New Zealander here. I hope that now with Trump in office that USA will go back to the moon in 2025-2028 :).
Hope more high income manufacturing jobs are created for the working class and they build a bigger middle class.

Re: Trump wins presidency for second time
#643Looks like he also might win the popular vote. First republican to win the popular vote since 2004. If this is true, then this was a clear mandate that the a majority of voters prefer Trump's policies over the other side. We might not like it, but this is how democracy works. There is certainly going to be domestic and international chaos in the coming years. But a realignment of the world order and domestic politics…

Guess I’ll become a grifter like the rest of them. Become a parasite on society. Fuck everyone else, I guess.

#644About 20 million votes less than the 2020 election, with about 15 million less for the democrats, and a measely 4 million less for the republicans. Thought that was interesting.
It's not like people warned that supporting a genocide would cost Harris the presidency...

Still a large chunk of votes yet to be counted on the West Coast.

#646Wouldn't it be amazing if we had a viable third party? I can dream, can't I?
As long as America has a first-past-the-post voting system, then game theory dictates that it will always be a two-party system.
Re: Trump wins presidency for second time
#647Can we talk about how the voter turnout for the GOP and Dems both follow linear patterns in the last few races, except for Dem turnout in 2020? How do we explain the statistical anomaly, other than the obvious?
Re: Trump wins presidency for second time
#648The only choice that made any sense at all. America is about to experience it's absolute Golden Age.
2026 will be the USA's 250th anniversary, we'll put men on the moon for the first time in 50+ years, and we'll land a rocket on Mars. The Supreme Court is secured for decades, immigration reform will now be swift and bipartisan, and we're moving manufacturing back to the US, including 4nm chip manufacturing with TSMC, avoiding escalation with China on that front.
We are truly living in the best possible timeline, I'm literally so pumped and excited for the future of our country and world, and I'm ready to start building for the future!!!

#649> Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

Even if a 3rd party got elected president, the Senate and the House are Republican/Democrat, they wouldnt be able to get anything passed and it would be largely useless.
The entire system needs an overhaul.
