O/T:- Betting odds for US Election [The USA Politics Thread]

[jackal2]

You think you’ve seen it all when it comes to politics on here but I never thought I’d see the values of MLK being ascribed to members of the Conservative Party. People who voted for Liz Truss just to avoid having Rishi Sunak as leader.

Especially by someone who cheers on *checks* a white supremacist. Lol.

I appreciate that "progressives" have to cling to the race card and identity politics for pretty much all they're worth these days, but their problem is that increasing numbers of minority voters are realising that they were/are being used and manipulated, not protected or represented, by a (predominantly white, middle class) liberal left intelligentsia. It turns out that a growing number of people from 'minority backgrounds' are now turned off by being told who to vote for based on, for example, their ethnicity.

How dare a black person like Kemi Badenoch get herself elected leader of the Conservatives?

How dare increasing numbers of (e.g.) Latino/Hispanic/Black voters support Donald Trump, of all people, effectively giving him the big push over the line into the White House?

It's the "black face of white supremacy", as Dawn Butler would say - indeed did say in a tweet that revealed everything about the content of her character. Or to put it another way, minority voters should know their role, much like white working class people should automatically vote Labour. Anybody who doesn't is an idiot or a traitor ... but remember everybody should "be kind".

Of course, people on the right of politics shouldn't complain about such insults from the illiberal left towards what they see as "their" own misbehaving support-base, indeed they should hope it continues, because it's phenomenally effective in convincing increasing numbers of that support base to look elsewhere.

Brilliant post. The left are splitting everyone up into minority groups and then trying to make it appear that they are acting on their behalf. Again, we had five years of this in New Zealand with Jacinda Ardern and her loonie collection of coalition partners. Most people don't care what colour, creed or gender people who act on their behalf are.

Just as an aside, I watched the Kamala Harris final speech and noticed that the majority of the people there listening to her were mainly black people and the majority of these were women. Now, for our resident nutters on here, I'm not saying ALL were black, just the majority. it was the same on the night of the election, when her supporters were waiting for her to come and speak, where she didn't.

To me that shows how divisive the Democrat agenda has been, bearing in mind 69% of the population in the US are white. The left don't act on behalf of the majority or the minority or the few. They act on behalf of themselves, where they think they can find 'cheap' votes.

You couldn’t make it up.

You call Elite childish, then refer to those who don’t agree with you as resident nutters!

I don't call people who don't agree with me 'nutters', I was referring to those that pick one line out of a full paragraph and try and make an argument from it.

Oh, look what you did.

So it’s not childish to call them resident nutters then?
