Anyway, here are the "gifts" from Biden/Harris administration: increasing prices with more than 20%, increasing inflation, families falling behind on bills, number of americans struggling to pay credit card bills has increased to the highest level for years, billions NOT millions spent for Ukraine and Israel, the pandemic handling (as an american citizen you had to show your vaccine paper when entering in a restaurant but there you had the border crisis with immigrants who had no identity, vaccine, etc.), increasing crimes on streets because of immigrants.
...and I'm sure I forgot other aspects.
- Inflation was a worldwide problem exacerbated by post-pandemic supply chain disruption and other factors. Neither Biden nor Harris caused this issue in the U.S.
- Americans have their own issues paying for things with credit and this has been a problem for decades. Biden actually tried to forgive student loans to ease bills on middle class and lower income people.
- Crime increasing is not due to immigrants. Native-born citizens are more likely to commit crimes. There's even data showing as much.
- Your "vaccine paper" argument is laughable. That was purely up to the restaurant owners (not the government) and they did it to protect their staff. Now that's Biden's problem?
Clearly your media in Romania is in alignment with FOX News and Russia. As you said, maybe you should "mind your own business" because you clearly don't have a firm grip on the facts. Just like 50% of the U.S.

I heard Kamala is planning to run again in 2028. Do you think she’ll win the primary this time?
I seriously doubt both. I'd be shocked if Democrats nominated another woman in my lifetime. Democrats reportedly have a deep bench to select from, but honestly, I think over half the country is too stupid to vote for their own interests, and after Trump 2.0, we'll officially be an oligarchy with just an illusion of democracy.

All those Trump voters will get exactly what they deserve. Unfortunately, it will damage the other half who want reason to prevail. Oh well. Sometimes the disease needs to run its course. I hope those Muslim voters in Deerborn, Michigan, who voted for Trump over Harris just to "send a message," enjoy the next four years of hate crimes and travel bans.
You can't fix stupid. And there is a plethora of it here.

Yep. We get what we deserve. Buckle up for the continuing rot of the U.S.

Analysis of early voting in swing states in giving republicans the upper hand, unfortunately. Some sites are doing a pretty detailed analysis, like this one: split-ticket.org
That assumes 100% Republicans are voting for Trump, and they are not. If she can peel off just 10-15% of GOP voters who are disgusted with him, she win all the swing states.

I hope you all realize that many polls are slanted to help goose fundraising numbers, not to necessarily show who is really winning on the ground. I am not saying all polls are untrustworthy, but it has become a veritable cottage industry unto itself, and a lot of people get paid money to have a poll look a certain way so they can scare people into donating. It sucks that we can't trust anything anymore, but this is what happens when there is a profit motive to everything.
The reasons I am cautiously optimistic is that Trump fatigue is real among the moderate GOP wing (hence her focus on them and not on the left wing of her party), Harris has a superior ground game and more money yet to invest, and abortion is on the ballot in several states where it could help her. Abortion ballot measures have won (even in deep red states), so there will be a lot of independents who vote for her along with reproductive freedom measures.
Also, just to comment on the courting of GOP voters - I realize it is morally questionable and it does not excuse the past behavior, but we all have to come together to some degree or there is going to be a complete lunatic in charge come January 2025. If Trump wins, I suspect there will be crimes far worse.
That said, I think Harris will probably govern as a centrist anyway. She won't have large enough numbers in the Senate (if we win that at all) or the House to pass anything truly groundbreaking. She is going to need moderate Republican support there too.

Be careful about how much trust you put in any polls. Their methodology matters, and Republicans are flooding the polling universe with a lot of poor data and "Trump has the lead" narrative in order to lay the groundwork for him to make legal challenges after Kamala wipes the floor with his wrinkly, orange ass.
I actually think Kamala and her team are doing everything they can (and doing it right). I'm cautiously optimistic she will win. Trump is likely to call for violence from his followers if he loses, and so at this point, the time between the election and the inauguration in January could be an exceptionally tumultuous time in the U.S.
One other thing to note is that 20-30% of GOP primary voters already registered their disgust with Trump and may not be going back. Some may vote for Harris. I think she has the edge.

Walz is a fantastic pick. He’s lively enough for the stump but boring enough to do no harm to the ticket. He contrasts Kamala’s “cosmopolitan” vibe perfectly. He’s every Americans favorite teacher, coach, neighbor, uncle, dad, etc.
Shapiro & Harris would’ve looked WAY too polished and perfect together and quite frankly there’s something about him that rubs me the wrong way. She already rubs some people the wrong way herself, so I can see why she went with a guy who doesn’t look like he was cooked up in a political laboratory.
Seeing her on the campaign trail this past week is just unbelievable. Her energy, confidence, and delivery are just astounding. Where has THIS Kamala been?! I haven’t been this excited to vote since 2008.
Same. I'm getting Obama '08 vibes from some of their rallies. Walz was a great pick. She can totally win this (and by a lot if she plays her cards right).

