It will be interesting to hear and watch near side-by-side speeches by the two campaigns today. Trump and Biden will be a couple hours later. Lakeside Granny has already started the Live thread at https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4254451/posts
Some comparisons... You can go to https://www.donaldjtrump.com/events and see all of President Trump and Senator Vance's upcoming events. No similar site currently exists or is accessible for Vice President Harris.
Will we get word salad today? Will she double down on her leftist dribble or remake herself into a moderate?
Is it really only two bits to get in?
She’s being joined by James Taylor and Yo Yo Ma, so that will get a few locals.
She should give a rally in Butler, Pa.
No one elected her for the party nomination for president in 2020, and no one elected her for the party nomination for president here in 2024.
The Dim big donors and their Soros Obama crowd forced all contenders out of the race, after Biden lost the first three primaries, so they could install the rapidly dementing Biden as their cardboard cut out stand in, while their cabal would run the show behind and under the figurehead Biden.
Then here in 2024 they contiunedd the pretense that Biden was fit long enough so that there was little time for any new primaries to replace Biden, allowing the same cabal of giant donors and the Soros-Obama team to demand Harris merely be coronated without any vote by anyone.
Twice they have staged a coup within the Democratic Party now in just four years and hope to win the presidency with their unelected nominee.
Nominees should not be elected.
Yes, these repeated cheats and Dem masters making their backroom deals will catch up to them. Clinton in 2016, Biden in 2020, and now Harris in 2024. In 2020 Harris was doing so poorly that she dropped out before the first votes were even cast.
“Nominees should not be elected.”
Why? They should be hand picked by a few party elites in backroom deals???
Kamala is irreversibly welded at the hip to Biden, which includes Biden’s rotten record.
That, together with her cackling personna, and her own way out left
wing record is the reason no one voted for her in the Democrat primary.
The result of the primary system (net/net) is people being chosen for positions of great responsibility for their skill as candidates.
"Running" and doing your job are tangentially related if they are related at all.
And to be in the primary electorate as a "Republican" or a "Democrat" is as simple as signing a form.
The whole thing is stupid. Political parties, if they are allowed to exist at all (a bad idea IMO) should be able to qualify primary voters with either financial support criteria OR a track record of participation in campaigns (or getting elected).
The notion of a herd of Netflix viewers getting together and picking the candidate should end.
“Political parties, if they are allowed to exist at all”
So, to your mind you think political parties should not be allowed to exist?
You’d obviously prefer “one” party states like the CCP in China, which is a dictating philsophy and the CCP elites pick the “best” people for government positions, with no messy elections.
How about letting candidates run on their own?
I know it is a radical idea but that is often done for minor local offices.
“How about letting candidates run on their own?”
They can. Anyone can run as an indepedent in most states by filing a declaration of intent to run and collecting a very small percentage of voters in a petition supporting your intent.
The benefit of running in a party is you already have a networked/organizational infrastructure that can get behind you, whereas as an independent there is no framework of support ready made to get behind you if, within that organization you get their support.
The problem with the existing party system is there is no readily available method of getting rid of one or both.
The People overwhelmingly favor social conservatism and economic liberalism. Both parties at present exist to prevent social conservatism (D) or economic liberalism (R).
“The problem with the existing party system is there is no readily available method of getting rid of one or both.”
For getting rid of one or both parties???
Again, you seem to want some sort of political singularity, which is incompatible with freedom and liberty as any political singularity will, naturally, gravitate to a dictatorship.
Anyone find a live link for Harris in Pittsfield? I’ve been looking and haven’t found one.
