Kamala can’t win

[NxNW]

well, you are totally wrong on Harris' record in CA. I suggest you listen to this, which goes into full detail on what she did there

I've already read up on her record. She reduced the incarceration rate. She's also falsely accused of extending prisoner sentences, which never happened.

"How much influence does Soros have, exactly?"

as the #1 donor to the Democratic Party over the last 20 years or so, at the state, local, and federal level, I imagine he has quite a bit

Reality is not determined by your imagination.

"That's funny; it's all over WaPo today."

No it isn't --I am looking at the headlines right now on the site and in Apple News.

 

[NxNW]

and there is nothing about it on CNN.

total troll response

5 minutes of research will confirm that Soros is the top donor to Democratic causes and one of the most powerful political influencers

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/interactive/2022/top-election-donors-2022/

"For the 2022 United States elections, Soros was the country's largest donor. He donated $128.5 million to support the Democratic Party in the election cycle"

likewise, this idea Harris was a progressive prosecutor, and incarceration went down is total bs:

Opinion | Kamala Harris Was Not a ‘Progressive Prosecutor’ (Published 2019)

The senator was often on the wrong side of history when she served as California’s attorney general.

www.nytimes.com

"But critics on the left have frequently criticized Harris over a record they say has fueled mass incarceration."

and I don't see that story you posted on the CNN front page. This is from today:

 

[expos4ever]

WNo, it's even less clever and more unhinged than that. I looked up the author's bibliography and he's got some.... interesting... takes. My favorite so far is this one from 2020 in which he argued that state legislatures should live up to their "republican principles" and send their own electors to overturn their popular votes and reinstall Trump as president.

What a shock! /sarcasm

total troll response

Name-calling isn't helpful.

I know he's got money. You still haven't described the results of this alleged influence.

"But critics on the left have frequently criticized Harris over a record they say has fueled mass incarceration."

Wait, earlier you claimed the left were "low information voters", and the NYT was rooting for the Dems and suppressing negative stories. Suddenly the left are informed and NYT is being critical of Harris?

I said the Israel story is on WaPo's front page, which it is. It was also covered by CNN, which you denied.

 

[Pommer]

Did you ever stop to ask yourself why she has all this support, and what the motivations are of the people who support her?

so foreign billionaires and the deep state are a good thing now?

reminds me of when Democrats complain about the money and influence of the Koch Brothers, but turn a blind eye to the money and influence of George Soros. Or when Kamala Harris was giving speeches about mass-incarceration and "disparate impact" of the legal system on blacks, while throwing people into prison for minor drug and weapons violations in CA, utilizing the "three-strike rule", and arresting mothers of truant children

hypocrisy like this goes unnoticed among low-information voters

and notice how since Harris was given the nomination, the MSM has stopped reporting on Israel. Remember when people were protesting in the streets? The daily news would describe attacks on Gaza, the West Bank, etc. Now that Kamala is the nominee, all that stuff might make her look bad, so the stories don't appear anymore

but if you go on aljazeera or European news sites, you will see that Biden just sent piles of shells and money to Israel, along with F-15 Eagle fighters, APCs, etc. and approved a new incursion into Gaza. Israel has demanded the Palestinians evacuate from south Gaza, and the death toll is now 40,000

crickets from the MSM here in the US, and no one is seeking comment from Biden. It's like the Palestinians have vanished altogether.

and don't go digging up some story from page 5 of the WSJ to "prove to me" that the MSM is still reporting on this stuff. I look at Apple News every morning, which aggregates all the headlines and major stories from around the globe, and there hasn't been a single story on what is going on in Israel in weeks--basically since Biden stepped down

you are supporting a politician who has not released any kind of platform or list of policy goals, and who is running interference for Biden

People are mad about the wrong things! ?
Welcome to politics!

