Motor City Sonics Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 1 minute ago, Hongbit said: Another thing this election has changed for the future will be the acceptance of online betting markets as a reliable predictor. These markets have been calling this for over a year with barely any wavering. Even when the polls were saying Harris, the betting line may have moved but it never flipped from Trump. I’m not sure they will replace polling as the main predictor but they are clearly no longer an afterthought anymore. Oh, just always bet on the most hate-filled and bigoted candidate.

LaceyLou Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 As a person who lives in a state that tends to pay more to the federal government than it receives back in services, I have to ask the people (mostly in red states) who benefit: Does this mean you don't want our money any more? And if that's the case, can we have the money we've already sent back? I hate that I'm thinking this way. That said, that's what they voted for.

It means nothing to be except a 12:30 football game that we always seem to lose, even when we're good. Other than that, I have no use for it these days.

Yes, all those Anti-Socialsm people who take disability (when they can work), or welfare or unemployment. Send back that stimulus money or you're a fraud.

Well then why has Anti-Semitic attacks gone through the roof since he announced his candidacy in 2015? He was already blaming Jews if he lost. Results would not have been the same with a Male candidate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a family member who complains about Socialism, but he's been collecting Disability for more than 20 years, but builds decks on the side. I'm gonna rat him out now.

RatkoVarda Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 I think the future of Gaza Strip, West Bank and maybe parts of Lebanon over the next few years will be further annexation by Israel , establishment of a DMZ, and then Bibi will move settlers in. Trump branded beach front condos being built in Gaza is not that far fetched Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only Trumper in our family cheated on his wife (my neice) and now shes getting a divorce. Typical MAGA! My whole family is now either anti-Trump or disinterested.

LaceyLou Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 That said, I have to make plans. I'd already decided to become more active in transit and housing groups, but looks like my plan to work with FEMA won't be happening. I don't know how much I can do, but I'd like to see if I can preserve some of the sense of empathy and services that exist in my state.

As soon as Drumpf takes office, he will suddenly be given credit for how good the economy is, and how much inflation is slowing down.

I think so but also other cultural issues such as gay marriage, etc. In that sense theyre like many voters throughout the USA who just typically deemphasize foreign policy and issues in their voting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
