US political crisis

[goatwack]

Nigel 'Anything But Clacton' Farage casually referring to Kamala Harris as a 'black African woman'.

Harris herself was born in California (so she's, y'know, American), her mum is a Tamil Indian and her dad is Jamaican.

Still, let's not allow some facts to get in the way of Nigel 'I'm Over Here Donald!' Farage's ignorance and racism.

Well, what you'll find is that many will identify as African American, even if born in America, whilst others will identify as black.

I am black, and within that, I am a Jamaican-born, African American man, but I call myself and identify as black," he explained."I have had to take on different identities at different periods of my life. But my blackness is the overarching umbrella of those different flavors of my identity."

LaBeach's experience is just one example of the complexities of black identities, especially in the United States. Some people originally from other countries who live in the U.S. accept African American because of its cultural and historical roots in the black experience that is specific to this country. "African American technically isn't even what I am," he said. "I'm a Jamaican-born black person but I have taken on this label of African American because of where I live

- Darien LaBeach, the director of diversity, equity, and inclusion strategy at the digital marketing agency Huge Inc.

The media also put her in the public eye whenever she set milestones, e.g second Black woman to enter the Senate, with her other Asian heritage only openly discussed in detail fairly recently.

It matters little how Farage phrased it, as it would have come under scrutiny for highlighting her race regardless, the very thing the Democrats fear if not putting her forward as nominee, lest they also get called RaCiSt!

Harris consistently polls worse than Biden and is universally unpopular, even amongst Democrats. Yet her competency won't be brought into question as the Democrats are scared of not choosing her based on her ethnicity, something Farage mentioned, and would have been pilloried for, irrespective of how he phrased it

Farage is many things but stupid is not one of them, he knew what he was doing when he used the specific words 'black African woman', it's a dog-whistle to a certain sort of person.

He certainly seems to be staying true to his proclamation that there's a 'far more important election going on in the US' in reference to the UK election, only slightly undermined by his decision to stand in the UK election after all. I'm starting to wonder if he could even find Clacton on a map.

Harris isn't massively popular at the moment it's true, but she's not really had much of a profile over the years of the Biden presidency, and that's all going to change now, I suspect we'll start to see the polling shift once she gets to put herself out there.

Moreover having a woman at the top of the ticket, in the face of a sustained assault on a woman's ability to decide for her own body, and her reproductive rights, by the Republicans and especially Vance*, could be a powerful force.

* Who is of the opinion that a woman should be forced to carry a pregnancy to term even in cases of incest and rape.

 

[thr0b]

Why did he need to highlight her race? I mean, not “her race”, specifically, as she’s not African. It’s a bit short-sighted of him. Blinkered, even.

It also does a dis-service to her and her role, suggesting she may only be there because of her ethnicity. She’s certainly got a lot of support from the party, though partly this may be because a lot of potential alternatives don’t want to throw their hat in the ring at this stage for fear of tainting a planned “clean” run in four years if she doesn’t get in.

And on the flip side, the Republicans are complaining that she’s been the real power behind the throne and has been propping up Biden’s largely successful presidency, while also suggesting she’s unqualified and shouldn’t be there.

Certainly not me.

 

[DreamRJ]

I am happy Biden stepped down - I think a lot has been calling for it for a long time but the last few months you can clearly see how frail he has become so it was only a matter of time when he did step down.

I do not agree that he should also resign as president. Only 4 months now until the election and 6 months until the new president gets sworn in.

I have not really paid close attention to Kamala Harris, I saw some campaign rallies that she did and I do see her as a strong contender and if the democrats do decide to go with Harris at the DNC on 18th-22nd August then the debates she will have with the criminal Trump will shine through because she has worked in law in the past.

So it will get very heated and entertaining. All the nasty words coming out of trumps mouth on his disgusting social media site "Truth" are just him behind the scenes scared of that fact. Calling her not fit and unqualified lmao.

I mean the only person more unqualified is himself. Prove my point with this thing he said during covid! "Can we inject bleach into the veins?

That sums up how dumb he actually is, he is a crook, racist, homophobe to name a few.

To end my statements I will say this, if Trump does win the next election and gets re-elected we all have to be very worried not just the people in the USA but all over the world. I have heard him say that he will try and speak to Putin etc. (him getting into bed with Putin will cause a civil war inside USA) - But another thing that would also cause a civil war is if he takes USA out of NATO and also if he dares change the 22nd amendment or repeal it altogether.

But even that might be tough for him to do if he the republicans do not win majority in both houses firstly. I do not know if he can do presidential executive orders that repeal an amendment. Only once has an amendment been repealed and that was the 18th that was then replaced with the 21st amendment.

