Current Affairs 2024 POTUS race

[carolinablue232]

Dave I don't reckon 99% of Americans who, you know, are the ones voting, will have Gaza being their one and only issue to vote on. Nice commentary on it from 4,000 miles away though,.

I can assure you we have taken note of Dave’s concern, and once Kamala locks up the 160 million registered American voters, he will be next on the list. I’d recommend he wait patiently by the phone for her call.

The US Presidency is a single issue thing for me: Gaza.

Harris will be no better than Biden or Trump.

That 'snub' she gave Netanyahu was a clumsy bit of theatre for the benefit of the Democratic base.

She'll be supplying the apartheid state with thousands of bombs to drop on Gazan's and no doubt those in the West Bank soon enough and the Lebanese.

I see your logic.

I'll vote for the unhinged reality TV-star then.

That'll be why Harris was trying to cut short to about 2 seconds her public meeting with Netanyahu...because hardly anyone in the US cares about the slaughter in Gaza.

Just abstain.

Same over here when the sheeple thought they had to vote for either/or of two Tory parties.

You do have the right to spoil your paper.

That's a statement too.

Why am I not surprised you 'make a statement' by spoiling your vote rather than weigh up the actual policy positions and vote accordingly. You love a statement dontcha

I’m sure this has been explained to you in here already, but just to reiterate…in the current makeup of American politics, abstaining (at least in the key swing states) is effectively the same as casting a vote for Trump. His hardline support isn’t wavering, and hasn’t for eight years now. If Democrats and Independents are unenthusiastic and a lot sit the election out, he wins. If not, he loses. Republican policies if he retakes the White House will make things immeasurably worse for the people of Gaza. To sit out, or vote third party, is to be complicit in worsening their plight.

That's a grisly joke isn;t it? Worse than seeing 40,000 of them (half of them children) murdered by US bombs supplied by a Democratic administration?

If you're willing to reward that type of 'foreign policy' then you go right on ahead.

 

[verreauxi]

All the way from Madagascar I can still sense davek’s insufferable dogmatism. And this is when I only get 1bar of signal for about an hour a day.

Every single US administration has supplied Israel with weapons and public support
Every single UK Government has supplied Israel with military aid and public support

What is in question is which administration 'limits' the aid and puts pressure on Israel to limit the harm
There is no doubt a Trump administration would be immeasurably worse for Gaza as they are not only racist but always follow the money

The GOP inviting Netanyahu to speak before congress should tell you exactly where a GOP run administration would stand
A spoiled vote, as mentioned, is a vote for Trump. Thankfully you don't get a vote to spoil

 

[Tramps_mate]

In a civilised and morally correct World, Harris and Walz should, well, waltz this Election.

But as you all know, this is not a civilised and morally correct World.

I really really hope they do...

For the sake of humanity in stopping Trump!!

 

[Tramps_mate]

Free breakfast and lunch? Wow. That's some promise!

Dave - we're a bit busy over here trying to NOT to become a Christian version of Israel...or worse full on Isis/Taliban to "just abstain"
