Kamala Harris Accepts CNN Town Hall Invite As Trump Declines Debate
Kamala Harris has accepted a CNN invite to do a town hall on October 23, after a deadline passed for both candidates to do a debate on the network.
Looks like it's time to bring this meme out again.
To be fair, he was calling for more debates when he was running against Biden, who was ... ineffective.
I low key think if sleepy Joe had another debate, he'd mop the floor with Donald. He was clearly sick during the last one, and aside from the 2 gotcha sound bites that dropped, he was actually the more coherent one. Trump was just spouting the usual lies and bullshit, but louder. I think if Biden had another chance he'd have been fine. Having said that, I'm glad the Dems have Kamala now who is not afraid to call out Trump's multitudes of bullshittery.
I've said it before, they should use Trump's time to explain why his previous answers to the same questions were lies.
The number one question for her to get right:
Voter: “Why does the economy suck so bad from my perspective?”
Standard GOP Answer: “Brown people”
Standard Dem Answer: “As a whole, the economy has never been stronger”
Winning Dem Answer: “Rich people”
I haven’t seen a Dem candidate other than Bernie answer this correctly in my entire life.
It’s not just a failure of policy and campaigning, it’s also a denial of basic reality which has allowed fascists to come in and offer an alternative toxic explanation.
Dems aren't allowed to say that because they are owned by the very same rich people lol
the power move would be if she goes to Faux News
She accepted the Fox News debate, he declined.
More like the stupid move
It's worked for Pete. Well spoken people can break through the bullshit, but it takes someone special. I'm not sure if Harris has that, but I think she may.
Having a conversation where one party promises to always act in bad faith is a bad move.
The Orange Shit Stain knows VP Harris will destroy him during a debate.
Sounds fun. Lets ask her about genocide.
She’ll enable it appropriately 99% less than the ONLY OTHER OPTION, who seeks to ACTIVELY ENCOURAGE genocide.
So brave. So enlightened. [slow clap, shaking head]
I want her to win bruh. And this is the stick in her spokes. There is no daylight between her and Biden, and no meaningful daylight between her and Trump.
She needs to win. She's losing on this issue with the key demographics she needs to get the 1-3% she needs to win the swing states. Throw away the moral wrong if supporting a genocide. Quite literally, it's just a strategically bad decision to not distance herself from Israel and this genocide.
bUt mUh gEnoCiDe!!!!
The problem you have here is that it's simply not an important issue for most people that are likely to vote in this election. It's not even in the top ten most important issues for the overwhelming majority of people. Harping on this issue does nothing to help, won't change the core position, and is likely to end up harming the cause of stopping genocide.
"Soft on terrorism" is a good way to lose a fairly large chunk of voters (because the Oct. 7 attack was terrorism, no matter how you want to justify it). "Opposing genocide" only attracts a very, very small number of voters that wouldn't have already been voting Democratic.
Is this shitty? Sure. Welcome to the worst nightmare of all: reality.
If I have to choose between the welfare of my country and democracy and the welfare of the Palestinians... That's not a complex equation for me.
Let's ask you about your genocide. Lots of child and slave Labor probably producing the stuff you're buying.
Foxconn had lots of suicides. Etc. What are you doing about that?
Israel at least in an Ally, so there might be some debate there (I don't think they're right, but at least there is some doubt in my mind that I don't know the full situation, as it is highly politicised). I do know that Trump raped women though and lies
