Political Discussion
I actually do think the "jokes" about Latinos and Puerto Rico could actually sway votes. It's easy if those comments are not about you or your home to say "whatever, it was just a joke and Trump didn't actually say it." If those comments are ABOUT you, or about where you grew up or where your family lives, it's not possible to do that. I think there are Puerto Ricans and Latinos who were planning to vote for Trump for economic reasons who will now change to Harris or not vote because they are too personally offended. Those jokes were really egregious. I think they are enough to sway votes. |
What I think is a danger sign for Harris is that the billionaire owners each had a different reason for not endorsing her. It’s not that they both were afraid of Trump. |
Agreed. People pay attention to stuff like this. Would you vote for someone who has allowed his surrogates and supporters to say hateful things about your race or ethnicity or gender in a huge stage? Most people would not. |
the editorial boards of both of those papers endorsed Harris for anyone that thinks that is useful information . Everybody knows it even though the endorsements got squashed by the billionaires. |
The jokes were enough to get many Latinos and Hispanics off the sidelines. I have a buddy who hates “the Uniparty” was not planning to vote out of protest. But he’s very proud of his 5th generation Mexican-California heritage. The Trump rally pushed him to openly supporting Trump on social media. You don’t bash someone’s cultural heritage like that in a national political rally. |
No one who is basing their vote off of economic reasons will change their vote because a guest speaker said something stupid and racist. Only privileged people think this way. |
Fixed. |
Economic reasons? Unless you want the economy to go down the toilet, do not choose trump. |
It’s sad that you have nothing to be proud of. |

Harris will win. Men keep underestimating women's ability to unite. Women's support for Harris in my opinion is undercounted by the polls.
Trump can also win. We will find out in a week. |
No. She is extremely qualified. She was Attorney General of California, a US Senator, and is Vice President of the United States. What more could she do to be qualified? She is running against a bankrupt real estate mogul/reality TV star who had zero political experience until he created this MAGA character to appeal to the country’s racist/misogynist deplorables and blackmailed the Rs into electing him President of the United States. |
They are grasping at straws. Hitler didn’t work so this is the new pivot |
| DC and the White House are being fortified. Something’s up for sure |
that got people killed. Then blamed the local Muslim population for rioting about a crappy movie mocking Mohammed. I don’t think she should be in jail. However, No one involved in that catastrophe should be able to work in the govt again. |
| DC is being fortified for Kamala rally today |
