USA - 2024 US Presidential Election: Trump vs Harris (pt II)

I will be keen to watch the handover on J6 I think, Will the Bidens attend unlike Trump? Will the crowd be the biggest in history, Will there be a magical Mystery victory tour and rallies like 2016, Will he reduce his golf games and stop heading North in the Summer or home to Fl in the winter...

Exactly, I'm not even close to knowledgeable on the topics of world politics but I'm hoping Australia will continue to strengthen relationships with India, NATO and Japan going forward with the likelihood of the U.S downhill trajectory.

Though I guess there's always a chance that one of Russia or China actually sort their shit out and join democracy again with a decent leader.

Yep, China is our major trading partner. maybe we can strengthen the alliance and possibly get out of AUKUS Deal with US under trump.

But geez, If some aussie came like trump came along and said we should like burn our coal rather than ship it all to china so we can have cheap electricity too, or charge a decent amount of royalties for our natural gas exports like Norway and qatar, plus sell domestically at cost price to lower electricity & gas prices, we might actually have cheaper electricity and maybe be able to manufacture things here rather than buy it all from china.

Australia has loads of natural resources, rather than digging up just to export need to do some downstream stuff as well.

There is room for nuclear as well, we have zero expertise, would be worthwhile to have some expertise in australia and a plant, or even SMR's down the line when they are more mainstream.

we should be making lithium batteries, have a electric auto industry. manufacturing in australia from an Aussie owned car brand. that reduces our reliance on fossil fuels. and shipping in cars from overseas.

could have government building cheap units in regional areas that have solar panels and battery power systems added to housing commision stock then sold back to middle/low income earners / first home buyers.

It's a tangent for another thread, but the Ten Commandments is considered - academically - to have its roots in the Code of Hammurabi, as there's considerable overlap between them; as such, the claim that Judaism/Christianity appropriated ideas from other religions and philosophies isn't really an overreach.

I know, but I find it quite difficult to combat the ignorance on display in threads like this with anything remotely resembling succinctness.
Having a go at someone for dismissing Judaism (again, in particular) as a "rip off" of earlier religions is quite reasonable, I think. It's just silly, and disrespectful. Judaism is one of the oldest "live" religions in existence.

Do you mean the same congress that has stopped supplying arms to Israel this time round?

Blinded by the light, la la la la la........

If you think Trump will stop supplying arms to Israel you are a bigger fool than han I thought.

 

[Vassp]

Military industrial complex is a lot more then just wars.

Research and development is a big part of it, and the us onsells weapons all over the world l.

its part of the business structure, do you honestly think Trump is going to come in and close all the Military industrial industry down?

 

[Vassp]

I didnt say he would, because I don't know, do you ? play the ball not the man,

Pies take from the 2016 election. So, what did American politics learn?

 

[TheSunGod]

Will be interesting to see who the Dem's go with in 2028. I like Buttigieg, but don't think there's anyway they can put up a gay man. The US just won't vote for him. You can't put up another woman.

It needs to be someone young. Maybe Shapiro?

Americans would vote for a decomposing Trump before they would for a gay man which is a shame because Buttigieg would be a great candidate.

Congress votes unanimously on both sides to keep the Israel money flowing.

They voted against keeping on funding the Saudis but trump vetoed it.

You’re actually arguing against your own point here.

 

[bourbons]

I'm not a right winger

Let me guess, enlightened centrist?

and i also gave you a direct quote from Jake Tapper, so I'm unsure why you keep referring back to CNN. Again, you are bundling people into categories because they dont agree with you.

Do you not agree with what Jake is saying in that video i posted to you?

You didn't post a video to me. You linked an article about where the Democrats went wrong that focused primarily on Harris' inability to unlink herself from Biden, with nary a mention about policy in sight ¯\(ツ)/¯

 

[Blue1980]

Well if he’s anti war he wouldn’t continue to provide more and more money to military spending (like he did in his first term).

Both parties are terrible when it comes for foreign policy, meddling in other countries etc. it’s definitely an area where there is barely any daylight between the 2 parties.

The average voter just doesn't want the elites telling them what they should do and think, and at the moment Harris and the Democrats are the elites.

What are they telling them to do and think?

 

[black is White]

We can see why Christians voted for trump, the entire premise of their cult is that an old man r*ped a child!

I don't know about that exactly but biden sure as hell has sniffed, grouped nibbled and bitten more kids than I can count and not to mention his own daughter saying she has what was probably inappropriate showers with Joe Biden.

Did Ashley Biden Call Childhood Showers with Her Father 'Probably Inappropriate' in Leaked Diary?

"I will forever have to deal with the fact that my personal journal can be viewed online," Ashley Biden wrote to a district court judge.

The left go on a tangent about Trump and his daughters and completely avoid this reality like the plague

 

[bourbons]

People need to try and make sense of what's happening in their own way.

Oddly enough, these are probably some of the most meaningful discussions a lot of people have about politics, so it seems like a healthy process rather than a simple 'meltdown'.

burge13 not happy lol

 

[Anzacpaul]

They really need to look after the working class, and not corporations/celebrities

Money in politics means it will never happen. Politicians and policies are bought for cents on the dollar.

my point is how is how is that Trump's fault then ? so I'm not arguing against myself am i ?

 

[bourbons]

Smart guy, that Bernie. Pity he’s not a bit younger.

Wouldn't make a difference if he was.

As others have said, the Democrat party would legit prefer 4 years of Trump than a genuine progressive.

Not a thing.

Except how to substitute "Clinton" for "Harris".

Otherwise it's remarkable how much has stayed exactly the same.

I just rewatched it and thought exactly the same thing. Change the names and it was virtually the same playbook. I pissed myself laughing at the Beyonce and Jay z remark.

Nope, trump is going to listen to what they say.

Like all US presidents post ww2.

There is no way known any US government will stop supporting Israel.

Correct, that isn't changing overnight. Not sure why that is so hard for our lefties to understand.

I actually love this guy. He's a savage.

Kamala's policies/vision were absolutely clear as day to anyone with at least average critical faculties & /or attention span. Perhaps the issue was their inability to clearly communicate these to those without. The bro aspect was probably a superficial dent in the vote but, for mine, it symbolises a lot of what Trump got right.
