    Completely agree. Anyone thinking Trump is some political genius who will genuinely better society is a moron.

    Someone throwing in fascist, predictably. The USA was involved in less conflict under Trump than Obama or Biden. Still, you can expect overwrought reactions from someone who watches football like watching a game of chess.

    He really isn’t. He’s incredibly intelligent.

    Then he's an awful public speaker because he comes across as a moron. What have you seen that makes you think he's intelligent?

    They've took a lot of money on Trump and fear the consequences if he wins.As a result of that they've shoved Harris out in the betting to make it look attractive,which it is.

    It's too close to call,there's no evidence that Trump will win this and in normal circumstances we'd be looking at 10/11 against 11/10 either way.

    6/4 Harris is a big price in a 2 horse race?

    Well, he came from a piss-poor Appalachian background to graduating summa cum laude from Ohio State. He then graduated from Yale Law School, one of the most prestigious and competitive universities in the country, if not the world.

    Aside from his academic achievements, it’s clear he’s extremely knowledgable on the topics he talks about. I don’t like him or his politics but he’s objectively very intelligent.

    He's been called much worse...

    I've no idea why someone would label him "A woman hating,neo-nazi-sympathising sociopath" only to break bread with him some years later...

    'Publicly, he called Trump an "idiot" and said he was "reprehensible." Privately, he compared him to Adolf Hitler'.

    Not a complete idiot then.

    You’re right. I’m sure JD Vance would trade his degrees in exchange for the 3rd (or 4th?) most popular Hull City podcast as a sign of his intellect.

    Think so. Abortion is still allowed, just controlled at state level, most big tech with the exception of X is against him, dictatorship- well he served one four year term...

    I think it’s really disappointing that posters are turning this into name calling of each other and makes it a good reason to not have politics threads all the time.
    Also none of these candidates are morons or idiots or thick as ****
    They hold different beliefs or more likely spout different beliefs just to appeal to a different demographic that they need to attract to win
