The Real timschochet

No she didn’t and this shows that you’re not really aware of this. It’s a subject she’s been focused on since she was a Senator, she’s proposed it before, both as a Senator and as VP. It’s neither idiotic nor corrupt, and for you to use those particular terms in light of some of the promises that Trump has made recently, with NO history behind them, also displays incredible hypocrisy on your part, or ignorance, or both.

Instead of the opinion of someone who absurdly believes Kamala is an idiot, I am listening to her interview with Charlemagne the God. It’s available on podcast. If you listen to this you may disagree with her, you may dislike her, but there’s no way you can possibly think she’s an idiot if you’re in the least a fair person.

First you need to demonstrate that she is “so unpopular” before the why.

There appear to be two worlds out there: the real world and the fantasy world of this forum. In the real world this race is a dead heat. The polls mostly have Kamala Harris consistently but slightly in the lead; the betting sites have Donald Trump currently slightly ahead (but not consistently so.) The high level of early voting and enthusiasm seems to favor Harris; other factors do as well. In the fantasy world of this forum, Trump has got this race locked up. It’s not even particularly close. Dems are panicking, Kamala is flailing, Tim Walz is about to be arrested for child molestation- it’s all a catastrophe for liberals.

I didn’t watch your video. The title is enough to disinterest me. But…you do realize that she IS pretty popular right? And that she’s in good shape to win this election?

I agree as well, and FWIW I think most people are fundamentally good (even @supermike80!)

I have no interest whatsoever in comparing conservatives to fascists. Unfortunately you guys have chosen a proto-fascist as your leader. Every time this is pointed out to you, you complain that we’re being unfair. Too bad this is on you. Get rid of the would be dictator and we can have civility again. But until then don’t expect us to treat you as normal. You’ve let the savages take control.

At times there are some similarities, particularly the call for violence. The video you posted, and your interpretation of it, is total bullsh!t and not worth responding to other than pointing out the really bad stuff that’s happening, all from the guy you’re supporting, so that’s what I did.

Steelers are always brought up in these trades but it never happens. Maybe they’re just not interested?

Dems won’t riot. Big difference

Whatever happens here is one thing we can be sure of: Harris won’t whine about it afterward. She’s a grownup.

Are you bothered at all by the racist violence being threatened by the guy you support and his minions?

You seem upset. Stay out of the thread if you don’t like what I write.

Trump’s folks are going to challenge voting in Detroit, Philadelphia, Atlanta. We can expect violence on Election Day. Make no mistake this is all about racism and scaring black people out of voting. That’s the MAGA folks best chance of winning.

Reuters/Ipsos poll: Harris holds steady 3 point lead: https://www.reuters.com/world/us/harris-holds-steady-marginal-46-43-lead-over-trump-reutersipsos-poll-finds-2024-10-15/ Sorry, @Strike still a dead heat, still Harris marginally in the lead. And while the gamblers, at this moment, are going the other way, I’d still rather be in her position. I suspect that the gamblers will come to this same conclusion shortly.

This is also a wrong and lazy analysis.

We crossed that point a long time ago. @jerryskids has developed a near version of this: whatever the orange guy says goes, but if he says something really crazy then he doesn’t really mean it. Or we misunderstood.

Well then you would be wrong. And lazy.

I need to modify something I just wrote before I get taken to task for it by @Strike I wrote that Harris has the aggregate lead in Pennsylvania. That’s according to 538. According to RCP, Harris has the aggregate lead. Both are by very slim margins. So…dead heat.

Here’s an interesting poll but not a shocker: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/harris-holds-big-advantage-among-early-voters-trump-election-day-voters-poll.amp If you’re voting early chances are you’re voting for Harris…by a wide margin. If you’re voting on Election Day chances are you’re voting for Trump…by a wide margin.

As to this part- when you posted the article you did not write “this is why many people support Trump”; you wrote “this is why I support Trump” and that’s why I called you lazy. Of course many in the public who don’t follow politics carefullly will be lazy and think “well things were better then so Trump must be better.” You participate in these political discussions so you should know better. But you don’t,

I don’t believe Trump has the edge. I think it’s a dead heat and if I favored anyone it would still be Kamala Harris. This morning Morning Consult released their latest poll- Harris by 4 points. Two weeks ago they had her up by 5 so Trump is gaining a little but he hasn’t caught up in that poll. He caught up in the NBC poll but he hasn’t taken the lead. She’s still ahead in Pennsylvania which to me is the poll that matters the most. So no I’m not changing the title.

Unusual for you to make silly demands ala @Strike but whatever. I don’t even see the point of your question. Of course Trump has no legal power as President-Elect; he doesn’t have power until he becomes President. That’s when the abuse would start. Hopefully we’ll never know if Trump can use the military in awful ways because he will lose the election. But there is still the very real threat that he can call forth a mob when he loses. Recent history has shown us that liberals can handle losing; conservatives can’t. They are pretty sure to riot as they did before.

So he deserves being arrested by the military?

IMO these “issues” are either irrelevant or bullsh!t. Like so many of the “issues” you raise. I read the editorial you posted. It’s as lazy as you are. It basically offers the tired argument “despite all of Trump’s faults, things were good when he was President.” No discussion of why they were good, what he did to make them good, what he plans to do now. Because any examination of such details destroys the argument.
