Just to be totally honest with you - I believe Kamala would win the election but like almost every Democrat I don't think she's the best candidate to be President let's just be honest - there're a lot of really smart Democrats they should have picked. America is in a tough position right now and she's not suitable enough to be better than Biden. Or what do you think?
1st, I am not as sure as you that she will win, but I pray she does.

I cannot totally disagree with you... There are many smarter Dems I can easily pick ahead of Kamala. But when the opponent is Trump, I will pick Kamala ahead of him by far.

The scripture says the race is not for the swift... time and chance happen to us all. Else it should not have been possible for Trump to be president when a certain brilliant and more honorable Romney couldn't win it. Biden made Kamala his vice, base on the recommendations and appraisal of his late son, and if Biden had stepped down much earlier...perhaps it wouldn't have been her... Just maybe it is in her destiny and everything is working in her favor. She might have not even stood a chance if Republicans had picked a much more decent candidate who doesn't have all the baggage Trump has.

Also, part of me want her to break the deadlock of a woman president once and for all, this will encourage all these smart bad ass women to join the race in the future.

Georgia judge blocks ballot counting rule and says county officials must certify election results

A judge has blocked a new rule that requires Georgia Election Day ballots to be counted by hand after the close of voting. The ruling came a day after the same judge ruled that county election officials must certify election results by the deadline set in law.

Why do most countries ban mail in voting?
Because they have seen massive fraud.

Since Trump's momentum, a lot of pollsters won't update their polls. This gives the appearance that Harris is still tight with Trump, but her desperation explains a lot.


June 2020:
🟦 201,254
🟥 185,672

🟦 +15,582

October 2024:

Trump had a standing ovation at the end of the interview, the whole room were impressed with Trump performance.
Did you watch it?
That they clapped should tell you something.
I listened to it on my drive home yesterday.
Can you tell me one specific policy he would enact?
He said his tariffs were only for negotiation so it won't raise prices.
He also said he would need the revenue generated from those tariffs to raise trillions of money to pay for his programs.
Which one is it ? It can't be both. And even if were the latter and he placed tariffs on every import, it still wouldn't be enough to pay for his programs.
His remarks were beyond dumb.

It was economic policy gibberish, but some smart people in that room applauded. Not because they didn't know it was gibberish, because they care more about the tax cuts and grift they would get for his administration.
Basic robber barons. Akin to those supporting Tinubu right now.

She's going to win.
Identity politics has never worked in the presidency. She doesn't have a specific plan of her own and that's actually so bad if you really think about it - she has changed every single one of her policies that means she's easily swayed. There're more lobbyists than lawmakers in the US and they're all fighting for their companies not the citizens. America needs a strong president with a specific goal and can't be easily swayed by the people around her. I honestly fear for our future sincerely. Being a woman - if she performs poorly and doesn't fulfill all the promises she has made - the stereotype of femininity will increase the same way Black to black crimes increased during Obama's presidency- that'll be bad for women in politics🤷🏽‍♂️. If they'd picked a better woman candidate than Harris I'll be way more comfortable

Explain to me what was his foreign policy was that worked. What specifically did he do?
As to the economy, what economic policy/plan did he enact that worked.
Explain it to me like I'm a child.

It's easy to say something worked without explaining nor understanding why it worked.
It has been very effective propaganda by Trump.
And honestly, a lot of people have fallen for it.

What is worrying, you're a black Nigerian man who says he lives in Texas.
You seem little concerned about the explosion of racism and xenophobia and more so if Trump is elected. Esp. in Texas.

Another Republican playing racist shenanigans trying to prevent black people from voting.
Printed an ad in a Black owned newspaper saying to vote on Nov. 6th.
In the other ads the date was correct.
Election date is on Nov. 5th

In the political ad, it’s somewhat easy to overlook the blunder of printing the wrong date for Election Day in the Michigan Bulletin. It reads, “On Nov. 6, vote for Tom Barrett.”
...
Mistakes do happen.
However, the Michigan Legislative Black Caucus noticed Barrett placed a similar ad in a Lansing alternative weekly paper with the correct date.

I don't give a shit about identity politics brother and since I came here I've never experienced racism here in Dallas. Trump's economic policies have all worked when everyone said it won't. There was no inflation throughout his presidency everyone you meet will say exactly the same thing - that's just one of the reason many people are voting for him. And I can tell you the racist one is Kamala Harris. Just yesterday she said she would give and forgive 1 million dollar loans for black men - isn't that divisive and racist - that means if you go to take a loan as a white or Asian or Hispanic person they'll reject you based on your skin colour- she's the racist and the divisive person

Lmao, you are a special kind of gullible. So they did not forcefully take control that apartment? Why do you guys like making excuses for criminals?

Ignore what you watched, throw in the word Target and tell us they did not take control as they took control of the apartment with their guns.

Don't go there - it's an ad error
So, a candidate's team creates multiple ads for multiple papers.
On the ad that is going to the Black paper he forgets which date his whole universe centers around, but it's correct for the others
What is the probability that a political campaigns ad teams makes an error around the election date? Most campaigns can wil count down the days till the election.
What is the probability that this mistake happened in the only Black Paper?
The ad is below. Kinda glaring, no?

Yeah, this isn't the first time this type of thing has been done.

I have lived(stayed continuously for at least 3 months at a stretch) in 5 different states in the US including Texas since I came and I have never experienced racism. So my experience is similar to that of Illusioneffect in the same Texas

Maybe because he doesnt go around looking for racism everywhere he goes and treats every disagreement and friction as normal human interactions similar to the disagreement you will have with your own color and even family

I am sure if any of those who disagreed with you on this thread were to be white, you would have claimed racism, sexism or one of those ism

When he applies for a job and he is not picked, he shrugs it off and takes it like, "well maybe someone was better than me. I will try harder next time" while you and your people immediately claim its racism

There is something off about this thread and some of the posters who say they "live" in the US esp. places like Texas.
I have spent most of my life in the US, and have never met a black person who spent significant time here claim they have never experienced racism. It's always a matter of the degree.
Not going to call anyone out, but some of these people's "experiences" are very peculiar and I would even venture to say almost made up.

I literally posted almost a thousand words of policies for you the last time and you expect me to do it again😩 you're the programmed one bro. I've lived back to back in the United States for 6 years in Wisconsin, Texas, even Idaho! and I've never experienced racism. If you're always looking for racism you'll definitely find it where it's not. I've also been to China and that's where I faced racism everyday - Americans don't know what racism is.
The thing that's strange is nowadays the people who face racism is white people giving the fact that companies specifically in job interviews mostly employ black people and Hispanics citing it in a job description - that's real racism.
Can you state a specific scenario you experienced racism?

Amazon and other women said they were not offended by their first name use by others and its convenient, You complained on their behalf.

Buda said he doesnt experience racism in UK that he has lived for most of his life and raised his family, yet you noticed the racism in a few hours

illisioneffect and I say we live in the US and we have not experienced any racism or discrimination different from what humans experience when they live among their own race and people, You claimed its false

Sit back and think about these 3 instances and tell yourself the truth about yourself. You are likely a racist yourself. You are definitely a whiner and someone who complains about imaginary things

Maybe you just need a new set of friends that don't always play victim. People tend to forget what racism is because of how over-used it's.
I've never even been discriminated in the US based on my skin color. The media overblows it a lot. Sorry🤷🏽‍♂️
In China - I was not allowed into some places and people would give me space just because I was black but brother but I never encountered anyone who was racist to me or called me names. I could joke about racism to my white friends but I never got discriminated on my skin color
