Current Affairs 2024 POTUS race

[Pittsburgh Footy]

Now i actually have no time for Trump but in what is supposed to be a current affairs forum, i think people should be allowed to have pro Trump views without being subjected to belittlement and harassment.

The current affairs forum here has the potential to be a place for intelligent and respectful debate, instead it's been hijacked by a cohort of far left nutters who have no time for an alternative viewpoint, and who wish to forcibly ram their opinions down peoples throats.

GOT in general is a brilliant online community, but it's current affairs forum is mainly inhabited by some seriously deranged and deluded individuals imo.

It's been 10 years of Trump, mate

What makes you think on the whole of his rhetoric and actions that it is possible to have intelligent and respectful debate with Trumpers.

And I was a registered Republican until 2016.

I'll hang up and listen

 

[Pittsburgh Footy]

Frightening stuff.

How did it come to this?

The GOP were once respectable. Imagine that.

You're starting to get it now

Better late than never.

Stop nitpicking everything the Democrats do and understand the world we live in now

Yes, it does seem that any right wing view does get attacked and bombarded, but when you consider the vast majority of people from Liverpool are labour voters, it may just be a reflection of the numbers in that one right wing voice is met is 10 left wing voices. So when a lone voice is suddenly having to explain their stance to 10 different people, all taking the conversation in 10 different directions, it can be a very difficult place for that voice to be heard properly. When people like Pete blue share their views, I respect that a lot, whether I agree with him or not. When people go around just posting middle fingers rather than engaging/ignoring, not so much.

But when it is just trolls/bots like Emir,dyslexicblue or that one that used to be in the Ukraine chat, I have no issue with them being belittled

Right of centre politics are fine. Political discourse arguing about policy in a pre-Trump world is fine, as any "lefty" American on here (LOLOLOL - Democrats in the US are barely left of centre compared to Europe, but I digress) would attest

I LONG FOR A DAY WE CAN GET BACK TO DEBATING POLICY LIKE NORMAL PEOPLE

In the Trump era, that is simply impossible. The sheer number of Republicans and former Republicans coming out against Trump should drill that point home

'Stop nitpicking' handing thousands of bombs to a psychotic regime to drop on people living in the Stone Age?

Oh yeah, I'll be sure to do that...

How on earth have the Democrats overseen this? Still within the margin of error and I wont at all be surprised to still see Harris the victor in 8 days time, but that nut case Trump should be nowhere near the WH.

Harris and Walz have been appalling. Amateur hour. Getting their backs slapped by fawning celebrities, culture war focussed and remaining in Biden's shadow was never a wise combination. Harris was the wrong choice to be candidate and this is a self inflicted wound.

Jesus Christ would be in a dead heat with Trump today

That's not hyperbole

Again, that's best for the US General politics thread.

As handing thousands of bombs to a psychotic regime is what Americans do mate, from both sides of the aisle

Forever

And that certainly would continue under Trump if you've heard what he's said

No, I disagree. Because losing Arab-Ameican votes this time around might just hand Trump the presidency. It's very much relevant for the POTUS thread.

Fair enough

And again, I don't think Arab- Americans are so stupid as to vote for someone that would deport them all if he could. And would wipe Gaza off the map if given the chance.

But then again, we live in an upside down world nowadays.

Yes.

But then again that was a self-imposed injury - all Harris had to do was to make overtures at the DNC to Arab-American groups to take to the stage to show solidarity, but she bottled it. She chose to pacify the Tel Aviv regime and their lobby in Washington in their efforts to wipe out Gaza.

By implementing policies that cause inflation no less.

And to prove there's plenty of lunacy to go around...

you just cant help yourself.
Trump holds a fascist rally in MSG... But BUT BUT
A looney screamed at a kid at a harris rally.

You are allowed to voice criticism to that lunatic - and the Democratic leadership that's helped lay waste to Gaza - while retaining your position to Trump.

You live in a very black and white world.

American policy in the post WW2 era has helped laid waste to Gaza

Regardless of party

I keep bringing this up because it's important. To bang on Biden and Kamala about Gaza implies that the other side would do something different. When the other side would almost certainly be more hawkish on wiping Gaza from the face of the earth. I mean the other side literally moved the embassy to Jerusalem, not in spite of, but BECAUSE it would infuriate the Arab world

So yes, everything needs to be discussed within the proper context

Yea sure but you literally posted criticizing a nazi rally and followed it up with a 'in the interest of balance' post where you showed a girl screaming at a kid.
Hardly the same as standing at a podium saying 'we're going to use the military to take out Pelosi and Schiff'
