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

Slip of the tongue, and Walz is demonstrably not a person who would infer someone’s sexual orientation as a negative anyway. And Musk too doesn’t see it as a slight or insult.

But when you’re scraping the bottom of the barrel these are the things you’ll find I suppose.

Bill Clinton.

I will say, they all seem to collapse inwardly towards the end days of the campaign. Trump is doing it, Harris has done it. Walz doing it.

I remember the shocking clips of Hillary falling across the pavement into the SUV as he campaign closed out.

Babylon Bee nicely sums up Jennifer Lopez endorsement of Harris.

I'd argue the cavalcade of celebrity endorsers the democrats have brought out does more harm than good for them, I think most sensible people these days have nothing but contempt for celebrities who pontificate on serious issues.

So her standing there with one rifle and having 9 guns pointing at her face is not a firing squad to you?

I guess that is what passes for political discourse in the Trump era. No discussion about he would do to avoid US being a war hawk. No discussion about how to solve the decades old issues around the world that US has felt the need to attack other countries to fix.

Just 'she's horrible and should face the threat of imminent death to teach her a lesson' which the response by some if 'well, she sort of deserves it'.

Is he putting forward a policy of non military intervention by the US? Is he taking to task other peoplethat are similarly hawkish or is it just her because she said she didn't like him?

Did he commend those like AOC and plenty others calling for a ceasefire in Gaza and aligned with his thinking?

No. It's just a childish petty rant about someone who he doesn't like.

The traditional democrat voters - those who worked in the factories and manufacturing industry which are now all but gone- and indeed teachers and educators too - have grown incredibly disillusioned . I can see why MAGA, Trump , Republican Party all provide “hope” for them .
I believe the Democrat party has lost touch with the very voters that got them into power and kept them there and it’s probably been years in the making. Your personal example here- a very simple thing-,crayons and paper for the classroom - education, a fundamental right - and this is the state of it? In America? In 2024? And that’s just one example of millions.

The Democrats have gone too intellectual - neither they nor their former solid base recognise each other - there’s a huge gap between them and MAGA has stepped in to fill that gap.

It’s fine for Harris to say choose democracy over dictatorship - and look she’s correct - dictatorship is where America is heading if Trump gets in or at the very least, a turn off away from democracy - but she and her party has to recognise and understand why this is happening - you can’t just go to blue collar workers, or indeed more realistically blue collar former workers who are now unemployed because their factory closed, every 4 years and ask for their support and then forget about them for another 4 years - without something happening - and what’s happening is Trump, “the saviour” - standing in the frontline on behalf of his “flock” - it’s a good sounding story when you have feic all left to lose and the democrats have done nothing for you in years.

Erm, just who has been in power for the last 4 years - and what party has been in the white house for 75% of the last 16 years? So yes some responsibility has to be placed at the democrats door - it would be remiss if it weren’t - whilst they were pushing for debt relief for students in the hope of votes at the polls, the teachers pensions deficits were rising year on year meaning funding that should have been going into education was instead tied up in shoring up pensions . But debt write off for students was their answer to that
