Do these people really not see what is going on with the recent CEO killing? Is it really that hard to understand how much people like them are hated by the poors?

This makes me wonder, if we somehow got President Harris for a month, do you think she'd do anything different?

[–] PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Different from Trump? Yes.

It’s spilt milk at this point, but the idea that we even needed to evaluate Harris in order to vote against Trump in this particular election, is ridiculous. Wait and see, if you don’t agree, probably it will become clear very early next year.

This isn't Trump though; this is Biden.

[–] PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The question was about Harris, who also isn't Biden.

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They're asking if Harris would do anything different from Biden what are you even talking about?

[–] PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes, I saw. I remember it, I was there. They asked a fair question, making a point, and I asked another fair question, also making a point. Is there something I can help you with here?

The question had nothing to do with whether or not to nominate Harris or Biden for the election. The question was a hypothetical "would someone with a fully functional brain be using these 2 months productively?" question. This applies whether it was Biden that lost or Harris that lost or Bernie that lost.

The election is over and lost. You can give the "vote for anyone except Trump" hair-trigger response a rest now as it turns out they didn't.

Incorrect. The question was a hypothetical "would Kamala Harris" et cetera. If they'd asked the question you said, we'd be having a different question.

I wasn't the one that brought Kamala Harris into the equation, so saying that I was bringing up the election for no reason, needs to be directed instead at the guy who brought the election into his hypothetical. We're presumably not picking the vice president at random to ask this question of.

Yeah, maybe so. It's tough to do.
