Are we ok about wanting to kill people we don't like, maybe start a thread on it. Just to clarify this point. The Dead Pool have repeatedly said that Jimmy Carter seems to be a really great guy, they would love to meet him, shake his hand and all that. Just that there are a few points in all of this. Maybe fake his own death for the next decade. That would work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storming speech, next test will be a tough long interview. P.S. The whole launch was seamlessly professional, pitch perfect from the campaign boss, her husband, Biden (who they must have been shitting themselves about but did it perfectly), and Kamala managing to look natural, relaxed and not over rehearsed.

Salt n Vinegar Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Just heard a guy on CNN coming out with a good 'un, when he took a dig at Trump. He said that business prefers the rule of law to "the law of the ruler". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freedom Farter Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Harris is personable. Smiles a lot and is vibrant compared to curmudgeonly Trump. On the superficial level (which I assume sways some American votes) she's clearly ahead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O'Kelly Isley III Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 9 hours ago, velo army said: This isn't the Dems strong suit at all. If social media is any indication (and it may not be a reliable one) they'll once again run this on identitarian grounds (while also railing against Harris being defined by her race and gender by detractors) and her not being Trump. That'll be it. What does Harris believe in or care about? Being pro-choice isn't going to be enough of a vote winner and I don't think she has any left-wing economic leanings to speak of, so where does the inspiration aside from her skin colour and gender (and not being Trump) come from? With respect, I think that's a wee bit simplistic. For a start, Harris now looks almost certain to be the Presidential candidate this time and that in itself will require much more than an identitarian approach. Secondly, the abortion issue is a huge problem for the Republicans, as they have quietly but dogmatically marched into quicksand across any number of states. Thirdly, a decent pick of prospective VP could be a very significant factor, politically and personally. Vance is already coming across as a cardboard cutout who failed his audition for the A-Team and that needs amplified. We don't have to like Harris or her perceived lack of policies, but when you look at the alternative it fairly concentrates the mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last year has shown abortion to be one such issue and in that regard it's good that Biden's faith will no longer be a factor in the conversation. This is going to be the most negative campaign in history - polices will not come into it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vance is already coming across as a cardboard cutout who failed his audition for the A-Team and that needs amplified. I’ve only found out today that Vance apparently confessed in ‘Hillbilly Elegy’ that as a younger man he was fond of putting an inside-out latex glove between two couch cushions and sticking some Marvin Gaye on. I’m now at a loss to see how the guy passed vettting for…well…anything. It was apparently a best seller, did loads of people buy it and just not bother their arse reading it? Anyway, on the identitarian approach it does strike me that 6’2 Andy Beshear is exactly that type of person you’d want in front of a camera shaking hands with a 5’7 sofa shagger. If, indeed, Beshear agrees that he’s up to date on all his inoculations and is OK to shake hands with Vance. Ew. ETA - it’s apparently fake news. Ah well. Would be a shame if it kept getting traction. Edited July 23 by carpetmonster 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His rant yesterday about "crooked Biden" has to be the most lacking in self-awareness ever. The Republicans campaign will be vitriolic, based on lies and innuendo - the Democrats may well have some policy focus to their campaign but I'd bet my bottom dollar they will go after Trump on the basis of his character, the convictions and all the other lies he's told. The people who decide this election won't be the political zealots but the swing voters - women in particular are going to be a key group in thus election. You would hope that the more the Democrats attack, the more unhinged Trump becomes. Edited July 23 by DeeTillEhDeh 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
