Trump seems to be the one more targeted by nutters

I didn't even consider he meant assasanation. I was assuming he meant 10's of thousands would turn up in protest or worse.

I have for a while thought it's gonna be cruel, but kind of funny, for her to have to confirm her defeat if Trump wins.

Al Gore had to - and he was cheated out of it. Poor sod.

As did Gore, Mondale, Humphrey and Nixon.

One of those made a comeback of course.

What time do we normally get the first projections?

UK time, I mean. Midnight?

Interesting article from the BBC, a number of their surveyed undecided voters from a while back eventually went for a third party candidate or none:

Anecdotal, but I think that’s bad news for Harris. Those are exactly the sorts of people the Dems would have been hoping would get behind the ‘anyone except Trump’ message.

I hope the big Don loses narrowly and kicks off

Might be harder for him to go full south American coup this time though as he's not the incumbent

Lolz at the guy who voted Green because he thought Harris has gone too far to the right.

What exactly does he think will happen policy wise if Trump wins?

I get it if he had a vicerel hatred of Harris like Barnet Ben does Starmer. But, he doesn't appear too as he initially liked her.
