Vice President Kamala Harris vs Donald Trump 2024

In order to preserve democracy you need to use your vote.

The force and bullying was when Trump incited a mob to storm the Capitol. Not on a discussion forum where posters spell out the possible implications of voters abstaining and not supporting the only actual small d democrat in the race who can stop Trump.

Cubism? You can call it whatever you like, your claims still have zero credibility.

The point with Vance is that he has courted an extreme right wing voter demographic - and they bite him on the ass by been racist to his wife. Why should anyone be surprised at the outcome.

I think it's disgusting that the right wing base of MAGA is hating an Indian women - but not remotely surprised.

And it is missing the point entirely ... no criticism of the actual hateful racists but the poster who draws attention to the racism instead gets it.

Cant be bursting the "See no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil" bubble when it comes to racist MAGA types seemingly.

Pointing out that Trump supporters are racist is highly relevant to this discussion.

Indeed, but this is also used as cover.

The equivalent of someone who knows that can't openly support e.g. Putin, so instead they endlessly criticise and nitpick his opposition, okay but it quickly becomes absurd because Putin is objectively magnitudes worse.

There's plenty of normal criticism for e.g. Harris, I'm not a big fan myself and have criticised her in the past - but if I solely focused on criticism of her, on minor points, whilst at the same time ignoring the major flaws in her opponent - then my agenda would quickly become obvious.

That's what occurs here a lot, to repeat once again, we have candidate A supporters who play a game of "sitting on the fence" simply because they know they can't defend that candidate. And revert back to acting up when called out on the obvious.

Look, I'll make it really simple for you because you've spent the last couple of days skirting around a lot of bollocks talk with your posting here.

Would you rather have yourself cut in half from the waist down or your toe cut off? And to clarify, having your toe cut off is choosing Harris.

Because, put simply, that's the analogy you need to think on.

In American politics, if often comes down to the least worst option because that's inherent in their two party system, and in this particular race Harris and the Democrats are BY FAR the least worst option and no amount of if, buts and maybes are going to change that.

To the American voter, I would say what is the least amount of damage you can do with your vote given the options that are on the table.

As far as I'm concerned there are no optimal choices in the US political landscape. However, with the options that are on the table, it's ABUNDANTLY clear that Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party are the least damaging option when the opposite side of the table is occupied by Donald Trump and his MAGA version of the Republican Party.

I'll be perfectly honest here, I don't particularly like Kamala Harris, I find her kinda abrasive, and I'm also not that much of a fan of the Democratic Party either who I find are too much wedded to big business (largely due to the trappings of how US politics works). However, in a two horse race, they really are the only game in town.

Because the alternative is much, much, worse.

He’s taken just about every position on the subject, the ultimate flip flopper. Everything from there “has to be a punishment” for a woman, for getting an abortion, to being pro abortion, to 6 weeks, to over 6 weeks, to “proudly” taking responsibility for ending Roe, to denying any responsibility for ending Roe, and on and on and on.

As the 2022 midterms especially showed, women are sick to death of the right both creating this health crisis for them and for the deliberate creation of chaos and uncertainty on what is happening and what will happen with the laws being written to govern their bodies.

a Twitter dump.

Trump gave incoherent, rambling responses during his debate with Biden, virtually none of his answers even stuck on the topic asked, much less addressed them. That this was overshadowed by Biden’s performance at the debate seems to be giving MAGA much false confidence in their geriatric candidate.

Suggesting that she’s going to get “destroyed” by Hannibal shark battery man seems like wishful thinking.

I couldn't believe someone would actually say that about their own wife, let alone a person running for political office, so I looked it up. Not surprisingly, that's not a quote from him at all. What he actually said:

"I love my wife so much. I love her because she's who she is. Obviously, she's not a white person, and we've been accused, attacked by some white supremacists over that. But I just, I love Usha. She's such a good mom."

Trump seemingly reveals that he’s being led around by handlers and has limited control or knowledge of his schedule:

Signs of old age. Trump in apparent surprise told the crowd he thought he would be giving a prepared speech, until he got told differently by his handlers and learned he was at an event hosted by Tulsi Gabbard.

“I figured I was going to come here and we’re going to make a speech. I have a speech all set for you. I was ready. [And they said, you’re] doing a town hall. I said, ‘Oh, nobody told me that.’ I said, ‘Who’s doing this? Tulsi?’ I said, ‘Well, that’s at least good news.’
