Sick of this election now and these stupid stunts, just bring on the vote and hopefully Kamala wins. I don't like her but she's the least worst option imo.

Can't wait for it to be over but also dreading the result as I am convinced Trump will win.

Anyone got a clue what she's babbling on about? I don't think even she knows. She reads a script and just comes completely unstuck if she's thrown off that script for some reason. 5000%, not presidential quality material. Putin, Xi Jinping etc are going to be running endless rings around her.

And yet that’s still way less weird than when they were walking around with sanitary towels stuck to their ears and fake vials of J D Vance’s sperm.
I know Kamala Harris is a long way from perfect but I cannot for the life of me understand how the election is even slightly in doubt.
And on the other side people feel exactly the same way. They too are asking themselves how could the election be even slightly in doubt? What kind of a person could possibly vote for Harris?

The problem is we are all stuck in our bubbles and no-one ever bothers to find out how other people see things, what worries them and what their priorities are. When you do that, “they” become a lot less scary and weird. But you do have to make a bit of an effort to find out.

I don't see how that's babbling or spiraling? At all. Have you ever listened to a black preacher? That kind of repetition is a common rhetorical device.

She’s one of the most unqualified candidates ever to have run in terms of having a clear agenda, any sort of vision, an actual grasp on policy and the ability to express ideas. And the Dems knew it in the original primaries when she was knocked out early on.

Internationally if elected I think she is a real concern. Tulsi Gabbard has spoken on this many times.

And see, this is where it's clear, despite the exhortations that people should step out of their bubbles, you are relying on particular media sources that have an interest in selling a particular narrative. Have you ever once watched any of the clips of her in the Senate? When she questioned Bill Barr, Jeff Sessions, or Brett Kavanaugh?

It's fine that you don't like her politics but calling her unqualified and implying that's she's dumb is just patently false.







Also lol @ listening to what Tulsi Gabbard has to say about anything these days.

People arguing Kamala is ‘incoherent’ or ‘not qualified’: you do listen to Trump right? Or is there ‘something else’ driving your alleged perceptions?

Great, so why is she so hopeless now? What's happened in the intervening 6-7 years? Haven't seen any of that version of Kamala in the last four years at all.

Yes he's hopeless too, hope this helps. To be clear, both candidates are awful.

I mean she doesn't have to have charisma or wit or be entertaining but who is Camilla? No personality at all showing through, no warmth, no genuine flowing conversation.
She's like a flat carbonated drink.
Nothing endearing or memorable and if she doesn't win the election no one will remember her within a few months.
That's me being kind. Even if my politics aligned with hers I'd find it hard to have any confidence in her as president.
Why does she go on about all the things she would do? Why haven't you done them now, You've been in the white house long enough! 😂

Last time I checked she was the Queen. And I’m fairly sure she’s not allowed to stand for President of another country. 🙄

Ooh I don’t know. I guess the kind of people who would rather have a mediocre, but reasonably competent President, rather than a convicted rapist who likes Hitler, hates women and people of colour, and appears to be suffering from severe cognitive impairment.

Not a fan of Kamala, but having Tim Walz as her running mate was a good idea.
We might not say that come the election result, as good as he has been for motivating voters, particularly young voters. Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro was always the favourite for VP but many were saying that his pro-Israel stance could cost them the election and also that Harris already had Pennsylvania in the bag without him. If Harris loses and it's down to Pennsylvania going to Trump, big oops for going with the viral tweets man.

At least in 2028, - assuming Harris loses this election - the Democrats will finally have to pick a candidate with actual strong qualities other than 'isn't Donald Trump'.

I mean I'd be more worried about this than some wild conspiracy theory but thats just me


He’s completely right in that video of Liz Cheney if she and her ilk had to go to war and face the like of that maybe they wouldn’t be so in favour of it. So that post really isn’t what your trying to take it out of context to be.

I don't agree that she has no personality and is like a flat, carbonated drink, but that's a matter of opinion, not fact.

And despite the current talking points from the Trump campaign, the Vice President doesn't actually have much power. They are the tie breaking vote in the Senate and preside over it, but that's it for offical powers. Obviously they can try to help shape policy and influence the President (see fool Cheney while George W Bush was the President) but that isn't a given. Granted, that level of access to the inner workings of a presidency lends itself to them learning a lot and being a natural person to run for the presidency, if the current President is unable, ineligible, or unwilling to run.

The full clip - I get the point he’s trying to make but it’s still not in language I would want a president using. Also given his beef with Cheney using inflammatory language like that is dangerous in the current climate but he doesn’t give a tit about that
