What about Canadians and Mexicans? When you say "norteamericanos" don't you include those too? For a Bulgarian if you say "North American" you include the Canadians and Mexicans...
Canadians: Canadienses
Mexicans: Mexicanos
USA Americans: Norteamericanos o estadounidenses. (And yankees in a more informal way)
North America is Canada + USA + Mexico though. The teach us that in school. And they are norteamericanos, but it's mostly used for people from the USA.

Really? Is that how the rest of South American countries call the ppl from USA?
Don't know about rest of South America, but here in Argentina for sure we call people from USA, norteamericanos most of the time. Also estadounidenses and yankees.

Here in Argentina, most media call him the second American Pope, the first North American Pope (Primer Papa norteamericano)
-
I'm Argentinean. I live in America (the continent). I've never called myself American (or heard some else in my country call themselves "American"). It's an old term not really used by anyone even though we DO live in America and Pope Francis was the first American Pope.
And we don't call people from USA american either. We call them norteamericanos (north americans) or Yankees.
I do get why the appropiated the term since is part of their country name (United States of America)

But isn't it interesting that they blame the government for their financial issues? They want the government to do something about their paychecks? Isn't that Communism? How about telling your employer to pay you more? Seriously, the lack of overall education and the lack of understanding of general economics in the U.S. is downright shocking, although not surprising, the system is supposed to work exactly like that. And this is something the U.S. is really "top" in the World. You have to look really hard in Europe and other places for people to seriously blame things like inflation on the government.
I get you but it's not the only place in the world. South America is very similar, people do blame the government for inflation. In Argentina we had a centre-left goverment during Covid, and last year people end up voting an extreme right (new) party because they wanted fast solutions to the economy and the inflation problem. The government is anti abortion, gays and trans people, BUT inflation is going down.

They should have got rid of Biden last year and then she would have had a whole year to campaign.
Oh well lessons learned hopefully
I think the Covid impact is bigger than we give credit for. Most countries around the world changed their administration because of its impact in their economy and society. It's like people don't want anything related to those years.
Trump lost the 2020 mainly because of COVID (I'm sure had there not been a pandemic that year he would have been re-elected), but he is remember more for the 2016-2019 era than 2020.
And Harris (whic is part of the Biden administration) is losing this election because of how they handle the economy during 2020-2024.Yep, they actually handle it really well or as best as they could, but they are seen as responsible for some of the after effects it had in economy, like inflation.
Most people don't vote thinking about abortion, gay right, social justice or democracy. They vote thinking in how much money they have in their wallet.

It looks like it will be a repeat of 2016. She needs to win Pennsylvania or is over for her.

At least he won’t be able to run again, but seriously what the actual fuck.
Just wait when he gets in the White House. He will try anything to stay in power.

Thing overall are not looking good for Kamala. Much weaker results than Biden in 2020. This is terrible...
Mail in ballots will make or break her. It's too close a race right now to call.

Meltdown from Tangerine this early in the day bodes well for Kamala!
If he's saying they are cheating, is because he is really losing.
-
Trump has started again with the fraud claims and that there are cheating situations in Pennsylvania. Some media are reporting that this has been cause by internal talks with his team that he is losing that state (and losing that state will most likely make him lose the whole election)

So is Trump on course to win or is it still to close to call?
Polls show a tie, but have inclined to Trump in the last few days
Early voting is showing more good news to Harris side.
So, too early to call.

this is what the left has to focus on in regards to trump.. he failed and didn't answer any questions.
I think most people are very shallow with politics and only care about how much money they have on their wallet, or how much groceries cost.
Is inflation that terrible in USA? And was economy that great with Trump? because that's the only explanation I have for him winning again.

The latest polls indicate Trump will win enough electoral votes to become a president.
Polls do seem to benefit Trump this week, especially in swing states. And I bet there are more "hidden" Trump supporters than there are Harris ones. The 2 previous elections clearly show that, Trump overperformed the polls.
But, early voting is giving Harris good news too. Not only more people are voting (which is always good news for the democratic party), but also she is having more advantage in swing states over Trump, than Biden did in 2020.
It will be too close to call.

Seems it goes that way sofar. Harris campaign seems in a panic mode, because the black men and latinos do not support Harris as much as they did Biden in 2020. It seems Trump would win if something doesn't change soon in Harris side. That's why she is doing lots of media appearances since last week.
Just because she is a woman. Can't believe it's 2024 and the USA never had a female president.

Yesterday the DNC was so much fun. That Roll Call was amazing (the DJ made a great job with the playlist)
And the speeches of Doug, Barack and especially Michelle were great.

Yes. JD Vance is a terrible choice but I still find it unbelievable that anyone supports Trump. Trump is a deranged, idiotic dangerous moron and how he has any supporters is a blight on America.
I still don't get how many women, people of colour and some gays support him.

Another good one

I’m seeing a ton of enthusiasm about her VP pick. Videos of him circulating online make him out to be a real down to earth man of the people.
I think he is a great choice as a VP. And he coined the term "Weird" for Trump and Vance which has gone viral really quick on the campaign.

These people are goners.
It's surprising that people with so much money sometimes can be so stupid. If you are doing this kind of risky "adventure" don't you check previously the history of the company you are signing your life to?

Oh so you haven't been here on those years and your judgement was based on the vision of others?
Actually Bolsonaro lost here in São Paulo and the gays who support him is a big minority. I may think your friend and the people you've heard from are privileged white cis men? If so, it's easy to understand why they say horrors of a government that gave dignity and favored minorities and lower classes.It's ok. I don't support Bolsonaro and I don't support corrupt politicians like Lula that take advantage from poor people either.
