Without mentioning or referring to Trump, why do you support Harris for president?

[Ethel2]

Good track record. And also, I think it's time we had a colored woman president. Will do us, and the world, a lot of good.

What's wrong with this track record?

The US economy is crushing it compared to other rich countries

That pretty much sums it up. But the truth is that you can’t discuss one candidate without discussing the other in contrast.

Word salad.

Word salad.

How many words can you comprehend at one time then?

So you now resort to passive aggressively insulting me? The problem is, that didn't work either. It's still just babble.

That's basically what happens when MAGA uses the term word salad. It means they aren't able to follow the logic of some statement. Therefore it makes sense to ask if the statement needs simplification.

Would you like me to simplify it for you?

Once again I have nothing. So I must resort to attacking the accuser and all 70 million Trump supporters.

You were the one that admitted you couldnt understand a simple sentence.

 

[Fearandloathing]

I understand why a lot of people are voting against Trump, but I’d like to hear what the reasons are you’re voting for (or generally support, even if you can’t vote) Harris.

Except if I COULD vote?


I would vote for Trump.

Look, at 78 anymore life isn't exactly a major surprise or even a fast heart rate...which I am warned is dangerous.

Trump, with all his amazing and extended faults and issues is the most exciting shit going! What? You think asshole Larry David (anyone with two first names is an asshole) is funny? SNL would be yawn city without The Donald. (Actually it really is)

And shit, here in Canada the suicide rate would sky rocket: no team even near cup ready AGAIN, boring shit like Pierre Poilieve & co, CFL football (yawn) and not one late night TV show!

What the **** would Canadians have to laugh at without the Donald?

Maybe is Justin shaved his head.......

How is it made up? Your words are right there for anyone to read. If you want to have a discussion then bring something of substance to the table. You did the same thing last time you responded to one of my posts. I said it before and I will say it again, you bore me.

You are trying to escape the topic by overreacting and creating a straw man to my pointing out the flaw in your retort of word salad. Even in your most recent post, it’s obvious you are flailing.

 

[Lursa]

I didn't say I didn't understand. I said it was word salad babble, which is what it was.

No, it made sense just fine. So then, you didnt understand it.

You are doing what every Liberal will do. You accuse everyone else the exact same thing you are most guilty of yourself. I have had many conversations with you and all you ever do is spew nonsense.

Are you one of Kammie’s speech writers?

It makes perfect sense when you consider the poster only posts nonsense. It perfectly fits his pattern.

Ahh, now you are moving onto the projection trope. Are you going to accuse me of TDS or whatever else is on your checklist next?

Are you one of Kammie’s speech writers?

Nope. I write complex statements for my own benefit.

 

[----------]

Sure you do.

You attempt to write complex statements because you want to look smart. It doesn’t seem to be working.

You have shown signs of TDS in the past but I wasn’t going to bring it up.

Remember how “TDS” is defined:

“TDS refers to anyone who believes a single word the felon and pathological liar says”.

So let’s use the English language properly.

Judging by your response it’s clear Donald J Trump is living rent free in your head. Let me ask you. If Trump wins will you accept the results? Will Donald Trump then be your president?

The O/P asked that no one mention Trump's name but here they are.... We don't care if Canadians or other foreigners accept who we choose for president. It's none of their business. If they care so much, they should become citizens of this great nation, and cast a vote. Why don't they?

Yep that’s true and yet they keep bringing him up anyway.

They'd be better off sticking to the actual topic, and without mentioning Trump's name, tell us why they support Kamala Harris. Is that really asking too much? It's always the same shit, every forum thread. So yeah, TDS comes to mind.
