Hello Mayra! I understand you feel that way, likely because the media you follow suggested for weeks that Harris would win. But if you looked closer at the polls, many showed Trump performing better than in 2016 and 2020, with final polls even showing him ahead nationally.
Both parties have taken steps to guard against fraud and manipulation, so the results seem legitimate; otherwise, Democrats, from the highest positions down the ticket, would likely have contested their defeats.
The lower voter turnout raises questions. Some on the right argue that the 2020 election saw an unprecedented surge, which they claim might indicate fraud. However, voter turnout often depends on enthusiasm. If voters weren’t particularly excited about Harris or Trump, turnout could naturally drop.
Sorry, Daniel, but I’d say it’s got to be at least 5x that number! With 140,551,871 votes cast, it’s likely that at least as many people followed election night online or on TV in some way.
Imagine a soccer team where half the players hate the other half; how could they ever win? The Dems could’ve just said, 'We disagree with Trump,' without the name-calling, like the 'Hitler' comparisons or Hillary's 'basket of deplorables.' That alienated half the country.
You made some excellent points, but I think the last one may be influenced by the media you're consuming. No one has faced more relentless attacks than Trump, especially with all the Hitler nonsense, for a guy who literally brokered peace deals. It's terrible from both sides, these endless attacks.
Republican-led states often outperform Democrat-led ones. I respect your support for Harris, truly. But there’s no convincing me otherwise: key issues like Harris herself, the woke agenda, open-door policies on illegal immigration, and attempts to limit free speech are absolute no-gos for me.
I assume you’re not a fan of someone like Musk, but given his unmatched success as a multi-entrepreneur, him joining a Trump administration could be exactly what’s needed!
US economy looks strong with low unemployment and solid GDP growth, but inflation and trade deficits show there's more beneath the surface. We aren’t doing much better than others—we aren’t. Economic health is complex, and spending must be cut, which won’t happen under Harris
Again, I agree with you. But from what I’ve read—and I admit I may not be fully informed, the unrealized capital gains tax proposed by Harris seems toxic. Plus, I just don’t feel comfortable with a president who has never run any kind of business themselves.
Yes, I fully agree with you on that! But the point is more about not outsourcing everything. It’s essential to keep some production capabilities to remain more independent. We need a plan for what we can produce, where to invest, and how to become a manufacturing nation again.
Firstly: Welcome! Tariffs may raise prices, but they’re meant to bring jobs back home. Billionaires pay a large share of income taxes, but should their wealth be taxed more or invested for growth? Meanwhile, the government urgently needs to stop its insane spending before we collapse!
The betting favorite has only lost twice since 1866. The only time, other than in 2016, that bettors have missed was in in 1948, when Harry Truman (D) beat eight-to-one odds to defeat Thomas Dewey (R).
So many recent polls suggest Trump is either in front, it’s a tie, or Harris has a slight lead. But it all comes down to voter turnout. Whichever party can mobilize their voters most, securing PA likely means a Trump win, and holding strong in the Rust Belt points to Harris.
When you look at the positive posts about Harris on X, you’ll often find entire channels seemingly dedicated to promoting her. And objectively speaking, there's just not the level of enthusiasm they claim is there. It’s clear they picked the wrong candidate.
Firstly, you can vote for whoever you like—even if that’s Harris. But facts are facts. If there aren’t sufficient measures against illegal immigration, and it actually ends up benefiting more than it prevents, you’re heading for trouble.
It’s hard to get all the facts, but it’s clear they’re making it easy for illegal immigrants to access housing and funding—essentially a form of 'letting them in.' This is the opposite of what other countries do to discourage illegal immigration.
That's actually the most incorrect statement you’ve made so far. Illegal crossings have hit record levels under Biden/Harris. The intent is clear: they aim to grant citizenship to these individuals, ensuring Democratic votes and securing the presidency for decades.
Biden and Harris have let in double-digit numbers of immigrants, putting strain on the system. They also want to limit the First Amendment and support the military-industrial complex, pushing for ongoing wars instead of peace talks. It’s practically impossible to vote blue with all of this.
