Putting aside she's not Trump. What are explicit accomplishments she's made that would sway people to vote for her?

 

Do you believe she's a leader? A great orator? A wise bureaucrat? Deep knowledge of either domestic or International politics.. both?

"Not being Trump" is THE reason she could win.  The inverse is also true, where "Not being a democrat" is the reason Trump may win.   By and large, Americans are voting for who they hate less - most people wishing we had other options.

None of the rest is relevant, as she will just rubber-stamp and propagandize for the policies of the party-faction's deep-state goons, just like Biden, Trump, Obama, Dubya-Bush, etc.  Sadly, we "get to vote" for "actor and spokesman," only.  The policies we all oppose remain unchanged. 

 

Both party-factions agree on the most important issues - and in direct opposition to the will of people on both the left and right - hence the need to play-up "wedge" issues, and demonize candidates (actors), to make the "Show" entertaining and engaging.

 

One open-question is whether the D-faction's deep-state players will get the USA into world war 3 more slowly than the Lindsey Graham types would.  But, if Gloria Nuland returns under Harris, all bets are off on that potential upside.

 

There is the wild-card of RFK-Jr, who tells the truth about the Ukraine conflict, health issues, and other corruption - but, unless he can put a few hundred million dollars into ads on cable-networks, so older Americans can find out his actual positions, he doesn't stand a chance.  Winning among under-30s won't win any states.

Oh dear, another mention of the "deep state" means that someone has partaken of the MAGA Kool-Aid conspiracy theory nonsense, so no point in reading any more of their posts.........Naive or poorly educated; both of which trump prefers.

 

"According to an American political conspiracy theory, the deep state is a clandestine network of members of the federal government (especially within the FBI and CIA), working in conjunction with high-level financial and industrial entities and leaders, to exercise power alongside or within the elected United States government.

In 2020, many conspiracy theories circulated during the coronavirus pandemic partly because of the increased anxiety, larger number of people staying at home, and greater focus on the Internet and social media outlets.^[12][13] One such conspiracy that proliferated from the 2020 Presidential election was QAnon.

Opinion polling done in 2017 and 2018 suggests that approximately half of all Americans believe in the existence of an American deep state".

We got over the inflation bump caused by Trump's massive deficit spending.

 

 

 

There you go again with your lies.

This sums up the Harris campaign. 

 

But the 2024 campaign is famously more about "vibes" than anything related to governance. The Harris/Walz campaign website still does not have a policy page(though the party did on Sunday release a draft platform). "I have not had a single constituent in El Paso or a single person on the road try to get very specific policy details from me," Harris campaign co-chair Rep. Veronica Escobar (D–Texas) told The New York Times. You're going to have to vote for a Harris administration to see what's in it.

Again, thank you for your concern. Your lack of response in multiple posts is extremely telling.

 

Why did Dems allow that hag to take the top spot when Gabbard and JFK were both available to step in?

 

Because they are not woke.

 

Because they are independent thinkers and actors

 

Because D incorporated would lose the promised 92M

 

I had requested bullet pointed responses - not looking to bicker.

 

What am I missing oh wise one?

That hag? Are you Trumps scriptwriter?
p.s. JFK died in 1963.

On the contrary, many on the Left have long acknowledged the fact that our govt is run by-and-for special interests, who install their own players in govt = "the deep state."   The left-grassroots recognized this LONG before the current Trump-supporter types picked it up.

 

I despise the "MAGA" excuse-makers for Trump.  He broke all his promises, which could have improved life for working-folks and ended the forever-wars.  He should have been shunned for this - but they cheer for their "face" vs the "heel" as if it is a WWF show. 

 

The "Orange Man Bad" types on the other side are also ignorant, as evidenced by their also-incorrect claims about Trump.  Try asking members of either group about easily verifiable facts, and they will just repeat a bunch of lying talking-points from "their side."

So, I found two of your comments, where it appeared that you implied you were putting yourself on ignore, I thought it was funny and pointed it out to you.  And you made a nasty remark about it. 

 

What was the purpose of the nasty remark?

You should go back and read the thread then.   That is what it appears you did.  You quoted yourself and wrote what appeared to be a comment about putting yourself on ignore.   

 

It was humourism.  It's not like a different person who responded to a post I made in which I quoted someone else's post.   The person responding to me edited out my entire comment, almost all of the other persons comment that I was responding to and made it look like the other persons comment was mine.   

I just responded and told him someone else made the comment he made appear to be mine.   

No nasty comments, condescending remark.

You must be very sensitive.  I have been directly insulted many times.   The insults shows the quality of the insulters character.   

 

I don't respond in kind.

I'm really aghast at Harris. I wouldn't vote for her for PTA president.

She strikes me as wholly incompetent.

 

Understand it's not Trump but why not Gabbard or JFK. I would vote for either over Trump

 

The fact that she hasn't held a press conference or anyone asking a question in weeks is extremely telling

 

While they could have brought in Tulsi Gabbard or JFK instead...it's this hack of a woman and DEI option. Of course, Biden/Harris money shifts to her...90M.

 

Please bullet point your responses.

 

I guess I'm just having a laugh at all of the posters trying to contort a position that she somehow up for the job when in reality she shouldn't even be managing a group of Senate interns

Seriously ???  you really think that Trump is a better person to lead America ROFLMAO..... there's a bit of grass stuck in your teeth and your Banjo needs tuning.

 

Do you realise that outside of Hicksville USA, Trump is regarded as a complete fool. Us Aussies are dumbstruck as to how anyone is that bereft of political intelligence.
