Your post is a surprise to me because in general I have found “European” people to understand the American political system better than you seem to. |
Yep. And it was the best thing that came out of Clinton's speech. I don't know why more people are not talking about this. The Democrats should be ramming this information over and over on the airways. People have to hear things seven times before it begins to sink in. |
Because Dems actually care about Gaza. They are just trying to three an extremely delicate needle to keep the party unified for the election. But some Dem voters want more on Gaza and think protesting can get concessions, like. Speaker at the Convention. Understandable. But not helpful to getting Harris elected. And if she isn’t elected, Gaza will be wiped off the map. So why no protestors at the R convention? Because everyone knows Trump doesn’t give a flying flip about Gaza and there are zero concession to be had. And Rs would be fine with protestors, who they would pain as violent leftists. In related news, Rs would also be fine with LGBTQ protestors at their convention. Dems would actually care. The problem is the Gaza protestors are like BERNIE bros. They want all their demands met now for they re sitting in a corner and sulking. That they don’t get that compromise is needed to reach a larger goal. They refuse to be team players, then yell when they aren't in the starting lineup. |
Don’t take the bait of obvious Republicans. It’s not even fragile unity, the GOP just hates the fact that the Democratic Party is a unified force. If Trump gets back in, that’s it for Gaza and the Palestinians (and for Ukraine). That’s it for Muslims in America in general, too, actually. |
That stat was amazing. 50 million jobs under Democrats to 1 million jobs under Republicans. FIFTY to ONE. Even if you just think Democrats got lucky, with a 50 year run of luck like that, why would you bet against them? |
Because the airways are owned by people and corporations who want the GOP back. |
Making room for one prominent Palestinian-American speaker would have been the right thing to do. Instead, the DNC powerbrokers decided that bending over backwards to demonstrate their allegiance to Israel was the expedient thing to do. Maybe it is from a polling perspective but Harris has lost my vote. If she’s too much of a coward to insist on what’s right at a convention, she certainly don’t have the courage to stand up to Netanyahu and the Jewish lobby if elected. |
How did he give them what they wanted? He placed more sanctions on Russia and tarriffs on China. Gave them what they wanted? How? Tellingly, China didn’t encroach on Taiwan and Russia didn’t encroach on Ukraine when Trump was in office. Putin invaded Crimea in 2014. Stopped then returned when Pres Biden came to office. The rest of the world doesn’t fear or respect Democrat leaders or policy. They think they are beta males and weak. They think Trump is strong and intimidating because he’s unpredictable |
Anyone who talks about beta males is automatically marked as an incel. |
You are quite possibly a troll, but if not, empowering Trump is a horrible idea for Palestine; and you are a bad person for harming Palestinians in that way. |
The absolutely most powerful part of last night was the footage from January 6. And replaying Trump's egging on the rioters. And reminding people that several died in the riot.
This should be run on a loop until election day. If you wanna support MAGA, then you need to be reminded that you support treason. Violence. And actions that go against democracy. PERIOD. |