But I am very scared for everyone if Trump gets back in. The far right movement is growing and it is getting very very scary indeed.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Trump seems to be taking it all well.

With Biden gone, focus can shift to Trump and the fact he's not exactly looking sharp. He gets names and places wrong all the time, his speeches are often rambling incoherent nonsense with bizarre references to Hannibal Lecter and all sorts of other crap, his running mate is a damp squib with appalling views on many issues (especially women's rights), and his policy pitch is dreadful.

I had resigned myself to Biden being too stubborn to step aside, and basically handing a win to the horror show that is Trump. Now with Harris leading the ticket, I'm daring to hope that there's a chance she can win.

The US probably needs a boring guy like Starmer as President, but there is an inherent need for razzmatazz and drama.

Nigel's analysis, regardless of wording, is correct, the optics of replacing Harris with a white man or woman who has a better chance won't sit well with their base.

Does anyone really believe David Lammy is the best person to be foreign secretary out of the 400 odd labour MPs, it's optics for a left wing party, pure and simple.

For some reason the Tories started playing the same game, but to a greater extreme, and look how it ended for them.

Trump fits the US image, the alpha who believes in american supremacy, we're the world's leading nation and that's how it's going to be, even folk in run-down parts believe that to be the case.

Highly unlikely Harris getting the better of Donald with logical arguments in the debate will change those requirements, basically who looks the most presidential.

You must have been watching a different Trump and Harris to me!

Clearly Trump has a base, some of whom are apparently prepared to strap sanitary pads to their ears to demonstrate their devotion to the beloved leader (I mean, really, come on, that's properly weird, right?), but once you get past the..... madness (I'm struggling to find a different word for it), Trump does not look good as a candidate. You've seen his speeches recently? He's not the same Trump as 2020, or 2016.

Biden was so bad, that he deflected attention away from Trump, now we've got Harris in the frame who is much younger, sharp as a tack, and ready for the fight. Trump does not look good in that framing, spouting the same old hateful, lying, rambling, poisonous shite he always has, but now with added doddery old man incoherence.

At the very least it's going to be an actual contest now.

 

[thr0b]

What is astonishing is that the race is so close. Whichever way you look at it, the choice was between a convicted felon, an accused rapist with multiple ongoing cases hanging over him, and a doddery old man on the other side. And it was still 51/49 to the criminal.

That’s a real failure of a political system, because if the moderate Republicans are still voting that way even though they don’t like or support the direction their party is travelling, it’s because they’ve got nowhere else to go.

I was watching an interview with a moderate republican on Colbert last week, and he said at an RNC around 2020 he realised it wasn’t the Republican Party anymore. It’s a Trump Cult.

And if you’re not in that cult, you need to get off that train, because it’s not taking you where you want to go.

(Obviously, there is a 3rd party candidate who could feasibly take some of Trump’s votes, he’s a nut, but a nut in a different way. And not popular enough to have any meaningful impact.)

'Sharp as a tack' she's renowned for gassing on and not making much sense.

Trump embodies something, it's an inherent quality, you can't train or study to acquire it.

Biden had something intrinsic that set him apart from rivals, was quite outspoken and conservative for a dem in his earlier yrs, being combative is part of it.

It's shocking though they made him president when he was clearly way past his best, and suffering the effects of dementia, it's another bizarre event of our times.

So on that score, perhaps Kamala will surprise us all.

Just to add to my post above, I'm also wearing an ear bandage in respect and tribute to Don

Tbf it was a huge deal, there has been press coverage but it's toned down to what could easily have transpired (all in high definition) which would've been horrific, but also strangely quite in line with the mad times we're in (Hopefully moving out of).

Yeah, they definitely screwed up. Though I doubt there’s any conspiracy there. Because if there was a conspiracy, it’d have been successfully executed.

Again, a perfect time for them to look at their gun laws - one of their own nearly got killed because ludicrously powerful weapons are available to the general public - yet they won’t.

Don’t know if it is even possible , and know it’s extremely unlikely, but I would love to see Harris pick a non democrat like Liz Cheney or Adam Kinzinger as her running mate , what a poke in the eye for the Trumpster that a dirty Dem was trying to bring a potentially unifying running mate to her campaign.

Yeah, I believe it would be possible. Those in the cult refer to Cheney and Kinziger as Republicans in Name Only, meaning they’re not Trump loyalists.

There’s a lot of disaffected Republicans who vote out of party loyalty only, and can’t quite accept that the party they’ve been in for life changed half a decade ago to something very, very different.

