Happening Now: RFK Jr. speaks amid speculation he'll drop out of presidential race

a reply to: wAnchorofCarp

I don't mind you're super angry that the Dems rallied around her and like Trump you are very sad that it's no longer Joe. Her name was on the primary ballot that was voted for, so nah, as much as you are mad, the Dems knew if something happened to Joe, she was the next in line. And again someone could have tried to get the delegates, but they declined.

How do I just know this wouldn't be an issue if the person was doing poorly. 🤣

Yes, I'm super angry at communists doing communists things.


Why aren't you?

a reply to: wAnchorofCarp

Because they are not communists. That's how.

You believe we will be a classless,stateless, society where the government owns the means of production and there is no private property because kids might get free lunch and some new home owners may be eligible for a 25g grant. 🤣

Ah yes The Hegelian Dialectic at work. No sense trying to figure it out. Many people think if these 2 agree on one or two MAJOR HIGH IMPACT issues (not petty Democrat issues and lies and deflections and general bullsh1t), it might not matter what their differences are since those issues may never be on a table. 😀

Who'd'a ever thought 💥

Who'd'a ever thought Kamala would get thousands of Democrat Delegate Votes with 0 primary election People votes? 😀

🤣 Hey, I don't care that he's endorsing him. I just asked why as people tried to claim they are so aligned when both people clearly state they are not aligned.

These next few months are going to be entertaining as heck with Trump, Kennedy and Vance. Who will out crazy who?

and most of us can't wait to learn what AI is from Harris along with all her other wonderful speeches when she's off teleprompter. AI is two words. Artificial Intelligence. She is so smart. You must be giddy with anticipation for her debate and follow up interviews asking all about her plans to lock in prices and secure the border by allowing 5K per day to come in, while giving them housing, education, and cash. She really is a breath of fresh air.

No, I believe they are communist because of not only their policies but their ability to place a candidate no one voted for.


...while you seals clap in "joy"....

I know right? Maybe we will get a shark/ battery debate between the two. Or they can argue which airport the revolutionaries overtook. Or maybe they can each get a hurricane path map and argue in sharpie which way it's gonna go. The bar is not high here.

And yes, Trump's tariff idea of at least 60% to China, recently he said maybe 100% plus up to 20% on everything else is really going to be beneficial to the middle and lower class. We'll have no problem paying all that extra tacked on, the rich will still be OK thank goodness.

Plus the NG and as he said maybe military roaming our streets and snatching people up. While the police have absolute immunity from prosecution as he stated in WI a few months back and are free to kill/terrorize/torture(as we saw those charged in Louisiana)without consequences. Fun times!

Definitely not a good look on the left.

But communists is a bit hyperbolic. There are a lot of parliamentary governments where you don’t have primaries and often don’t even get to vote for who will be in power, just the party. Then they’ll decide who will lead the party.

The other part is Americans will still get the opportunity to vote against Kamala should they chose.

Just declaring it communist isn’t going to win any undecided voters IMO.

She’s not a strong candidate, just stick to policy and show how the left has fumbled up until now. The only way Trump loses is if he and his base gets too far down the road of rhetoric.

Then how about price controls.......

Dictated acceptable speech?

Do the two of them truly align though, or what is it really about?

Ancient history. Kennedy & Trump have created an alliance on common values and beliefs, democrats cannot comprehend.
Too bad, Trump the juggernaut!

Not only that, Kamala wants to seize your patents.
Similar to when Obama said..

If you've got a business, you didn't build that.

They want all your stuff.
They want full control.

Here’s Kamala telling you this.
When they tell you who they are, everyone should listen….

Dictator Kamala Harris discussing government takeover of companies' patents:
"I will snatch their patent, so that we [the American government] will take over.
Yes we can do that!
The question is: 'Do you have the will to do it'!?
I have the will to do it."

That was next on the list.

I'm curious to see where Stinkies line is.

a reply to: frogs453

But according to Bidenomics, price increases don't matter 'cuz the economy is so great. 😃

Price controls would be a disaster, but not new. There are price controls now, and Nixon did a broad sweep up them (which is how we know it would be a disaster).

While it would be a disaster, and is already a bad look. Not quite communism.

Edit: one side is running on “protecting democracy”, and the other is implying we’ll slip into communism… which is a very similar take. Both will cry foul if they lose and come up with some intricate theory too. One will be Russia, the other will probably say China and or Iran. Ironically they’re all allied.

a reply to: CriticalStinker

Despite our opinions, democracy has been taken off the table and it's not looking great for keeping a Republic either where somewhere around 50 percent of voters side with communism.....

If one were to take in the totality of KH's positions:

Price controls on goods and services
Elimination of private health insurance
Seizure of legally protective patents from patent holders
Taxes on unrealized capital gains
Arbitrary banning of currently legal firearms including confiscation

Can't you kind of see where the communism claims come from?

a reply to: wAnchorofCarp

People didn’t demand better candidates. So we’ve been left with two options almost every election, both having more similarities than differences.

Every cycle they’ll run on platforms that energize their base, but ultimately the policy produced by the admins typically emulate eachother aside from a few distracting wedge issues. Often those wedge issues just have subtle societal impact, but rarely something the effects day to day life.

You’re right that we’ve been going down hill for 50+ years, but that isn’t due to communism. It’s due to cronyism and pseudo oligarchy.

Make no mistake though, both parties have been anti free market. One wants to regulate more, the other wants to regulate less to favor large corporations. Both have bailed out the incredibly large corporations who increase profit year over year while increasing prices.

DC is incestial, and most of them share the same donors. Those are investments, not donations.

a reply to: Vermilion

Sigh. Weird it left out the whole beginning of the conversation.

“Essentially what we’re going to do is set drug prices so that American consumers are charged a price for drugs that is the average price that is being charged around the globe,” Harris said. “For any drug where they fail to play by our rules—and if that drug came about because of federal funding for what is called R&D, research and development—I will snatch their patent so that we will take over.”

So...

“When an invention is made using taxpayer funds, under certain circumstances march-in authority under the Bayh-Dole Act enables the federal government to license the invention to another party.”

And the Bayh-Doyle Act:

It allowed the private sector to retain patents for innovations that received federal funding. These recipients—which include businesses, universities, and nonprofits—had to abide by certain stipulations. Among them, the government retained its right to “march-in” if a product was not being offered to the market on “reasonable” terms.

No one has plans to "snatch patents" willy nilly.

I see what you're sayin' but to me it is more a product of the msm, big tech and the deepstate working together to create a massive pysop of propaganda. If people really saw the democrats for what they are Trump would win in a landslide. Just imagine if the msm, big tech and the deepstate were working together to help Trump, it wouldn't be close yet even with that help Kamala is losing.
