OT: Current Affairs and Politics

[MarkInTheStands]

It has been interesting to see the polls over the last few months,

Before Harris entered the race you would have a margin of error close to 1 point. Since she drew level the margins of error seem to be growing, last week's CNN polls had a margin of error at 4.5 points.

Are you able to articulate for us what some of Michelle Obama's policies and outcomes might be in this imaginary election campaign and presidency from 2028 and 2032??

It'll be slight variations on this 2024 policy platform: https://democrats.org/where-we-stand/party-platform/

And this 2012 policy platform: https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/2012-democratic-party-platform

Both of which are miles ahead of the Trump/Republican policies of... attack sleepy Joe and try to fear-monger about Kamala being up to the job etc.

How's it looking friends? Any trends yet? I find this thread to be at least as reliable as any of the news outlets and at the very least there's merkins arguing both sides which is a damn site better than most.

It's 7pm in New York and polls don't close until 9pm. That's the east coast. It's only 4pm in LA. Go for a walk merkin.

And the "exit polls" the TV channels will talk about until results start to come through won't necessarily mean squat, as so many US people voted ahead of election day this time... an increasing trend in all elections here as well it seems.

I reckon 3pm is when we'll be able to see how vote counts on things that matter - the 7 "swing states", a share of which are needed for either candidate to claim victory - are starting to pan out.

Let’s face it, they are both dunces, unfortunately I have never seen a candidate like Harris who if everyone was honest is basically out of her depth and hopeless. She appears to be someone who will eventually make way for Michelle Obama, looks obvious I think.

Trump has some idea but seems impossible for him to stay on track. Whoever wins it will be a nightmare given the agendas being run by both camps.

from that analysis it looks like there is a candidate who might be hopeless and one that has proven to be hopeless
