    Depends what you believe a lot of fixing claims from that 2020 election, was in the height of Covid so you weren’t required to turn up to vote and it took days to count extra votes iirc? I think you’re right though, surely the democrats can muster up someone better than Biden or Harris. Biden didn’t know what day of the week of it was half the time and I know I mentioned it earlier but I still think Harris just looks very scripted every time she talks.

    Our Mam always told us not to get too clever and think we know it all …

    … the human race has done that and there’s no going back.

    We had a great little planet but we’ve ruined it and we aren’t capable of putting it back together. The only chance is for a virus to wipe out all humans and let nature recover. What we see as progress is the exact opposite.

    Back to my bubble ….

    Sky News pointing out that there are some usually Democrat counties where Trump has won by a large margin. Interesting.

    X is one of the worst things to ever happen to humanity. Not even hyperbole.

    Yeah I honestly think that's fair. It's an absolute cesspit where people go to get stupider and angrier.

    The main people at the Democrats only have themselves to blame. Left it way too late to tell Biden he shouldn't run and then somehow trotted out an even worse candidate. How on earth do you lose counties like these? Losing the Hispanic, Black, Muslim and Jewish vote all in the same election takes some doing.

    Yep. Absolutely incredible. Counties like those going heavy Trump is absolutely incompressible.

    Rob Schneider is interviewing on ITV with those two knackers we’ve unfortunately sent to represent us and the first thing he says is..

    “Of course I’m celebrating but first I have to talk about Medhi Hasans continual slandering of our president, it’s that’s kind of elitist nonsense.. I mean coming from Hasan who’s called homosexuals “****files” and non-Muslims “animals”.. Suzanna getting it through her earpiece to get straight in there to cut him off before he continued, hell on :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    They’ll sit there on a British broadcasting channel waffling one way nonsense but someone challenges them and they can’t take it. This is the problem with mainstream media.

    Yeah, I mean there are obviously editorial restrictions on the mainstream media and areas of discussion they tend to shy away from. The problem with non-mainstream media is that its almost always heavily politically extreme, subject to little editorial overview, usually run by crackpots, and intended to promote one heavily biased narrative.

    Agree with that mate, although I’m not so sure mainstream itself is any different now though in whom they choose to allow on their panel, that’s the point I’m trying to make. Given, it’s obviously not bots like social media but they hand pick who they want to help push their agenda.

    There's definitely bias but they are subject to some degree of overview which means they can't stray too far. So, I think you're better off absorbing a range of mainstream stuff because that will get you closer to the 'truth' than any of the more shadowy media will.

    Nobody knows it all and never will, pandering to minorities will never appease the many. Harris has just found that out.

    You will be in good company.

    I would like to think that it will all change in four years time, but I expect that Trump will try to change the Law that now sttes that a President can only have two terms.
