Vice President Kamala Harris vs Donald Trump 2024

Really critical of Vance, and regards him as a bad mistake by Trump which will end in tears.

The talk before Biden's departure was Trump was so confident of victory he didn't heed any political calculations in his choice of running mate, just picked the guy he had taken the biggest shine to. May well be regretting that now.

Huh?

The US government is made up of three pillars of legislation. The president, the senate and the house are all equal.

What is stopping the Republicans who run the house from denouncing Putin?

No. Lefty culture spreads much further in daily life than right wing political culture. Political correctness gets welcomed by business and employers, as its a source of virtue for those pushing it. And its good for sales to appease women consumers who control household spending. And recruitment. Its inclusive which makes for open expression. Its alway good and acceptable to push p.c. Above all its safe, in work and in the pub.

Right wing tends to be seen as dour, dry and unfriendly, exclusive. Youll be pushed to find workplaces harping on about being less inclusive as legal danger looms in that direction. Ive yet to see any flags from a right wing movement outside a multinational here in Ireland. Its more quiet. (Maga being an exception). Most people tend to shut up about it.

This difference in public acceptability of left and right is maybe why those who voted Brexit were apparently hard to find for some time, before and after the result. Everyone hated those mean old brexiters, they were racists. But at the same time 52 of the UK voters voted for them. So it seems some people had a convenient sudden change of heart at the voting booth.

So basically with a dem win it looks like a good chance of an increase in daily mandatory p.c. fun. A lot of privilege checking and desktop flags for already worn down average dudes.

The prospect could cause them to run to safety in the other camp.

Well, firstly, if Trump's team were planning to use the ideas and suggestions of Project 2025, would they loudly crow about it, knowing its potential to turn centrists against them, or would they wait until they're in power and then implement the plans when there's much less ability to stop them?

I'm sick of this talk about Trump's second presidency being some kind of unknown quantity. He literally created and/or helped promote a massive conspiracy theory about the 2020 election and sat back while some of his followers smashed into the US Capitol on the day the results were being certified. On what planet is anyone living to think that man would be moderate and sensible in a second term?

“Take me in oh tender woman,

“Take me in, for heaven's sake,

“Take me in oh tender woman,” sighed the snake.

The biggest focus is on the fact she's a highly capable politician and speaker. Her gender and race tends to be mentioned a lot simply for the fact that she's up against a racist misogynist. Plus as well for the obvious reason that it would be a first for the US. As a politician, she's barely left, let alone extreme left.

Donald Trump says a lot of things, most of which are inaccurate, misleading, or completely made up. Anything he says seems to be based entirely on what he thinks will make him look better at the moment he says it. Yes, all politicians lie, but I'm struggling to think of any who do it and frequently and pointlessly as that eejit.

If he told me it was going to be sunny I'd bring an umbrella.

Because they talk of other things as well?

well he’s let rapist men choose the mother of their children?

Oh, ok. So you're not against PC culture. Cool.

Apologies for the misunderstanding 😎

The history book will say "It took a Trump to get a black women elected President"

For some reason I’m envisioning a Hanmaidens Tale type dystopia

I see he is not interested in elaborating, just more drive by shooting
