Harris will not speak to the press?

The markets are loving this news

[joeysteele]

Ugh.
What a depressing start to the day.

The only good thing is that in three and a half years the next presidential election process will be in full swing and thankfully this man cannot be a candidate ever again for the Presidency.

I do have to concede that he is an individual who it's hard to work out what he may do.
Which he can be positive or negative on, so a slim hope may be that he seeks to be far better this time

Genuinely did not think this would happen. Hopefully no more world wars come of this result. It’s scary times for sure

@DavidLammy

Congratulations to @RealDonaldTrump on your victory.

The UK has no greater friend than the US, with the special relationship being cherished on both sides of the Atlantic for more than 80 years.



We look forward to working with you and
@JDVance
in the years ahead.

I think I actually dislike his running mate Vance as much as I do Trump.
He comes across really slimey.

[Vanessa]

Im so happy. Great result. I'm sure the time will come for a female president. But not yet.

[joeysteele]

I hope he's MADE to act with more responsibility and decency.
However I won't hold my breath.

I guess one claim to fame he has, is he can beat women but not men.

He is Deal Maker,
a Businessman


That's why America Voted him back in

[Crimson Dynamo]

They tried to jail him

They tried to kill him

The whole of the MSM were against him

But with God on his side and the great American people he won

The result is part of the same pattern seen across the world: governments being voted out as countries deal with the after effects of the pandemic... inflation etc.

Yeah essentially incumbent governments are being voted out everywhere. The US isn't as unique as either it thinks or the rest of the world seems to think. Seeing everyone in the UK and Europe raging about how Americans voted is mental imo, they're just normal people facing and responding to very similar challenges as everywhere else in the West

I agree, I think there's lots of "protest" type voting going on all over in western countries.

Yes Everything going up in Price.

Harris did not do Policy - Pathetic Coward
not even speaking to the press

[The Slim Reaper]

After 50 years of neoliberal destruction of living standards by the right, in cahoots with the smug centrists that parrot their policies but without the frothing fervour, people have had enough.

Trump ran to the left of the democratic candidate on issues like war. Refusal to separate herself from Biden, despite the fact he had to drop out because he'd reached insane levels of unpopularity, was the stupidest move of all time.

They gave people nothing to vote for, except arrogance.

The exact same thing is coming here. We have 2 parties in agreement that nothing should ever be better for everyday people, which has only ever paved the way for extremism. I've warned about this on here for years.

At the end of the day, it's democracy in action. Not every result goes the way people think/want it to. It's certainly going to be different. I disagree about the main driver being the pandemic. This result is much deeper rooted and relates to voters dissatisfaction going back well over a decade. The pandemic didn't help the dems, but this is about rebelling against an environment of acceptance and tolerance that does not reflect the views of 50% of the population

Yeah, the pandemic and all the rules that came with it certainly heightened those feeling amongst people though imo

i would actually go further because Trump found new voters above what people thought was his natural ceiling, and I think that is because his opponent was a black woman tied to the progressive left of the dems which became a focal point for trump voters to further rebel against

She is not part of the progressive left. If she'd offered some left wing policies, she would have had a better chance.
