The Kamala Devi Harris Score Card

I just felt like making a topic to find out what the score is.

 

Yuck. I hate this lady. Never get my vote ever.

Guess we don't get a primary, this nasty thing just gets appointed by the party like CCP does or the soviets did.

 

I have zero love for her either. I won't be voting for the cackling hammerhead.

 

I'm from the uk so I am curious about your choices for the election.

One of you hates her and the other dislikes her. Has she any good points? Is Trump a better person to vote for?
(you expressed your views about her but nothing about DT so that's why I asked it that way)

 

A Democrat who will be tough on crime. The woman's a goddamn unicorn I tell ya.

 

Not picking on you Princess but I'd love to know these things, if someone may respond.....

Is crime down under Biden?
Was crime down under Trump when he was President?

Even if crime locally comes down, (I'm sure most would want that) would any American prioritise that over global stability, where, if there's global conflict the US will be one of many countries paying for it, in USD and nationals lives?

 

I support a huge reduction in America's foreign policy. There is so much to fix here that it is irresponsible to our own populace to try and exert our influence abroad. I think non-American Westerners who look to us as some kind of beacon of hope or something would be shocked to see the gritty realities of life in America. We export the idea of America all over the world in order to maintain influence, but if you saw how the average American lives, you'd see a very different version of America.

I'm probably the wrong American to ask about our role in world stability and all.

 

I like that response. Thank you.
I believe there's much to fix in the US. I speak to US citizens daily and they explain so much about homelessness in the west coast states and infrastructure crumbling everywhere. Other stuff too. Medical issues as well.
(Strange, though, that none has explained consistently, the difference between medicare and medicade - I digress)

We (other non-American Westerners [I like that description] ), don't look to the USA as some sort of beacon.
Britain and fellow Europeans fought the fight yet asked the US for help, which they turned down.
Sound familiar?

WWII is an example, where the US only became involved after Pearl Harbour.
That shortened the war, prevented the loss of thousands (if not millions) more lives and prevented a despot dominating Europe.

One reason the USA got involved was because the Govt could no longer deny the reality - the war was not somewhere way yonder so it didn't matter - it was on US soil.
It was now killing US personnel and if the US didn't get involved, the costs to the US would be much much higher in the long term.

I believe it's similar now so the US needs to look outward.
After all, when it needed to respond after Pearl Harbour, it needed Europe to work with them - and it did, without hesitation.

That's why (in coalition) the US has been involved in stuff since.

Now, with Bellendistan and its president sabre rattling, we are really potentially at a similar stage to 1936-1938 just before WWII.
So the US needs to be globally involved and to support the efforts by Ukraine before outbreak of something much bigger.

Think of the Hoover dam.
Analogically, that's Ukraine right now and the west (including the US) is downstream of it.
Were Ukraine to lose because the West didn't support them, your local issues will become of lesser importance when your country gets dragged into a that that it could have helped prevent thus saving loads of money and lives.

So I appreciate domestic issues are important, of course they are.
But the reality is that the choice of President is crucial to the Western world and if it opts out of its role, it will bear much much higher costs, both financial and lives, later.

imo.

 

"The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws."

The only tool they got is hammers...

America doesn't have a crime problem. It has an excessive government up our ass problem. But maybe if the schools didn't suck Kamala the cop wouldn't need to threaten parents with government kidnapping.

 

We could be surprised by an avalanche of urban women votes, many who are educated and sophisticated. I understand that the DNC wants to open the DNC Convention to other candidates. If K. Harris is the candidate, then, like iI stated. we could be surprised.

 

Thanks for that MeAgain.
I wonder if the variation on explanation by Americans I've spoken to is because Medicaid is state level stuff and so, it may be different from state to state.

As I understand it, the US administration was asked for help in WWII but wasn't interested.
Then, when Pearl Harbour was bombed in 1941, I think, that tone changed when the Administration then knew what being under attack felt like.
And so, they joined the effort in 1941 and along with the European countries the war eventually was brought to an end.
(I've no knowledge of the 'reasoning' for Japan to attack PH but I recall from school days that the warning to the US arrived after the attack).

Anyhoo, per WWII, I hope the US doesn't delay its involvement because, whilst the landmass of the US is far from others, it's not in isolation.
And if Bellendistan and others grow to become dominant, that won't serve the US well, in the longer term and will affect the ordinary day-to-day lives of US citizens.
I think it's in the interest of the US to be involved on a global stage, working with other nations to maintain at least some sense of stability.

One last point;
For any leader to say he can end conflict (eg Ukraine) in 24hrs is absolute BS unless it will disadvantage his own people or national position.
Why do I say that?
Because whether a conflict can be resolved in 24hrs or at all, requires the approval of the other side, Russia. The only way such a (24hr) guarantee can be stated truthfully is if Russia would be given all that it wants. An absolute concession, the handing of victory to Putin.
Has American really crumbled to that level?
I hope not. That actually could pave the way for US states to be invaded or other European countries.

 

Who needs those pesky primary voters to pick a candidate when the party bosses are saving democracy !

 

Ya great gangs of men from the government kidnapping parents at gunpoint and putting them in shackles in front of the children before hauling them off to one of their cage complexes. Talk about the dark ages.




Of course the traumatized children will be sent to counseling afterwards by child 'protective' services, labelled with some bullshit diagnosis so the schools get extra money before the piles of and piles of life destroying brain damaging psychiatric drugs are thrown at them.

Agreed.

I can't say what's going on in Trumps head, in terms of thought or knowledge.
I can say that his actions are not those of someone who will maintain or strengthen global stability.

Yep, as I said earlier, he'll give everything Putin wants. That's the only way he can try to guarantee ending Ukraine war in 24hrs.
Yet even that won't end it. The war won't go away.
It'll just create another war involving other former USSR states, those which are very concerned that they are next on Putin's agenda.
That spiral will put up the costs (financial and lives) to other countries in helping and could put Trump and Russia together as common enemies of Europe.
