Tactical voting will make it difficult for her, in a nutshell she will need more votes than all of the opposition put together

Not sure exactly where I should post this, I almost started a new thread but it looks like Lula may win in Brazil ! That's a start. Now we just need to get rid of trump, Putin, Kim Jon, and Netanyahu.

Sadly I think Le Pen is gonna win in France. The recent rioting/looting is gonna send people running to the right. AfD seem to be gaining ground in Germany as well.

I may distance myself from my previous remarks. Read more on Lula. Not a total fan. That's the problem these days, the choice is far Left or far Right.

Lula is still better than the alternative. Flavio Bolsonaro is a straight up Trump fan boy just like his convicted father. He already said he contests the election results and wants them annulled just like his idol Trump did. This win was a win for democracy:

Bolsonaro has also heavily courted the evangelical zealots - like Trump. His whole family is suspicious

Barring something crazy happening, the center-right should win in Spain next month and join with the Francoistas in a coalition, which would be a badly-needed win for your Team MAGA after Congress flips in the US

The students have ousted the right wing Government in Serbia. Oh no, they'll all be gay with blue hair and eating lentils by the end of the year!

Trump cost the right in the Brazil the election, the left ran a simple campaign, do you want the Brazilian flag to stay green and yellow or to become stars and stripes.

Why sadly? Her country has been absolutely sold down the river, for decades. Hopefully she can make France French again.

Because she's like Trump, a corrupt clown whose entire sales pitch is an appeal to emotion and magical thinking. The whole world should be looking at the US as a cautionary tale right now. They can be as mean as they want to immigrants it's not going to fix their fiscal situation.

I never touch Kale but Bok Choi, watch out! I just had some earlier. Delicious steamed.

If a race is considered even, the Republican virtually always wins.

Having said that, there are going to be some big changes.
the Democrats should win the house and really should won the Senate.

My home state of Iowa has been red for a while now. All 4 members of the House, both senators, the Governor are all Republicans, and the State House and Senate are dominated by Republicans.

This year, 2 of the House races could go the Democrats as well as the Senate Seat on the line and the Governor race. 2 years ago, it looked like there was maybe one House Race that looked like it could go the Democrats in 2026.
It is a like that in several places. We shall see.

DoJ already filing lawsuits against the Alaskan results, even before the election has started. Said they will continue them, if the Republican doesn't win.

It is entirely possible, that Trump and his team will try a bloodless coup and interfere with the certification processes for as long as they can. This could get nasty, given the Blue wave that everyone is predicting.

Trump had a similar effect in Canada - Carney was a massive underdog until Trump got involved.

Also if an incumbent is tied, the incumbent usually loses. Your state has the Dem favored to win the governorship but not the senate. Guess the Gov. candidate is more popular. Being a non Iowan I am far more interested in the senate race.

[Ambling Alp II]

The Senate race was close in the polls. Then The Democrat (Turek) went up by 10 in a poll. The Republican (Hinson) is in the House and I don't think she ever went against Trump. Immediately after the poll came out, she is now campaigning as "Bi-Partisan", and is suddenly against the Iran War after voting for it several times. Have not seen a poll since.

I think the Dems could actually win this.

A lot races all over the country that are going to be close. Just hope the Dems win 1/3 of the close ones.

Trump torpedoed Pierre Peckerhead's campaign.

Peckerhead was about to become Prime Minister until Trump started up on Canada.

That is why he wants tariffs on Canada. The little bitches feelings were hurt.

From the dawn of time that's the game the right have played, "your life is shit becuase of these people". I'm sorry but if someone comes over in a boat and steals your job, you need to have a long hard look at yourself.

What if they come over on a boat and kill your daughter with a screwdriver, stabbing them in the head 13+ times then go and make some tiktok dances afterwards?
