Election 2024

[Ron in Regina]

Barely a day old, the Kamala Harris campaign boasted a windfall of cash and elite endorsements, as the U.S. Democratic Party apparatus closed ranks around a leader it hopes to make the first female president.

By Monday evening, a sufficient number of party delegates had pledged to support Ms. Harris that she can expect to clinch the party’s nomination, Ms. Harris said, adding that she looking forward to formally accepting the nomination soon.

No other contender for the Democratic nomination has yet to emerge, and political observers said it would be difficult to envisage a senior political figure seeking to challenge Ms. Harris, a woman of Black and South Asian descent who benefits from the considerable expertise and funding of the Biden campaign apparatus.

Kamala shows how democracy has been taken from the people. Appointed from the DNC.

I honestly doubt that Bitch will survive until election day. When she drops in the DNC will get rid of her like a hot potato

Clarification for those who aren't babbling MAGAhat retards: Harris has not been nominated yet, but presumably will, by the same process Biden would have been nominated by.

Harris now has pledges from enough delegates to secure the nomination. Delegates are the ones who get to vote.

Asswit Trumpublicans are stupid, lying, and probably both.

From a Canadian perspective, the more traditional approach to trade and security that Harris represents would be welcomed in Ottawa.

Republican candidate Donald Trump has promised that “retribution” will be central to his presidency and he has no love for Justin Trudeau, whom he has called “a far-left lunatic.” Trudeau has in turn accused Trump of “inciting” the rioters who attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.

There will be a 10 month overlap between Trudeau and whoever wins the US presidency…

The former president has mused about decoupling the U.S. from the global economy and imposing a universal baseline tariff of 10 per cent on all imports, which would be crippling for Canada.

Trump has also indicated he would revive his antipathy towards NATO and encourage Russia to do “whatever the hell they want” with delinquent” nations — of which Canada must rank high on the list, given the Trudeau government has said it will not hit the defence spending target of two per cent of GDP for another eight years. Democrats and Republicans have suggested that this perceived shortfall will have trade implications when the U.S.-Canada-Mexico free-trade agreement comes up for automatic review in 2026.

MNF is always a treat but that will be overshadowed by Hunter’s trial which will only implicate "the big guy". In my opinion its the real reason Joe wont be running.

College kids' understanding of U.S. politics in 'sorry state,' survey says

A new survey asked American college students no-brainer civics questions about history, lawmaking and U.S. governance — and got no-brainer responses.
A new survey asked American college students no-brainer civics questions about history, lawmaking and U.S. governance — and got no-brained responses.
The kids aren’t all right when it comes to understanding how government works.


That’s according to the findings in a new survey that asked American college students no-brainer civics questions about history, lawmaking and U.S. governance — and got no-brained responses.

“Students today are sadly unprepared for participation in our democratic republic, as these results show,” said Bradley Jackson of the American Council of Trustees and Alumni, which administered the 35-question survey dubbed Losing America’s Memory 2.0.

“Our form of government requires citizens who understand its nature and history,” Jackson continued in a news release, per the New York Post. “It should not be possible to get a bachelor’s degree without learning the basics of American history and government, but this is the norm on our college campuses.”



Among the embarrassing findings?

Only 27% of the more than 3,000 young scholars knew that Vice-President Kamala Harris also sits as the Senate’s president — a key role in breaking ties after deadlocked votes. Similarly, only 28% of college kids knew that the 13th Amendment was what ended slavery.

Fear not, as 89% knew that Jeff Bezos runs Amazon.

Despite Donald Trump’s recent impeachment and speculation that Joe Biden could face a similar fate, just 32% of respondents knew such a trial takes place before the Senate.


Only 35% of respondents knew that Louisiana’s Mike Johnson was the Speaker of the House of Representatives and 60% didn’t know the legislative branch’s term limit in years. Just 32% knew that the legislative branch had the power to declare war and nearly half of college students surveyed thought that was the president’s executive authority.

More than half — 51% — thought the Constitution was drafted in 1776 and 44% thought president Thomas Jefferson was the “father of the Constitution,” rather than president James Madison.

“American colleges and universities must step up and take responsibility for this sorry state of affairs,” Jackson said. “They must lead the way toward a renewal of civic education rather than aggravating polarization and flattening our discourse with illiberal ideology.”
