US Politics Thread

Presumably Harris’s husband was speaking at a Jewish event and a Russian controlled account has decided to take that clip out of context to appeal to antisemites and people angry with Israel to try and encourage them not to vote for her. Saying that speech means US politics is focusing on Israel and Jewish identity is a bit weird considering he isn’t even a politician.

What was the correct context? Better yet, what about a Jewish guy talking about his family do this people think will cause Democrats to not vote for Kamala Harris?

Because it's looking so close both sides will pretty much say anything to buy votes at this point. You've got trumps unrealistic economic policy pledges and Kamalas campaign doing stuff like this, the 'forgivalble loans' etc.

I live in the US, my son is an American citizen by birth (as well as Swiss, British, and Spanish), and many of the people I count amongst my family are Americans. And the course the US takes—politically, economically, militarily—will have a massive impact on the world (and definitely Europe).

Why is it “proper weird” to care about the future of America, even if you aren’t American or living in America?

Wasn't the point of your post, but how is your son Swiss, through his mother? If yes, I hope he doesn't get her sense of humour .....
 
Have heard almost 100 million people have voted already. Poll says 25% of black males voted for Trump. Black women, however, seem to be remaining loyal to the Democrats.

Evidence seems that turnout is lower amongst minorities. If Trump wins 15% of the black vote and turnout is projected to be lower than 2020 amongst minorities, Harris cannot win.

It’s a big if though…

This conclusion doesn't make a whole lot of sense without talking about overall turnout.

Perhaps I wasn’t clear. If the data is correct that a certain demographics turnout is down, then it matters less if we look at turnout overall.

This is because the black vote is vitally import to the Dems model. Although black people are about 13% of the vote the Dems are relying on turnout and about 90% loyalty in key places like Atlanta, Detroit, Philadelphia, Milwaukee and sections of North Carolina that has a larger black populace…..
