The exception for me is on here, of course. If it were a decent Dem candidate I wouldn't care either, but IMO Harris is so bad as to put us all in danger if she gets elected. I think she just doesn't have the fiber to be able to do an adequate job. I'm certain that every sensible leader on the planet is privately aghast that she might be the POTUS. I'm also certain that Putin and Xi are hoping she will be the winner.

You live in New Zealand. Of course nobody cares about the US election.

 

But in the USA, it's a big issue.

Well Hillary has spent the last week explaining that the Libtards want to change the freedom of speech laws with good old fashioned censorship so there is that for starters. They hate the truth which is why they being hit from every angle at the moment AND it's about to get a lot worse for them.

I have no idea what you are talking about.

 

Hillary Clinton commented on the dangers of commercial social media platforms using propaganda to influence elections. Don't you agree that could be a problem?

And that's the whole point. You have no idea about what is REALLY going on in your own country because you believe everything that Hillary Clinton tells you. You will find out very shortly.

IMHO MAGA followers have repeatedly demonstrated gullibility based in ignorance and primal greed.

Little different or same or are Evangelical morons blindly funding liar grifters to their graves!

Isn't it funny? You are happy that Mark Zuckerberg, Google, YouTube and others were influencing the election in 2020 because it allowed the Dems to win. Zuckerberg to the tune of $420 million to "fortify" the election in the Dem's favour" and also to censor anti Dem voices. By the way. Fortify the election means cheat.

It's well documented and Zuckerberg has been trying to cover his backside over the last few weeks by apologising for it. Not only for suppressing the Hunter Biden laptop story but also for the $420 million Zuckerbucks scam.

Why is the Biden/Harris movement so susceptible to crazy conspiracy theories that MAGA are somehow all conspiracy theorists?  Really - the Left are actually the bull-goose loonies who are completely out of touch with reality.  The Lefties project their own psychosis onto the conservative right and claim they are the crazies when it's the progressive Left who are completely nuts.  Tampons in the boy's bathrooms.  Men can have babies.  Ha ha ha ha ha! 

Change my mind! 

Most of us would rather just point and laugh at you.  Anyone still supporting the convicted felon fraudster is beyond hope.

I completely disagree about Putin, Orban, and Kim. Trump is such an easy mark, those guys have Trump in the palm of their hands, Trump is at their beck and call. Same with MBS. Xi does not want Trump. His massive tax hikes (tariffs) will harm China. And America.

I don't know what you are disagreeing with. I'm no fan of any of them.

 

I'm sure they want her instead of him as she is so predictable, unlike Trump who no one can predict or even understand, which makes him dangerous to America's enemies.

 

You even agree with me about Xi wanting her, from what you wrote in your post.

Absolutely. I don't think a Harris administration would be ignorant enough to impose massive tariffs, like the ones Trump is proposing. The consumer ends up footing the bill, making it a huge tax hike. Xi has to be afraid of these proposals. Though, he likely enjoys the idea of the tariffs making America's economy weaker and raising inflation.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Is Now Adding Lasers to Her Hurricane Helene Conspiracy

 

I think the answer to the question is that the MAGA movement is a cult. As such, it's a faith based movement where facts are only used in the few cases where it seems to support whatever narrative they push.

Most of the time facts are just ignored and they just make up s***, like these hairbrained conspiracy theories. Beggars belief.

 

IMO Constitution needs to be amended to remove representatives repeatedly pushing conspiracy and proven outright lies. In other words not complying to their Oath of Office as happened during the impeachment process against trump

IMO Trump wants to make America stronger. It's not strong when everything is made in China, as China is in the seat of power in a relationship like that. If Trump makes it economical to return manufacturing to the US, that a win for America as it stops China getting money to build it's military and it makes America stronger, as it's not dependant on an enemy state for it's goods.

US companies off shored manufacturing to PRC to increase profitability and competitiveness and increase shareholder value. Still do so with countries such as Vietnam and India who are being used as a political alternative to PRC. Should PRC cases manufacturing components for US to put pressure on USA it would create a massive negative impact on USA along with trump wishing to deport millions of people, though I suspect deportation at that level is impossible.  trump's tariffs cost the US economy billions of dollars and did not decrease the trade gap, actually increased the trade gap. trump companies are still using PRC as a supplier e.g. trump bibles. Somewhat past due for trump supporters to comprehend the stupidity of trump's so called trade polices and his blatant hypocrisy.

Thanks for the cherry picked quote:

 For more than a year, a loosely organized coalition of operatives scrambled to shore up America’s institutions as they came under simultaneous attack from a remorseless pandemic and an autocratically inclined President. Though much of this activity took place on the left, it was separate from the Biden campaign and crossed ideological lines, with crucial contributions by nonpartisan and conservative actors.

Yeah.  Nothing says democracy like a cabal of powerful people, mostly from the left, changing the laws and controlling the flow of information to keep one candidate from getting elected. 

 

And the TIME article is them bragging about it.

In the paragraph just above "The Architect".

I can see that this article will be used against the left in any court cases of voter fraud over the coming months. If you actually read the article you will see that many laws were broken.
