Vice President Kamala Harris vs Donald Trump 2024

You've been attacked for being completely and utterly disingenuous in your postings, your attacks on Harris are based off a lie that you've repeatedly tried to claim, and yet repeatedly disproven.

It would seem an easy win to lay out your policies in an interview, especially when your opponent hasn't laid out any

Well, you can disagree if you wish. But the essential thrust is this. When the alternative to Option A is much, much, worse, then, yes, your difficulties with Option A become moot. One can beat the Democrats all they wish over Gaza, but just across the table is a far more egregious position that will, essentially, let Netanyahu and his band of yooyas do what they want.

People such as yourself and myself will, undoubtedly have problems with the Democrats' approach to the Middle East and it's right to be critical of them. Both parties are beholden to a "US policy" with regards to Israel that allow them to close their eyes to utterly abhorrent behaviour on behalf of their ally in the region. That, very much, has to change and probably won't any time soon. I think, however, that there's much more of a chance in the Democrats changing tack than there is amongst this MAGA crew, even if it's only slightly.

However, everything we have heard says that the Republicans (especially under the custodianship of Trump and his MAGA goons) would be worse by a much greater degree and that's not something that can be hand waved away because of the problems with the Democrats attitudes to Gaza.

Implicitly, that is what they are doing. No ifs, no buts, no maybes.
It is clear Trump would be worse on every metric for Palestinians.

As for "craic up with glee and see the funny side of it" - read that line back to yourself. I don't know where that came from.

Palestinian Americans are as well able to piss on their fellow Americans as Trump voters or Kamala abstainers.

I don't think what happened in 2020 has any real relevance. Biden did awful in 2008 and came back and won in 2020, and then won a general election.
Plenty of strong candidates who would make a decent stab at President don't win primaries.
It's a different situation trying to stand out in a crowded field, versus a general election. Especially a crowded field of quality candidates who appeal to similar parts of your base.
I think she would have won the primary, repeatedly so on this thread. Whenever a VP had stood in a Democratic primary, they have won. I don't see any of the other candidates being of such clear quality they'd overcome her head start as VP, with the profile that gives with donors and the base. The other candidates mentioned are decent candidates, but not on another level to Harris. Maybe Whitmer but she seemed reluctant to run.

I think given the short media cycles, this has worked out well for the Democrats, avoiding a fractious, expensive primary. Harris coming onto the scene at this point, general voters sit up and take notice, probably more notice than they would to the primaries.

At this stage of the game, I haven't seen anything to suggest she wouldn't make a good \ capable President.
The indications are she is a centrist Democrat, maybe a little more to the left than Biden but nothing to frighten the horses or the markets.
It is not just about her, it is about her administration.
Nothing of major difference to Clinton, Obama, Biden at an administration level.

Define a 'good' President?
She may not 'inspire' people the way that Clinton or Obama did but you don't get candidates like that all the time.
I think she would be a responsible President, actually intent on trying to improve things on the ground for Americans.

Nothing personal but I often don't bother reading links. Perhaps you want to summarise the main points?

Apparently they’re still going to be “Trump supporters” "

Indeed .You catch on quick.
