Vice President Kamala Harris vs Donald Trump 2024

You’ll meet a few in here who will say Trump had nothing to do with that.

If you check the posts of Trump supporters on it, they tend to sell display it as best they can. You'd think it was a tour of the Capitol.

Trump supporters haven't defamed Harris enough to impact her because their attention was not on her.

Trump supporters applied pressure too early to get Biden to step down.

Trump supporters now have to deal with the jibes about a geriatric Presidental candidate themselves.

They fashioned this stick with which to beat themselves.

According to all reports, Michelle Obama has zero desire to get involved in electoral politics.

Fact check

"Yanks have short attention spans and get bored easily "

That would be the worst thing the Dems could do in terms of election strategy. If Harris takes over now, Trump gets to campaign against her as POTUS. Any slip-ups, any incident or disaster that happens “on her watch”, Trump can blame her for, or claim that her response is inadequate. He can always say “I would have done better”, and never have to prove it. She would spend her 4-and-a-bit-months Presidency constantly on the back foot, on the defensive, without ever having the advantage of the first 3 years of her term to prove herself the way most Presidents do. She’s much better off campaigning on a platform of being the future President, rather than the current one. The fact of her merely being the candidate is a big enough platform in itself.

If Biden stays on as President, Trump has to campaign on two fronts - against Harris as his competitor, but still against Biden as the incumbent. Trump is already falling into the trap of wasting energy on calling for Biden to step down as Pres. But Biden has absolutely nothing to lose by staying on. And Harris has nothing to gain by replacing him now, so it’s in the Dem’s interests to let Trump at it.

What the Republicans need to do now is forget about Biden altogether, or at least frame Harris as a “Continuity Biden”, and shift their focus to her. But I don’t think Trump will be able to resist wasting at least some of his time attacking Biden.

Trump is attacking Harris as Joe's current VP

She can campaign all she likes on being future POTUS but she'll be attacked for her current role in Biden's administration

That's the strategy assuming she's the nominee

I see that Kamala Harris's Jamaican father may have an Irish ancestor.

If she gets in, we might have a 24th (of 46) Irish US president.

Need to find the village the ancestors came from next.

Who is running their country?

Joe Biden

a president egging on people resulting in violence.

what should be the punishment for that?

I think of that stuff akin to the Catholic Church “nothing to see here, just shut up and do what we say” approach to all the abuses they did in the past. There’s simply a cult of personality and extremist divide and nobody rational left in the Republican Party to provide a dissenting voice.

It’s funny reading “yeh but Biden/Dems are dodgy, bad, corrupt” responses. Yes, there are skeletons in their closet and to be frank they are in many ways as culpable and wickedly self absorbed as the republicans. But there are different levels of corruption and unethical stances on this.

Trump is just about the worst piece of sh*t kind of person you could pick or want leading into a time where it seems like they are gonna deconstruct the rules that used to protect Americans from a rogue president. I won’t repeat what he’s done, but he’s as corrupt, manipulative and dangerous a character as you could have in such an important country to the world.

The fact he is standing so strong is as big an endictment against the democrats. There’d be nothing more beautifully poetic than Trump/republicans losing this election to a black American woman. I mean that’s nearly the bingo of “f**k you” rejection to the republicans and it would be deserving.

The scary thing is how many of them eat it up.

Harris going for election is really a no lose situation for the democrats.

If she wins then fair enough but if she loses they can blame it all on her being a "woman of colour" and say the reason she didn't win is due to racism and sexism.

Seems to me this whole election show show broken Politics in America is that out of over 350 million people this is the best America can do a sleazebag crook like Trump and Harris whom nobody likes and who essentially got her start in politics due to her relationship with Willie Brown.
