Momma There Goes That Man Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Whether she wins or loses, it was the right decision to make the switch because she is going to give it everything she has, and it doesn’t seem like team Biden was. 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this issue does exists right now, at least partially. There is of course stuff that shan't be discussed on a public message board, but there's a few really good docs (PBS' one is particularly good) on Putin at least, and how his interactions with the past couple of presidents has led directly to where we are now with Ukraine. How nuclear armed dictators perceive and interact with our president not an issue? lol Ok..... i have been trying...and can't think of a SINGLE reason you would be putting Harris here with Trump other than because she is woman Harris, the kick-ass former prosecutor that is best known for her sharp-as-nails evisceration of liars (particularly Trump during the impeachment hearings) during her stint as Senator. Please correct me if i am wrong... is there a reason other than "she is a woman". if i am NOT wrong...then what ****ing century are you living in??? DO you think Putin thought that Germany and the EU were suddenly so much tougher/stronger/respectable because Merkel was replaced by Scholz? it is frankly a disgusting misogynistic position.... and deserves to be shoved back in your face with mustard smeared all over it.

Fergasun Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Can we re-visit all the polls on "Would you elect a convicted felon to the White House." 'Cause there was supposed to be a huge swing that would determine the election. That's really discouraging. Trump's not even legally allowed to run his own Corporation without a judge appointed observer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumbo Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 It makes unfortunate sense that Biden had slower reacting amateurs in his digital/social media group compared to hipster fifty nine year old. Imagine the future, hopefully near future, when a worthy candidate in the 35-45 y.o. range is running. Hip, slick, happenin', rad, gnarly, boss, and cool. 😛🤡😀 1 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds cool until ee start to feel the impact of the population collapses in East Asia, Russia, and Western Europe. It'd behoove Harris to try to come after expanded child tax credit and help with daycare costs like Biden tried to do with BBB. Make human cloning legal. The planet is overpopulated.

With Kamala, two things are different-- 1) She gets to set the tone for who she is. Republicans don't have two decades to lay the groundwork 2) Younger voters aren't buying the narratives that Republicans like to feed them about shrill unlikeable career women. Gen Z and younger Millennials are perfectly comfortable with accomplished women. In fact if someone does have a problem with accomplished women, they see it as a sign of insecurity. (Mind you when I talk about Gen Z and younger Millennials, that's every voter between 18 and ~35 years old). Kamala will be well positioned to go after Trump in the debates and it'll be hilarious. Not only will it help her with a key demographic, but the optics of Trump getting beat down by a black woman won't go well with his 'Alpha Male' demographics. Unfortunately, Hillary had to basically debate him with one arm tied behind his back. He got to say the most vile things on earth and he she had to not be too mean to him. you are overly optimistic here on all fronts. the hate-wagon has been pissing on Harris for years, both because they have known she has always been an upcoming threat, and also because pissing on women is such an easy/popular task among the red-hat faithful. you are also too enthusiasti about the young vote (we all fall for this every election), and only talking to young-adults in your circles... young-adults in red-hat areas won't sound the same. The young vote isn't trending away from Trump as much as it should (its no more-so than 2016, 2020), and the young both don't vote enough AND are too easily distracted by stupid transparent efforts, anyway. in this election there will continue to be all sorts of efforts to keep down progressive youth enthusiasm using tactics that SHOULDN'T work --- lack of progress on climate change, West Bank suffering, DistrictAttorney Harris part of the meanie establishment...... young voters have been proven to be easily distracted/discouraged by trees, and constantly lose sight of forests (they easily forget that Trump would be worse on EVERYTHING they care about, but get disgruntled by the non-utopian choice before them and say **** like "they are all the same") Edited July 26 by mcsluggo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fergasun Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 This is actually pretty lame and underwhelming. If I was running for office I would ask to be driven around in a black S500, with the interior set to exactly 71 degrees. And I would tell them what my spread looks like, like a rock star (unlike them it would be fruit and veggie trays, with Iced Tea). Actually, maybe JD Vance asked for Diet Mountain Dew, Snickers bars and Lays potato chips. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The young vote isn't trending away from Trump as much as it should (its no more-so than 2016, 2020), and the young both don't vote enough AND are too easily distracted by stupid transparent efforts, anyway. Don't bet on that: https://www.axios.com/2024/07/25/poll-harris-biden-trump-young-voters Vice President Kamala Harris is significantly more popular among America’s youngest voters than President Biden, a new Axios/Generation Lab poll shows. Why it matters: Former President Trump appeared to be chipping away at Democrats' decades-long hold on the youth vote. But Harris could be extending the gap once again. By the numbers: The survey — fielded entirely after Biden stepped aside on Sunday — asked respondents which candidate they'd support in Biden-Trump and Harris-Trump matchups. In a Biden-Trump race, the split among 18- to 34-year-olds was 53% for Biden and 47% for Trump, giving Biden a 6-point lead. But in a Harris-Trump contest, the same respondents split 60% for Harris and 40% for Trump — a 20-point lead for Harris. 45% of young people say they have an extremely or somewhat favorable opinion of Harris. 33% say the same for Biden, along with 34% for Trump. Zoom in: Gen Z and millennial voters were key to Biden's 2020 victory, turning out in huge numbers and favoring him by 20 points in 2020, per a Pew Research Center analysis. *********** Gen Z voters were key to Biden winning in 2020, where he was favored by these voters by 20 points. Harris is currently favored by these voters by 20 points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fergasun Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 And why would Trump drop out of the debate? Why can't he just say, "I agreed to ABC on Sept.10.... i will debate any time, any place. So we will keep the Sept 10 date. Hope it goes better for the new guy than the last one." Fox News is asking to add 17 September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that’s across the board - look at how people react when dems are criticized here. they’d rather point at the other guys issues and try to shift the focus to that Trump being a felon only matters if someone somewhere has the balls to either actually put him in jail, or use the laws about eligibility against him (someone tried and failed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
