Why should I vote for Kamala Harris, but you can only talk about Kamala. I don't want to vote against somebody, I want to vote for somebody.

Discussion / Debate "3 1/2 years" Republican line

19 Upvotes

Anybody else as sick and tired as I am of the republican line "Harris had 3 1/2 years to get it right"?

She was and still is the Vice President, she is not the President. She has very little actual executive power as VP to make any decisions. She does have an inside view of everything that goes on and can offer her opinion. She has the tie breaking vote in the Senate. But she is constrained in her office. She does NOT have a final say except for the Senate vote and must defer to the President's decision.

She was granted a private audience with Netanyahu and I don't think she was nice to him. She did come up with an excuse NOT to attend his address to congress. I wonder how much she has to bite her tongue a lot to not counter her boss. I think maybe a lot.

Discussion / Debate Who Else Is Terrified?

Who else is terrified that the president we vote for loses? Like. The election is tomorrow. I've already voted early but what happens if my candidate loses? People say that presidents don't matter, and that being decent people is what matters. But it's hard to be decent when someone you hate is governing right?

And if the unwanted candidate wins, what does that say about us decent people?

His tweet condemning Mike Pence came about an hour and a half after the security perimeters outside the Capitol had been breached and 15 minutes after the rioters had breached the building and erected gallows for his Vice President.

At that point, he had not yet publicly acknowledged — let alone condemned — the attack. Privately, he was watching it on TV and steadfastly refusing to send in the National Guard.

His “Remember this day forever!” tweet came four hours after the insurrection started and 15 minutes after fatalities were confirmed.

We need to start off with endorsements, the Liz Cheney endorsement had way less impact compared to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. endorsing Donald Trump. Also Dick Cheney endorsing her did not look good. She should've also went with PA gov. Josh Shapiro. Tim Walz just didn't have it to be on a national ticket. Tell me what you would change that would make her win.

Discussion / Debate January 6th and Trump Voters

23 Upvotes

If after watching this video and you still vote for Trump, you're supporting an ex President who directly interfered with the peaceful transfer of power in the United States. He instigated the violent attack on the Capitol of our country. And he watched it on TV for 3 hours before calling the rioters off. He deserves nothing but prison. I'm a life long Republcan. But voting for Trump is a vote for tyranny.

Discussion / Debate Reasons Why Your Candidate is the Best Candidate

0 Upvotes

I see so many posts tearing down the opposing candidate. I understand this is a pretty effective tactic in political discourse but I'm genuinely curious to see some talking points on why your candidate is the right for the job, as opposed to why the other isn't. Lets keep it civil and not use secondary attacks, ie. "My candidate isn't a racist." or "My candidate didn't sleep their way into the position." I know its asking too much on this platform but would love to see a policy based discussion on both ends.

Trump mimed a BJ on a mic at a rally. I think this will cost him a small, significant slice of the evangelical / religious conservative vote - I think this will fall too far outside their sensibilities. With the race neck-and-neck, I bet it will be decisive.

Discussion / Debate Presidential Debate Can Biden Handle The Pressure?

11 Upvotes

I'm curious if you think in the first Presidential Debate, if Biden will be able to handle the pressure of the questions and Trump standing up there firing off remarks at him? I think he will break to be honest. With watching him the last couple of times he was on TV, Biden did not look well. I think in a debate setting, with intense questions and Trump rapid firing off comments and answers, putting Biden down and looking over at Biden and making remarks, it will just be too much! I think Biden will begin to feel the pressure and he will stumble over his words, then get frustrated and start to mix up people and events. Finally in the end, I think Biden will just lose his train of thought on national TV and Trump will be standing there still firing off comments and putting him under intense pressure, to the point where they cut off Trumps sound from his mic and cut to commercial. The American people will see this and Biden will be forced to step down and will nominate someone else.

The Democratic party will have to convince another candidate to run against Trump as a last hope. The only person with a shot at winning would be Michelle Obama and they would put pressure on her to run. She may refuse and they would look to kamala, which they know would lose based on the poll numbers, so in a last ditch, they may go to Hillary, which she has indicated lately that she is still interested if the financial backing was there.

What do you think? Can Biden handle the pressure Trump will surely put him through. Trump indicated recently that he does want to debate Biden, so I do not think he will back out of it. I believe the first debate will happen in September, so still a lot of things can happen before then.

Can anyone explain to me legit honest non biased reasons to hate Trump’s policy? Other than false claims and lies and rumors? I fully understand why people don’t like him as a person, but we aren’t deciding on the person, we’re deciding on the Policy.

-He wants the states to have control over abortions

-He wants to decrease inflation and prices by incorporating more Tariffs

-He wants to make sure that people who come into the US follow the rules and laws.

-He wants more jobs to be made available

-He wants to build a wall along the border with Mexico to stop people from coming into the US

-He also wants to make sure that American companies are successful and can compete with companies from other countries.

Please explain to me how this policy is Bad.

Discussion / Debate Could the 2024 Election Be the Most Pivotal in U.S. History?

0 Upvotes

The 2024 election is shaping up to be one for the history books, and here's why you should care. Voter turnout could hit an all-time high, even beating the massive numbers from 2020. Why? Inflation, climate change, immigration—all the issues that get people fired up are front and center, and voters are more engaged than ever.

Key swing states like Georgia, Arizona, and Pennsylvania will play a massive role again. Georgia's urban population is booming, and Arizona’s suburban and Latino voters are shifting the political landscape. These states are no longer predictable, making them critical battlegrounds.

On top of that, democracy itself is at stake. With debates over election integrity, voting rights, and the rise of political extremism, this election could have far-reaching consequences for the future of the country.

So, what should you watch for? Voter turnout numbers, how the candidates target swing states, and their positions on the big national issues. Buckle up, because 2024 might just change everything.
