Who will your husband vote for this election?

Husband is voting for Harris on Nov. 5. He never misses an election, including primary elections.

Thanks for your response.

Google can be your friend. Try it, and you will discover that she won multiple elections on her way to becoming attorney general of the largest state of the country and then a senator.

Orange man, on the other hand, won a single election in his lifetime, where he won a minority of the votes cast.

Not keeping up with the news, huh?

Elon says we’re going to take a hit. Feel free to Google it. He said the tough times will only be for a couple years. It’s going to be an even bigger pinch, my friend. I suggest you follow the news more closely before voting. There’s tons of articles on it including on NBC and Rollinv Stone.

And WSJ, that left wing rag that’s in the tank for Harris, has this to say.
“ Whoever wins the White House next week will take office with no shortage of challenges, but at least one huge asset: an economy that is putting its peers to shame.”

Absentee harvesting in MI, PA, GA, WI hands Kamala the win. That’s literally all it boils down to. The election is already over.

you do realize that "trump and his economy" were riding on the wave of 8 years of Obama, right? I mean please tell me you don't think Trump did anything for the economy... except for that nifty new tax code where the middle class actually pays more.

Here is another unexpected way in which Trump’s past haunts him. TikTok reintroduces the old “locker room talk” to gen Z who are too young to remember.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2024/10/31/tiktok-trump-access-hollywood-gen-z/
“It’s been eight years since leaked audio from a conversation between Donald Trump and TV host Billy Bush made waves for the former president’s descriptions of kissing and grabbing women without their consent.
Now, young people are encountering the tape for the first time on TikTok, where users are sharing videos of their reactions and, in some cases, reaching large audiences.”
“I don’t think any of my friends had heard it,” said Kate Sullivan, a 21-year-old student in Ohio who heard the tape for the first time on her TikTok For You feed this week. “We all felt equally shocked.”
People her age have less tolerance for sexual misconduct after growing up amid a series of high-profile harassment and assault cases involving major celebrities, Sullivan said. She immediately felt compelled to share the audio in her own video, with the superimposed text, “Fathers are voting for this man.” The video has been viewed 2.5 million times and was reshared by singer Billie Eilish to her 68 million followers.
Brigid Quinn, a 15-year-old in Georgia, knew that Trump had been accused of making sexist comments, she said. But she had never heard the words he actually said — including the ‘grab them by the pussy’ quote. She “didn’t understand how people thought this was normal.”

Continuing with the story:
She made her own video featuring Trump’s audio in hopes her school friends of voting age would see it.
“I’m around a lot of [18-year-olds] on my sports team, and I thought maybe I could show them who to vote for,” she said. Some people came up to her at school saying her TikTok was the first they had ever heard of the tape.

Yes! This is my 20 year olds first presidential election. She was 12 in 2016. And we were turning off the TV and radio whe this was discussed. There seemed to be no point in exposing her and her 10 year old sibling (also a first time voter). And she didn’t get her first cell phone (smart phone) until after the election. We said 7th grade, but we held it a few months because the election rhetoric was so nasty. She started 7th with her ES flip phone and got my 2 year old iPhone for Christmas.

I was not sure at the time how much I was actually protecting my then 6th grader from. But apparently it worked well enough, because she says she’s hearing this for the first time. She knew in 2020 (still too young to vote) that he had said stuff about assaulting women. But, there was so much Trump chaos, it didn’t break through. Now, she’s actually hearing the recording for the first time. She was almost certainly always going to vote Harris- Dobbs is huge for her and her friends. But the recording has popped back up and is definitely making ots way around her campus. Her younger brother is also a Harris voter, but the tape isn’t making as big a splash among his male friends. Again, not shocked.


Interesting and sad to me. Because I did think I was protecting my kids from Trump in 2016– because he would go away. I had no idea we would be on our third Trump election in 2024. And because I am Gen X. I heard the tape in 2016, rolled my eyes and thought “typical”. Her generation is furious. And shocked he got elected the first time with this tape out there.

I would vote a moderate R over someone like Bernie Sanders 100% of the time. But Trump just crosses a line. I just don’t understand the logic of someone voting for him let alone the real potential he might win.

Just the fact that I can’t logically fathom how someone could vote for Trump makes me think or want to think Harris will win. But when she doesn’t I think the cognitive dissonance is going to just shock us all.

The reason why it can be a landslide for Trump is precisely that it is so close. If there is a polling miss of just 2%, Trump could win 300 EVs. But the same thing goes in the other direction for Harris. Models estimate that there is a 60% chance that either Trump or Harris will win in a blowout and that will be the best outcome for America. A definitive result.

I am incredibly hopeful for a definitive result either way.

Trump on Liz Cheney: "Let's put her with a rifle standing there with 9 barrels shooting at her. Let's see how she feels about it. You know, when the guns are trained on her face."

Maga Yiu did this I hope you get all that is coming you complete and utter sub humans.

You think he’s boot coming for you!

Yes. But there is also the bad case scenario. Harris narrowly wins the Electoral College - MI, PA, and WI only gets her 270. That's it. It's not a blowout. It could be that Trump wins the popular vote and loses the election

In which case, I expect long lines to Canada. Because that brings serious instability.

Both Harris and Trump present governance, economic and national risks but in different ways.

It is easy to foresee a Harris presidency being one where America loses its ability to influence global affairs. Where America is regularly tested on the global stage. Where the country is constantly being affected on by external events and actors and where the predominant political talking point is that the President has limited power or control, ergo what can you expect the [name your topic] is not the fault of the most powerful person in the world who has a history of poor executive management and who has not committed to any specific policy except to increase taxes and increase spending.

On the other hand, there is Trump with the obvious existential risks and issues.

Both will be extremely unpopular Presidents.

The only effective mitigation is a divided government with a legislative branch that is willing and able to reign in executive power applying a seriousness of purpose.

This is why a lot of folks are ticket splitting this year. Harris can’t apply far left policies with a GOP Congress.

As Obama said, Trump’s Economy was really Obama’s economy. The one that he fixed after Bush. Then Biden had to fix Trump’s disaster.