I hope Kamala wins and I hope Madonna performs "Like A Prayer" at her inauguration.

I don't think it was staged. But I am also not sure this will help him a great deal. He was pretty unsympathetic before he was shot. I don't know how many people will change their minds about him, but who knows? It will be pretty dumb to fight for the NRA when the whole reason someone had access to the gun was because of his own policies. Karma?
If anything, it gives him more conspiracy webs to spin about the supposed Deep State. We can only hope the GOP takes it overboard and alienates independents.

If Biden dies during a second term, he's filled his cabinet with competent politicians to take over. That's more than enough to keep me from panicking about his age or his so-called mental clarity.
In any state of mind, Trump is gonna destroy us.

The U.S. has become an episode of The Twilight Zone. I am more terrified now than I was after the 2016 election.
Naturally, I will vote for a garbage can over der Führer (Trump). If Donald wins though, it will be the darkest 4 years in the U.S. in a very long time.

Lets not pretend that Democrats care about abortion. they have been using this issue as way to sway in votes, and without ever solving the issue.
Abortion was considered a constitutional right from 1973 to 2022. Democrats haven't even had a filibuster proof majority in the Senate since 2009.

So has the conviction changed America’s opinion?
Or is Trump heading to the white house in November still?
Polls I've seen since the conviction only moved the needle a smidge. I think Biden might have gained +1 or 2 points in the polls, but it is still within the margin of error. I don't think most people believed the conviction would change many people's opinions. The Trumpers are baked in with their opinions of him. Biden's only shot is to unify the Democratic base which will prove challenging with the Gaza ordeal plus the public's issue with his age. But there's always hope.
Personally, I think the Gaza thing is a legit issue for Biden, but if people don't vote for Biden or sit the election out, they just elect Trump and he wants Gaza to be wiped out completely, so choose your path wisely, American voters.

This entire election is 2016 x 100. Gotta be in full denial or a coma if one doesn't think the thug Maga machine (Fox, ELON, etc..) is NOT gonna pull a full Comey letter dirty tricks to f things up (on Biden) those last few crucial weeks even if they have to drop deep fakes, AI etc etc... Dirtiest, filthiest election ever...like anywhere in the world next 5 months.
To be fair, Comey (a lifelong Republican) was working for the FBI under the Obama administration in 2016 when his infamous letter came out. But I do believe MAGA nation and Russia will be pulling out ALL the stops to stop the re-election of Biden.

She's a moron. It's been the Transgender Day of Visibility since 2009. Biden didn't invent it. Also, Easter moves dates every year.

For a lot of people The number 1 issue, is the economy. And it was doing better under Trump. It's shit under Biden. You see people tried 1 term of each, and most was better off during Trump's era, so they remember that and would rather have that.
That is actually not true. Vox wrote a good article on that topic with charts: https://www.vox.com/politics/24094752/biden-trump-strong-economy-2024-inflation
The perception is that the economy is shit because of the residual inflation (which was due to the pandemic and subsequent supply chain disruptions more so than Trump or Biden policies). But the stock market, unemployment rate, wage growth, etc. is all doing better under Biden. I realize perception is key, and even if it is a false perception, it could cost Biden the 2024 election. I would still rather have him than Trump. Trump didn't really do anything except pass a tax cut for the wealthy and stack the Supreme Court (as well as the federal judiciary). The GOP doesn't even have a real policy platform anymore.

Yes but the other two are dictatorships or oligarchy without any respect for human rights. And they don’t give lessons around about democracy and human rights.
It begs the question: Who would you rather be the global superpower? It's one thing to complain and another to offer an alternative. I am not justifying anything the U.S. does, and I actually don't think a majority of U.S. citizens are ok with killing civilians, but I am not sure what the answer is. I don't know Biden, but I don't think he's cheering the deaths of anyone. I don't know any government in the history of this planet that hasn't killed people. I think it's just an unfortunate reality.

Especially USA. Their foreign policies are simply a horror for humanity. Kissinger alone was devil on earth
I don't disagree with you, but every superpower would do what's best for them. There are no good alternatives even if the U.S. wasn't as prominent as it is. China? Russia? Those foreign policies would be even worse (IMO).

The rest of the free world should just move on from America...we're a lost cause now (not to mention untrustworthy cunts). Decades of wealth inequality and dismantling the middle class destroyed us from within and left a rabid mob so bereft of reason that they elected this orange shit stain as President.
