US Presidential Election, Nov 5th 2024

Or maybe they would have voted for a woman who had a plan, or a policy, or who could answer questions, hold a press conference, speak to real people, sell a dream, inspire working Americans........

The neck on someone using all those things as a factor that’s worked against Harris whilst supporting one of the worst humans on the planet who has shown he’s incapable of stringing a coherent sentence together, never mind show us his policies.
By inspire do you mean spread hate and fear? By sell a dream do you mean grift like fuck?

I’m starting to think Harris might have been a worse choice than Clinton. As you say she’s a terrible public speaker and she’s robotic - she couldn’t connect with anyone, other than basically Hollywood.

She reminded me of Starmer, No principles or vision to hang her pitch on

I've seen this repeated a lot today. It's simply not true.

here is the problem with politics. no one accepts that their side have done wrong so go on the attack. Harris and her supporters did spend a lot of time talking about Trump.

BUT Trump and his supporters spent their time talking about Harris.

from a, relatively, neutral position I felt they were as bad as each other.

It is simply true.

We had three threads on here that were all just basically outpourings of hate/rage/ fear about trump and anyone questioning Kamala's suitability, popularity or likelihood of winning was pretty much abused. Mostly by the characters that have now largely slunk off after weeks throwing their treasured opinions around like facts.

You were fucking wumming most of the time tbf

Hate/rage/fear still stands

Laughable really as all Trump does is say he will fix this he will do that they will be the best, there is zero context. Why is he allowed to get away with it but Harris wasn't?

It's not even that she wasn't able to get away with it. She had policy, she spoke about it in her rallies. They were on her website.

People who go on about her not having any plans or policies either didn't try very hard to find them, or know she had them but still criticise her for it anyway.

Why didn't all the Democrats that voted for Biden vote for Harris? Are they racist or sexist? Or perhaps they never really existed in 2020.

Don’t need that last sentence, this isn’t Twitter…

On a side note, I really liked Walz. I hope I haven’t seen the last of him.

Why did Trump lose the first time of asking? What has changed since then, yes we came out of Covid people need to take that into account so the Democrats have had to deal with that, unfortunately the insular nature of the Americans and the blindness to see what’s in front of them rather the drive for more $$$$$s. I hope it royally backfires on them, trouble is they take us all with them.

Thing is you cant go on about the other side constantly if you are already in power
At some point you have to back your record, offer things you could do different and then a show a different way forward
She just offered more of the same

Avoid the question. Good one. So where did all the 2020 Democrat voters go? They just decided to sit home and allow a "fascist" to be elected over a poor noble woman of colour?