Democratic governors:

1. Shut down their states, creating shortages, unemployment, and chaos
2. Had rioting in the streets because of civil unrest in their blue states (Floyd was killed in deep-blue Minnesota)
3. Botched the pandemic response by putting covid patients into nursing homes (as happened in deep blue New York)

Donald pretended the pandemic would be over if he ignored it, but he was wrong. Instead of coordinating/expediting supplies such as respirators and PPEs he made the states compete against each other driving up costs and shortages going so far as to put his completely inexperienced, inept nepo-baby son-in-law in charge of covid supplies. He resisted testing and quarantine because every time we tested, more cases appeared. He put a travel ban on Chinese people, but not on people who traveled to China for some bizarre reason. Republican states had no more toilet paper than Democratic ones.

Oddly, the civil unrest evaporated when Donald left office. There was one last riot that he was directly responsible for.

but all of this is somehow Trump's fault?

Trump had a lion's share of responsibility, especially for the chaos.

No one, save for partisan Democrats buys any of that. It isn't a reason people won't vote for Trump

Obviously untrue, but keep telling yourself that.

were there things he could have done differently during the pandemic? Sure --he should have followed the Swedish model and got rid of Fauci

He couldn't get rid of Fauci because the ratings on their joint pressers were so excellent! Why do you people put the blame on Fauci anyway? Why not on Atlas, Redfield or Collins?

Now the deficit and debt are a big problem, and I blame both parties for this. Trump ran up big deficits, but Biden exploded them even more. Spending is going to have to come down, and taxes are going to have to go up --on everyone. But no one is going to do that. Harris is talking about paid-family-leave (500 billion), excluding tips from taxes (250 billion), expanding Medicare, and forgiving more student loans. Basically trillions in new spending.

No, Donald exploded them more than Biden did. Worse, he exploded them to give the billionaires their tax breaks instead of paying down the debt when the economy was on the upswing. Biden did add to the debt, but he inherited Donald's recession.

is that English? Are you trying to make some sort of point or express an idea?

Yes to both. Thanks for asking.

The fake stories about insufficient medical supplies being Trump's fault are DNC talking-points

we did have a shortage of masks, and some equipment, and this was because the borders were basically shut, and we couldn't get anything from China.

and Trump never "ignored the Pandemic" --again, fake left-wing talking-point. Operation light-speed developed a vaccine to combat the virus, while massive fiscal support was given to states (for better or for worse).

Democrats pushed Chinese-style lockdowns and draconian pandemic measures that wrecked the economy, and then blamed Trump for it --and it worked. They politicized a public-health crisis.

you need to turn off MSNBC and start reading some real news

It's a shame that Trump wasn't a better leader.

And if Biden had been in office, the entire country would have been shut down for 9-12 months

it would have been economic disaster

and if you think otherwise, you live in fantasy land

 

[NxNW]

It was an economic disaster under Trump, and took Biden awhile to clear it up, while the GOP complained he wasn't cleaning up their mess fast enough.

the "mess" was caused by Democratic governors shutting down their states and creating economic chaos.

it was also cause by a worldwide disruption in trade, which was the result of countries following China's "zero COVID policy" --an untested policy that was a total disaster

and Biden presided over the worst storm of inflation since the 1970s

as if this guy cleaned up anything lol

Gov. Walz was one of the worst governors when it came to that. Presided over the beginnings of the George Loyd riots, made excuses for them, and had Kamala's help in bailing out many of the rioters. What a great team they were then and now!

Unemployment down, GDP up, Trump Recession over, resulting inflation finally over, stock market up, pandemic over . . .

The list goes on.

The border is fine because Trump built the wall and Mexico paid for it, right?

"Trump recession"

cause by Democratic governors shutting down their states, imposing mandates on businesses and individuals, etc. (and red states shut down too out of pressure from the CDC)

also cause by other countries shutting their borders and trade down

but never mind the recession that happened in 2022 under Biden right? --after COVID was long over

Do presidents have to own the economy on their watch or not?

Not for the past 3.5 years they haven't. Here's biden spreading misinformation:

Biden blames inflation on Trump administration: 'It was already there when I got here'

President Joe Biden pushed the blame for inflation on the Trump administration once again Friday during a press conference about the economy.

Not interested in redirects to partisan attacks. Do presidents have/get to own the economy or not? All of them. Not Biden, not Trump, all presidents. Yes or no?
