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

@MrAnarchy

Im not sure who would be a better President, Trump or Harris, there are pros and cons for both.

Come on then, give us the Trump pros.

No Trump supporters on here are though AFAIK.

So you've no problem with what was posted about Trump, if you don't well that's on you.

Thank you. It's good to see another poster with some moral standards.

Put it this way. In my opinion the world would undoubtedly be a better place without DJT in it.

If nature did takes it's course soon, I can see the upside. That ok?

But why the ignoring of Trump saying much worse? He called for a general to be executed and claimed he was part of a deep state conspiracy, he was basically behaving like Alex Jones. You've repeatedly indicated that you want him to be president in spite of constant unacceptable behavior.

Yeah “They’re eating the DOGS” not hysterical at all.

…..

No faux outrage. I dont actually give a fuff. I dont think I contributed ever to this thread before this post. So please spare me your rant ok?

It's just something I happened to notice and I felt I might comment on. Of course within a deeply entrenched debate thats nearly impossible, I get that. But a little less of the hysteria would be nice all the same.

It is not whataboutery. It is about establishing what are these standards for what is and is not acceptable.

Either you care about such things or you do not. If you cared about that standard, you would condemn Trump's comments, which are unquestionably unacceptable and far worse by any standard compared to the one you were so concerned about.

But given you can't bring yourself to condemn Trump's comments which are far worse, where he goes along with a jeering mob about hanging VP Pence, or joking about attacks on the Pelosi family, it is obvious you don't and are purely engaged in partisan rhetoric and the standard is therefore meaningless to you.

When Trump's race baiting racist drivel about immigrants leads to bomb threats, do we see Trump comes out and condemn them? Do we see him disown his racist lies? Nope.
Do we see you express any concern about Trump in relation to these standards? Nope.

It is a thread to discuss Trump v Harris, yet you won't apply any standards to Trump. Ergo, you don't really care about those standards.

Your posts on this thread have been relentless attacks on Harris and Democrats and defences of Trump.

Objectively, those are actions supporting Trump.

It should be easy for you to discredit that claim, by referring us to posts where you have criticised Trump or defended Harris or listed the pros for Harris winning, cons for Trump etc
There are no such posts from you though are there?

That is why people reasonably concluded you are a Trump supporter, not for the strawman nonsense you have listed there.

Why do you have a problem calling out the violent rhetoric from Trump to his political opponents and towards groups of ordinary people, rhetoric which has the potential to actually lead to violence?
The poster didn't urge any violence on Trump.
So objectively Trump's comments are far worse, and yet you seem utterly unable to engage any moral standard in relation to Trump.

I have no problem calling out obvious Trump supporters who don't hold him to standards they claim to hold.

Yes we know where we stand with posters who claim to be concerned about such a post and yet give Trump a free pass on his speeches inciting violence, speeches that actually can and do lead to violence.

We know that such expressions of concern have no credibility.

It kinda does feel like a rant when I'm being accused of 'outrage'. I dont care enough to be outraged. I am not involved in this discussion at all. And I dont care for either party/candidate. To me it's a foreign election.

I know it's not just any foreign election and it will have ramifications for the whole world, but then again is it? US will still be pissy with Russia, China etc, will still support Israel will still throw its weight around generally being c****. And for the rest of it, the internal stuff, I dont care tbh. Whether someone in the US gets a little cheaper health insurance or what way abortion is or whatever else they quarrel about means nothing to me, I dont care.

I just happened to notice that a party which pointedly ignored the fact they supported a candidate who could barely walk and had trouble keeping his wits together only a couple of months ago now makes health records 'a thing'. Surely you must be able to see that obvious contradiction yourself, no?
