Cenk Uygur "Kamala Harris is a talking point machine. People in mainstream media can't see it because that's all they're used to. But in the age of authenticity, it's killing her. Trump might be authentically nuts, but no one thinks he's a robot. People dont want political robots anymore.
I've never seen so many contradictory numbers in a race. So, we all have to Luke Skywalker this thing and rely on our intuition. That comes from our experience in covering politics and knowing how to weigh trends and numbers. My intuition is screaming that Trump is going to win.
I had the same feeling of doom last Sunday that I had the weekend before the 2016 election. I think Trump's populism is going to beat Kamala's strategy of only using talking points. Her shift to corporate CEOs and Cheney support was disastrous, though no one in MSM realizes it.
MAGA, this doesn't mean that if Trump loses a close election that my intuition (or yours) was right and that proves the election was rigged. No, it just means we were wrong. And undecided and unlikely voters broke for her. I hope I'm wrong and will happily acknowledge it if I am.
I probably dislike Trump more than anyone else on the left, but no matter how many terrible things I say about him, it's never good enough for the Democrats. They want me to ALSO kiss Kamala's ass and pretend she's going to be our saviour. No deal. I only say things I believe."

if biden hadn’t been forced out she would simply be the little known vp with extremely low approval ratings. she’s a very unimpressive presidential candidate but not seeing any hate.

No, he wasn't "pushed out", he chose to step down. God Bless him.
And I've always been very impressed by her. What she's done in only three months on the campaign is phenomenal, and something they'll write about for years.

Kamala speaks in details and they have been posted here repeatedly.

but i do which is why i’m voting to change administrations from those who have fucked up the last 4 years. there are many people in this country willing to vote for someone other than democrats. you and your buddy struggle to grasp that but just because you guys have driven off anyone not a yellow dog democrat from here doesn’t mean there aren’t a large number of well informed people who don’t see eye to eye with you. it’s damned odd you guys think attacking me does anything other than make you look like assholes

just caught the middle of an interesting Al Jazeera program. They have a US team anchors & journalists. A US dairy farmer was being interviewed. She says she's still paying for the fucked up tariffs Trump imposed during his last administration, and she's really pissed. Imagine what his tariffs will do to the economy if he implements them as he has promised. We'll all be paying dearly. US industries as well as consumers. You might want to educated yourself a bit more. I did.

There's a massive difference between voting for a conservative or a democrat, and voting for a fascist dictator.
If you don't understand why there might be blow back...like big blow back from Americans, we can't help you.

related to the topic of election strategy the well is dry on people who believe the fascist thing. that is mostly the same as the anyone but trump crowd. you illustrate the point damn well. screaming omg he’s a fascist isn’t a compelling argument for most people in this country which is why people are looking for more

You're living in a dark dream, Old Timer...one that GOPers seem to favor over Realilty...
"but just because you guys have driven off anyone not a yellow dog democrat from here doesn’t mean there aren’t a large number of well informed people who don’t see eye to eye with you."
You inaccurately call up and beat that "yellow dog democrat" term to smithereens for no other reason than the fact that using it interjects the implication that "Democrats have no sense of reasoning or logic in comparing candidates, they'll vote for anyone who's a Democrat regardless of who they are or what they stand for..." Um...in case you hadn't noticed, Old Timer, that is precisely what's true of the GOPers... You acknowledge what a distasteful creature he is, but he's NOT A DEMOCRAT, so you're a *yellow dog repuglican* by your own favorite term's definition, pal... lol...
...*doesn’t mean there aren’t a large number of well informed people who don’t see eye to eye with you*...
I guess that's a matter of opinion. In my world, no one who is *correctly informed* "sees eye to eye with" anything having to do with Fascism, or the GOP since the GOP is attempting to create a Fascist government here.
It would seem very much as if you're okay with that, Old Timer... Is that true? Are you *okay with* the tenets of Fascism? The racism? The abolishing of abortion in all cases? A religious dictatorship? The abolishment of women's reproductive healthcare???
If you vote for Trump, you are implicitly saying that you are okay with all those things...
Is that not true? If we actually unpack all the vast and various changes in our society that GOP Fascism *translates to, in real life*...take it out from behind deliberately deceptive, milquetoast terms like "a different point of view," or "people who see things in a different way"...revealing that *what we're really talking about are angles of unspeakably inhumane ugliness*...why do you all suddenly go silent from your self-righteous screeching?
Do you agree with these tenets, Old Timer? You whine that you're not given the right to speak what you believe, here you go, I'm asking/inviting you to kindly hold forth on just exactly it is, that you find resonance within yourself with what the Fascist GOP is really about...
So...? I'll be waiting...

odd you felt the need to say that. are your family new immigrants? or is that just a petty accusation that anyone who would vote for trump is a hitler lover?

my father and grandfathers are WWII veterans. One grandfather lost a sister and mother in the german concentration camps. Our family's stories are still fresh and vivid and real.
My family ancestors have been defending our country since the revolutionary war.
Others, came later..and defended the country after they got here.
I have children that have served (and serving) and a husband that has served. We both have families that have served proudly.
Some people are voting for him because they are hitler lovers. Others just want authoritarian...any flavor. Still others are still pretending they aren't in favor of those things, but yet will vote for those things for their own reasons, no matter what it will do to our country.
Then there's lil' dung beetle you. begrudgingly pushing that piece of shit up the hill despite other choices.

you could have agreed it was a petty accusation and saved a lot of typing. or is it just that you enjoy the soapbox shit and talking down to people? the if you vote for trump you are a fascist hitler lover isn’t a very credible thing, it’s just petty

just imagine if the democrats had run an actual candidate? but for whatever reason they wanted the president with historically low approval ratings and when his dementia became something they could no longer hide put in the vp who had even lower approval ratings. this has been a damn strange election year

That was an old Dave Chappelle clip. Years before Trump became an insurrectionist, which beyond lies and cutsie populism grabbing disqualifies him for public office, or at the very least, should have.
Sorry if my posts are beyond your understanding. I'll try to be more clear.
Perhaps you could grow a way beyond reactive insults?
