Dei Posted October 25 Posted October 25 i don't like this answer of "well follow the law". She's running for the highest position, so we expect her to be more leader-like and not a follower
Gladiator Posted October 25 Posted October 25 (edited) From her interviews recently, I can't surmise a single stance she has on damn near anything. She responds in such a grimy political way to these questions with such non answers. It makes me sad. The people want to know what she feels about these things. I bet if she was asked if she liked purple or green more, she'd still be seemingly indecisive. Edited October 25 by Gladiator 2
Tovitov Posted October 25 Posted October 25 Kamala gives non answer to avoid political landmine in an attempt to keep the massive democratic tent together. Will it work? Ask me in two weeks. 1 1

She's running for the highest position, so we expect her to be more leader-like and not a follower She's a career prosecutor. This is her genuine answer. I'm not saying I agree with it, but this kind of response should not be surprising. 2
on the line Posted October 25 Posted October 25 @monologueNacafe spamming my notifications again while being a silent downvoter on every single reply I make.... I literally cannot keep up. Lmao 6
Marianah Adkins Posted October 25 Posted October 25 Watching the town hall was an eye opener really. She has nothing going on inside her head. Even if she wins, can you imagine her representing and defending America against Xi Jinping and Putin, what is she gonna do, ijbol? and the way ppl who have genuine concerns about her are being branded as fascist is the reason why attacks on Trump have fallen on deaf ears. No one wants to be told what to do, especially on how they vote and how they exercise their democratic right. 3 1
shyboi Posted October 25 Posted October 25 the problem with this one dimensional queen is that she has no political identity and is always trying to please different groups of people just to gain their sympathy and therefore votes and then situations like these arise she freezes because everything she says could alienate at least one of the 50 groups she is trying to please that's why she's struggles to give answers to even the most simple questions 5 1

Same doesn't apply to him because being a permanent landmine constantly going off, and opening his mouth just to change foot, is his schtick, and sadly we seem to be in a world where anyone voting for him is impervious to it all.

I see the Democrats smearing Jill with those conspiracies and cheap low blows because they can't attack her policies. https://www.businessinsider.com/jill-stein-still-owes-fec-campaign-finance-penalites-2020-10 She's either a scam artist or an incompetent moron.

Tovitov Posted October 25 Posted October 25 Hopefully if and when Trump is out of the picture, the political coalitions can go back to normal and democrats wont have to twist themselves in knots trying not to scare off moderate republicans.

Vermouth Posted October 25 Posted October 25 Just now, shyboi said: let's be honest, she is trying to get the independent, centric vote and this looks like is lowkey, trying to throw trans people under the bus her message is very inconsistent but i hope everything works out for the best in the end. Absolutely. Bismarck the late 19th century chancellor of Germany said laws are like sausages: best you don't see how they're made. This election is like that: she has to get over the line, that's all. How, where, why, are irrelevant, but various of interest groups distracting from that goal, at this stage of the game, whinging that their particular angle isn't being prioritised and sugar coated just how they'd like it pretty please, is a distraction from that and a cause for celebration at Mar E Lago. I mean for the naive out there: get over yourselves, if only till a week on Tuesday. 2 2

Yeah, you should think of Trans people and vote for Kamala because the other candidate has vowed to go after them and Kamala wont. Edited October 25 by Tovitov 2 3

ATRL Moderator Bloo Posted October 25 ATRL Moderator Posted October 25 3 hours ago, Blue. said: As a non American, can someone explain what they are discussing here? Sound like she's being asked on gender affirming therapy and she is saying that medical advise should be followed, so without context I don't know exactly what's wrong. The issue is that Kamala Harris chose to avoid saying the word "trans" at all in her response because Democrats now are fearful of being associated with trans people. That is cowardly, embarrassing, and pathetic. Saying, "I believe trans people deserve healthcare" is not hard. The hyper-fixation on trans people from Republicans is also not a politically viable strategy. Democrat Andy Beshear is the governor of the very Republican state of Kentucky and he won reelection in 2023 while standing up for trans kids. 5 2
VelvetCrush Posted October 25 Posted October 25 I wonder if americans are aware that both their main parties would be considered right wing in other countries, with Trump being far-right. So no wonder a lot of people rightfully criticize the democrats. That being said obviously Kamala is way better than Trump and the best option of vote to those who don't want him to win.
UnusualBoy Posted October 25 Posted October 25 Who's she trying to cater with these responses? Anyway, she's still way better than Trump but this type of responses or lack of is what may lead her to lose.
45seconds Posted October 25 Posted October 25 3 hours ago, KatyPrismSpirit said: She always comes across as incompetent. Sorry. But she literally didn't even answer the question. The interviewer asks "What is your value, do you believe trans people should have access to gender affirming care". Why would she respond with "I'm not going to position myself as a doctor" or "I think we should follow the law"? That doesn't answer the question about your personal beliefs. Those responses come across as evasive and sidestepping the actual question rather than sharing her personal stance. What you just talked about is not incompetence. Incompetence implies she doesn't know what she's doing what is not the truth. She is in fact very competent.
