The Real timschochet

No they’re not. BLM had nothing to do with Antifa. BLM organized peaceful protests of regular people during the day (my daughters participated). Then thugs came out at night. The thugs were mostly disorganized individuals; Antifa is largely a myth in most instances. If you saw differently then you didn’t know what you were seeing. Ever since 2020 there has been an attempt by conservatives to conflate the peaceful protests with the thugs who rioted. It’s always been a false narrative.

This whole North Korea thing is so ironic. Sure Kamala had a gaffe. But Trump is the one that would actually PREFER an alliance with North Korea.

Because some peaceful protesters who did nothing wrong were wrongfully arrested.

To be fair, she didn’t have much to do with this. The VP is largely ceremonial. Kamala really shouldn’t be given credit, or blame, for any of Biden’s agenda. No doubt she will be by both sides, but it’s not accurate.

She supported peaceful protests. So did millions of Americans including me. She never supported rioting and you know it.

Well first off BLM had nothing to do with rioting in 2020. This lie gets repeated endlessly. And second please stop lying about Kamala Harris being supportive of violence or rioting, ever. Or of being a Marxist. You know you’re lying about both.

I appreciate the kind words. Yes this will be a problem for Kamala, mainly because it was implied that she could actually do more than she had the power to do. But the entire border issue is, IMO, drenched in falsehoods from the conservative side. There are actually less border crossings right now than there were during the last year of Trump’s first term. Undocumented immigrants are blamed for the rise in violent crime which is false in two ways: we have record lows in violent crime (so there is no rise) and undocumented immigrants commit far less of it, by percentage, than do native born Americans. Finally Trump’s proposed “solution” to this issue, mass deportation of millions of people, would be so catastrophic to our economy and so horrific that it makes any mistakes Biden might have made pale in comparison. Hopefully Kamala can make these points effectively, mainly because they’re all true. But I’m worried. The notion that somehow Trump is right on this issue, false as that is, is already entrenched in the American public, mostly due to good messaging by conservatives and very poor messaging by the administration. Not sure that can be changed, or even neutralized, in a few months.

This is awesome: https://www.yahoo.com/news/approve-message-kamala-harris-instantly-081918030.html She’s wiping the floor with him in every which way.

Instead why not address my question? If you think Kamala was a failure with regard to the border, please explain what she had the power to do there that she didn’t do?

OK? It’s a false assertion.

I offered you anecdotes. I acknowledged that there will be no way to accurately measure this for another couple of weeks.

Not to you. I strongly doubt I could offer you any evidence on any political subject that would penetrate your cognitive dissonance, no offense. Others reading these posts might be more open minded.

The MSM bought into the conservative narrative. It’s happened before. They realize their error now. It’s a dumb label. If you think that Kamala caused problems at the border, or failed to do something, be specific. What powers was she given that she should have used differently? (Hint: she had NO power to do anything.)

Nice try. You’re repeating a claim made by a few of my critics. It’s not true, never has been.

Because it’s not accurate.

It’s so ironic that people around here accuse me of trolling for offering my opinions and engaging in discussion. One thing I NEVER do is post these dumb videos and internet memes over and over. To me that’s the definition of trolling. They bring absolutely nothing to this forum, IMO.

You made this point at least 4 or 5 times yesterday and now you’re making it this morning? It’s not getting any stronger.

I got family in Israel “bud”; if anything my people are on the other side.

That’s all we have now are anecdotes. Even Enten’s numbers are from Sunday, the day Biden quit. We will have a better indication in a week or so. I think she’s going to get a huge number of young people, and to answer your question in the other thread, a huge number of black voters? How much? Couldn’t tell you. Enough to win the election, how’s that?

Of course they will

Time will tell. Obviously I’m hoping that it reaches Obama levels. There’s some good reason to think it will.

This is the opposite of what I’m seeing nearly everywhere else. https://www.bostonglobe.com/2024/07/24/metro/biden-kamala-harris-young-voters-2024-election-gen-z-brat/ https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4790269-harris-voter-registration/amp/ https://amp.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/jul/24/kamala-harris-gen-z-voters

I met Willie Brown once. Slick guy, wore a $1000 suit. He got things done.

This argument died quickly. Next?

Actually yeah she will. So much.
