Presidential Election 2024

I was playing along with your theory that Obama and Hillary are part of a cabal that are going to take away your freedom of speech. Let's just gloss over the fact they had a Dem pres/senate/house and didn't do anything of the sort.

2 sane Senators held back the floodgates of insanity. Don't know how influential those two are, but they did help push Biden out.

So is that a yes or no that Obama and Clinton are attempting to take away your freedom of speech.

This is soooo my wife. "I'm liberal! I'm a Democrat!" Agrees with Reagan about 99% and Trump about 90%.

The Governor of the largest state in the Union and Democrat presidential hopeful wants to regulate free speech... The VP candidate wants to regulate free speech... the Presidential Candidate wants to regulate free speech... The former Presidential canddiate who still holds a great deal of influence in Democrat politics wants to regulate free speech.... must just be some right wing conspiracy that the left wants to erode the first amendment lol

One of my best friends is a first generation immigrant from China. His mom talks about the Mao years often. They fled do to hardships and in search for opportunity. She's very outspoken against the CCP, while also being very politically connected to the PRC. I usually bite my tongue because they are very strong minded on the topic of politics in general, yet they somehow cannot see the similarities in American politics to other oligarchic and authoritarian countries. What's really fascinating to me is that someone can immigrate to this country with essentially a blank slate of knowledge on American history, settle in to their news bubble (be it right or left), and without fail, start regurgitating literal propaganda talking points from said news organization, while simultaneously being completely unaware of The Machine that's behind it all.

I watched this entire interview and this guy has an uncanny resemblance to my friend and even makes a lot of the same points. The difference, is that my friend has been duped by "State TV" here in America. Note: I don't mean that in the sense of Right vs Left, Dem vs Republican....I mean that he blindly follows big establishment government and believes that "American Liberalism" can do no wrong. On a per-policy basis, he's very Libertarian. Which is why I find this all too funny (and scary).

That's just fear mongering crazy talk.

Scamala Harris is trending on Twitter.

Looks like it's primarily related to this Indian comics video from about a month ago. Got a chuckle.

Looks like big story brewing in North Carolina. One can only assume that it's a big negative impacting Republican for Governor Robinson. In an anticipated very close Presidential election in North Carolina, there's obviously a chance it has an effect on that race as well.

Trump is such a bad candidate they’re just playing proverbial prevent defense.

 

[TorontoGold]

So if the FBI was the agency to say that Iran was giving unsolicited information to the Harris campaign does that mean Dems should be saying Iran IRAN IRAN and that the FBI needs to be defunded?? That's the play surely.

They know she can't speak and they must like the polls. Trump is doing a pathetic job prosecuting the failures of Biden-Harris at the moment.

Sounded pretty eloquent during the debate. At least by comparison.

It's a little of both I think. They'd like Trump to sink his own boat by just opening his mouth, and at the same time I'm guessing they realize Kamala isn't a great interviewer so they're trying to protect the campaign by making appearances few and far between.

The 3 v 1 format did do well for her.

 

[Irish#1]

Realizing that the clip was cut, this still sounds like she's doing her best to avoid answering.

I do think it's funny when people talk about "lowering prices" and the implication is that Trump-Vance will be better when they are explicitly pro-tariff and pro-raising prices.





I agree with so much of what the Republican platform is vs the Democrat one, but the tax and economic suggestions are totally insane. As presented, they would add trillions to the debt AND drive prices up.

I think people who were alive for prices under Trump and prices under Biden-Harris have a relative feel for both and are probably using actual performance and observations to come to that conclusion.

Sounds like they are a threat to democracy.

Don't worry - they will be jailed for questioning as hate speech is outlawed in your utopia.

Which of the following is undermining the election:
A) Limiting votes to US Citizens
B) Requiring Identification
C) Hand counting ballots

Curious?
