[Politics] The 2024 US Election - Trump v Harris

[BadFish]

Powerful stuff. And spot on too

That's all very well, but Trump told us that kamala lied about working at MacDonald's so it's a tough decision, you know.

I don’t disagree, but don’t underestimate the extent to which Democrats are in the pockets of their big donors too, all of which are, well, less than ideal. It’s not a black and white issue.

This seems like an attempt to add balance.

I remain interested though, what are the things about trump you like so much that they.. Er.. Trump the following.

- convictions
- attempts to unturrupt the transfer of power.
- the recorded willingness to destroy the constitution to get what he wants.
- several members of his previousgovernment coming out on record to describe how unsuitable for office he is.
- project 2025
- those stupid red hats.

I mean the list goes on but you get the gist.

For me any one of these would make him unsuitable for office.

Bidenomics:



US poised to outpace other advanced economies.

No doubt Donald will claim it's because the IMF expect him to win the election or some nonsense.

This is what I don’t get, they keep saying Trump is good for the economy. But the Dems record has been the best in the G7

How did it look under trump ?

Trump is clearly an absolute fruitcake but all this mass hysteria about the world being in danger etc if he gets in power I take with a pinch of salt. In his last presidency, apart from COVID, which was hardly his fault, the world didn't fall apart and it was a lot more peaceful than now around the globe.

As for Kamala, genuinely what has she ever done? Pretty much absolutely nothing. It was always a stupid candidate to put up against trump.

I see the bookies now have trump as very strong favourite.

Big bets being placed, so if he loses there is more smoke for him to shout that the election was rigged?
