Harris Vs Trump 2024 US Presidential election - read the warning in the OP posted 18/09/24

Yes - so don't give them the oxygen of attention they crave.

Even better, use the Ignore button.

Man you need to stop looking at the polls. For your own peace of mind. Its a coin toss election, probably very slightly favoring Harris. But still quite close. Leave it at that and lay off tracking every piece of data or news article spouting that Trump is gaining with this or that demographic.

The polls have been wrong almost as much as they've been right in the past there's no point losing faith in humanity over them.

This confuses me too. Everyone here would and did call out Biden when he was making doddery gaffs and showing signs of mental and communicative decline in his debate.

But when Trump does his sundown dance, cancels a bunch of events cos he's exhausted and continues to make increasingly bizarre speeches. Crickets from the other side. Worse than that. We get this antagonistic projection and said posters calling out Harris for the slightest of grievances in an attempt to deflect. Or in the best case calling out Harris for grievances that apply tenfold to Trump.

There's only one side of the fence practicing double standards. As the mum often says: If they didn't have double standards they'd have none.

There's a marked difference between having no questions about his mentality and not choosing to question his mentality. If Biden, Harris, Vance or Walz was to stand on a stage for 30 minutes in front of a rally they had called dancing to a music disc they had chosen or even better: if one of those four had started talking about Hannibal Lecter while addressing a rally, would you have said nothing or blinked while the thought was running through your head "there's something off here" causing you to have doubts about them, him or her staying on as a candidate in the race?

Ref his supporters and the group known as centrists, would you have any advice to offer them about supporting a man who believes a "fictional cannibalistic murderer" is an appropriate topic for a candidate to raise at an election rally when he's seeking their approval for 4 years as the president of the US?

“Voters will see that behaviour and know he shouldn’t have the job.”

you would hope but not at all certain at this point- I’m seeing this election as two different types of voters :

one hand, “Republicanism” regardless of “leader” or what he does- in other words, Republicanism or bust - that’s a fcking good good group of people to have on your side.

…and then on the other side, “eh, I’m not entirely sure I like Harris enough to vote for her” or “the economy isn’t doing as good as it could be” or “Harris is a bit too far left for me” -

And this isn’t about Harris either- take any other Democrat candidate and you’ll have the same sh01te coming from the Democrats - stupid whinging and moaning - if Trump wins, the Democrats deserve him - if they’re too thick to see what’s about to potentially happen, then I’ve absolutely no pity on them whatsoever

As requested earlier today, here’s the backup for Trump’s increase in support among young Black and Latino male voters. No feelings, just research from reputable sources. (Not random X hacks or Mediaite)

From the article:

In almost any way we can measure it, Mr Trump is running as well or better among Black and Hispanic voters than any Republican in recent memory.

Additionally, Trump has made his largest gains among young Black and Hispanic voters — especially young Black and Hispanic men.

Overall, he has a 55-38 lead among Hispanic men aged 45 or younger. Ms Harris leads among Black men under 45, but only by 69-27.

Trump seems to attract the class dunces from my interactions with old classmates on social media.

Is that the common trend in Ireland? Not that Ireland matters in the grand scheme of things, but it's an interesting observation.

Yes ..... and now the rest of my question ... you threw in Latin words so you should be able to figure out Trump got a gain overall.

The figures above mean nothing... you could have said Trump has gained massive support from the KKK,

That's fine, and it should never be a situation in a democracy that groups always vote one way.

However, it all depends on where. Little point gaining votes in California for example.

And given Harris is losing support in certain groups, yet still has roughly similar numbers to Biden, that would suggest she is gaining votes in other areas. Such as young women (just an example I don't base that on anything).

Ha, that endorsement is like your mum telling you that you're the handsomest boy in school

Republican congresswoman, Marjorie Taylor Greene, is trying to get in early on the claims that voting machines are deliberately flipping votes toward the Democratic ticket.

Elon Musk appears to be at the same business but his accusations are a little less pointed. He'd probably be a bit less likely to have Dominion therefore go after him, although he could certainly absorb the financial hit. Don't know about MTG.
