    I think this is as strong as could reasonably be expected from Harris. It’s also brilliant politically. People who wouldn’t have voted for Biden because of Palestine may be willing to go with Harris.

    In addition to age, this makes two of Biden’s biggest drawbacks crushed in one week. I like it.

    She can’t even say more than 3 words without looking down at her teleprompter. It’s quite astonishing watching it.

      What is the purpose of this comment?

      Are you saying that because she uses a teleprompter too much she isn’t going to be a good president?

      Are you saying this because you are equating her use of a teleprompter to her intelligence?

      Are you saying this with the intention of getting people to not vote for her because she isn’t perfect ?

      Or are you just making a random statement about her?

      I hate to break it to you, but the teleprompter bit died with Obama. Trump and Biden both use them, too, they just got better at hiding them.

          So, what? Why would anyone hide that they use teleprompters? This isn’t 100 years ago when everyone still carried their speeches on paper. Trump even famously threw a tantrum when his stopped working recently.

          It’s even worse when he babbles incoherently for hours, whining about crowd sizes and people he hates and golf championships and his delusion that he won the 2020 election…

            I’ve never seen someone look down every 3 words at the teleprompter even pausing between. It’s almost like it wasn’t her speech. Ateast when she talked shit about trump at her rally the other day it all just kind of naturally flowed out.

              I’ve never seen someone go so far out of their way like you are to be so incredibly critical of an otherwise normal performance at a speech.

              I don’t know what your obsession with teleprompters is buddy, but it’s very weird.

                She’s a two faced evil scumbag. Already proven to be morally corrupt 40 years ago as she now pauses every 3 words at a time to read off that teleprompt that who knows is feeding her proving to be further morally corrupt. Who could sit there and listen to that knowing she didn’t write a single paragraph in that teleprompt.

                  It’s very normal for people in her position to hire speech writers. It’s neither a secret, nor is it something anyone would deny.

                  What is not normal is to be so obsessed by it or think that Evil or corruption have anything to do with it.

                  Take your meds

    Well its about fucking time. Reuters/ Ipsos results will be in next week.

    Lets see if MI/ WI get back on the table and if MN is still a toss up. Its good strong rhetoric but the US has been on the wrong side of this issue for 9 months. One speech doesn’t change that and there is damage to be fixed, but its always a first step. We froze Russian assets to fund the rebuilding of Ukraine. Should we freeze Israelli assets to pay for the rebuilding of Gaza? Lets hear some policy proposals.

      Lets hear some policy proposals.

      Here’s one simple trick that Harris can do on Day 1: Support the full inclusion of Palestine as a member at the United Nations.

      (It’s possible that the UK or France might veto, but the US has generally been the obstacle to full recognition of Palestine at the UN.)

      Once Palestine has international recognition as a state, it can start to benefit from international law, like the Geneva Convention.

    That 5 million dollars in terrorist Aipac money tells me she’s a lying piece of crap. That and her history of being a liar while actually having no principles. Classic establishment politician tbf
