US Election & Presidency

Is it possible that it makes a woman in White House more of a reality?
I do think Biden did the right thing, but tbh it is going to take a miracle to overturn Trump. When we look at our own political system and the look at ours I am thankful for the way we vote.

All we need now is Trump to suffer something of a meltdown and then the Republicans force HIM to stand down and make it more even and fair contest.

I think she beats him and beats him comftable

now trump is the old man talking bollocks

Shes always more likely to bring in the Black and Latino vote back that were not proberly going to turn out for Biden. She has also been outspoken on Gaza as well. Trumps policys of deporting 15 million people and abortion bans will not go down well

On issues alone, I think Harris:

+ Loses on ECONOMY because inflation is number one priority, remains stubbornly high, and Biden/Harris get tagged with it.

+ Wins on REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS, which is most important issue to women in swing states.

+ Loses on FOREIGN POLICY for purely misogynistic / sexist reasons, but also because she gets tagged with Afghan withdrawal disaster, and “soft on terrorism” bias.

+ Loses on IMMIGRATION and BORDER issues, because this was in her portfolio as VP and nothing much was accomplished.

+ Even split on what were once social issues (HEALTH, EDUCATION, RACE, etc.) because these have all mutated into culture war issues and she considered very, very liberal.

+ Even split on CRIME. Democrats are always tagged as soft on crime, but she was a pretty hard-nosed prosecutor, so it’s hard to pin that on her.


Yes, she is ceiling-smashing candidate who may bring many ethnic minority voters and women back into the tent. She may re-energise young voters, but those lazy bastards never vote in large enough numbers anyway. But she could just as easily alienate the white, male, working class voter that is so important to the rust belt swing states.

Sitting here today, I’d still put my money on Trump. It’s his to lose.

^Excellent summation you did there.

I would just add the positive effect, that surviving an assassination, had on Trump's campaign. Also, the Democrats, look to have left it to late, to mount a serious challenge to Trump.

Thank fuck he's finally seen sense.

Trump will still win but maybe it will limit the damage in the house and Senate.

The Democrats biggest mistake was not putting Biden up 8 years ago instead of Clinton.

Doesnt matter because with the presidency and SCOTUS he can do what the fuck he likes with House and Senate being able to do fuck all about it

But, if she picks the correct running mate for vice president those white, working class men in the rust belt states could be persuaded in enough numbers to flip them to the democrats?
