Trump appealing to "fairness"?
from Raw News:
"(Trump said) the Democrats staged the first ever “Coup” in America. Crooked Joe Biden was told, “Sorry Joe, you’re losing to Trump, BIG, and you can’t beat him - You’re Fired," he wrote.
"So now, for the first time in American history, I’ll have to beat TWO Candidates, the second being a Radical Left Marxist, Comrade Kamala Harris.
"It’s not fair, perhaps even another form of Election Interference, but the good news is that she should be easier ... to beat than Crooked Joe in that the USA will never allow itself to become a Communist Country. THE DEMOCRATS ARE, “A THREAT TO DEMOCRACY?”
......
So the Dems are a "threat to democracy, because they don't treat Trump "fairly".
But both Trump and Harris are accusing one another of being a "threat to democracy".
Suggests neither knows what democracy is supposed to - or ought to - achieve, since the electorate is split down the middle.
Only one of them has tried to overthrow an election result and was actually a threat to democracy.
And it wasn't Harris.
So why are the polls so close?
Trump has working class support in the rust belt states because of the failure of past Dems policies to fix the rust belt problems.
Hence this comment from the president of UAW:
"I am very confident that Vice President Harris, as president, will have our back, just as she has as vice president," Fain told The Detroit News in a recent interview. "
And I'm very confident that Donald Trump could care less about working-class people. He's a con man."
You'd think Harris would miles ahead in the polls, but working class voters apparently still think Trump can achieve as much or more for them, cf. Harris.
Note: Albo in Oz is increasingly seen as useless for the working man, given the cost of living crisis which Albo can't fix (Labor primary vore is abysmal). The Dems are facing the same issue in the US.
