  1. Is there a politician that we don't disagree with some of their policies? Who would had been your first choice that you would totally agree with. Kamala Harris was perfectly positioned to be the first and realistically, at this point the best choice. Politics is the art of the compromise, to get to dance you have to first make it to the dance.All the pie in the sky will not get you there, Obama compromised Biden to the Clintons to get to the dance. And that would be a safe argument. IMO if Kamala did not accomplish much , its the fault of Biden . Power is an elixir that is hard to give up. and plays tricks with your mind. You enter in all sort of rationalizations as to why you and you along is indispensable to the job. The cemeteries are full with people who once thought they were indispensible.Yet the world went on. IMO it was a tactical mistake of Biden not to engage Harris more, he should had considered the possibility that at his age, he might be a one term president. In fact when he was running against trump he said that he would be a one term president and "a bridge between trump and normalcy" . but as i said Powered is an elixir and hard to give up. Someone else , is imposible!! actually physically impossible.First there is the Issue of donations,. Money is the oxygen of American politics. Second there is the Issue of getting on the Ohio state ballot, third there are the 103 days constrain until the election, and fourth there is the issue of a campaign infustracture, that harris has inherited from Biden, but nobody else has. Harris is the best possible choice, I am afraid there is no other, She will make a fine president.
  2. Yes indeed with about 100 days left until the election and a week until the deadline to get their candidate in the Ohio state balot, the democrats should hold televised debates to choose a candidate. If your side's argument weren't so sad they would be funny. Actually they are not even your argument, you are simply regurgitating trump's talking points. And don't tell me that Biden did not have one, He was a sitting president, he run unopposed same as trump did for his second term. Every sitting president except on in 1852 has gotten his party's nomination .
  3. If there is any indication that you don't hear yourselves talk, 0r that even if you do, there is definitely no communication between your brain and your mouth. Imagine, a trump supporter accusing the Democrats af a coup. Diabolical how Harris got Biden to fall apart at the debate so that she could instigate this fiendish coup of hers .Diabolical !!
  4. Why would she not be? How is she less qualify than any of the rest choices, or are you also buying into the trump narrative?
  5. Are you guys for real?Do you even hear yourselves talk? was there any doubt who your nominee would be?Do you know who the cochair of the RNC is? There is even talk of renaming the RNC to the trumpNC How much does Romney , Pence, Cheney have to say in the big tent of the RNC?
  6. Not even Melania
  7. You are absolutely right about the Ankara peace summit where an agreement was reached to end the war but then it was nixed by the Brits, and by Brits I mean Americans because the UK would do nothing in these matters without the consent of the US. Ukraine was nothing but canon fodder in an attempt to weaken Russia. I realise that I don't know everything that Biden knows that lead to that decision, but from my perspective an evil decision. I have said it many times in this forum, and have gotten flack for it, But in the end when all is said and done Ukraine will get the same deal that it could have had even before the war started, and certainly at the Ankara summit. Only now with the additional loss of a generation of Ukrainian youth, and destruction of the country. Sad very sad, With friend like those in this forum and elsewhere who supported this war, who needs enemies? Zelinski should be hung from the highest tree for what he allowed to happen to Ukraine .
  8. I think they will convene a virtual convention to circumvent to Ohio state ballot issue, But what is a convention? If not function where the delegates convene to nominate a candidate, and if a candidate is nominated beforehand, what then is the purpose of a convention? A place to make speeches?
  9. A Convention is where the delegates convene (hence the term convention) and nominate a candidate. Otherwise it is simply a big show. To your defence the DNC might be doing exactly what you propose. and convene a virtual convention,IMO for the purpose of releasing DNC funds to the candidate and insuring that the candidate is in the Ohio ballot.State law previously required this step be completed by Aug. 7. but the Ohio legislature had issued a one time exemption for Biden so that they can have the convention the 19th , The fear i think is that the Republicans will try to say that this exemption was only for biden and since biden dropped out it would not apply , of course this is absurd . But they DNC might want to close that road.
  10. You mean and cancel the convention? Why would they do that? Have you heard of a thing called a "Post convention bump" ? Why would they do this and also give up the option to go a different way if situations warranted? Why? Kamala Harris secured pledges from enough delegates to secure the nomination, but those are pledges , Until a vote is taken they have the right to change their minds. Not that they will, but it is always nice to have options.
  11. Apologies, I mistakenly thought trump was on the right.
  12. Do they need permission every time the conduct maintenance? Some trees when pruned come back stronger and nicer.
  13. Just at the last debate, how many times did trump told a lie? PS: the laugh emoji at your reply was from me. Honestly. I could not stop laughing after reading your statement. no exaggeration!
  14. Or perhaps they did not want him becoming a musician. Before you give anything to someone else's kid, you should really ask his parents if it's ok
  15. A trump supporter accusing others of ignorance. imagine that? "Coulter said that trump could win." Of course she would say that . what else would she say given the environment she exists in? "People ridiculed her" they did because given what we knew then it was a ridiculous statement. this statement was made before we knew the level of stupidity of a large segment of the American population. But she knew, since she earns her living out of their stupidity.
  16. Because "Birds of a feather roost together" and with a neutral attitude you my friend is a bird of of a totally different feather. Simple tribalism, If you ask me.
  17. What congressional district was Liverpool again?
  18. I am sure Hanaguma appreciate you coming to his defence, But unfortunately for both of you , what you say, is not what he said. Perhaps you need to go back and read what he said.
  19. Link to to source where she says that this was the reason she did not attend
  20. So you think that with only less that a week in the campaign and only about 100 days remaining she should be attending israeli political events rather than campaigning ? Why? because she is the VP and VPs attend every speech foreign politicians give in congress even to the detriment of the country.
  21. Yes indeed , with 103 days remaining she should had joined trump at the speech , instead of campaigning . Oh wait was trump there? Comical I tell you comical!!
  22. except for Joe Lieberman, Sanders,Chuck Schumer, Carl Levin, Arlen Specter, the list to long to mention. Comical I tell you, Comical!!
  23. More comical threads from the right wing of this forum
  24. You mean he has bad aim?
  25. how is that? That is highly offencive, and idiotic. Welcome to my ignore list