It’s a quirk of their bizarre two party system. Even more odd is that the Dem are seen as left wing, whereas they’re closer to the Tories over here on a lot of issues than our centre/left parties.

Even if there were a ban or much tighter restrictions so this would-be assassin couldn't easily acquire a weapon, there'd still be a black market, and the old fashioned sniper rifle used by deer hunters/farmers etc...Canada also has a high gun ownership iirc, so wouldn't be hard to smuggle in weapons across the border. Ditto the Southern border.

So a person committed to the act would probably find a way.

Other countries have high gun ownership with far fewer shooter incidents, so there's something wrong in the conditions of society.

 

[goatwack]

Looks like ol' Kim's biting the bullet later too after her non-answer four-hour fiesta yesterday.

Clearly not simply a gun ownership problem if the greatest and $3 billion-funded Secret Service had simply done their job at multiple junctures, instead of letting an amateur have a free pop at the (soon-to-be) Pres.

Yet ten days later they decide she just has to go, when in reality she should've been sacked on the spot. I imagine the Bidens being very disappointed in her performance!

 

[ChopleyIOM]

I think Trump is in trouble.

The senior citizen might start applying pressure on RFK Jr. to drop out of the race and hope his supporters flipflop over to him.

I'd really not get carried away with polls, as recent history tends to show. Not sure why people tend to somehow think it has any bearing in close-fought campaigns.

One thing we can be certain of is that the Democrats have found some wind in their sails, and Harris' impact will most definitely make November edge-of-your-seat stuff!

It all depends when they're conducted. I guess polls from just after the shooting will be leaning a little more towards Trump than Biden and right now Harris is the proverbial "shiny new toy".

 

[amandajm]

Harris is nigh on 2/1 on the exchanges.

Like printing money I tell you, if you like a poll.

Not for me thanks.

 

[lockinlove]

The polls had Trump getting destroyed in 2016. How accurate were they?

Who was supposed to win the 2016 election?


Clinton led in almost every nationwide and swing-state poll, with some predictive models giving Clinton over a 90 percent chance of winning. On Election Day, Trump over-performed his polls, winning several key swing states.

Polls are mostly used to try and sway the public to not go out and vote and for a specific candidate. Also, this day and age it's very very easy for 1 person to manipulate an entire poll. Switching IP addresses/using VPN and voting on a poll over and over again.

Telephone polls? Again, they usually are heavily favored in a specific area that is either blue or red.

Political Polls are total garbage.

I also see some really uninformed posts in here by what seem to be mainstream sheep. The reason why nobody cares about Trumps charges/convinctions is because they know they are mostly fake bias garbage. The only people who actually believe in those charges are mostly brainwashed (not very intelligent) mainstream watchers (the minority these days)

 

[Webzcas]

Harris raising $100m within 24 hours of Biden stepping down. Mind blowing numbers there. The latest Ipsos poll puts her 4 pts ahead of Trump.

I think when the first poll of polls in September are released we will get a clearer picture as to who the favourite is.

Yeah but what will also matter is her favourability, will she be more favourable than the criminal Trump? That is the question.

 

[ollygarch]

$100m for Harris tells you a lot about how corrupt the US political system is, individuals and businesses 'investing' for future favours. Under Trump, assuming he wins, the free world will have three enemy totalitarian regimes China, Russia, USA + plus two tag alongs North Korea, and Iran.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

The sight of Republicans losing their shit on outlets such as Fox News gives you a pretty good idea of what they think the impact of Harris replacing Biden on the ticket is. (And Trump is going properly unhinged, like, even more than usual, over on Truth Social or whatever it's called.)

Trump or Harris, it's a tough choice

Yes I knew the context of it, basic anti-trans hysteria and hateful rhetoric, if you look at the actual numbers the idea that women's sport is being 'taken over' is a nonsense.

Anyway, anti-trans intolerance and the politics of division worked out really well for the Tories in the general election here, let's hope it has the same effect on Trump.

I'm not saying it isn't an issue at all, in the context of competitive sports it's something that's going to need some eyes on it, but the idea it's a major electoral issue is rather fanciful. It just makes Trump look like exactly what he is, a rancid, hateful old man, compared with the optimism and warmth of Harris.

I suspect the American people might go for the latter.

Yes, it's completely not a thing, and anyone that points out the blatant gaslightery and subjugation of women in their own sports is of course a hateful istphobe.

More likely is that those that pretend it's a non-issue are actually being mysoginists, but hey-ho.

