USA 2024 US Presidential Election: Trump vs Harris

[Gethelred]

Okay, we've had a good run. Some have had a good laugh and others have melted a little, but from this point we're improving the standard of discussion.

The rules for the SRP are thus:

Why is the old white rapist allowed to make such an issue of his opponent's race?

Why’s his opponent now making such a deal of her race?

 

[10571z]

Forgot to iron your hood this morning did ya?

err what…

 

[carltonchelsea]

err what…

Your pointy white hood, you might be racist but not real bright!

 

[campbell]

The women of USA will decide this.
Roe vs Wade.
This racist gender petty dehumanising bullying by Repubs.

If all Trump has is to race bait then Harris must be doing OK. Watched that interview from this week again...wow just wow....he cannot speak in a calm, coherent, respectful manner to anyone.

Why’s his opponent now making such a deal of her race?

She's not, it was Trump who turned it into a big deal yesterday and the racist fools that think he's a good idea have taken it and run.

Oh no I understood your KKK reference. Just confused why you believe im racist

Unsurprisingly for a man that doesn’t read or listen, he doesn’t know a great deal, certainly not nuanced policy ‘content’. He just bullshits. Eg. he doesn’t know what DEI stands for, other than it is the new right wing code for ‘another n***** parachuted into a position they don’t deserve’.

He made a fool of himself, with the bleach suggestion through ‘a little bit of knowledge can be dangerous’. In the afternoons he’d sometimes get bored watching TV and walk into West Wing meetings. He’d listen a couple of minutes, pick up what was being said and then insert himself into the conversation - boasting about his expertise on the matter. This day it was the Covid Team’s meeting and he overheard them discussing conditions not conducive to bacteria/microbes multiplying - later at the press conference off he goes, much to everyone’s embarrassment.

His act, when trying to appear knowledgeable and sincere, is not in the remotest plausible. How so many people fall for it beggers belief. In a job interview he’d be f****d with the second question.

The prisoner swap should be lauded by both sides of politics but nope, Trump makes it all about him and his ego and lies. Who cares which Pres negotiated the release.

You don’t think the media has changed their narrative about her heritage?

 

[MtGHawk]

You don’t think the media has changed their narrative about her heritage?

Nope. You guys are obsessed with her heritage. Just worry about substantive policy discussion that Harris can run rings around Trump with.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

So it's not a real political jingle?? Confusing argument, this one, hey?

John Farnham has allowed his songs to be used in the political space once.

That was last in last years voice referendum.

 

[Gough]

You don’t think the media has changed their narrative about her heritage?

No.

 

[Dazzler9]

You don’t think the media has changed their narrative about her heritage?

Errr, what? There is no 'narrative'. Just the occasional reference to her mixed ethnicity here and there, mostly from the Looney Tunes crowd on Fox.

Exactly. She attended Howard University Washington DC in 1983 - 40 years ago. That’s a long time being black. President of Black Law Students Association at University of California 1988. Then 2011: first black Attorney General of California.

The claim that Jamaican's aren't black is news to this guy....

See what Trump's little performance does?

Get people responding, and energise his weirdo army to get out and talk about race, while blaming the object of their hate for the hate.

We all know the tactic now. Claim you're "Just asking questions" while guiding the opinions of viewers and fans looking for someone to blame for their grievances, real or imagined.

The impressionable weirdos out themselves online through social media, making it clear they can be manipulated by...

The political operatives in the field - the organisers and the figureheads, their lieutenants and wannabes - who take their cue from the politicians and opinion-spouts. These ghouls gather up the angry mob to descend on the target. This could be online, or in the street like we've just seen in England.

It serves nobody but the people positioned in power or positioning themselves to take power.

More and more over the decades the common factor across different societies have been the Murdochs, clipping the ticket on the way through. Taking the ad money. Trading the political favours.

Elon Musk wanted a taste of this, but has found it harder to monetise, though he is getting there. But with Elon it's a bit different. To my eye he personally looks more like the dimwit in the field being rounded up by the manipulators. Posting sycophantic "Amen!" responses to the messages of the more skilled hate-preachers.

The objective is to distract from the rich people's culpability in holding prosperity back from the population. Direct that anger at the foreigner, the darker-skinned, the "funny named".

None of this is new or original. It's been pointed out before, many times. Sadly it keeps happening.

Sorry to be that guy, but Bob Marley was half-white

 

[Happy Mastenator]

Sigh...................................................

 

[Dazzler9]

Not that it matters of course. I just found it amusing.

I mean, if Kamala ain't black, then nor is Bob Marley. Might be a little hard for Donny to process that one!
