Vice President Kamala Harris vs Donald Trump 2024

you really think the Ukraine is of greater relevance than abortion when it comes to the election ?

not even close to healthcare and abortion (July 5 survey)

The fact that Manic is male, may explain the lack of concern on female choice about their own bodies. With SCOTUS now populated by questionable judges, checks and balances no longer are the norm.

looks like Trump took $10,000,000 from Egypt days before he became president…. Bill Barr shut down an investigation into it after intelligence agencies raised concern

If you assume it’s part of some scheme, could be to try and get his voter turnout to be skewed from his polling numbers to use that as a basis to cry foul and irregularities in the election results.

Sounds like it would carry as much weight as arguing that he won 2020 because his rallies were so big and Biden's so small. Polls may be indicative but I've never heard that they're in any way legally binding.

Besides, Trump and Co already tried to fight the results of the 2020 election and failed because they lacked any tangible proof.

But Trump obviously would try anything and mark my words on this - whatever seeds that Trump and MAGA have managed to sow under the banner of 'election security', we're definitely going to see whatever fruit they've managed to produce in the event that it looks like Harris winning - be that partisan circuit court judges or election officials or weird laws that GOP legislatures managed to slip under the net... We could see a lot of shitt pop up.

Absolutely brilliant. Simone Biles 'loves her black job'.

Reportedly Trump had Barr sabotage an FBI investigation into $9.998 Million cash that was allegedly paid to Trump as he took office in 2017

Trump seems to be really really pissed that Kamala Harris is campaigning in part on the line that she is a Prosecutor and he is a Convicted Felon

Trump, through this filing, also seems to think that a Judge cannot be impartial based on their close family member’s political activities.

Hmm….

tryna build his dead on arrival appeal case

The fundi's have litrally gone into end times madness. They think all the ducks are in a row for Armageddon and everything is a sign. The Democrats are Satan's representatives and we are about to see Israel wiped from the face of the earth.

You cannot in any way underestimate the impact this demographic have on the body politic and the tone of the discourse. If you don't understand it you cannot understand why Trump is where he is.

Then there are all the other CT Qanon craziest who have clustered around him. It's national psychosis all brought on by the marginalisation of white christian families and the mega churchs who's days are numbered.

A detailed analysis of this demographic;

https://vcresearch.berkeley.edu/news/crisis-faith-christian-nationalism-and-threat-us-democracy just remember that every single one of these fanatics will turn out to vote (from the article they represent 17% of the population but 25% of the overall vote share), since their souls and the soul of the nation depends on it.

So the enemy of the left is letharge and the cure is getting more of the majority population to vote. This is why there is a definite ceiling in Trumps vote but Harris could add 10% or more if she hits the various demographics correctly.

Flee! Flee! Flee!

Trump questioning Harris's ethnicity is taking up a lot of headlines, so much so that it's slightly obfuscating another potential headline which is that Trump didn't appear to know what D.E.I. meant, or that he possibly thought it was a word instead of an acronym. He kept asking the host for a definition, and the host would reply, 'it means diversity, equity and inclusion' and Trump would then again ask for a definition.

It just reinforces the idea that the American right wing either don't know or care what it means because that way it can mean whatever you want it to. Saying D.E.I. is a bad idea sounds a lot more palatable than saying diversity, equity and inclusion is a bad idea.

That's exactly what I'm saying. It's not just Trump, although not everyone who just uses the acronym for sloganeering would be as ignorant not to know what it means, but canny enough not to use the actual words, because it's a tough proposition to be against 'diversity, equity and inclusion' in a country that historically has had an ethnically diverse population with a historical record of discrimination along ethnic lines.

Which brings me to an additional point that those who criticise Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (accepting that there can be overreach and clumsy methods of its implementation) always seem to take the conclusion that it should be scrapped. Why not suggest how it could be improved so that it better serves everyone? When it's pointed out that the philosophy has led to people from a background like Trump's current VP pick getting more opportunities, it might give the American right-wing pause for thought that he is a 'DEI hire' and turn around that term which appears to currently be used as a racial slur.

"I just think back to when I was in Afghanistan: I didn't have kids, a lot of the people I served with, didn't have kids, but I can tell you every single one us of knew that our commitment to the future of this country was pretty [fcuking] physical." - Pete Buttigieg
