Where is Kamala?

Just saw this post on X, and I tend to agree...

"Kamala lost as she campaigned - a coward who couldn't face the media, couldn't handle the pressure. Didn't even have the character required to concede on election night. Went home to sulk. The opposite of presidential material."

Really and truly was there nobody with any substance the Democrats could have put forward. What on earth did they expect. The bar was so low.

I think a lot of people think that @Annabella92

Unfortunately then we'd get JD Vance but...him dying may not actually be the worst thing for the country/world.

What is right wing thinking exactly?

It's when you take decisions based on a fear of losing your privileges with no regard to the long term damage caused to society/ humanity.

There is such a thing as right/left wing trains of thought but this is a poor example. There are plenty of positions in leftist politics that take this stance.

Only a gullible moron would go on about this. Trump is the worst of all possible choices for the US and the world.
Right wing thinking will be the end of us all eventually.

I think she rose to the challenge that was thrust upon her admirably. I wasn’t a fan before the campaigning but I warmed to her and I loved tim Walz. I was so excited for them to win. And I truly believed they would from here in Philadelphia - I drove around the city and into New Jersey and Pennsylvania countryside and saw almost as many Harris signs as trump ones - way less trump signs than the last two elections.

instead we have lost everything. House, senate, trust in humanity. It is horrifying. And this goady post is not helping anyone.

I think I was most excited not to ever have to hear his voice again. It is going to be a long 4 years. I hope he does not survive it.

You hope he dies?

For the US... maybe. None of my business.

For the world? It is probably a better outcome. The Democrats are masters of war in in Bob Dylan sense, and Trump's financial interests do not lie that way so he is not.

And your comment is "adult conversation"???

I give you -

Why always insults!? Really is baffling.
And boring. 😴

That really gave a complex addition to the debate!

Show quote history

I obviously meant adult conversation with adults, i.e, not someone just throwing childish insults around!

Frankly cannot be bothered.

I am so, so glad I don’t know you.

Maybe she doesn’t work after 5pm like the absolute dick we have in charge here. Good job it’s not a Friday. We wouldn’t be seeing her until Monday.

This is absolute bollocks, but you know that.

Sadly no. I was a bit constipated that day and unable to squeeze one out.

They will each have their reasons. Have you asked them?

What was that again that you said about, "adult conversation"??

Jumpingthruhoops · 07/11/2024 11:02

Oh they are and everybody knows that. But I'm assuming his voters look beyond the personality and vote for the policies which, for whatever reason, they believe will benefit their lives in America.

I mean, think about it: why would someone vote for theirs and their kids futures to be shit? They just wouldn't.

How naive.

Jumpingthruhoops · 07/11/2024 10:39

Not a Trump supporter. Nor am I a Kamala supporter. Both those things can be true at the same time.

But, on your point, I long for the day that both sides can have an adult conversation without resorting to insults. I suspect I'll be waiting a long time...

I agree with this. His speech today was awful. Slurred speech, repetition and what his good ol' mum and dad used to say. He should have stepped back much earlier and maybe we wouldn't have ended up with this mess.

Yep. No apologies, no explanation, zilch.
The Dems threw the election away.

I've just seen a picture of her sitting, looking defeated, probably knackered, with Hilary Clinton. They were on plastic chairs, in a corridor. Why would you post this? I find it deeply disturbing and completely lacking in human charity. Are you an American Trump supporter?

To be fair Kamala was up against it from the start. That doddery old fart Biden should have stepped down sooner. If he had done the decent thing and stepped down earlier the Democrats would have had time to regroup get a new candidate. Someone new and with charisma and new ideas. Let's face it they were never going to elect a female president.

There were gallows set up outside with people chanting for the VP to be hanged. The Speaker of the House had her laptop stolen. Feces were smeared on the walls. Police officers were severely injured.

What kind of guided tours do you take?

I went on a guided tour round Cliveden. We definitely didn't break any windows, go into private rooms and nick stuff. Did I fail to get the full experience?
