I think that's a bit of an extreme example, however I do believe that Harris is going to win the contest legitimately. Say what you will about the policies of the democrat party, and how Kamala is a puppet, the fact is that her handlers have done a pretty respectable job of convincing a large number of people that a second Trump presidency will result in all sort of catastrophic horror.

(Regardless of the fact that if Trump wanted to be a dictator, he'd have done it the first time when he was still Commander in Chief.)

The MAGA crowd will understandably posit a number of explanations for how / why this election win is fraudulent. I'm quite interested to see how they react in terms of physical action, relative to 2020 / 21.

I've been meaning to type this out...

I had dinner with a liberal friend and the conversation turned to politics. I won't go into the whole conversation, but two things really bothered me. It all bothered me, but these two things bothered me the most.

I said lots of things including your side believes in an open border, and your side has all the people that believe in transgenderism and men in women's sports.

About transgenderism... he said, "Why do you care? How does it affect you?" I seriously had no response. His answer was completely unexpected.

About the border... he said, "The border isn't open." I said, "What are you, ******* insane?" He said, "If the border was open, anybody could just come through. There are people apprehending those coming across the border, so the border isn't open."

The brainwashing capability is strong with the left.

It is amazing how dumb many citizens have become. She was originally picked as the candidate that would protect biden because she was so bad that no one would want her to become the president if he were removed from office. It was a don't impeach me because the alternative is much worse.

The state run media has done such a good job with such a poor offering that it makes me think very little of those that are emotionally driven. They just severally lack common sense.

It will be difficult for me to take you seriously in the future. She's an illegitimate candidate to begin with, hasn't given a cogent, presidential answer to even a single question posed to her by anybody, and she's a ******* retard.

I completely agree with everything you just wrote.

I fear that you over-estimate the ability of the voting public to make rational decisions based on facts.

I'm truly sorry for you. In the future choose better people to have dinner with and you need better friends.

The answer to the men in womans sports is, womans sports are important. They allow woman to have the opportunity to learn about working as a team which can help them in the workplace. They also have the potential to make it a career or compete in the Olympics etc. All of this is lost when you tell a young girl that she has to compete for second place at best. How many of you would compete in anything knowing your best posistion was predetermined not to be 1st?


Transgender people are prone to depression and suicide. We're not there yet and we should not promote something that is un-natural especially in young people.

My daughter was chased by an immigrant with a machete. I called the cops, and they never responded.

More predictions.

Eight years ago Trump was a Russian puppet. Four years ago Hunter Biden's laptop was a Russian ploy, and Trump was going to kill us all with his Covid response. This year Trump is Hitler and a felon. No policy arguments. Nothing new--just follow what Sleepy Joe did. Democrats haven't had a new idea for generations.

My prediction--how can anyone vote for a party that has literally "lost" 330,000 children? How can anyone vote for a party that so completely bungled the Afghan withdrawal that billions of dollars of army equipment was left for our enemies to use? Inflation is taxation, and inflation is up 25% with Biden/Harris. How can anyone agree to allow this economic clown show to continue? How could anyone with a daughter allow ******* perverts and the mentally ill into women's bathrooms and locker rooms under the guise of "transgenderism?"

And how can anyone see the push-back from the Democrats for fair elections and not see it for anything but stealing votes? California's ban on I.D's of any kind should be a red flag for anyone with two brain cells to rub together.

Because they believe Trump is "literally Hitler".

edit--I just heard RFK Jr. say about the Democrats, "The capacity for critical thinking has been disabled by orchestrated fear." He then went on to say that Harris/Walz weren't talking about policy, just fear. And it's true.

This is the LAW in California, along with tampon dispensers in the boys bathroom. In my daughter's middle school the little scoundrels ripped it off the wall on the first day and stuffed up all the toilets with tampons. They moved the machine to the faculty bathroom...
