there will be.
the republicants know that when turnout is high, they lose. society and reality lean to the left. that's why they do all the registration and voter suppression and put up as many obstacles as they can to access the ballot box.
there will need to be historic and unprecedented voter participation in every state and in every district to make up for all that right-wing maga bullshit that tries to keep people from being able to vote.
I honestly thought he was going to lose by an embarrassing landslide last time. I wasn't just hoping, I was convinced from here in Australia. Heck I even put $100 on Kamala, first time in my life betting on politics.
Strange times indeed.
I bet $50 on her for my own peace of mind, but I knew I'd lose it. She was a late stage afterthought to stem the hemorrhaging created by Biden being a senile entitlement president. We have to get the notion that NOBODY is owed the presidency in this country. It's either earned or stolen.
Yes it was a bit of a calamity for sure. Sad she didn't cut it. Even sadder is that too many people went with the orange clown. I can kinda understand why dumb people did, ( as in make that choice, I don't agree of course ) but it's just not right at all.

Same from here in South Africa. Reddit had me fooled that we were about to finally enter a period where this fucking orange painted clown isn't stinking up the news with his shit filled diaper on a daily basis, after like 10 long years of it.
I was expecting the inbred hillbillies to still vote for Trump but I didn't realise how many closeted inbred hillbillies there were in the USA.
Evidently a lot of idiots. Sadly I have friends over here that think he's great. They know to not talk about it to me, and really what's the point. They see a few minutes a week of him " saying it how it is" and "getting things done".
I don't bother arguing with rump supporters, it's a waste of time.
On another note, I have travelled through your country a little bit back in 1998. Bloody beautiful scenery. Jo Burg was a bit scary.
1998, I was 12 years old lol. The '90s were peak South Africa from my perspective. When we were all still high on Mandela, before Jacob Zuma came along and killed every last bit of hope for the future. That beautiful scenery unfortunately usually only gets seen by tourists because the rest of us are too busy trying to put food on the table.
All I've seen of Australia was the inside of an airport on my way to New Zealand lol.
Also in Australia. It blew my mind. Seriously. I think it broke me a little bit to realise how monumentally fucking STUPID people en masse are. I mean, I kinda suspected it all along, but I was clearly unable to even imagine the actual scale of it.

Nah kamala is just super unlikable, dems shot themselves in the foot again. Instead of having an electing where dems could pick their fav candidate the dem establishment picked one of the most unpopular ones. But anyone will a brain cell can see kamala is the better choice over trump but still, americans lack commons sense

The rest of the world doesn't see their propaganda on TV and online, easy to underestimate how many people they have brainwashed.

Trump will just sign an EO claiming that the nation is in crisis and fair elections are therefore not possible.
Like how much have the right yelled about elections being rigged and unfair and corrupt and so on? They're obviously setting up the rhetoric to take control and 'fix' the 'problem', because 'obviously' everyone supports trump (or else...)
There's no way Trump didn't cheat, even if he didn't need to. Cheating is in his bones.
It was the most honest thing he said too. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-quote-rigged-election-president/
there will be.
What makes you think so? Your government is actively fascist and I'm not hearing of anything resembling effective resistance three months into this shit. At this rate they will shut down or irreparably rig elections likely before the midterms and definitely before the general.

Of course there will. It'll just be illegal to vote for anyone except Trump.

Even Russia has elections.
I wish I could believe there would be a next election or that Americans were capable of learning.
By next election, the 14 words will be on the bank notes.
Biggest problem with Bernie. He's been beaten for years into somehow believing the liberal lie that we can all be a family if we just vote hard enough. He points out the bullshit well, but then just connects it to voting for more democrats. There needs to be a call for a new workers parry. We need a new party, not a new democrat.
Math & Chaos theory says you have to get rid of FPtP voting before that can happen.
There is a reason the GOP is making other voting methods illegal in states they have control over.
Then, even if you manage that, those parties have to do the work at a local level. The Democratic Socialists seem to be the only 3rd party that understands that. The rest of them are nothing more than novelty parties or outright spoilers.
We need a new party, not a new democrat
Never going to happen while we still have FPTP, at least not the way you think it will. What would really happen, is this new party would split the Democratic vote, and the Republicans would win even harder. You have to get rid of FPTP before any 3rd party will be a realistic possibility. Until then it would just make things even worse.

fingers crossed for this weekend's federal election in Australia to go in a similar trajectory
Gotta get trump to start talking about annexing Australia. That'll help.
We're gonna call it "Southwest Hawaii".
Petition to rename NSW to New South Wisconsin.

Bernie thinks there will actually be another real election.
They were cheering "trump 2028" at a 100 day rally yesterday.
Actual Nazis
Even if we have another election, it won't matter until we fix this.

They stole the vote in every way they could. They will do so again.
"next election"
I'm really hoping that this translates to Australia. We currently have our main conservative party enlisting literal Christian cultists to intimidate the centre and left volunteers at certain electorates.
This is why local elections mean so much. You need to put in people that are going to fight like Bernie for us. It's the only way.
Trump and the Republicans are pissing off so many people, we'll see how this plays out. Midterms are going to crash and burn for the Republicans. Not everywhere, but in a lot of places (like Wisconsin).
I hope AOC, Bernie, and friendly governors are hiring DEI military members. If a civil war happens, it would be preferable if our commanders and soldiery is in good order.
It is my guess that Bernie is a man of peace, but I hope he is willing to prepare in advance for the conflict to come.