Far better would surely be to have a separate category for trans athletes, would it not. We're discussing women's sports and biological men's incursion into it, not people wishing to live their lives as their preferred gender. Try not to conflate different issues into a one-size-fits-all narrative, eh old chap?

Anyway, here's Friday's results of the elite 'women's' Marymore Grand Prix, with all three podium places going to biological males, with the only prerequisite for entry being self-identification!

I literally just said above it's an issue that's going to need some eyes on it, and a resolution, but the idea that it's worthy of a presidential candidate mocking what is already one of the most marginalised minorities in society in such a performatively cruel manner - is for the birds.

I remember 30p Lee 'Multiple Defector' Anderson saying that the 2024 GE in the UK would be fought on culture wars, and look how that panned out for the Tories. (Not that he's a Tory now of course, it's hard to keep up with him.)

Are you telling me that Starmer took no account of 'culture war' issues?

The Tories were incapable of fighting on any issue, that was the reality.

The majority of people reject the idea biological men, who want to be female, must be allowed to compete in female sports and use their personal facilities.

That's never going to change, forget it. Trump is just voicing that reality, if politicians forbade themselves from doing so it would be a ridiculous state of affairs.

This is true, a majority of people do think it's wrong and/or unfair for those born biologically as men, who went through puberty as males, to be competing in women's sport.

I include myself in that list, I can see how and why it's problematic, and it's an issue that needs some thought and a means of resolution. I'm sure it's not beyond the reach of human intelligence to work it out, whilst also treating everyone with respect and as human beings.

What I'm taking issue with here is specifically how Trump went about it, which is cruel, demeaning, mocking, divisive, and hateful - but since that's his entire modus operandi it's exactly what I'd expect.

But if you take his opponent, KH, she won't even mention this issue, and that it cannot remain as it is.

To me the lack of awareness by these trans sports people is bizarre, surely they realise they're not remotely competing on an even playing field, yet stand there as pleased as punch holding their awards and trophies.

Any poster putting up snippets of contextless vids, in support of someone they've not mentioned until 2 days ago, being the candidate of all candidates to take on a juggernault like Trump, ain't gonna have the political impact they'd like to imagine.

In fact, it's an excellent example of how we get a Trump in charge of the Western world.

It's how we get a Farage putting a £5trillon a year trading block's nose out of joint.

How successive UK govt's shaft the poor, bust unions, wreck socialist endeavours like the NHS. Prioritise others over us. How Bush & Blair like war criminals attack whole countries and continents, move some of the survivors next door to my family. Oh yeah they hate us alright.

Labour, Tory, Dem, Repub. Same. Lame. Video Game level trolling of us, with childlike banter, just like in this forum. They call it political discourse.

So I should Trust Kamala who? Biden? What, & hate Trump 'cos he's a criminal since last week, now he's 289 years old and decided to run and threatened to drain the swamp? Trust Pfizer, cos they ain't criminals no? Anything else I should swallow boss?

gftfooh

But if you take his opponent, KH, she won't even mention this issue, and that it cannot remain as it is.

To me the lack of awareness by these trans sports people is bizarre, surely they realise they're not remotely competing on an even playing field, yet stand there as pleased as punch holding their awards and trophies.

She will get slaughtered.

There is video footage of her saying she wants complete open borders and she wants the tax payers to pay for their entire medical.

Oh and then there is her record on criminal prosecutions.

She treated her staff like total garbage.

Pushed for kids to be in jail for missing school.

She has zero path to the whitehouse. Zero. The polls are your typical liberal run media propaganda to try and sway the public. Didnt work in 2016 and wont work again. She is just too far behind and unfavorable.

People are more pissed than every before that liberal policies are destroying their finances. So there's that too

Any poster putting up snippets of contextless vids, in support of someone they've not mentioned until 2 days ago, being the candidate of all candidates to take on a juggernault like Trump, ain't gonna have the political impact they'd like to imagine.

In fact, it's an excellent example of how we get a Trump in charge of the Western world.

It's how we get a Farage putting a £5trillon a year trading block's nose out of joint.

These are the blind faithful democrats who will vote regardless of the person. Out of ego and years of drinking contaminated water (lol), and being brainwashed by garbage media like the BBC

Its a much smaller amount now since the media has been exposed but sadly you still have these beta's who cant make an informed decision by themselves. Its installed in them. Weakness. Look at a couple of them, instead of being outside and living life, they are here constantly posting the same sad garbage. Brainwashed. Wasting their life on politicians. It's sad and frustrating to see but some people are Alpha's and some are just....weak.

Umm - she's already in the White House. She's the Vice President.
