My prediction is at least 2 degrees celsius warming by the end of the century, a thing that whoever wins the US election in 2024 will help accelerate.
electoralism
Welcome to c/electoralism! politics isn't just about voting or running for office, but this community is.
Please read the Chapo Code of Conduct and remember...we're all comrades here.
Shitposting in other comms please!
And that's after they massaged the numbers.
At least 4 honestly, 2 is already a dream.
At least 2 is a safe bet.
Harris and Trump both coincidentally die in the same car crash on election day, and the USA balkanizes as a result
dont make me dream
My prediction is everyone will be happy and completely normal about the election results
The real winners are the ones that just had fun
There will be another thing on Jan 6 2025 and it becomes an official part of the presidential electoral process
I'm doing my part!
dies from tasing my own balls
I think if they do it again, it'll be waaaaay more flaccid and lifeless.
Tragedy, then farce, right?
Right up until about a month or two ago, I was very convinced Trump was going to take it, but honestly both sides seem less interested in their own candidate and just voting against the other. There appears to be some big enthusiasm among women in places with abortion bans, so that could turn the tide, but also Harris has pissed off everyone vaguely left and essentially every Muslim.
I'm gonna call it for Trump, but I'm not confident anymore.
If Kamala does win, I think any sort of J6 shit is out of the question. The petite bourgeois that participated last time realized (due to all the arrests) its not a good idea to piss off the feds, and the dems will put out a biiiiiig show, complete with tanks on the front lawn of the white house, to show how "ready" they are.
Whoever wins, there will be minor squabbles about how it was stolen, and then things will move on quickly, aside from conspiracy theorists and resistance reddit libs.
My funniest prediction I've had since like 2 years ago was that Trump wins the election, Biden dies like a day later getting Harris sworn in as a lame duck....and then Trump dies 2 weeks before taking office and JD vance becomes president.
...I feel like we don't live in that timeline though. As of right now I think Harris just clinches it with the popular vote and the EC...then we spend the next few months litigating it both publicly and in various courts. Would be wild if the supreme court pulled a 2000 thing again...but I feel like that probably won't happen.
The real question is: If Trump wins, will libs start caring about the genocide on Nov 5 or will they at least have the self awareness to wait until Jan 21
They might even start caring about the migrant concentration camps on the border again
I think that's a stretch these days, most libs I know have bought into the propaganda about how somehow migrants are the ones that caused all the inflation.
you don't understand, biden was holding israel back!
the surprising polls i the last day or so are making me think kamala has a chance and i'm not sure it's a good thing since it's guarantees that democrats will continue to use minorities to virtue signal and those minorities will love democrats for it.
The darkest outcome. Dems learn that they can get away with mass slaughter, and open genocide becomes business as usual from now until the end of the empire.
I think Kamala wins both the EC and popular vote by a thinner margin than Biden in 2020. Also by some combination of PA/MI/NV being close and taking forever to count, major networks don't have a projected winner until Thursday morning at the earliest. Trump's team tries to take like 6 states to court for infinite recounts all the way until inauguration and it's all we hear about for the next 3 months.
Funniest possible outcome next to an EC tie is that Kamala wins the EC but loses popular vote, unfortunately for my fellow chaos-enjoyed, that looks extremely unlikely. That might be the only way we ever see the end of the EC.
My prediction: we're not getting an official winner announced till Friday.
Other prediction: Kamala wins but Dems lose the Senate.
Standard Leftist preamble: I so don't care.
I think Trump eeks out a tiny EC lead. Most voters think Orange Man = gooder economy. Coupled with the fact the libs did no coalition building while also pissing off the Muslim vote, and Trump will limp across the finish line. Only caveat: abortion might force some otherwise Trump supporters to stay home.
Truly a race to the bottom.
The popular vote will be razor thin - within a percentage point either way. No one will care except for your 24hour news channel of choice.
There will be no other Jan 6 like action. The first one was too contradictory (I love Trump who loves cops but I hate these cops but I love rules but not these rules... let's cosplay like out of shape vikings and steal AOCs shoes).
Trump will die within 2 years of office and it'll cause a constitutional crisis (this one is just wishful thinking).
I am currently thinking it's going to be a pretty clean Harris win. Ask me again in an hour. I think she's done everything she can to fuck this up but she still wins due to the very unpopular abortion restrictions and people being tired of Trump as a person.
I think she might win Penn. just from the weight of Elon running Trump's ground game there
jeb!
I bet Kamala catches the snitch, but Trump wins the World Cup
claudia sweep
My prediction is that I'm gonna vote for PSL, and only because a friend needs me to drive them to a voting booth so I'll already be there.
there will be four presidents next year. president liz cheney and her vp john settlerman shall implement project 2025 amidst the war with iran and with heavy but inconsequential republican dissent.
And people who love to draw stupid equivalences between ancient Rome and the US will jerk themselves off to death about the "year of the four presidents"
its not stupid at all. after princeps diocletian became dominus and turned rome into west persia the mormons pushed west and founded the second roman empire. it is known.
Republicans barely take it in a dubious 2000 Florida style situation while the Democrats go full ballistic on lawsuits against the Green party because they got like 3% of the vote in a different, irrelevant, state.
Whoever wins we lose
I'm still going with surprise or leading that coup, also happening next Janurary 6th.
The margins are narrow enough that it will be a 2016 style coin flip that's decided by which way the independent voters break, and the normies are too pissed off at abortion bans and too annoyed by Trump to break for him again.
Unless Genocide Joe managed to completely alienate every Muslim voter in Michigan, and the Pennsylvania margin is narrow enough that the Supreme Court can do another judicial coup.
I’m slightly on the side of Harris winning.
-
I’ll give dems this, they’ve at least begun to develop a sense of party loyalty that the gop has.
-
Tim Walz was admittedly an attempt to appeal to some economic populism. I have no faith they’ll make good on this, but I as per usual hope to be proven wrong.
-
The gamergate sauce is dying to some extent. Gamergaters have been in victory dance mode for 10 years after winning and even among apolitical people I’ve seen them tell these red-baiters to fuck off
-
Hilary Clinton in particular had a LOT of baggage and even in 2016 Trump barely won
-
tons of early voting. Generally dems do better when more people vote
-
I think overturning Roe was the GOP’s equivalent of Obgerfell, the pyrrhic culture war victory that they didn’t want to truly win.
-
Also I’ve noticed a bit of the idea of fully forming a “uniparty”, dems love kowtowing to the gop and if I were a fascist, I’d want my most vocal dissenters to get on my case for not being fascist enough.
Oh, and a lathe for the road. I can see immediately after a Harris win that dems will smugly tell the left: “see? We don’t need you after all!” even before they go back to brunch.
Praying on a trump heart attack so we get to see JD vance trying to corral MAGA guys instead
Trump wins the popular vote, Kamala wins the electoral college. Trump blames China, Latinos and Iran for this, he then continues to sell shoes and Trump Yu Gi Oh! Cards. At least Elon Musk stfu about politics.
At least Elon Musk stfu about politics.
At least Elon Musk stfu about politics.
Only if he snaps his neck trying to run into the Capital building on January 6th 2 Somehow More Pathetic
You know, I don't know. I really expected to see a ton of people in shirts with the picture of Trump right after he got shot around me but that didn't happen. At the same time, not seeing any of the lib lawn signs I Saw back in 2020. I think I'm going to weigh the lack of enthusiasm for Trump heavier and say that Kamala will probably wins with a fairly weak voter turnout. But that's more of a guess than anything based in hard data.
