Kamala’s 2024 Presidential Run

[HisArpy]

You know that the working class isn’t just white folks, right? Also, whatever weaknesses Harris and the Democrats have are due to the corporate neoliberalism exemplified by the Clintons and the Democratic Leadership Council. They are slowly waking up out of the dream state and brain fog created by that kind of elitist thinking, which still makes them better than a party that consistently goes out of its way to hurt working people of all races and both sexes.

Okay, what about this part, pointing out that the working class is multi-racial, is a racist statement? What part? Where is the racism in that statement, let alone racism against my own race?

Let's see, does anyone else here, besides Bargain Basement Karen, think that this is a racist statement, asserting that the working is multi-racial?

Every time you invoke color, regardless of reason, you're showing your racism and bigotry.

Or is that too hard for you to understand?

Exactly. They are ALL biased. CNN, ABC and the others are all mouth-organs for the Democrats and the extreme left. Breitbart is the only large mainstream conservative outlet, maybe along with OAN and a few smaller ones. There is not one single reliable new source you can trust NOT to be biased, or in the case of the Democrat-oriented propaganda outlets, lie outright.

Jeebus, what a screaming pile of poo, lol.

Kamala Harris is winning over Republicans from Trump, polls suggest

Vice President Kamala Harris is making unexpected gains among Republican voters, according to recent polls.

As the 2024 presidential race intensifies, multiple polls suggest a growing number of Republicans are shifting their support from former President Donald Trump to Harris. This surprising trend could reshape the election dynamics, giving Harris a potential edge in key battleground states as both candidates fight for the presidency.

According to the latest national New York Times/Siena College poll, conducted between September 29 and October 6, 9 percent of Republicans polled said they planned to support Harris in the November election, up from 5 percent last month.

The latest Cygnal poll, conducted between October 2 and 3, showed a similar trend. Nine percent of Republicans polled this month said they support the vice president, up from 3 percent last month.

Meanwhile, a poll conducted by Emerson College between September 29 and October 1 showed that 7 percent of Republicans were breaking for Harris, up from 5 percent at the beginning of September.

It’s increasingly clear to anyone with a conscience: Donald Trump is fundamentally unfit for the office of President, and frankly, for any position of public trust. Deep within the human psyche lies the desire for balance, decency, and integrity—not divisive lawfare or endless vitriol.

As Election Day draws near, Republicans are waking up to this fact. Trump, a convicted felon, represents chaos and corruption, not leadership or moral integrity. Americans will soon face a choice, and in good conscience, they must reject him, recognizing that the future of the country depends on restoring integrity and accountability in our leadership.

Harris releases ‘excellent’ medical report after scrutiny of Biden, Trump fitness


Vice President Harris released her medical history on Saturday, which said she is in “excellent health” and has the physical and mental resiliency required to be president, if elected in November.

The report was released from Joshua R. Simmons, the physician to the vice president. He said he has been her primary care physician for the last three and a half years.

Trump, 78, in August told CBS News he would “very gladly” release his medical records to the public, a month after the first assassination attempt on him in Butler, Pa., but since has not.

Hey! No big deal. He's a busy man. Besides, Trump's doctor was paid to sign his name on a health statement Trump provided him for public consumption: great stamina, 180 lbs. of toned athletic golfing ability at a pro level, having won several championships. He survived COVID-19 with hardly a minute missed from strenuous workloads; just look at that video of him at the White House afterward, ripping his mask off and looking stoic like Superman.

He survived multiple attempts to convict him, lies about his sexual prowess, and his ability to outwit and outmaneuver any judgments against him. Clearly, an agile man for his years. He outmaneuvers anyone, anywhere, anytime–just ask him or his kids, for that matter. No need for a written statement about his health. He recently clarified that he is 'basically an honest fellow', so he should get the benefit of the doubt.

You know that the working class isn’t just white folks, right?

Well, it is and it isn't. In 2016 the pundits talked a lot about the "white working class" -- and it did make sense to treat them separately, even though of course there are Americans of all colors who live by manual labor. A Marxist analysis oversimplifies the picture. A social class is not defined solely by its economic function. A social class is a social entity, within which people freely socialize, and freely marry, and have a distinct class culture and world-view. The white working class and the black working class are different slices of the same layer of the cake -- they do the same kinds of work, but they live in different neighborhoods, go to different churches, drink in different bars -- and they rarely marry across the racial divide. That is not the taboo it once was, but marriages begin with acquaintances, and most American workers' acquaintances are of their own race.

All this is relevant to the present discussion, because white workers VOTE differently from nonwhite workers. Because they have different class cultures and world-views.

Men, white men - does this ad appeal to you?

 

[Politruk]

Never mind his health vitals -- when is Trump going to release his TAX RETURNS?! They can't STILL be under audit -- that was his excuse in 2016!

