Because he's a confused old man.

Yeah, but it still wasn’t his. There’s a table to his right with a bottle of water on it laid out for him. If you look at wide shots you can seek all four people sitting on stage have a table to their right with water on it.

This is all culture war stuff that won't resonate with the middle ground voters. At the end of the day, they'll only care about taxes and the cash making it's way into their back pockets.

Can't decide if it's an alpha "Andrew Tate" type move or he's simply confused as to which bottle belongs to him.

Pretty sure a lot of black voters will have a view on it.

Trump is just repeating what he saw on Fox News. He's just too mental to realise it's the wrong audience and not the MAGA crowd that loves stuff like that

Trump will probably "retaliate" with his own empty podium debate on Fox... so there!

There's no chance whatsoever the big sook will ever face Kamala in a debate - he knows he'd get obliterated.

I missed it but she spoke about Beau needing to take a break so she's stepped up to the plate. Does a good job...

I missed this over the weekend, but it seems Trump's attempts to have the 2020 election interference case thrown out have failed. So far, at least.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c6p22n0z5m2o

The judge overseeing Donald Trump's 2020 election interference case has dismissed an effort to have it thrown out.

US District Judge Tanya Chutkan said Trump's legal team had provided “no meaningful evidence” the former president had been prosecuted for "vindictive and political purposes"

On the surface he seems so likeable and stirkes a balance between being former military/a hunter and being a former teacher who sees the logic in feeding kids and having other 'progressive' policies to better the average person. It's majorly f'd that so many working class people will see that as evil 'socialism' though. Have heard him called a 'dangerous liberal' already. They're turkeys voting for Thanksgiving AND Christmas.

I agree. The more I hear him talk, the more I like him.

He isn't scared about saying that he's changed his position on stuff, & makes it clear that it wasn't because he was chasing votes, but because he'd discussed it with people, & came to see & agree with their position, he mentions changing his position after talking with his daughter.

Hey Shady Vance already has his number, apparently he is the most left leaning candidate Harris could have chosen, and also a leading light in the right wing of the Democrats ..... say what

Posted: **Tue Aug 06, 2024 11:36 pm**

I'd love to see him debate Weird Eyeliner Dude.

Posted: **Wed Aug 07, 2024 1:33 am**

From the little I’ve seen Walz is not as slick and articulate as Shapiro or Buttigieg, politically he’s also slightly to the left of Shapiro. However, he feels more genuine than Shapiro and is also not a Jew or Homo, which sadly matters

My favourite line: "I can't wait to debate the guy (Vance)... that is if he's willing to get off the couch and show up!"

Posted: **Wed Aug 07, 2024 3:43 am**

ZINNNNNGGGGG. Walz can play the role of pitbull, attacking the Trump campaign when suitable and letting Harris stay on the high road and focus on policy.

It feels like Dems are pulling rabbits out of hats left right and centre recently.
Not long ago thoughts were that there were no decent candidates and they wouldn’t be the type to lean into stuff like the above.
I for one am enjoying it

Really wish labor in Oz would learn from this and get a pitbull, who isn't Mark Latham, front and center next Fed election.

All of this plus the current Democrats are showing an ability to unite behind a common cause without being distracted by extreme issues that do not help win elections.

Whoever they picked would've been labeled as such - it's why it's such a waste of time to make decisions based on what your opponents may or may not attack you for.

^ drivel that would cause any normally functioning democracy to immediately turn away from the candidate. The damage empowerment of this sort has done to the 'Western' world still can't be understated. It effects all of us.
