If Trump loses this one, it's the greatest political own-goal since (and second only to) Hillary

He's made early cries of 'massive cheating' in Philadelphia. That's not what his suppprters want to hear, in the context of actually winning the election.

Looks like a Trump win forthcoming.

Harris ran a good campaign and surprised me. Ultimately, Biden holding on for too long when he clearly wasn’t fit (which Harris is complicit in) cost them, I think

I'm still staggered that in in that country, they come up with these two as the candidates... astonishing really, given leaders they've had prior (on both sides)

yeah, it all went downhill with Trump v Hillary.

Then Biden v Trump

Then Biden/Harris v Trump

definitely a race to the bottom over there

Looks like the Donald has won, although there will be legal fights which is ironic I guess

Honestly don’t think there will be much of that this time around. I don’t think it’ll be close enough to be wrangling over vote counts.

Got to hand it to Trump. He is not my cup of tea, but he really took advantage of how stupid the radical left was/is and so on. It is hard to recall a winner who has overcome the force of negativity of the media the way he does.

It really is interesting, and as you note I think people the world over are thoroughly sick of the radical left

The weird thing is the radical left aren’t actually in power anywhere- they sure weren’t in the US.

What are they doing that’s so radical? Just looks like standard centre left Labour Party stuff to me, about as radical left as the current Australian government.
Saying the prisons are full and letting rapists and peados out who done 40% of sentence and then sending people to prison for faacebook comments or protesting and not just the thugs who did riot.

And many call our government ‘hard right’… we’ve lost perspective, but certainly the left with their version of cancel culture, control, micro aggressions etc has become tedious imo.

Our government is weird. I’d say Luxon dog whistles as a kind of progressive, but is leashed by one party that parades as socially conservative but economically liberal, and another party that parades as economically conservative but socially liberal. That’s MMP, I suppose