In any case, tax returns should be public records, available to anybody who asks for them. Not just public officials' tax returns -- yours and mine and everybody's. Glass pockets.

Except, BY LAW, they aren't.

There are several reasons for this. ONE of which is called the 4th Amendment. ANOTHER of which is called the 5th Amendment.

So, you're insane and you cannot understand context. Gotcha. Just say so next time.

Lol, this from the guy insisting on "exact words" rather than "context."

You really need to STFU.

Neither of those has anything at all to do with privacy of tax records -- or of any other records government HAS.

Look, I asked you for what was racist in what I said, as in, what attacked or demeaned people on the basis of race. You said that my mentioning race at all was somehow racist, when clearly race has to be discussed at times, and that mere discussion of the phenomenon of race is not inherently racist. You seem to believe that, unless you ignore the existence of race as a phenomenon entirely, you're racist, which is just insane. Context matters. My exact words only mention race in an inclusive manner, not an exclusive one. How is that racist? Context matters. My exact words do not attack or demean people on the basis of race. Ergo, my words are not racist. Truly, you are grasping at straws here.

 

[HisArpy]

Here is where you, once again, show your lack of knowledge.

Under the 4th Amendment, you have a Right to Privacy in your "person PAPERS, houses, and EFFECTS." Your tax records are both your papers and effects because they contain the details of your wealth and holdings. Making that information public would violate your 4th Amendment Rights.

Under the 5th Amendment you cannot be compelled to testify against yourself. Any information contained in your tax records, if made public and available for the police to search through without a warrant (see 4th Amendment for this requirement), could be used against the taxpayer in a court of law. Since tax reporting is compulsory, making the private information into incriminating evidence would violate the 5th Amendment.

If you cannot see the problem, YOU are the problem.

You cannot speak to any political disagreement without invoking race or skin color or national origin in some manner. This is the problem. That you cannot SEE that this is the problem, is why YOU are the problem.



To illustrate; I do not see "Blacks" living in poverty. Instead I see "PEOPLE" living in poverty.

You only see their skin color. And then devise strategies though which to assert your dominance over them by giving them handouts for which they should be thankful to you for because of your skin color.

Which makes you a racist and a bigot.

No court would take that argument seriously. Because that's all information GOVERNMENT HAS. Those amendments are to keep things secret from GOVERNMENT, not from the PUBLIC. If government can lawfully obtain certain information, there is no constitutional reason why it cannot publish that information.

You are no lawyer.

Okay, whatever, dude. You're reading far too much into me. I'm not a political machine person. I'm not a racist. I don't view people as opportunities for bribery. I'm not a far leftist or a MAGA rightist or whatever else people choose to read into me. I am a 47 year old, autistic, bisexual, polyamorous husband, stepfather, and grandfather who writes smut in my spare time. I'm a registered independent who is conservative on guns, pro-Israel, moderate on immigration, and liberal on gay and transgender rights, pro-choice, in favor of some health care reform that improves on ACA, seeks to reform both student loans and wasteful university administration as well as tuition, believes in UBI, but also think that minimum wage needs to be localized (due to different costs of living in different locales) and indexed to inflation. I don't support Kamala's proposed tax on unrealized capital gains, but I like a lot of her other policies. I support capital punishment in principle, but I want to prevent abuses as much as possible, I oppose the War on Drugs and support marijuana legalization, I favor the full decriminalization of sex work, I oppose outsourcing and want to rebuild the industrial base, I want to break up big banks and tech firms, I want to help small farms and small firms, I want better regulation of food and drugs to stop Frankenfoods and opioids, I want to make it easier for people starting families to buy homes (especially those starter homes), I want to end permanent alimony and paternity fraud, I want to encouraged shared parenting, I want to make it easier to adopt children, I support IVF, and I want to end mass incarceration. I'm opposed to most of the wars that we've had, but I'm seeing more hopeful results from the Ukraine operation, in spite of the graft and corruption, so that makes it easier to back that particular operation.

 

[HisArpy]

Haha!

Now do Hunter Biden and his laptop.

Hunter Biden gave his property to the repair store and then didn't return to claim it or pay for it.

Under the law, abandoned property can be sold to reclaim any costs incurred. There's even a TV show about this that explains hows it's done.

And of course, you weren't aware of any of that before you opened your yap.

Further, crimes discovered by a neutral 3rd party can be disclosed to the police without liability. This is what happens when someone turns their camera film into a film processing company and they discover (lit banned word) images on the film.

This is what the computer store did. And the FBI hid that information and sat on it. For which the ONLY way to remedy a corrupt government is to bring the information into the sunlight as a whistleblower. Which is also what the computer store did.

And yet you seem to think Hunter somehow is the good guy.

Why is that?
