There is no way in hell Trump will do that. And that’s the point, rather than falling into his frame and bickering, she’ll look so much more mature while he constantly tries to bait her. Of course her campaign and allies will still be attacking him.

- there is such a thing as mutual interest - there were many historical civilizations with had limited contact with others and they all had varying rates and levels of development

Democrats aren’t entitled to anyones vote.

But it took him a month and only after a huge amount of pressure

It’s a different kind

Hillary’s entire campaign was bashing Trump and she lost. Biden’s campaign was “build back better” and won. Trump is criticized by almost everyone else non stop. The dem based is as riled up as they can be. What independents want is something to aspire to and a uniting figure. a huge portion of independents think Trumps charges are politically motivated https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/plurality-americans-trumps-guilty-verdict-correct-hush-money/story?id=110744698 Kamala already has the democratic base, she needs to focus on appealing to everyone else, and they don’t want to hear “I’ll send trump to jail” 24/7

I think Kamala should just not attack Trump and focus entirely on delivering a positive message so we only hear hopeful things from her, leave attacking Trump to everyone else. Polls show Trump still has a lead over her https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2024/president/us/general_election_trump_vs_harris_vs_kennedy_vs_stein_vs_west-8510.html A inspiration focused campaign would be something new and potentially gain ground. Just non stop roasting Trump has been happening since 2015 and I don’t think is moving any needles at this point.

Well you aren’t really arguing it well. I don’t think western interference is the only reason why other countries have less development, but in some cases it can be.

Yes, imagine when they can make realistic sex bots, you can talk to them with realistic AI, and you can use VR to make them look like anyone or act out any fantasy, it will sap peoples desire for real relationships entirely. The only way for humanity to continue is for the government to use artificial wombs to grow new people.

Hezbollah is still much smaller than the IDF and Israel can just pressure the US to give even more support. A bigger issue is turning an entire generation of the Middle East against them more than ever before possibly leading to conflict with multiple major powers again decades down the line. Their plan for that is not going to end well

The US supported Saudi Arabia spreading Wahhabism, funding Islamists in Afghanistan and Syria, and extremism increased in rebellion to Israel winning the six day war and occupying Palestine with US support

Islamic fundamentalism regained popularity in large part because of western interventionism

But the Middle East had higher development than the west during the Islamic golden age, and their countries have very valuable resources like oil

The issue for any dem now is if they think Kamala will lose and challenge her but lose, if she goes on to lose they may be blamed for it and if they try to run in the future people will say they had their shot and lost. It makes more sense to just not challenge her and let her lose then they can swoop in after that with a much better shot next cycle.

You know what would be nuts but smart, RFK Jr. reregisters as a Democrat and challenges Kamala at the convention. He’ll lose but if he uses the opportunity to bring up his more progressive proposals while all eyes are on him he can pull some dem voters with him when he returns to his independent run.

How many economics books have you read?

That makes no sense, being a VP basically guarantees a future nomination if he seeks it. I get why Kamala is in the conversation despite arguably being a weaker choice (everyone already knows her so she has less room to improve and is also losing to trump in polls) but I don’t know why everyone brings up Newsom, he is deeply hated by a lot of the country and comes across unlikable and slick. Infamously he once starred in a pro gay marriage ad and polls actually found people became less favorable to it after the ad came out because he was so unlikable. Any popular dem governor team especially if they’re from a swing state would easily beat Trump. If it’s Kamala or Newsom it is unclear who will win.

If no one chose to oppose him, that is different. Obama wisely waits until the nominee is decided before entering the campaign.

It’s not fair and square because there were no debates and some states like Florida cancelled the primary. Both candidates you mentioned said themselves they were blocked from a fair contest. Had they had debates this whole thing would have been avoided and they’d have had months more to focus on campaigning against Trump by the way.
