I’ll go first.

I expect this to be the same as 2020, but North Carolina might flip blue.

Right up until about a month or two ago, I was very convinced Trump was going to take it, but honestly both sides seem less interested in their own candidate and just voting against the other. There appears to be some big enthusiasm among women in places with abortion bans, so that could turn the tide, but also Harris has pissed off everyone vaguely left and essentially every Muslim.

I’m gonna call it for Trump, but I’m not confident anymore.

If Kamala does win, I think any sort of J6 shit is out of the question. The petite bourgeois that participated last time realized (due to all the arrests) its not a good idea to piss off the feds, and the dems will put out a biiiiiig show, complete with tanks on the front lawn of the white house, to show how “ready” they are.

Whoever wins, there will be minor squabbles about how it was stolen, and then things will move on quickly, aside from conspiracy theorists and resistance reddit libs.

Even when there is no prospect whatsoever of their being elected, the workers must put up their own candidates in order to preserve their independence, to count their forces, and to bring before the public their revolutionary attitude and party standpoint.

I really don’t get that point - does the American left wing really thing Trump would be a better choice? Do American Muslims think that Trump will support Israel less?

your problem is that you think people have 2 choices when in really they have 4, vote dem/rep, vote 3rd party or not vote at all. If someone pisses you off they arent owned your vote and honestly you shouldnt vote for them.

your last 2 points, just shows that people actually have no control over the goverment since its an oligarchic duopoly and not a democracy so why even participate then

Choice 1: Harris

Choice 2: Trump

Choice 3 / 4: Someone who has no chance to win (new parties have to get more influencal at local levels before having any chance to win) = doesn’t change anything about the result = not voting = only a valid choice if you think Harris and Trump are equally bad

But yes your democratic system really is flawed. I expect Harris to win the popular vote while Trump wins the electoral college but hope for the best - Trump has proven already that he only cares about money (eg tax cuts for rich people)

Do we live in the same reality? I mean, the first part was pretty accurate, but that second paragraph? That’s straight up fantasy world shit lol
