Amazing idea to break up an alliance that has kept the West safe for 80 years after two World Wars, and fulfill Putin’s lifelong dream, because the EU is being mean to Elon.

Lindner has the dubious distinction of Nobel laureate economists warning in the press that he's a nutcase and shouldn't be near the finance ministry.

@halvarflake I think they also failed to clearly communicate what they are running on. "Not Trump" isn't sufficient. Describe a vision for the country.
They clung to Biden for too long. Kamala needed more runway to establish a profile for herself.

A thought about the Dem loss: There are multiple factions on the left - one centered on social justice ("woke"), classical "tax rich to redistribute" leftism, and centre-left pro-business centrists. In this election, the Dems failed in triangulating between them.

Donald Trump — the twice impeached former president, Jan. 6 coup leader, convicted felon, adjudicated sexual abuser, and man who mismanaged the 2020 economic implosion and coronavirus disaster that killed more than 1 million people in this country — has convinced American voters to give him another term in the White House.

@halvarflake And he's so right. Karen Lindner is such a childish boneheaded idiot.

Scholz’s address is the best speech he has given in a long time.
And it is absolutely scathing about Lindners behavior.

So Trump returns, but Europe has changed. In many ways, its hand is poorer. War in Ukraine, UK out of EU, Paris and Berlin weak, Covid economic scars, societies polarised, Hungary full rogue, bit player in ME. Some progress too, but the truth is, vital action will now be harder.

Only 8% of Finns would vote for Trump.
Both Trump and Harris are right wing by our standards. All right wing conservatives in Finland support free healthcare and free schools/universities. There's never any debate about those topics here. They are considered basic rights.

"Trump is simply the perfect stooge of hostile powers — someone so focused on fighting internal enemies that he refuses to do anything about external ones."
This seems to be an issue that republicans usually care about? Hopefully it can swing a few votes

Trump is clearly easily manipulated by his desire to get applause from whoever - so who will actually hold the strings after this election? Bannon? Kushner? More opaque this time around.

This is so weird. I am going to vote for the guy that did not accept the election results and staged a coup, told us he won’t accept these election results, and wants to be a dictator, but let me give you a lecture on unity and civility. So weird.

I believe that @realDonaldTrump will win in a decisive victory and potentially a landslide Electoral College outcome tomorrow. I could of course be totally wrong, but that helps elevate an important point. Approximately half the country will be unhappy about the election outcome, potentially devastatingly so. In this context, I think it is important to remember that we are one country, and we will survive whoever is our next president. What we must avoid, however, is a world where our fellow citizens who are disappointed raise hell or otherwise revolt about the outcome. The peaceful transfer of power is a critical feature of our democracy that must be maintained for us to succeed. The system is stronger than any one candidate. We will thrive long term no matter the outcome of this election because the system will heal itself. That’s been a feature of our democracy for nearly 250 years and I expect it to continue. Let’s therefore be civil and accept the collective will of our democratic process. We have many enemies that want internecine battles in America to weaken us. We cannot let this happen. The world is a dangerous place and we need to be unified to protect our country and our children.

Still totally not a genocide. Fencing in millions of people, continuously bombing them while starving them to death is a perfectly acceptable strategy of war. Why do we in the West keep supporting this atrocity?!
