As we slide into another election season, I just wanna know: did this really happen, or was it all just deepfake? Did we watch an election get stolen, or was it just a series of coincidences that allowed all the votes counted at night to trend WILDLY left?

It might be a fake. I did not hear of that before.

The fact that an unpopular non-incumbent got 81 million votes is enough to question the 20 election. It's just too obvious and that is why I believe this has turned into such a battle. Trump may not be able to win because he would expose what really happened. The media is claiming that harris is ahead and we all know that is not the case. They need plausibility and again they will use the dislike for Trump and now roe v wade as the reasons.

I have said this before, and it sounds like a conspiracy theory, but this election will be decided by the military complex. Recently mark milley just released a book claiming trump is a fascist. This somewhat confirms what the military thinks about Trump.

What part of the feminist movement fucked up women do you not understand?

I say most of the "republican" women i know are voting for D lately from this issue alone. These are 40+ who will never have a baby/get pregnant...


They can't even define a woman anymore, and applaud getting beat up by men.

Who had, "Kamala was secretly married to a Canadian." on their October Surprise card?

Is it true?

Baier is arguably one of the better, maybe more professional caster’s at Fox and I could not help but get the impression that he wanted to choke her out several times during that interview.

I'm surprised he's made it as far as he has.

The feedback on this interview has been interesting from reading various comments online.

Most of the left leaning commenters have just used words like "masterclass" to discuss her performance, noted how she "dismantled Baier", and accosted Baier for constantly interrupting her (which from what I gather was, in actuality, him trying to make her answer the questions asked instead of diverting or talking about Trump).

The right leaning posters effectively commented that she didn't answer any questions, and instead just tried to turn every single question into a Trump bashing.

The very small minority of posters who flat out stated they were undecided seemed to really want three things from Harris - identify what the current administration did wrong, say what her actual plan was to fix it, and expound upon what she would do differently than Biden. The consensus among this small group of undecideds seemed to be that she did none of those things, that they were disappointed that she bailed from an interview they had hoped would be an hour long after only 22 minutes, and that the interview seemed to do more harm than good, if only for the added frustration of not providing any answers that could actually sway voters. There also seemed to be some consensus amongst this group that they were genuinely surprised that she still does not have good, scripted answers to the questions everyone knows will be asked - Biden's mental health, gun control, border crisis, inflation.

That's generally consistent with how all media coverage of political candidates has been received over the past decade or so, more or less beginning when Trump announced that he was going to run for President.

Since then, people who are predisposed to support Trump (or oppose whoever the Democrat is) have tended to view all media coverage as being biased against Trump, while interpreting Trump's performance in speeches and debates as positive while viewing Clinton / Biden / Harris' performance as lackluster.


Meanwhile, people who are predisposed to hate and fear Trump (or support whoever the Democrat is) have tended to come away with precisely the opposite impression.


This is in no small part fueled by the narratives being presented by the new-media (Joe Rogan, Huffington, Breitbart, Alex Jones, Jalopnik, etc) as they react to said performances and provide opinion / commentary to their consumers how they should feel about them.
