Allstars finding excuses to lock arms with Fuentes in 26 is gonna be crazier than the BS they pulled the last two years

Its more amazing trash like Nick gets promoted in general and keeps popping up on this website.



Loose is a bad faith poster, put him in the same category as cac mamba and negro nap. If you are human think about the numerous things you could be doing with your time then going back and forth with those accounts.

Thing about politics you don't need a algorithm to discuss stump speeches and what candidates are running on.

Majority of kamala speeches focused on:
Trump being a threat to democracy
project 2025
Trump being a crook
How general's hate him
How ex republicans hate him ( liz cheney)
Abortion on the ballot
She tried to steal his no tax on tips but no one cared
Originally said she would go after price gougers but walked it back due to donor pressure.
Wouldn't commit to keeping bidens regulation policy
Didn't call out any of bidens failures why would swing voters back this?

Trumps:
No tax on ss and tips ( fraudulent)
Immigrants stealing jobs
Inflation being out of control
Biden bringing in immigrants to steal jobs/housing
Gas prices being high
Tarrif rambling while insane to me its a change and admitting the economy sucks
interest rates being high


As a democrat he's a nut but when you think about it from a swing voter perspective it's not surprising


i was and called it out at the time of howweak her policies were

none of this has to do with swing voters idk what u babbling about they don't ccare he a racist buffon they care about how far they pay checks stretch

Useless to a swing voter this marketable to democrats. Hopefully going forward democrats can run on how they will change people's material needs instead of losing to a fat racist who running on right wing populism outflanking them

Your framing is dishonest. Her speeches also focused heavily on economic stability, labor, healthcare, gun violence, student debt relief, and middle-class cost pressures. You don't have to erase the substance of her platform -- even if you don't think it was up to snuff -- to make a critique. You definitely shouldn't do it while simultaneously romanticizing Trump's empty slogans and white grievance politics as a coherent "vision."

I don't know if you see it, but you're pushing a nasty double standard: Trump gets credit for talking about grievances without evidence or solutions, while Harris is penalized for nuance and addressing systemic realities. Calling attention to Project 2025, threats to democracy, or the rollback of rights isn't fluff, it's relevant policy contrast. I'm not defending her campaign or even saying it was good; I'm just pointing out what she actually did, even if it doesn't meet your expectations.

This is the unfortunate reality when you're currently in power as the administration: you don't get to run on what you would do in the future when you've already stated you wouldn't change anything about the current leadership you're a part of. Do I agree with that? No, I don't. I voted for her, but that's the reality of the situation we were in.

Kamala told swing voters, who already had major concerns about Biden given his mid-30s approval rating, that she wouldn't change a thing from his administration. They responded by telling her they didn't want her. You can't say inflation is bad and then claim Joe Biden is doing a great job. You can't talk about what you would do yourself but refuse to criticize the administration you're tied to. You can't run on promises like economic stability, labor rights, healthcare reform, gun violence prevention, and student debt relief while also saying you wouldn't change anything about the Joe Biden administration. Those two positions are fundamentally at odds. Jd vance if he wins the republican primary will have a similar problem to kamala, which is why we should have had a primary in the first place to at least give us a chance to win the presidency.
