  1. Oh, so being a female running for the Presidency, was a reference to her genitalia? I think you might be a bit ahead of the curve here, I’m sure terms relating to genitalia will show up once the extreme rightwing have handed out their talking point crib sheets.
  2. Biden wasn’t the official candidate, nor was Trump until very recently. Why are you so very interested in her race, it’s clearly a thing with you?
  3. The Ohio State Governor needs to tone it down. A Republican has already had a shot at Trump, the lunatics in MAGA world don’t need any more encouragement to engage in stochastic terrorism. [edit to correct who it is promoting violence].
  4. Interesting to you it might be. Perhaps because it’s you who asserts, with zero evidence, that caste matters to Harris.
  5. Actually no. Both represent different success stories within the American dream. But the comparison of Harris needs to be with Trump, the trust fund spawn of a KKK member.
  6. I expect your understanding of cast in Indian society is deep, nuanced and highly reliable. Or maybe you just throwing stuff at the wall in the hope something sticks.
  7. Some years ago I read an article on the subject of people taking part in silent retreats at a monastery on one of the Irish islands. The article included discussion on the matter of mental illness and the requirement the monastery had for would be lay participants to undergo a psychiatric assessment before being invited to join the retreat. As the monk explained, total silence and the sole company of one’s own thoughts can overwhelm people who might be predisposed to or already suffering health issues. While I think that is a couple of over simplified generalizations, I have no doubt there is a substantial grain of truth in it. At the very least people who take up meditation are self selecting, caution needs to be taken drawing conclusions on the outcome of them taking up meditation without knowing the context of the individual starting points.
  8. In response to your earlier post I provided you a link to an article that references Kamala Harris’ own frequently expressed views on the matter. But as I say and as you demonstrate, your profound ignorance on the matter is impermeable to facts presented in linked articles that address the very subject.
  9. Your ignorance in these matters is so profound, providing you with a linked article specifically addressing the subject can’t penetrate it. You really haven’t got a clue what you are on about.
  10. Jonny, like very many Americans she’s of mixed race, she is proud of her mixed heritage: ”CLAIM: Harris is not Black. THE FACTS: This is false. Harris is Black and Indian. Her father, Donald Harris, is a Black man who was born in Jamaica. Shyamala Gopalan, her mother, was born in southern India. Harris has spoken publicly for many years, including in her 2019 autobiography, about how she identifies with the heritage of both her parents.” Forgive the linked article Jonny, while it corrects your customary ill informed nonsense, it also includes a few ‘trigger words’ that might set you off. https://abcnews.go.com/amp/US/wireStory/fact-focus-false-claims-kamala-harris-campaign-white-112178476
  11. It clear that’s precisely what happened. Now it’s for Labour to sort out yet another Tory failure.
  12. And failed to do anything about the subject use of AI by perverts, leaving it for Labour to sort out. Hence all the deflection and whataboutary.
  13. Vance, known previously by several other names, doesn’t seem to be a popular pick amongst Republicans: https://uk.news.yahoo.com/less-third-republicans-think-vance-180756820.html
  14. If we are going back to the 70s do we get to include Ted Heath? Or should we just stick to the topic of the thread?
  15. On the upside it’s not the Heritage Foundation, the NRA or any of the Billionaires backing the Billionaire who says he’s looking out for the working class.
  16. A variation on your earlier personal attack. Just more rambling baseless allegations.
  17. Enjoy: https://www.politico.com/news/2023/09/17/donald-trump-vladimir-putin-praise-00116414
  18. Vance’s 180 about face on Trump tells us all any of us need to know. Some just don’t want to know it.
  19. Trump has chosen Vance because Vance will sign off on the whole of Project 2025 and do anything and everything Trump demands of him.
