2024 Election Follies: dollars and sense

Taichiliberal

Shaken, not stirred!
I recently caught on some posts on another site which harp on the fact that Harris and her husband are millionaires via trust funds, investments, etc. The point was that she is a phony who claims to be for the people but is part of the very economic class that is a common target for people like Bernie Sanders.

Now let's not forget, Trump is of the very same class that these posts dump on Harris about. I seriously doubt that Harris was given $1 million when she grew up and left college, much less came into $400 million within less then 10 years hence. But be that as it may, the one thing in Harris favor is that she does NOT have a business history of hiring people to do construction work, then stiffing them on the paycheck. When sued for compensation, Trump would use his inherited wealth to stall in court until the suing party settled for LESS payment than initially agreed upon. Also, the most damning evidence against Trump's faux populism was during his debate with Hillary in the 2016 race (to which she cheated with leaked crib notes). She pointed out that for years Trump bitched in public that "Chy-Nuh" was "eating our lunch" ... yet he had no problem in using imported Chinese steel in many of his construction endeavors. Trump sneered "so pass a law so I can't do that!"

:whoa:

To me, that should tell even the most devoted Cheeto Jeezus fanatic that THIS MAN DOES NOT GIVE A DAMN ABOUT YOU WITH PREJUDICE! Mind you, the vast majority of politicians in general just give a damn about the donor class, but Trump as a private citizen was of that mindset before entering politics.

Harris is no saint (i.e., some of her actions as AG), but I don't see out & out disregard and contempt for people.

And people wonder why I do write in votes for the POTUS election a lot. :|
 
Harris is notable in that she has not gone after the money, which is just the beginning of the problems for the claims made here.

All BS all the time is how they roll now....sometimes called gaslighting.
 
Harris grew up middle-class. She knows how it is to cook, shop and be aware of finances. She had the worry of health hanging costs over her family.She knows what the people go through. She went to school with poor people and knows their problems. Trump has never shopped, pumped gas, or even driven a car. He has lived a very spoiled rich kid's life.
 
it's simply obfuscation

we only have to look back a few years to see who those that work for a living need to support

during covid, did your politician argue for mandatory solutions? lock downs? school closings? narc hotlines? Or did they stress that we can't let the solution be worse than the problem?

Walz and Harris should not be in charge of anything!

but he has the right policies.

Harris has wallstreet globalist beliefs, despite being less wealthy than trump.

policy is what matters, doofy.

This is what has fascinated me for the last 30 some odd years with the various incarnations of fringe/extreme conservative politics (silent majority, neocon, teabagger, fibbertarian, maga, alt-right)! The voters that supported the Bush family and Trump were voting for the very "elites" that they decried! The Bush family were originally wealthy new Englanders, Trump was born wealthy in New York. The mental disconnect needed to think either would be working in the best interest of the people they wipe their feet on is amazing!

... but you haven't seen anything like that here on JPP, right?

Yep, those are really nasty hypocrites at that other site.

I seriously doubt that Harris was given $1 million when she grew up and left college,
I seriously doubt Donald Trump ever slept his way to the top of any organization.

To me, that should tell even the most devoted Cheeto Jeezus fanatic that THIS MAN DOES NOT GIVE A DAMN ABOUT YOU WITH PREJUDICE!
You learned this from hypocrites on another site?

Mind you, the vast majority of politicians in general just give a damn about the donor class, but Trump as a private citizen was of that mindset before entering politics.
I can't tell you how disappointed I am. You are using hypocrites on another site as reason JPP posters should believe that you are omniscient.

Since you can read minds, of what numerical value am I thinking?

Harris is no saint
Saints don't normally sleep with the Pope to become a saint.

(i.e., some of her actions as AG), but I don't see out & out disregard and contempt for people.
... except when she gave all of We the People the finger anytime all We the People wanted was for her to elaborate on her positions.

And people wonder why I do write in votes for the POTUS election a lot.
I don't think anybody wondered this.

Nope. You're going to twist and contort reality in order to effect your virtue signaling.

with the various incarnations of fringe/extreme conservative politics (silent majority, neocon, teabagger, fibbertarian, maga, alt-right)!
There is no such thing as the alt-right. You have fabricated all of these bogey-men.

The voters that supported the Bush family and Trump
Bush and Trump are not of the same politics. You are your own reducio ad absurdum.

were voting for the very "elites" that they decried!
Leftists decry the "rich" and the elitest "ruling class" ... and then vote for them anyway.

The Bush family were originally wealthy new Englanders, Trump was born wealthy in New York.
You are chopping yourself off at the knees. You are the one who bashes on wealthy elites ... but only if they are opponents of the the DNC ... otherwise you support them and vote for them.
