US Election November 5th

[Spectric]

They are both bad in different ways but Harris is not going to solve american issues by going round and baring her teeth at everyone and giggling, this will come down to the same choices we had in the Uk and that is not what we have had, anything else has to be better which seems to have been a bad move as we will all be finding out soon.

I think it's high time we started arguing about this again.

Trump good - Harris bad.
Harris good - Trump bad.
And so on.

How about: Harris mediocre – Trump bad. ?

 

[Rewound]

I don't want Trump to throw Ukraine under the bus, and likewise I din't want harris to throw israel under that bus.

Either is not good. As usual choice of least worst

Harris is probably less worse than Trump

but think Trump will win.

dung state of affairs

are you choosing to make personal attacks because you are tribally right wing and Democrats are ostensibly your "enemy"?

I hate to say it but Kamala Harris does have policies so maybe it would be those that will help to solve American issues, maybe you could focus on them

which seems to have been a bad move as we will all be finding out soon.

I think you might be getting over excited, the Labour govt will turn out fine, but we wont know for 3 or 4 years if that

Its gonna take quite a bit of time to undo the damage of the last 14 years and the ongoing damage of brexit.

What this country needs is to ditch the neo liberal free market policies and reverse the terrible privatisation of al our infrastructure and services.........sadly Labour cant / wont do that

Really? Is that your answer? How about addressing the perception that all she is able to do is smile inanely and giggle? Do you find her erudite and an effective debater?

I hate to say it but Kamala Harris does have policies so maybe it would be those that will help to solve American issues, maybe you could focus on them

Then why can't she answer with a nice succinct summary of what they are when asked rather than resorting to some incoherent word salad?
I suspect that there are policies but that they aren't hers per se.

Is that you crossing your fingers and hoping for the best?

Trump literally danced for 38mins after kind of answering 5 questions and you think Harris is the one with problems?

You think Harris can't answer a question with a nice succinct summary? I can't even understand most of the insane rambling of Trump, and when he does manage to put some words together they are normally vague or contradicting other things he's said depending on who he is speaking at. Many of his words aren't even actual words, as he can barely speak properly any more. I'm surprised all his dictator friends can understand what he is on about.

As for Trumps policies what exactly are they?

Do you find her erudite and an effective debater?

Let her answer.



“I think it’s very important for us at every moment in time, and certainly this one, to see the moment in time in which we exist and are present, and to be able to contextualise it, to understand where we exist in the history and in the moment as it relates not only to the past but the future.”

 

[RobinBHM]

You mean a perception put out by the right wing media and believed by right wing supporters?

Are you right wing? I’d guess yes…..

I can very easily address it, here is Kamala Harris in a parliamentary committee challenging senator Barr

Please point out where she is smiling inanely or giggling

 

[Spectric]

No it is just an observation from seeing her on Tv, it is probably some nervous habbit.

Is that you crossing your fingers and hoping for the best?

That is blind loyality where the masters can do no wrong no mater what they inflict on there subjects.

Where did I mention Trump? Trump might be a major pineapple or the best thing next to the second coming but the observation was about Harris and public perceptions of her.
So, I'll ignore the whataboutery and ask you as well, do you find her erudite and an effective debater?

It's a choice between 2 people becoming the President of the United States of America, the most powerful nation in the world with real world consequences for more than just the US, in particular Ukraine and therefore Europe.

Pretending that you can discuss your perceived failings of one of them whilst ignoring the other is somewhat disingenuous. It is also a somewhat weird concept to ask if someone is a good debater, but not allow you to compare them to the person they are debating.

Is she an effective debater - Yes, she completely dominated Trump in the last debate to the point he refused to debate again.

I look in detail at their legislative agenda set out in the Kings speech and their manifesto, I dont get distracted by trivial new cycle stuff like Taylor Swift tickets

I personally dont think Labour are great, but at least they are doing what governments are meant to do: governing.

The last administration were right wing populists and policies were chosen by media headlines, culture war distractions and using inflammatory language ti ramp up hatred against foreigners..............Trump is a right wing populist and he does exactly the same


business leaders also seem to think Labour govt arent too terrible either, so its not just me

Britain is ready for investment, say big banks and companies​

In a letter to The Times, lenders, private equity giants, insurers and tech groups say that Britain’s greater stability has increased its attractiveness

You might not like it but the economy currently is the legacy from the last govt and we wont know whether Labour have achieved anything for 3 or 4 years....so Im sure we can come back then and discuss it

That is blind loyality where the masters can do no wrong no mater what they inflict on there subjects.

I do not believe "Labour can do no wrong", in fact I dont think they are very good, they need to move from the constraints they set themselves to win power and they need to make bold moves to improve this country.

Labour have made a very silly mistake on dropping the winter fuel allowance without doing an impact assessment and making sure they dont make those in need suffering.

But they are at least a government in power doing the serious business of governing

the last administration were governing by Daily Mail headlines, thats what you get when you put Boris Johnson a journalist into power, you get the Rwanda scheme, you get inflammatory language against foreigners, you get phoney culture wars.

 

[RobinBHM]

I dont quite understand why you think her smile and giggling is what you use as a measure of how she would help the American people

Do you not think it would be better to measure what she will do for the people based on her policies?

yes Kamala Harris has got herself caught up in word salads, everybody has to learn and has off days

but youve cherry picked one example, it doesnt prove she cant be an effective debater or leader

was her whole interview like that? -I doubt it

what did you make of her debate against Trump?

here is an example of Kamala Harris interrogating
