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

The Republican party are not the working class party. Have you forgotten that Trump is giving a cabinet position to Musk who is anti union?

Musk is not just anti-union, he is the richest man in the world. Not the richest man in Connecticut, the world.

Working class party my hole.

Well then I think she's the one who gets terminated though I might be mixing up my movie franchises.

Jeff Bezos might want a word on that. Put all there paper wealth in to real currency and Musk be well down

Has anyone told RTE that polls have been opened for weeks now in the States.

This abortion discussion is ridiculous. Abortion laws, whether permissive or restrictive are a legal matter. Abortion is also for a great many people a huge moral issue. Trying to give legal force to your moral views is akin to taking a Theocratic approach to legislation. And highly restrictive laws on abortion are going to produce many individual tragic fatal outcomes, because the law is inevitably a blunt instrument which cannot address all individual circumstances; you just have to leave it to the judgement (including the moral judgement) of individual medical practioners and their patients. Also, banning abortion drives it underground with often disasterous consequences.

I have a feeling that in Ireland many conscientious Catholics who personally disapprove of abortion in most circumstances have seen the futility of using the law to ban it. I am sure that abortion is a trauma for nearly all affected women and being subject to possible criminal sacntions can be just another layer of cruelty.

But cruelty seems to be the hallmark of the Trumpain Republican party.

My position is that they are both abortions.

Have you a source for claiming that 99% are done out of convenience? Because your own link earlier had 1/3 being non-elective

Of course they’re both killings, no one but you seemed confused about that.

Is it still your position that you are against abortions in all cases?

watching, waiting, anticipating.

The party of the working class whose candidate refused to say he would support increasing the federal minimum wage, who is famous for shafting contractors, who praised the worlds biggest public d*ckhead, Elon Musk for breaking unions in his Tesla plant and who bragged about not liking paying overtime.

The Republicans are the party of working class in the same way that BP is the worlds leading company in advocating for green initiatives.

Trump supporters (sorry, not supporters) come out with some stuff on here, but this is some of the best work.

You're not wrong, but MA is around these threads long enough that they know how to make a point while acknowledging reality rather than painting a picture that some people would read and take at face value.

This meme sums up the concern conservative trend setters have when it comes to workers and how to use them for things under than work.

It is very intentional I'm posting this version of the meme as it depicts the famous immigrant to America, Rupert Murdoch and we all know the impact he has had on our various societies the last 50 years.

KY is here on 538,

This snake-map stacks the states by the chance either candidate will win them based on its model, if you care about that sort of thing.

I definitely don't foresee him losing SC or KY for example but if Iowa is correct in that Selzer poll, it's going to be a very bad night for Trumpers.

That said of course it's not necessarily the case even if the IA poll is correct that it means every state to the left of it on the chart goes for Harris, like TX and FL. If it did, it would be curtains for Trump:

The other weak red state being Ohio, I've heard a lot of reports about it lately, a lot of anxious Trumpers making scenes at the polls etc., it might not be as red as the polls think, but who knows TM.

NPR/Marist poll showing Harris 4 points ahead nationally.
