Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Will it really? Is there someone out there who didn't know until this event that he was a bigot and an awful person and is now going to change their mind?
Yeah, the "political suicide" bit is immediately questionable. The fact that this race is even close has destroyed any remaining shreds of faith in my fellow Americans.
Trump could go up in stage and rant about black people, using the hard-R; he could repeat the sexist comments he's already famous for; he could probably even criticize Christians - none of it would move the needle. People voting for him aren't doing so because they think he's a great person; they're doing it because they hate liberals.
I think it would actually get him more votes.
I think they are voting for him because of the things they believe he is or stands for. Let's assume some people cherish kindness, then these people believe he is kind even if he's obviously not. They want to believe.
They are analogously not voting for Harris out of what they believe she stands for: destroying their values, installing communism, surrendering to the Soviet Union, all on day one. Because they want to believe.
This is also the thing I think proves that these people are stupid, although I really try to not assume these things.
Kamala is so much not a communist, she'd be considered economically right-wing in most of the EU.
8 years later, still riding that click-generating wave of “can you believe how racist this guy is?!”
Exactly my reaction.
Making people aware might give more of a push to people who otherwise wouldn't vote. It isn't about changing the minds of maga shits.
The first half of this skit will explain , like it is which multi-millionaire who does not respect you do you choose? The one lying that it is all fair, or the crybaby who says its not. Even with a Billion dollars Harris does not feel safe, and Trump has ro go so see Elon (who needs to be culled already). In all this voting third party is the crazy choice because?
Holy nonsense false equivalence, Batman. Harris's net worth (with her husband), is about $8 million, much of which comes from book sales, pensions, and the value of her home. I'll take the millionaire who earned her assets via public service, investment, and work over the supposed billionaire who earned his assets via loans from daddy, grift, fraud, lies, and a history of refusal to pay bills.
Because you started with a ridiculous lie to justify it, maybe? Or, alternatively, because it's stupid and self-defeating.
And the average american is a multi-millionaire? Like holy batman thats alot of words to say she can not relate to regular ppl. As in my Chapelle clip, one candidate embraces it, the other denies it. Guess who looks like an untrustworthy liar.
When has she ever denied being wealthy?
Ladies and gentleman, this is called a pivot, because I made an accusation and somehow @BlackBeard has something entirely different to take attention and ignore what I said.
Your exact words.
Ummms if you agreeing with me you are saying “Both Sides” then and well ofc agreeing with me.
You said Harris denies her wealth. When did that happen?
You're dodging a question you were called out on and don't have an answer for.
Since you think its a dodge, even going by other guy’s numbers she is worth 20x the average American Source. By the median, shes worth 100x more than the average American Source. Your response?
My response is that you dodged again. To be clear, the question you dodged was:
Thats a weird take, I said Trump embraced being rich and corrupt, and you somehow understood that to mean that I said Harris denies her wealth. No trolling, please tell me what I could have done to communicate better.
That's half of what you said:
Does she admit she takes money from questionable sources? I last saw Harris dancing with the (almost? Not sure) Billionaire Beyonce, asking for more money. Literally has 10000x the worth of the average American, in cash at that, for essentially an ad campaign but dig deep in your pocket to support her. As I said previously, I said “deny” not about her wealth, but that she obtained such wealth through questionable means.
The average net worth of a single person in their 60s (kamala's age) is about 1.5 million.
So take 8 million for Kamala and husband and 3 million for an average couple in the same age group.
I think that's significantly closer than any of the gop or third party candidates.
Besides, it's not like Kamala is trying to make it a secret (unlike trump, who consistently refuses to release documents related to wealth and assets)
Yep, that's the only difference between the two candidates. You nailed it!
(This is sarcasm. You're an idiot.)
Because Jill Stein is also a multimillionaire.
