You'll see them supporting the likes of anti-mask protestors and on the antifa thread. The nearest thing they have to an actual political party is the National Party.

They might be a joke right now but not taking them seriously is a mistake.

I'm a trump supporter, certainly not an anti mask or anti vax and I DESPISE Justin Barret and the national party.

Is fox news still available to watch in Ireland?

Need a break from CNN.

Available online on youtube for live streams.
MSM deleted it from Sky

CNN iPhone/iPad app is not working for me (showing a live stream from a few hours ago).

Can't find a CNN live stream on YouTube.

Newscorp decided to remove it as it wasn't making enough ad revenue to cover the costs of the EPG listing

The majority of niche news channels on Sky are funded by a foreign government - others have to make their money from ads.

Do you think Trump will be better for the US? The World? The planet?

Seems odd, when no polls will have closed? Probably the ones about more general themes like the economy, Covid, etc, rather than party affiliation.

Take them with a grain of salt they will skew towards republican due to majority of early voting being done by democrats

It's all you've got given the entire Dail is composed of dirty leftists by US standards.

Or maybe left and right are useful anymore and there's more nuance to it.

Yes better for the US, Yes better for the world. Good to show a message that cancel culture is still not wanted.



The planet? Lol. I assume thats some greeny propaganda?

When you open the cnn iPhone app there’s a part that says watch now: CNN’s full coverage of Election Day. Dont click the watch tv thing in the top right corner. On the ipad it’s the first square on the left. And I’ve checked they do work.

That is true , there is a vacuum for a good right wing party here but since the PDs we havent had one.

With the Fl early voting stats being released at 12 midnight here. This can then be added to the possible ballot vote est IWT. But unless FL is a good bit one way or the other, we'll have to wait.

I wasn’t commenting either way of how good or bad they are. I was just saying they were being released at 10pm.

The PDs were realistically only economically right wing. If your main reason for supporting Trump is "cancel culture", you would not have found yourself happy with the PDs.

It’s nice for someone supporting trump in these threads to answer a question posed by someone. At least ELM seems like he’s not just supporting trump for the laugh.

Indeed. Something, something, lol, greeny propaganda. There's no answer to that.

It's the closest I'm going to get to a party that aligns to my viewpoints.
I'm not anti immigration (in an Aussie sense), I'm pro choice, pro LGBTQ rights etc.

I always have a little snigger when I hear people decry 'cancel culture' as if it were something new. It's been around since God was a child. Used to be the domain of journalists and political leakers. Who are screaming about it now because it's now a weapon that anyone can use. Often against them.

I'm now confident you aren't old enough to remember the PDs.

That much is evident. It's now enabled me to see your entire perspective on this libertarian guff. It's like a fad someone picked up in trinity on the windup because it got conversations going. So stayed with it.

No, but I remain uninformed nonetheless. The paucity of solid pro-Trump posters and arguments makes these threads quite boring.

Will be very interesting to see first round figures.

It would be something if Collins goes. She really deserves to after her shenanigans.

Pretty the system we use here in Ireland then yeah?

As I understand it, yes. There has been a gradual and very slow move towards ranked choice voting of some form or another over the last decade, but this is the first time i can recall it being "to 50%+1" from all candidates after multiple rounds, especially for high level office, at the State level. I personally believe it's the only way the political binariness will be reduced in the country. But, again, not sure what's in it for the "ruling party" of any state.

For those struggling to get a live CNN stream on the other site (ie not CNN or YT - google CNN live stream and it's the 5th link for me)- try it without your adblocker. I tried it in Firefox and worked (as opposed to Chrome with adblock).

Apologies if I'm being overly cryptic - not too sure the rules about posting a link to it on here.

CBS Justice started Law & Order from the start a while ago (they just finished season 4 and seems on a hiatus) this started in 1990 and the amount of pushing of ideals and agendas in those 3 seasons would surprise people. I mean they sacked 2 people at the end of season 3 to bring in more women (as per Wolffe). So ya these "new ideas" are nothing new now just now aimed different
