USA Kamala Harris Concedes. God Help America

[Blue1980]

By the way was it the Democrats policy to remove the tax loopholes that allow the wealthy to pay little tax?
Like Labor in Australia it’s cool to shout from the clouds yet they never ever remove the loopholes. Why is that????

As I said, I said the dems were less bad when it comes to taxing the wealthy not good. Why don't they close these loopholes? I assume scared shitless of offending the donors.

I have said before the dems need to be either disolved or taken over MAGA style by a Bernie style progressive working class movement.

So yeah if you think you are going to get someone cheering the dems on, you got the wrong guy.

Yet every bit as disingenuous to think the Dems don’t look after the rich as priority #1. All politicians do and it is ridiculous to think otherwise.

See I don't understand this argument. Dems don't do that much to help working class people, so **** them! Trump openly doesn't care so he is held to no standard, so yay MAGA?

Yes he is held to a std, he was voted out of office just 4 years ago. The Dems are that bad that they now think Trump is the better option.
How are the Dems going really? They are a basket case and anyone who thinks that Harris was a better option is seriously deluded. They got nothing to offer.

How out of touch can you be

Tell us your thoughts on the fact over 90% of black women voters voted for Harris.

Dying to know.

Surely it was because Oprah and Beyonce endorsed Harris.

Can’t see the problem myself.

I mean, it’s not my cup of tea, but who TF is “Clandestine” and who TF cares what they think?

Another Monday morning quarterback is all that is.

At least she performed. More than you can say for Beyonce.

And has Clandestine not noticed that there is an “African” in “African American” and African dance has probably had elements like what you see there for about 10,000 years.

Would Clandestine prefer that African Americans assimilate, and suppress their heritage? Only dance gigues and gavottes and sarabandes and polkas? That sort of thing?

Twerking is not African heritage. It is ratchet behaviour that nobody likes

Um, wrong, it goes back thousands of years via fertility rituals.

Does it? You’ll be stretched to find its existence beyond the 90s

It's where it should have stayed, not normalised in front of minors.

Even if it were truly historic, it doesn’t make it a part of culture worth embarrassing

It just proves that it is something derived around sex and fertility. Not something that should be exposed to minors.

I hate when my daughters do it because they know its not just a dance move and they are not oblivious to it's sexual nature.

Refer to my previous post re the Dems

Harris was lucky to have the celebs endorse her, otherwise she would have lost by a far larger margin.

Nothing to do with luck- they did the right thing because they had the good sense to recognise she’d be a better option than trump. Pity not enough thought that.

 

[Romeoh1]

Interesting perspective, arguing the Dems lost because they ignored young men, not (as is fast becoming the official verdict) because their candidate was a woman.

‘A fatal miscalculation’: masculinity researcher Richard Reeves on why Democrats lost young men

Kamala Harris and Tim Walz had an opportunity to win a demographic that swung toward Trump – but they didn’t fight for it, says the author

www.theguardian.com

Interesting article and seems to have salient points-it was one of the factors surely, although doesn’t mean they got it right in choosing trump. I wonder how those young men voted in 2020.

There’s a few things to unpack here, and I think it depends on the individual situation.

1) it would be preferable if they were happy that prices increased, if and on the basis that their family friends and communities had more and better rewarded employment by onshoring.
2) outsourcing overseas is ok, if there is money invested in retooling the workforce into different roles.

Going the other way and why many Americans are pissed, is that jobs have been sent overseas; they, their families friends and communities have been left behind; and prices have gone up recently.

Analogous to are people happy to pay a bit more for an environmentally sustainable product compared to one that isn’t.

Americans have the highest wages in the world and their unemployment is extremely low.

Saying americans feel left behind is like saying usain bolt felt left behind when he broke the world record in the 100m sprint.

whats happened in america is there is a couple of small and mid tier cities which have been left behind by losing manufacturing. The whole country is not going to be happy about massive increases in prices just to help out those couple of cities.

And yet we know for a fact that kids who are shielded from knowledge are more vulnerable to predators and early pregnancy.

Any dance likely has a sexual nature, overt or not.
