  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I had to see this myself because I thought my coworker was exaggerating.

There’s a section with glowing bios for her and her new VP....and a section for donations...and a section for volunteers.

And a giant merch store.

For all the guff they've given Trump about the MAGA hat....apparently, they're taking a page from his playbook. This is like the time they painted Joe orange.

Also....why is this campaign still begging for money? She has about 3 months. We've all heard about the record donations that she's gotten....how much of your money could she possibly need to run for 3 months?

I expected her to run on being a non-white, non-man for awhile until she could lay out policy positions....but it's starting to look like she has none. To be fair, Joe didn't really have any either....and I think that's possibly the new direction of the Democratic Party. No policies, no promises, no platform....just vote for whomever they trot out or you're a fascist, racist, misogynistic bigot.

uh... Lots of campaign sites have merch stores. There's usually a donation popup right at the front, and then a merch store. I did a quick pass through some of the gubernatorial candidates and most had stores:

NC:

IN:

MO:


I don't know anybody who gave Trump flak just for having merch. What they mocked was how cringey some of it was, and how much identity folks had wrapped up in some of it.

Well she's already heavily involved in division. I.mean she's already divided up her supporters into camps. Women, men, white women, black women, single women, women without kids etc. etc.

I mean we even have "White men for Harris" slogans.
In a modern, technologically advanced society that is over 50 years after the civil rights movement of the 1960s, it is surprising why race still has to be a thing in the mid-2020s.

This shirt is racist, my brother. Skin color should not be brought up in 2024. We should vote 3rd party, my friend.

Ooh, I see your point. And yes, Trump's merch is worse, and way more worldly, if you ask me. Sneaker culture, and those golden Trump shoes are sickening stuff.

Glad I do not buy any party's stuff. :)

Harris has a record of accomplishments as California AG, Senator, and VP. The official platform will be finalized at the convention.
As for the merch, how many yard signs will they have to sell to equal one month's worth of Elon Musk's donations to Trump?

Not sure where you get all this info about the Harris/ Walz platform but, this may help clear things up for you.

A poltical campaign is hawking merchandise? Who would have guessed?

As for the Harris platform positions, we're just into into the 3rd week of her campaign. As I recall, Trump didn't publish anything until a few days before the RNC (and he could have done so years in advance). I expect Harris will do so prior to the DNC.
