      He is the only one who can defeat Trump, you guys convinced me! A vote for Harris is a vote for Trump!

      I don’t expect either side to take it gracefully. Which is probably the desired result, even more distraction for the masses that way.

      It’s really hard to say. I could see the strategy of appealing to young men by telling them Trump and project 2025 are going to ban porn on top of the abortion issue pushing Kamala over the edge but right now I think Trump has an atomically small edge and seems ever so slightly more likely to win given how bad economic conditions are for working people and the tendency of Americans to change parties over things like that. Even if Trump loses if it’s close enough they can just pull a 2000 and steal it with lawyers and the Supreme Court so he has that going for him as well. Bourgeoisie in the tech sphere seem to be for Trump with Bezos and Musk seeming at least neutral or in Musk’s case all in.

            Well i was just thinking about it from like the vibes. Like both bases of support would be freaking out. America would probably have massive civil unrest or something before congress even got to weigh in.

                  Remember that the currents north of Hawaii flow eastward, so you’ll probably want to sail south-southwest to avoid getting blown back to yankeeland.

      No, they’re going to double down on pro Israel talking points and blame the Tankies and our *check notes* belief that humans shouldn’t be genocided, for not voting for genocide enough.

          It really depends. If the actual left can keep the pressure on and keep Palestinian genocide loud enough that the media HAS to cover it, they’ll handwringingly side with Trump, otherwise they’ll try to ignore it as much as possible and use the same tactics they use when covering police murdering minorities when they absolutely MUST cover it.

        It’ll be a tough decision. Do they immediatly start opposing it and have to awkwardly state at their shoes when people ask why they dont have a problem doing it while Biden is still president or do they wait until January and have the same awkward reaction when people ask why this wasn’t a problem 25 hours ago but it is now.

          They will go with "We opposed Biden doing it, but with Biden we had the chance to push him left! We should have just given Harris everything she wanted, and then push her left! It’s worked so well in the past!

          They’re going to immediately pretend that they have always felt this way. Don’t you know that we’ve always been at war with Eurasia?

          Edit: I lost the plot in the response, I still agree with my original comment but I’m leaving this one for posterity lol. My original point is that the liberals will keep spouting pro Israeli propaganda and blame pro Palestinian activists for the loss, completely ignoring that the Dems continue to move right over and over leaving the progressive portion of their base behind in pursuit of stealing Republican votes.

            Yep, Trump will say that he supports Israel, and liberals will act like they’ve supported palestine this whole time, relying on some vague meaningless statements by Harris.

      Unfortunately since trump is probably gonna win, we’re gonna have at least a month of liberal meltdowns pointing the fingers at russia, the green party, muslims, etc.

      I just wish Trump(or whoever gets elected) goes insane and sanctions every country on earth. That way we can finally stop seeing the USD being used to fund fascists and rightoids in Latin America.
