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

I hope you and Flaneur don't mind me taking the liberty of responding to you.

I don't recall the interview and accept your take on it. She, until after the 5th Nov result comes in, is stuck with supporting him by not allowing others to portray her [for their own political purposes] as a person who should disavow him and make political statements varying with his while still serving as his V/P in his administration. It's a cleft stick she's stuck with, unenviable but true and it's obvious that Trump would love to ignite a total break-up of the Biden/Harris partnership before the 5th Nov.

and just to be clear- I’m not saying it was an easy thing to do - far from it - but maybe a bit more individuality or new thinking or new ideas maybe - anyway, all academic at present as she’s neither won nor lost yet

In fairness Trump hasn’t put forward a decent performance on any of the key issues of the day - if he started talking sense at this stage I’d actually worry for him 😀

yeah “he’s our village idiot” is as good as any explanation I guess 😀

If Trump had invested his inheritance in stocks and shares he'd be worth about 10 times what he is now. And any buisnessman that stiffs contractors is a ghoul imo. Can't even run a charity as he wa taking funds from it.

As regards a proven leader in politics. He hasn't the first clue on how to be a politician. Like that point is lunacy.

To be clear on something:

No one is claiming Harris is the perfect candidate or above criticism … but they are issues within the bounds of politics as normal, if she was running against a Republican of old, McCain, Romney, Dole etc

But she's not. She is running against a candidate with multiple strikes against him, that would have disqualified any 'normal' candidate, and rightly so… from January 6th, to Trump's court cases, his pandering to enemies of the US such as Putin, to his constant lying and false claims, to his racist dog whistling as seen in the debates about pets being eaten. It is quite probable that agents of the US and their allies are dead because of Trump being reckless with confidential intelligence. He is not a fit and proper person to be President.

The pushback comes when there are posts trying to put the issues with Harris as a candidate are on the same level as those with Trump. They are not on the same level, they are not in the same division.

stupidity of the party leadership back in 2015. The senators had candidates a plenty but because of their rivalry, they stuck the party with him.

I'd say if he wins this time those party elders would say their call was vindicated on the basis that

“It's a valid point to make that Harris should potentially have tried to differenciate herself more from Biden and his policies sooner. If the posters we're complaining about were coming on boards with such good faith talking points, I suspect there'd be much less of a problem. But that's not what's happening.”

Wonderful -thanks- thats what I said and that was my only point -if posters have “problems” I suggest they go to a moderator and discuss

In two US states, Michigan and North Carolina, where the RNC had introduced suits to block US citizens who have never been in the continental USA but had mail-in votes, the courts have tossed out the lawsuits.

The only person I can speak of is myself. My above point on Harris is completely honest. I truly believe IF she loses the election, that independence of thought and mind and separating herself from the Biden administration in some way, may have helped her election campaign - that’s it !

im not going to engage with or entertain people who wish to label me a “double standard” person or a “double Big Mac” or whatever nonsense they come out with - I’m just here to give an opinion - if any poster wishes to engage as some have on an honest basis without all this gobbledygook nonsense then like I’m doing right now , I’ll reply to you .

I disagree he is a useful as a detector

I read about that months ago and have to say I was worried at the time - a great outcome - thanks for posting

Trump is to appear on the Joe Rogan podcast on Friday, should be entertaining.

”Truth” wouldn’t be Trumps best qualities - but what I’ve seen, he serves a mean medium fries if you’d like one of his qualities 😀

But “Security” and “feeling” secure, is a big campaign score and has been since the start, no matter how distracted people get on Trumps serving qualities behind a fast food outlet store - if people are in doubt that Harris will “protect” them- they’ll vote Trump / that’s a given - to quote some posters here “it’s a two horse race”!

and the 1798 act can only be used on the French. Bit ironic seeing as the mileage he’s got out of serving up a few French fries.

Poor fella that wrote it couldn’t pronounce seven apparently.
