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

“He is right, why didn't she and Biden do what she claims she will do if elected? She had nearly 4 Years to do so”

It’s one of the few arguments once you wade through the drivel he comes out with at his rallies - and it’s a standard challenge to those currently in power seeking another term.

I said throughout that Harris needed to make herself look more independent of the current administration - that was a hard task to do given her role in it - whilst it was prudent she aligned herself at the start to gain confidence and the support of Democrats she needed to also break out a bit - whilst she’s performing well on stage and what not and vastly improved , I’m not sure she has “made it her own” or if she has it’s been a while coming and maybe a bit late in the day- them the breaks I guess.

You have a rumoured split in the ethnic minority vote with a number anecdotally at least drifting across to Trump - extraordinary in one way but maybe it shows a Democrat party out of touch with their grass roots namely blue collar workers.

As an outsider I’ve never seen any good reason to vote Trump- but many in America do and that’s all that counts-

“The Democrat supporters on here will have you believe it’s no contest….”

I’ve never listened to them nor have I read 95% of the reams of text they pasted and wrote - the only thing that mattered throughout was polls and performance of both candidates - Harris certainly grew in stature throughout - overall there’s little to fault her - her vagueness on some questions asked didn’t help her at times and likely sowed doubt in some undecided but now I think she’s found her voice a lot more.

It’s clear Europe could do without Trump for another 4 years and I’d be in agreement with that - but America is not Europe and they appear to have a different view. I think Harris will either landslide it or lose - I don’t see a “draw” here - I hope that the support for Trump throughout was merely due to the entertainment value he gave and nothing else but it’s America so you can’t discount him at all.

if its not a significant problem, is it a problem?

personally i think everyone should require an ID to vote.

what certain groups do you think are incapable of getting an ID?

So your position is that the polls slightly over emphasised the 2022 election towards the GOP, that the same is happening here!

Dare I say you will have egg on your face.

I hope he’s right! Trump has certainly been behaving like it’s not going well for him. Not long to wait now.

Do you believe countries that require ID like Ireland, Switzerland, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, etc, etc, etc, do so to make it more difficult for certain groups of people to vote?

Destiny and Gavin Mcinnes having a most cordial (/s) debate centering around the forthcoming US election.

This is more if you like watching people tearing into each other. About 15 percent of this is Mcinnes telling Destiny that he's a cuckold who needs to get out more.

I don't think you are paying close enough attention,.

New York does have some voter ID requirements detailed here:
Registered voters do not need to show ID to vote, unless they did not provide identification with their registration. First time voters must provide identification either on or with their voter registration application

Look at the list you provided for Ireland. Most of them would be ineligible under the Republican proposals.
It is not about preventing voter fraud, it is a deliberate Republican strategy to disenfranchise eligible voters.
And there is simply no credible evidence to justify it.

What the Republicans are looking for is:

A new ID requirement so restrictive that could disenfranchise untold numbers of otherwise eligible Americans this November. The bill, sponsored by Texas Representative Chip Roy and championed by House Speaker Mike Johnson, would go further than any previous voter ID measure. It would require everyone to produce “documentable” proof of their US citizenship before casting a ballot in a federal election. In most instances, that would mean presenting a certified birth certificate (not a photocopy) or an unexpired US passport.

I agree that he has broken pretty much every rule of being on bail, and been allowed to get away with it. I don't think his base will recognise this, and will protest any eventual reckoning, I have no doubt that there will be a reckoning. Unless he wins, which is looking increasingly doubtful.

This is Selzer's previous predictions versus the actual result, She's far more accurate than others

Ususlly his view is informed by talking to his contacts in both campaigns, so I wouldn’t say it’s just a personal view - but I wouldn’t be putting money down!

I just did.

Laws that make it illegal to even ask for Voter ID should be called out
