  • I don't understand why the popular vote winner odds are 1.03 for Biden.

    The next president I can kind of get, as he could die, or something weird. But popular vote? He's won that.

    Not if he pops off before the vote is certified.
    He's still won the popular vote, even then. Dude won election somewhere even though he died of covid.
    Have you read the small print?
    I couldn't see anything about certification in there.

    I think 1000/1 for pence to be next president are pretty decent odds too.

    Edit, scratch that, just read the rules of that market. It's who will be elected president in the 2020 election.
    What are the odds on Trump?
    14/1
  • Trump is president until January 20. Think of what he could do before then. I have heard he might pull all troops out of the Middle East and fire Fauchi.

    He can do whatever he wants and then Biden can just change it back...

    I don't think you can really fully pull troops out of places they have been in for many years within two months.

    He already did.

    No, he can't. And although he could fire any number of people, they can be hired right back. And does anyone think Barr will be attorney general in February? Happily there will be a purge on pond life in the near future.
  • Some of those people laying Biden will be doing so to cash out their winning bets. Imagine if in the primaries you had bet a grand at 10/1, would you wait for him to be declared the winner or lay him at 1.08 and have £920 guaranteed profit to back Dragonfly in the 3:20 at Haydock?

    We put them in in two months.

    No I mean the dramatic pulling of troops out from Syria.

    I know. He can announce it, but there is probably enough obfuscation available to his grudgingly loyal military for them to still be there when he leaves office.

    I've no idea what Biden's stance on this is though. Probably whatever it is, it doesn't include the word "sudden".


  • It's like groundhog day with all the remoaner marches over the last 4.5 years...
  • You won, get over it.

    Who knew Remoaners and Trump voters were so alike?

    The UK should never forget the risk and damage to democracy that remoaners have caused in the last 4.5 years. If you went on or supported one of those remoaner marches you are no better than the Trump supporters in the attached picture.

    I will continue to hold the feet to the fire of those who refused to accept the democratic result. That I have Trump to bash them over the head with is a glorious bonus :smiley:

    Leavers are much more like Republicans, obviously. They voted for something, turned out to not be what they thought, so have modified what they thought based on what they ended up getting.
  • No problems with a peaceful protest, wish they didn't do it when there's a pandemic on, and also wish their dear leader didn't give them false hope that he's going to win when he's ALREADY LOST!

    To have any similarity you would have needed an election on whether or not to remain with Trump as President. Assuming they voted for him to Leave the factions are now arguing about who is the new President or whether they need to move to a dictatorship.

    I would not mix anyone from the UK with Republicans that is taking it too far.
    So Far!

    I'll deny the similarities.

    A one off advisory referendum where all the main players on the losing side accepted the vote numbers and that they had lost, and where the response was to want another democratic vote when the details are known (even the lib dems wanted another general election vote before overturning it)... vs a constitutionally defined election to a position in government where the leader of the losing side says that it's a fraud with no evidence.

    Hth.

    Someone is in denial...

    You could take a long hard look at your actions and accept you were wrong.

    You and all the other remoaners are no better than these people at the Trump march because you represent the same thing in attempting to overturn a democratic outcome.

    I thought they were mostly marching for a second referendum rather than a straight up reversal. But facts don't matter these days.
  • So your position is that this will cause untold damage to democracy, but you like it because I don't?

    It doesn't bother me, because it won't work, and makes Trump look ridiculous.

    Democracy doesn't stop fixed for ever more after one vote at one moment in time.

    Trump supporters are every bit as entitled to protest as Remainers were.

    They're every bit as entitled to oppose the new President's agenda as parliament was to oppose the May's Brexit deal.




    I'm not sure what's complicated.

    There is one action that everyone can take that reaps rewards.
    Cuts down on meaningless threads too. 😉
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    But it seems some posters on here don't like the idea that they are like Trump supporters.

    Possibly because having the same entitlement to partake in democracy as Trump supporters doesn't mean they are like Trump supporters.

    The second referendum was not the position they started with.

    However, they are the same in that neither are accepting the outcome of the vote...
