Irony being that you could probably count the number of actual Biden supporters in this thread on one hand.

It's an Australian forum, what would you expect?

 

[Financialpanther]

It is fascinating that for the many years one party derided the other for not accepting the result of an election and it simply reverses in a matter of days.

 

[Ghost Patrol]

So your saying there is mass voter suppression to help donald trump?

Yes. What if the polls were right?

Trump points at Arizona, so you better be checking Florida too.

Same playbook at Morrison - distraction, deflection, projection.

When you're always winning, you forget how to lose.

 

[Coolangatta]

Trump's still a chance to flip Arizona because they counted a lot of postal votes early?

 

[NSWCROW]

Lol mentally challenged trump voters

So what's it gonna be baby , Spitz or Swallows ?..

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Another slew of votes in from Georgia and Biden 80+% taking keeps on going

True - they had a four year winning streak in presidential elections.

I assume the age requirement applies to the candidates age on Inauguration Day? If so, AOC would only be eligible by ~3 months

Yeah I was wondering about that but couldn't be bothered doing the research - kudos.

 

[Moonwatcher]

How often in US elections do states that have been 'called' end up with the other party winning that state?

 

[Underarm]

Arizona sent mail in ballots to everyone in the state, so they're not seeing the 80% swings to Biden there.

 

[Plugger35]

This seems like sour grapes.

Why are you so invested in (your words) "the Worst President of All Time" to the point that you are annoyed that people are relieved by "the Worst President of All Time" being voted out?

I'm not that invested in Trump, I'm just bemused as to why people are rejoicing about the prospect of an underwhelming candidate like Biden being President.

I could understand if it was a Democrat candidate like Obama or Clinton that had charisma and that people genuinely liked, most people voted for Biden because he wasn't Trump, not because they liked him.

It's an Australian forum, what would you expect?

Agreed.

Plenty of Trump supporters though, and they see dead people Biden supporters everywhere apparently.

Encouraged his supporters to vote twice in North Carolina iirc.

Biden will try to act on climate change for starters.

I'm just here to stimulate the minds of those less fortunate.

It takes a whole village to raise an idiot.

Can think of many better ways for you to stimulate yourself mate

 

[ams4crows]

So is this the radical right?
Trump would be having a fit if this was the reverse, calling them radical left socialist Antifa thugs instead it's these are great true Americans and it's their democratic right to protest

 

[Malifice]

That's not happening without a complete overhaul of the global economy. Neo-liberalism is a failed ideology.

Disagree.

Howard managed it (housing subsidies for the working class encouraging housing ownership, booming economy due to GST and the impact of Hawke/ Keating reforms) and he was a neo-liberal (conservative) in every sense of the word.

He had the 'white, suburban, working class, blue collar' vote, right up until he showed his true colors and attempted to hoist Work choices on them.

Abbot didnt even bother trying to appease that demographic economically when he got into power. Instead he released a budget that effectively screwed them harder by removing protections for workers who lost jobs due to globalisation, nerfing medicare and not doing one thing to help them out while handing out knighthoods to the already wealthy and smoking cigars on the lawn of Parliament house. He was turfed not long after.

If you address the economic conditions of that 'rust belt/ battler' demographic (make home ownership accessible and secure, create employment, have a strong economy) you can win them over without having to blame brown people for all their woes.

You're so transparent, of course you're a Trumpist.

And you answered your own question, there was only one candidate challenging "the Worst President of All Time" (WPOAT), so everyone who wants to see the back of WPOAT will be pleased when (if) he is defeated.

I don't like Biden, but I can't stand Trump. And I don't understand people who support him, given he wouldn't p!ss on any of them if they were on fire.
