There’s no way anybody is going to convince trump that he should treat a liberal black woman as a worthy opponent. His white supremacist genes and his deepseated disdain for women combined with his textbook narcissism make it utterly impossible

Probably, but keep in mind that this election is still his only chance of staying out of jail. I expect him to fight dirty.

Does he know any other way to fight? I sure haven’t heard of him making use of said knowledge, if he does.

He doesn’t even know how to fight dirty, that’s just the emergent behavior when you flail aimlessly while covered in your own waste.

Hasn’t he already avoided the whole jail problem with the SC deciding that anything a president does is totally cool and perfectly fine as long as it’s “official”?

Not necessarily, there needs to be a definition made of whether or not a particular action is official

No, that’s accurate. Polls had Trump sweeping the swing states and we’ve known since 2015 that the Dems would have to drop the incumbent to stand a chance in 2024.

I remember that the results were within the expected margin of error, and a lot of people being surprised about this for some reason.

Do you risk your devices by clicking on “polling texts” or talk to pollsters?

I’ve talked to pollsters on occasion, but I don’t click on any sus links or tolerate sms fundraising.

I think he’s going to make some unforced errors, for sure. I do think he’s scared. I’m not sure underestimate is the right word.

Harris is the perfect opponent to face him as his party attacks women’s rights and courts black voters. His whole strategy went out the window and he’s floundering for an angle.

How does she feel about protecting the “Hispanic and Black jobs” from the “illegals”? With messaging not even trying to hide the dog whistle anymore I don’t see how he stands a chance outside of uneducated white poor people like Vance talked about before kissing the ring of his Führer.

This is people already preparing the grounds for defeat, and to save face when Trump is used against them for the next 4 years.

They’ll still keep discouraging dems to vote, or encouraging Republicans to start a civil war, but they can feel it’s likely going to be too much momentum for kamala

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
