Except maybe for those amendments they'd like to see repealed....the premise, being, he must be defeated at the ballot box. Or at least that's the premise of those who are loyal to the U.S. Consitution.
and that makes it OK?Or, more realistically, it could be that her base will be similar to the one last time that limited Trump to a one term president.
You forget that the Republicans also have policies. It's not really the Democrat's fault that the Republicans have chosen a boastful buffoon to carry them out. They wouldn't want Trump to be President even if he was a life-long lefty. In the end, it will come down to policy.and that makes it OK?
It seems to me that support for Kamala is driven entirely on
1. Dislike of Trump
2. Feels and Vibes
3. Identity politics
so let me ask you this: do you think it is important for a presidential candidate to have a platform and clear policy goals? Should that candidate also have a legislative record in Congress (or maybe as a governor)? (Harris has one bill to her name, and that is for funding a monument in San Francisco)?
I told my wife "I don't really care if a left-winger gets into the Whitehouse as long as that person is competent, experienced, and can work across-the-aisle. I can stomach a lefty who wants to stop the wars"
but instead, we are getting Harris, who hasn't demonstrated any competence at all, will not reach across-the-aisle, and panders to the military-industrial complex"
whenever I ask people why they like Kamala, the answer is "she isn't Trump" --and if that is the standard by which we are evaluating a future president, this county is in a lot of trouble
At this point, there is no point in continuing to respond to your unserious statements.We'll simply disagree.
The only thing making them "minor" is that they couldn't get enough support to beat Trump.
They certainly have a lot of influence. They are the filter that the news passes through between Washington DC and the general public.
The MSM was propping up Biden all the way up until the debate when Biden finally faced the public on live TV. That's when the MSM realized there was no longer any hiding of Biden's deficiencies. And once KH starts debating, their only way to protect her is to not ask hard questions (unless provided to her ahead of the debate so she can practice her answers).
I would keep this as a receipt, but something tells me you've already decided how that debate will turn out.From watching her trying to do it before, and the fact that she's been avoiding doing it again as long as possible. I look forward to Sept. 10th where she will undoubtedly fail.
Depends on how you define "facts" on a given day.I remember reading something about it being a place for discussion of ideas backed by facts and reasonable arguments rather than posts with empty assertions about what other people should think and feel.
His final year was a disaster - rioting in the streets, no toilet paper or groceries on the shelves, no free beds in the ICU, refrigerator trucks used for morgues. The deficit ballooned as he added trillions to the debt. All the job gains of the three previous years vanished.I wasn't sure about Trump. But as his term progressed I was experiencing good results and the nation as a whole seemed to be fairing better. Therefore I became satisfied with him as president. Whereas with Biden it's been the complete opposite. And I expect it to get worse with Harris at the helm. It seems with most people who hate Trump it's all about his personality. Whereas for me it's about results.
and that makes it OK?

Do you mean actual facts, or the "alternative facts" used by right wing talking points?Depends on how you define "facts" on a given day.
So you don't think it is important for a presidential candidate to have a platform and specific policy goals?Do you mean actual facts, or the "alternative facts" used by right wing talking points?
So you don't think it is important for a presidential candidate to have a platform and specific policy goals?
and you don't think they should have any legislative record either?
is that English? Are you trying to make some sort of point or express an idea?It is weird how responses to my posts are more questions asking if I wrote things I never wrote.

On the bright side, traffic was pretty good.
Well, if she's organized enough to have the support of the four groups listed above, plus billionaires, plus foreign interests, plus the MSM, plus the deep state, she sounds like somebody who can get things done. That's a lot of support!Kamala *could win* because her base of support is
1. Low-information voters
2. Immigrants (see #1)
3. Young people who don't understand economics and foreign policy
4. White women who vote on emotion, and for one issue (birth control)
but she still might win, because billionaires, foreign interests, the MSM, and the deep state are behind her.
Not to mention cats and dogs living together.and if voters put Harris into office, you better prepare for Trudeau-style authoritarian leftism: people arrested for criticizing the government, censorship, crony-capitalism, pay-to-play, boots-on-the-ground overseas, and total chaos
Like this?So you don't think it is important for a presidential candidate to have a platform and specific policy goals?
Did you ever stop to ask yourself why she has all this support, and what the motivations are of the people who support her?Well, if she's organized enough to have the support of the four groups listed above, plus billionaires, plus foreign interests, plus the MSM, plus the deep state, she sounds like somebody who can get things done.

There could be, but nobody really cares as long as she supports the party platform.that is the party platform, not Kamala's platform or policy goals
her's could be very different, but no one knows
I didn't say I agreed with your assessment, merely sarcastically pointed out that if true, it's a lot of support.Did you ever stop to ask yourself why she has all this support, and what the motivations are of the people who support her?
I've seen no evidence that the first is true, and the second doesn't exist.so foreign billionaires and the deep state are a good thing now?
How much influence does Soros have, exactly?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.
She reduced the incarceration rate.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",
Never happened.and arresting mothers of truant children
It's hard to notice things that don't exist.hypocrisy like this goes unnoticed among low-information voters
Another false claim.and notice how since Harris was given the nomination, the MSM has stopped reporting on Israel.
Like on January 6? Yes.Remember when people were protesting in the streets?
I guess you're not reading the news these days. Who's low information again?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
I thought it was good to support Israel. Has that changed?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
That's funny; it's all over WaPo today. But the big news is that inflation is lower than 3% now, which eliminates another right-wing talking point.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
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 thereI didn't say I agreed with your assessment, merely sarcastically pointed out that if true, it's a lot of support.
