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

How juvenile. And who are these people who say their candidate’s victory is assured? I’ve only seen Trumpers declaring that for their candidate here, ‘he will win at a canter’ etc.

I can't see it. It's not that Trump is a better candidate (he's not), but that I just can't see Harris getting enough support on the day to get her over the line.

actual union workers, or Trump supporters playing pretend again:

In multiple instances Trumps campaign has given away ‘unions for Trump’ styled shirts away to rally goers but upon being interviewed those wearing them admit they aren’t union workers at all

At the event, headlined by vice presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance, more than a dozen attendees could be seen wearing the T-shirts. Some of them were stationed in a featured spot behind Vance as he spoke. However, six fessed up that while they did support Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, they were not actually autoworkers, The Detroit News reported.

Spectators Carl Leonard and Terry Flannery said they were given the shirts by Brian Pannebecker, the founder of Auto Workers for Trump and a former Ford Motor Co. assembly line worker, the News reported. The newspaper has previously described Pannebecker as Trump’s “go-to Michigan auto worker.”

A similar deception was perpetrated during Trump’s speech to autoworkers in September 2023. Some in the crowd were shills carrying signslike “Union Members for Trump” and “Auto Workers for Trump” when they were nothing of the sort.

What I want to know is how the attitudes of these posters on an Irish forum will have directly led to any outcome.

I think it's safe to say most voters in the US presidential election have never heard of boards.ie so won't see anything online.

Given it is an Irish forum most posters are unlikely to be interacting with enough voters offline to impact the election.

what’s the big “her emails” scandal for Harris?

Where is the fake accent or pandering bottle of hot sauce?

Where’s the surprise medical episode where she’s dragged off into a van?

The comparisons to Hillary are a bit off the mark.

Most Taylor Swift fans are Christian girls, and they're all for Trump. She has 300m followers, and only 11m liked her Insta Post endorsing Harris. She's a nobody in this race. Lives in a world of her own, it's why she turned off all comments on all her social media a long time ago, she avoids reality, avoids the push back.

She only got 11 million likes.

To be fair, if even a fraction of that 11 million were inspired to vote for Harris where they otherwise might not have participated at all, you'd have to say the endorsement was good value.

And I've said before that I'm not a fan of the Democrats' preoccupation with celebrity endorsements as it can seem like a poor substitute for actual grassroots campaigning at times, but Swift is such a name that it's a no-brainer to get her behind you all the same.

Muslims for Trump is a bit like LGBTs for Gaza.

This is the contrarian attitude I was talking about.

No interest in advocating for a positive outcome, just motivated by the desire to see the group they don't like annoyed or upset.

If you could bottle bitterness and begrudgery, Ireland would be one of the worlds leading producers.

it’s odd alright but Trump won’t pass up a chance to get votes in - remember he lost a number of states last time by the narrowest of margins - under 11k votes - he doesn’t need the entire Muslim community in America to vote for him- but if he can get certain influential imams on stage in swing states, that could lead to 10,000 votes and that could win that state for him - job done!

Hypocrites, and another crowd still stuck in 2016.
