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

Donald Trump made the deal for the US to leave Afghanistan. What the hell are you sniffing?

It's the sales principle. It's worth what you can sell it for.

It's beyond simple-minded to think Harris could stand on a ticket of green energy, free education, free healthcare, gun control, free abortions for everybody, gun control and win the presidency in a country that is quickly becoming the first world equivalent of Afghanistan under the Taliban.

You might as well field Greta Thunberg as presidential candidate.

Ideals are a jolly nice thing, but they don't count for sh1t in an election where the voters decide what they want in a candidate and the US is a long way from becoming a fully green, gun free, socialist, inclusive, nettle tea drinking paradise.

It's about what you can sell, because anything else is nothing but cloud cuckoo thinking.

Given the public response to her, I'd say it was a pretty great selection of candidate. Trump fans must have pretty short memories if they've forgotten her handling of Trump in the debate. Given your weird level of disgust at readily available sanitary products, maybe you're just not comfortable with women in positions of power.

All those packed stadiums for her rallies, yeah she really isn't connecting.

Per the NYT:

Also on the campaign trail: former President Barack Obama, who will host a rally in Pittsburgh this evening, the first of a series of appearances to support Ms. Harris in the final stretch of the campaign. In his speech at the Democratic convention in August, Mr. Obama cast Ms. Harris as the inheritor of the movement he created with his 2008 campaign.

"Comrade Kamala" "Tampon Tim" "DEI". All Trump's supporters have is school yard name calling of the bully's who never grew up and repeating simple slogans/phrases that mean nothing.

Is there any chance at all, that any of those Trump supporters or "centrist" who seem to have found their voices in the last few weeks could maybe I don't know make a coherent statement, as to why they are supporting Trump. What policies has he promised to implement that will make your lives better and/or represent your beliefs?

Bookmakers, ah yes, they always get it right, don't they ;)

Biden has said she has played a role in every decision he has made.

They went for the race and gender agenda thinking it would work and most people are fed up with that crap.

Biden was sharp as tack before the debate

Despite Trump and Vance kicking up a fuss about the terrible and contrary to public good job Biden and Harris were doing in helping the public stay safe from the hurricanes and Trump harping on about how voting was at risk, two members of his staff, Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles called on North Carolina and Governor Roy Cooper, a Democrat and an ally of Vice President Kamala Harris, and the Republican-controlled state legislature to make sure that voters in a county hit by Helene could vote from their current location rather than their local precinct.

The following, and the named persons interchange, are from yesterday news media but it still has value.

Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles also asked to be able to dispatch a bipartisan team of election officials to assist voters with requesting absentee ballots and delivering them; allow for Sunday voting; and to allow voters displaced in another county to have a provisional ballot, among other various priorities.

“Swift action from the North Carolina General Assembly and the governor will ensure the people of their state have their voices heard on November 5th,” LaCivita and Wiles wrote.

All of these provisions make sense, given that Hurricane Helene has made it harder for people to cast their ballot. But it also directly contradicts Trump’s regular disavowals of mail-in voting and provisional ballots, as well as his regular calls to only have in-person voting. Just last month in North Carolina, Trump told rallygoers: “I would rather see one-day voting, paper ballots, voter ID, and proof of citizenship, and we have a nice, honest election.”

It doesn't take much to see who's interest it would be to stymie the usual voting procedures, beyond that done by the hurricanes [past and to come] certainly not the other nominee for the White House. Trump protests too much of his concern for the electorate's ability to elect him freely in line with the restrictions he wants to impose on the voters. Similarly with his thoughts about locking up people who use their vote freely outside the manner he approves of.

Your reply has absolutely nothing to do with what I said, so you may have quoted me by mistake. We all agree that Harris's polling is far more competitive with Trump's than Biden's was. OK, good.

wtf is that, jesus

He was referring to Bidens empty rallies during covid with theses gems of social distancing circles

Reporting out that the Trump campaign is refusing to sign required documents for potential federal transition either in another sign that either Trump doesn't believe he will win (something the Russians don't believe either, or the Chinese, or the Iranians, they're all planning to use psyops to deny the outcome of the 2024 election), or in a sign that he will simply implement Project 2025, since the transition project requires pre-vetting of transition picks ahead of election day, playing ball with the transition efforts would notably force Trump to either have to appoint some throwaway stand-ins like he did in 2016 (he fired his transition team after he won and started anew) or for him to begin disclosure that would confirm he's just going to install Project 2025 personnel (and in 2020 as incumbent, Trump infamously suspended presidential transition efforts and attempted an autocoup instead). Signing the documents would mean Trump would gain access to millions of taxpayer dollars for a transition, however the catch is it would mean Trump isn't allowed to raise money from foreign entities or anyone exceeding $5,000 - and since Trump is behind on fundraising and leaning heavily into big plate spenders and foreign interests, it's hardly a shock he doesn't want to sign that agreement even for the carrot of a big lump sum of money (On Aug. 10 for example he held a fundraiser starting at $5,000/plate, up to $250,000; and in may he privately courted oil executives for at least $1 Bn for him to deregulate their industry). Trump has never turned down a free dollar without a deeply conceited reason to before, which suggests very conniving reasons for doing so here.
