Trump might win because Democrats are too extreme

Tuesday, October 15, 2024

If Democrats aren't panicking yet, they might want to start. The Kamala Harris honeymoon is over, and the glow has dissipated. In six of the seven battleground states, former President Donald Trump now shows a slight lead in the polls. An NBC News poll released Sunday shows Harris and Trump tied in the national vote. We are three weeks out from Election Day and one thing has become clear: Trump might actually win. A Trump win would raise a lot of questions for Republicans. He's an objectively bad candidate who doesn't represent conservatism well. However, it would raise even more questions for Democrats. How could they have lost to such a uniquely awful opponent?

It doesn't help that the corporate media giants are more interested in keeping the race competitive, in the interests of their advertisers, than telling the truth about the insane, fascist crap coming out of Agent Orange's mouth and campaign. Personally, I suspect all the corporate media outlets of being in on Project 2025. Keeps people at each others' throats so they don't look at the people really screwing them over.

#1. Statistical analyses show coverage of Trump has been overwhelmingly negative and coverage of Harris has been overwhelmingly positive.

The MSM desperately wants Harris to win and are pulling out all iof the stops to try to help her win.

Did it ever occur to you, you lying POS, that ------- is an overwhelming negative human being, running an overwhelmingly negative campaign?

it makes one wonder why you support someone who is threatening to use the army against his political rivals.

#4. Did you read the embedded piece? It's pretty anti Trump and rightfully so.

But all you have is nastiness. It's the result of being bullied by the nerds as a kid. Being bullied by a bully as a kid is bad enough but to be bullied by the nerds? That kind of emasculation must be intense and it explains why you are the way you are as an adult.

I'm anti Democrat and anti Harris. I am not pro Trump. He's a terrible candidate and a pretty lousy person.

As for using the military against his "rivals" if you listen to what was said in full context, he was talking about squelching violence. It was in reference to Biden predicting violence (rioting) after this election.

Hey look at jeff claim he is not pro trump while defending trump.

What a lying piece of ---- you are jeff.

Even assuming you are correct, which you aren't. Using the military domestically against American citizens is reprehensible. But you don't mind it, you think it is a reasonable position to take.

Because you are a ------ human being.

But of course, what ----ler actually said was against the "radical left", against the "enemy within".

And who are these radical left lunatics?

"But the thing that's tougher to handle are these lunatics that we have inside like Adam Schiff."

Everyone sees it, but you lie.

Because you are a ------ human being.

No. Context matters. Truth matters. If context and truth didn't matter you'd be slamming Walz for becoming friends with school shooters.

Trump was talking about using the national guard or maybe the military to squelch riots. During the summer of love riots, if memory serves, about 60% approved of using the national guard to shut down the riots. As much as the MSM tried to sugar coat what was going on it was still that appalling.

Yep. And the right is castigated by the left far more constantly and in far worse terms by the left. So spare us all your self-righteous faux outrage.

You are such a lying piece of ---- jeff, seriously, such a disgusting human being I think I could catch a disease talking to you on the internet.

POST ANYTHING nearly similar to siccing the military on "radical leftwing lunatics" like Adam Schiff said by ANY prominent democrat.

And that was NOT the context.

Bartiloma asked about disturbances on election day.
----ler responded that the real problem is the problem with the "enemy within" and the "radical leftwing lunatics",... like Adam Schiff.

If you can explain how Adam Schiff is the BLM protestors, please do

And
Again
even assuming you are correct, which you aren't,
that is equally as reprehensible.
Using the US Army to quell political protests.

You're a sick disgusting human being.

It's an opinion piece. The Author is the SOURCE of authority here.

There's no polling or issue data. There is no analysis beyond "here are the issues I think voters care about."

The Author is the SOLE SOURCE of authority here.

No wonder you are dumb enough to believe anything. Facts, evidence, and basic logic are not something you understand.

Is it a myth or is there some truth to the notion that rightwing voters have the stomach for what Trump dishes out but leftwing voters can't stand it when their candidates dare go down that road?

In a million years, nobody can say Harris more extreme than Trump but the election could swing for Trump because Harris has to get aggressive (even though it's nothing compared to her opponent)?

Rioters, you idiotic liar.

Prominent Democrats instead talk about things like "deprogramming" aka re-education camps.

Democrats and lefties in the media casually use terms like: racist, misogynist, fascist, Nazi, cultist using a very broad brush when doing so to dehumanize those who they disagree with.

And you are going to start bawling over Trump's comment? Here's a dollar. Buy some self awareness with it.

Perhaps you could explain how lying that a group of legal immigrants, who happen to be black, are eating cats and dogs and pets, ISN'T racist.

But are you going to vote for him? Do you hope he wins despite being a terrible candidate and pretty lousy person? You seem to be carrying a lot of water for him lately in spite those things.

Kamala is hardly "extreme" by any definition, other than standing with Biden in avoiding progressive policy.

Trump is a con artiste! Kamala doesn't have one ounce the capacity to communicate radical ideas of any form as Trump has/does/will continue doing.

We're back to Biden v Trump. No thanks.

How could they have lost to such a uniquely awful opponent?

By tying their hands with an awful choice four years ago and then playing the it's her turn as VP' card despite's it being a poor choice four years ago.

The only reason their stupidity hasn't cost us everything is that the GOP is too extreme and ham handed to capitalize on it.

(BTW the headline is hilariously blind to reality)
