2024 US Presidential Election

I just feel like I’ve seen a lot of predictions/polls putting it as red, and it’s not really being discussed as much as the other battleground states.
Thats true, but I think thats more the narrative of the moment than a reflection of Georgia's chances vs North Carolina or whatever
 
I keep coming back to Trump's press conference last week, where they had a display of food to illustrate inflation and he got hungry

 
The begrudging/obligatory crowbarring of a Chappell Roan song onto this otherwise bulletproof ”I have not listened to a new song since 1984” playlist. :D

You know they tried to push for something off 'brat' and got a firm but friendly rebuke.

As meticulously curated as his annual playlists clearly are, I tend to think Obama genuinely is just a big music guy. Forcing GRANDPA PIG FARMER to make an identikit playlist just feels cruel. He’s 60! Let him have his Grateful Dead records!

Obama confirmed that his staffers just played him current songs and he just said if he liked any of them.
 
You just know that he still tells people that ‘When Doves Cry’ has no bassline at parties to try and demonstrate his in depth grasp of contemporary music.
 
He’s getting desperate

Fucking hell.


That’s also a mistake, because now she HAS to come out and denounce him. She might have kept quiet up until now.

Unless of course he’s bowing to the rumours that she’s appearing at the DNC tomorrow. Wouldn’t that be something. Beyonce also rumoured but that would be less of a shock.

Apparently he’s also been sharing a fake picture of Harris standing next to a Communism poster, so he’s gone full propaganda now. Just gruesome. And quite dangerous.
 
He's just a THICK BOOMER who's easily fooled. Alan Sugar used to share quite obviously fake stuff as well with captions like "outrageous" and "is this true?"
 
Surely he’s AWARE Taylor hasn’t actually endorsed him though, and the implications of claiming she has? Unless he’s actually TOO FAR GONE mentally. I’d hate to be a member of his campsign team this morning. I simply wouldn’t show up to work!
 
So many of his former staffers now have sweet jobs as talking heads on panel shows - that's probably the primary aim for most of them at this point. Stick it out for a year or so, pick up enough crazy anecdotes and dine out on it for the rest of your career.

She's performing at Wembley tonight and tomorrow night, so that'd be some sorcery even by her WICKED standards.

We all know she hates that man and the "politics" he drives but I wouldn't be surprised if she played her cards closer to her chest after last week's Vienna cancellations.
 
Bloody hell I knew she was in London today and I didn't put two and two together :D she could do a video message I suppose. That would still be huge.
 
Democrats are having so much fun. it's almost unnerving how quickly the tables have turned...
 


Charli xcx is to Harris what Fleetwood Mac were to Clinton.
 
Also can't be overstated how perfect it is that they went for Charli and her "lmao wtf ok work" energy and not one of the socially aware ones who would start ranting about DRONE STRIKES or something.
 
This just SCREAMS lawsuit no?!?

Swift absolutely loathes Trump - there’s a great behind the scenes video where she is talking with her family about the dangers of speaking out against him for her safety and her career - but she is very passionate about the need to do so, especially from a women’s rights angle which is all the more prominent at this election. I am expecting a public denouncement now, at the very least.
 
I know we can't really say much but American politics is fucking WILD. It's like a game show.
Especially since Trump has been involved. American politics have always been a mess but this last decade has been almost too much.
 
Americans live for the spectacle and razzle dazzle so this is all in a day's work. It must look even more wild to the British. Americans love to, in the words of someone very wise:

Our special relationship is indeed very “special”

Sometimes America is our great aunt, she means well and tries to look after everyone but isn’t someone you would introduce to your friends

And sometimes they’re your pyromaniac nephew who drinks 20 cans of Monster a day and has been court ordered to never leave the house again
 
Apparently she has SEVERAL notable republicans appearing at the DNC tonight to endorse her.

This is an important message I think. Not just for this election but for the future of America’s democracy. The middle ground and moderate republicans need to come out of the woodwork and reclaim their party. And it will help her win the swing states she needs.
 
On the polling, things seem to have slowed down a bit (we’ll see if the DNC makes a difference) but the interesting thing is every state inching left, which helps with states like Georgia and NC.

Based on likely and safe leans, Trump still has way more paths to 270. He only needs about 4 swing states (less if he gets PA) but Kamala needs almost all of them.

If she can flip either NC or Georgia or preferably both, she has a much easier time. She doesn’t need PA then, as long as she gets the other swings which are already leaning her way.
