacks on Trump would be enough.
Her and Waltz were a terrible ticket.
Voters saw right through them both.

Those policies make him despised I guessHe was exposed as a bumbling spluttering fool by Vance in the VP debate.
Not bothered what he thinks. This election is the last time I pay serious interest in politics, and from now on I’ll just look out for myself on the assumption that governments can’t solve problems and the electorate doesn’t vote for people who can anyway.
From the Economist - notorious left wing rag
“Some comeback stories are the stuff of political legend. Donald Trump, a convicted felon who sought to subvert the 2020 presidential election, is poised to return to the White House. He will be the oldest man ever to be elected president in America.”
Whatever anyone concerns about immigration, elites, inflation etc I don’t know how any reasonable person can get around the points above. It’s like choosing Rose West as a babysitter because you’re annoyed people who have done an NVQ in childcare.
There's something in the region of 30-40% tarrifs on e lol electric vehicles Trump introduced them AFAIK?The trade war has to happen at some time, you simply can't have cheap foreign goods flooding into your markets at the cost of American jobs and business. While foreign markets remain hostile to American Imports.
This should of been addressed donkeys years ago, before the American economy went tits up.
Trump told Apple, if you want to sell iPhones and ipads in the USA, you have to build them in the USA. He told GM that if you want to sell cars in the USA you've got to build them in the USA.
GM was forced to cancell plans for a mega factory in Mexico, and Apple had to commit to transfer a percentage of its global manufacturing back to the US.
(Just 2 examples)
Yeah providing free feminine hygiene products in schools. Again, what a dick.Tampon Tim?
I think the two elections this year have made that very clear to me.How it should be, look after yourself and your own first and foremost.

JD Vance can’t order doughnuts though, what a champ.
No they’re not neutral they’re pro business but they are one of the more neutral outfits. Most publications make an editorial endorsement.'The Economist' is another publication that jumped on the bandwagon and failed to be neutral. I actually know someone that works there and he would fit in very well on this forum. They endorsed Harris along with a 'who should I vote for quiz' which overwhelmingly only ever gave one answer. Hardly something I would be bragging about as a neutral source. In fact, they are a great case study for the sneering you say doesn't exist.
That would block everything up a treat.Dint he put them in boys toilets ?
The only good thing that comes out of this is that at least Democrats will concede without violence.
That was by no means a given if it went the other way, as we saw the last time, and as Trump had clearly primed the nutters for this time. That's not an echo chamber view, btw, unless you're living in denial of the facts.
The big winners here are the authoritarian strong men; Putin, Kim, Netanyahu, and the like, and the losers are the people who suffer as the result of their policies.
It's not likely to be great for the planet either, I'm afraid. Coal, oil, fracking, and climate change denial are all back with a bang now.
Part of me is beyond caring. I worry for my kids and their future, but I'll be gone before the worst of it, should it come to that.
The best solution is probably to stop worrying about it, ignore the science and the news, and just take the "Who gives a fuck about anyone else", line. It seems to be how it works in general these days.
His law mandated them for all menstruating students, so that could include biologically female students identifying as male and so using male toilets.Dint he put them in boys toilets ?
Remember when people were saying that a Labour win meant it was going to be a new world and were popping the bubbly?
Waking up tomorrow will be exactly the same for me regardless who wins in America.
How much of all of this is due to the internet and social media?
For you, for now, but it remains to be seen how a second Trump term effects global affairs, and it could potentially effect you in various ways. It's not the status quo that's for sure.
Unlikely. Netanyahu, Putin and Xi will be creaming themselves though.Wonder if Starmer is shitting himself?

Everyone in Europe should be concerned and watching Russia closely.Wonder if Starmer is shitting himself?
Lammy's got it covered.Wonder if Starmer is shitting himself?
Does the data actually back that up though? Not looked in depth but the few things I have seen show that most metrics have improved under Biden.
If that's not correct then fair enough but if it’s true how do you get around the issue of people voting based on vibes rather than facts?

Taiwan.Yep.
That's Palestine and Ukraine fucked (more so than they already are/were).
Who else? (apart from America lol)
God, I love the laughing emoji response to a serious post.
There is nothing better at exposing someone as a complete loser who knows he has no other possible response.
It's as close to a win as one can get hereabouts; that brief moment of relief when the pub bore finally shuts up...
