A good sign for Dems if they are restoring to crazy already
Andy Harris has always been a bit crazy. He was busted trying to bring a handgun onto the floor of the House.

Perhaps informed by his father, who was part of a pro-Nazi paramilitary group in Hungary before coming to the US in the 50s, Andy Harris is big ol' Victor Orban fanboi.
 
Dislike trump hugely as a person mate.

That goes way back to when he was doing the apprentice - views hardly improved on him as a politician either 😂.

Thatcher oh yes I do hate, she specifically targeted my city and tried to grind it into the dust, she also ultimately stuck the knife into socialism in the UK it just took a whilst for it to bleed out.

Maybe if you're an American from certain places the same feeling is there for Trump - honestly can't say, but I can't hate the guy the same way as Thatcher or close to it because he's had little to no impact on me or anyone I care about ( may sound selfish - but being honest at least)
Appreciate the honesty
and I was only a kid when Thatcher was in power but lived in Ireland and the UK so was well aware of her.
Trump is every bit as bad.
Don't be fooled by the folksy 'he says what he thinks' nonsense.
His aim is to privatize everything, bust the unions, cut social security, cut benefits, cut taxes for the wealthy, cut spending on public/affordable housing, militarize the police and remove any police oversight, give them total immunity, he's so polarizing that he cant get any meaningful bipartizan legislation through. Everything is by executive order (dictator on day one).
Any major policy seems to fail unless there's an executive order.
Infrastructure week and his health care plans are running jokes from his last term.
And on and on.
His policies laid waste to 8 years of socially conscious work that Obama put in.
If he could, he would have destroyed Obamacare.
His supreme court picks seem intent on taking the country back to an era before electricity existed.
Womens rights, gay rights, immigrants rights, black peoples rights all under threat. And this is not hyperbole.

As for not thinking Trump lies as much as Harris, thats a bananas take.

Here's some Trump lies from the last month or so off the top of my head.

He's said they are performing transgender ops on kids at schools without parents concent.
He's said that they are performing abortions on live babies after they are born.
He said Harris used to only promote her Indian heritage. She went to Howard. Thats like saying Rooney is not scouse because he played for United,
He said everyone wanted Roe sent back to the states. 70% did not.
He said the Congo had deliberately emptied prisons to send prisoners to the US

Then theres the casual lies like Harris was the first one to drop out of the 2020 primary. If his mouth is open, hes lying like that.
 
Im from Bootle mate, so i dont get a vote, but if i did, it would 100% be Trump and Vance, because the other 2 are so obviously liars. Walz tries to get around it by saying hes a knuckle head. Kamala just ignores the lies and pretends she never said them.

But people call Trump a liar because he exaggerates and uses hyperbole to describe things like how everyone likes him or how many people attend his rallies.

If he said half the [Poor language removed] the others said, hed be hung out to dry.

But i guess thats the fair and balanced media for you.

P. S. Tulsi Gabbard or RFKjr.

Ironic i know
Sweet Jesus. Imagine actually typing this out.

If you know 5000 people showed up at your rally and you claim there were 50000 there, that’s not hyperbole, it’s outright lying.

Trump is a haven for the racists and the sexists....but sadly he is also picking up the disaffected youth , who believe they are part of something...they can blame a common enemy for their problems
 
I'll answer that as well for myself, never voted once in the UK, zero point as I lived in 3 of the top 10-15 safest Labour seats - so giving them another vote seemed pointless (thanks electoral system). Post Blair is have not voted regardless as both parties morphed into clones in terms of policy in truth.

Never voted here as well as it's a similar situation of I'd have voted for the person who doesn't need the extra votes also.

Would I vote in the US, bloody hard to say tbh, I dislike trump, dislike the republicans historically, and dislike hugely the democrats from the mid Clinton point onwards. But that's coming from someone who isn't American.

If I was from there I'd likely vote for who'd 1. Be better for the economy. 2. Who'd stop foreign involvement or at least cut it back from the way it escalated post early 90s.

I think trump 'may' be best in both those areas, but it comes with it being a. Trump whose detestable on many levels, and b. The single thing most likely to permanently fracture an already teetering society cohesion.

Either way this goes, it's not gonna be pretty and it's just how ugly it gets post November. As don't see either party taking it and moving on

Would you vote for Putin?
