Harris Vs Trump 2024 US Presidential election - read the warning in the OP posted 18/09/24

Its clear that there are two standards here, one for Trump and one for Harris.

Now we are getting somewhere.

I don't believe she's planning to do that given the bi-partisan border bill she has been espousing (she did look to de-fund ICE by 4% in 2019 but has doubled it as VP, unless you don't think she's responsible for the border?).

But that's beside the point of whether she answered the question or not as you are claiming.

Mark Robinson's campaign manager, deputy campaign manager, finance director, and senior advisor have all have all stepped down.

Is trump still backing him?

Trump was at a Greensboro NC rally over the weekend and didn't even utter his name.

I think it's fair to say Robinson's scandal will depress voter turnout for Republicans. You may also see similar to 2020 where the top of ticket loses big while the bottom of ticket still does fine, with voters either flipping for Harris or leaving the top of ticket blank/write-in.

School choice is being implemented as a framework by republicans to reintroduce segregation in education tbh. It has the effect of taking public funds and funneling them into schools that still have a high bar to entry for disadvantaged people, and many school voucher programs forbid government accountability, which is how in Florida private schools are teaching creationism, or that 'satan created psychology' with public money (so much for the establishment clause), the private schools also aren't held to any standard state testing or accreditation. For parents that can afford the time and money to send diddums to a charter school many miles away, it's no problem, but for everyone else it can lead (and in some cases has led) to education/school 'deserts' where it is difficult or impossible to locally access adequate education. Pennsylvania has been a leading case study in the exploration of the school deserts phenomenon, where student enrollment has dropped as the push for school choice has pushed on.

If Republicans really wanted to promote student attentiveness in schools instead of funneling billions of dollars into whacko religious for-profit black holes maybe they could start with universal school lunches instead: universal school lunches were the standard during Covid, and as a result, attentiveness shot up, because wouldn't you know it a child who isn't starving has less problems focusing on the curriculum (John Oliver did a piece on this recently). But wouldn't you know it, Republicans were furious about continuing to fund it, because 'what if we accidentally feed a child from a rich family?'

That same argument doesn't seem to apply to their school choice push though, they want no means testing to hand parents a voucher for government money to put it in whatever pop-up school you want with very limited oversight into how the money is ever spent. And yet: A3 Charter schools pleaded guilty to stealing $400M in public funds, siphoning $50M+ to a third party company they owned, and failed to deliver promised student services; Epic Charter Schools is also under an embezzlement investigation and wouldn't you know it they just conveniently lost a ton of student's school records; IDEA Charter schools has been placed under a conservatorship in Texas. The list goes on, from individual schools to whole networks of schools operating as corporations.

Second episode of Channel 4's documentary on 2020 up on YouTube in case you missed it on TV.

It just gets worse in that I'm constantly reminded of mad stuff that Trump said at this time.

He actually called Georgia SOS an 'enemy of the people' for standing behind that state's vote. WTF!!

Does anyone on this thread actually agree with Trump's stance at this time?

he wants education taken away from the federal government

Myth check: the State Legislatures govern education, not the Federal Government…

10th Amendment:

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Trump not being loyal to someone he repeatedly praised and who was an ardent supporter of his? I'm shocked. I wonder what Laura Loomer thinks about it…

Notice she still supports Trump, just not the Republican party

Classic autocratic setup there, you can't criticise the top man because that would be suicidal, so you blame everyone around him

Meanwhile the dictator is safe because everyone under him is too busy fighting each other to lift a finger against him

And people are actually voting for Trump after seeing this crap? Might as well be the last vote you'll ever cast if he gets in

To the Trump supporters in the US reading this, enjoy the supervised elections in 2028 when Trump goes for his 3rd term. Those lads with the guns from the "citizens militia" are just there to ensure there's no election fraud. They'll probably be handing out pre ticked ballots just to help people make the right decision

Did this happen in 2016 or 2020? Surely this sort of thing must start hitting into Trump's support?

A bipartisan collection of 741 former senior national security leaders, comprised of over 230 general and flag officers including 15 retired four-star generals and admirals, 10 cabinet secretaries, 10 service secretaries, and 148 ambassadors, today endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to serve as president of the United States. Organized by National Security Leaders for America, the group characterized the election as “a choice between serious leadership and vengeful impulsiveness. It is a choice between democracy and authoritarianism.” In the letter, the group says Vice President Harris will “make an excellent Commander-in-Chief.”

The letter’s signers include many Republicans, former Republicans who left the party following former President Trump’s election, and independents.
