Vice President Kamala Harris vs Donald Trump 2024

Looking at the last few pages it's clear the Dems had a fantastic night

Capitalism is supposed to be about competition between business, and this competition - this free marketplace - is supposed to benefit everyone because businesses must always be figuring out how to provide a product or service better and cheaper in order to stay on top.

You say that Capitalism always tends towards monopoly and price gouging. I agree, but this is true in the sense that all societal and economic systems are eventually gamed by people in order to figure out how to selfishly benefit them instead of wider society. These systems are a function of the humans which comprise them and so are inherently imperfect.

Like any competition, Capitalism needs a decent referee to adjudicate and ensure that the spirit of the thing is being adhered to. A big part of that is seeing that the free market is not made unfree by one massive competitor controlling the market and setting the rules.

If that doesn't happen, then what would eventually come about is that the worst excesses of Capitalism become the norm and people revolt, and would the resulting system be any better?

0.1/10 …try harder

You forgot to mention that he is also Putin plant who stole the 2016 election, tried to blow up the clouds, told people to inject bleach, called dead soldiers "suckers", farted and snoozed his way thru his latest court case, called white supremacists "fine people", lied 35,000 times whilst in office, appointed a rapist to the Supreme Court, tried to blow up George Floyd protesters so he could take a picture in a church, tried to overthrow the government, tried to hijack his own presidential limo on Jan 6th…I'm probably forgetting a few!!

I have to say, I am thoroughly enjoying this election cycle for pure entertainment….this thread alone is a great read!!

Her crowds are so enthusiastic …it's fun fun fun

The border was never her job

Congress. They make the laws

Democrats over there are genuinely bat **** crazies …round of applause for this

I 'd be full sure many of these convention goers are plants or paid ……on both sides

why are so many on here so enthusiastic about it all, not American can never vote guess it's a bit like picking a side in sport and all the rivalry that goes with it

If that statistic is correct, it means that he told approximately one recorded lie for every single hour he was POTUS. Some going.

100%. GOP were all set to approve and pass the bipartisan bill until Trump decreed that they stop the bill as he didn't want Biden to get the kudos.

So the state of the border is definitely due to the GOP.

But who is to blame for the failure to build the promised wall? Who is to blame for failing to get Mexico to pat anything towards it, never mind pay the full amount?

No need to guess.

Im not the one "just asking questions" about the border who seems unaware of the need for legislation in the US to be passed by Congress, and that a bipartisan bill on the border was blocked when Trump ordered Republicans in the House to do a flip flop on it.

Trump is a leader of the Republican Party who are in power via their majority in the House.

For Trump and then his Republican stooges opposing Biden was more important than trying to solve a problem they'd been claiming as a crisis.

There is only one party in the US trying to govern responsibly.

I dont think anyone ever said that. Just that he was considerably better than the criminal who has confessed to having memory issues.

And particularly galling when Trumps rambling, incoherent and nonsensical rants, involving messing up people's names, place names, details etc and almost nothing is said.

Sure that is just Trump seems to be the way it's treated.

Nobody can honestly listen to any of his speeches or answers and not be concerned about his mental capacity. To call out Biden without any mention of Trump is massive hypocrisy
