Will Harris' Leadership Unite or Divide the Nation?

[CharlieH]

As Vice President Kamala Harris steps into a more prominent role, questions arise about her impact on the political landscape. With her progressive policies and strong stance on social issues, will she be able to unite the country, or will her leadership further deepen divisions? Given the current climate, how do you think her presidency could shape public sentiment? Will her supporters rally behind her, or could backlash emerge?

I tried to be realistic when a question like this is posed 
I think postelection has an opportunity to change the divide

The possibility of one winning a landslide

I'm thinkin you'll see a shockingly very blue USA map in November...

The core maga cult base is lost forever, but compared to Trump she clearly has the much more positive, inclusive message, and that would probably be helpful among those who aren't cult. Trump will end, but Trumpism will continue on. Unfortunately. No human can stop that.

Without Trump fanning the flames the divide will lessen somewhat. It will remain divided as Fox and Newsmax find a new figurehead though. 2025 will be waiting in stealth mode until a more favorable candidate appears.

[spidermike007]

It's a fairly simplistic question in light of the fact that Donald Trump is the most divisive and hate filled candidate, and was the most divisive president in American history, by a long shot. 

 

It can be debated whether or not he's fueling the hatred in America, but it cannot be debated that he's giving license to his least civilized supporters, and alot of very low quality Americans. 

 

Harris is speaking of unity, and she's speaking of joy, and she's representing the exact polar opposite qualities of the huge grump.

Divisions will heal. Trump will be forgotten. His cult followers only need some new direction and then they will move on. You can't make everyone happy, but once people realize that everything is better without Trump, many will come around. People will tire of all the hate. Then this whole horrific Trump era period will get relegated to the history books as a bad glitch in the matrix that nobody will even believe festered for as long and far as it did. Like Nixon in a way, but it will be even more regretful for Americans.

He was answering the question. My answer to it is that the country is pretty much already destroyed. Neither side will ever accept the other. So it doesn't matter who wins. If anything with the Chameleon, you will get more of the same.

It's ignorant (with all due respect) to destroy a country over politics when one can just accept it for four years and vote them out if you don't like it. Both sides disgust me.

[oxo1947]

 

 

I dont know if he will win or lose ---and like most non Americans --- Just wish it was all over.

Lived in 3 other countries before Thailand -- and usually the election in them all took about 6 weeks  & the guy/Girl that lost moved out that night.

Not ran the country for another 6 -7 weeks.

 

Seems he is going to lose, the Polls say so-- ..OK..... this is what the polls told us in 2016

 

Whoever wins----Roll on November--- lets get back to normalcy ...........

You  got it right in the respect of the map.The dividers are the media!

Until they stop reporting as activists and doing the jobs as journalists , there will always be divisions.Imop

 

 

Nearly three-quarters of U.S. adults say the news media is increasing political polarization in this country, and just under half say they have little to no trust in the media’s ability to report the news fairly and accurately, according to a new survey from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research and Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights.
