2024 U.S. Presidential General Election Thread

[King Kreole]

Disrespectful af to heckle her while she’s giving a speech. They can protest in peace but being disrespectful to her isn’t the answer.

Again, why aren’t these protesters brave enough to heckle Trump?

Civil disobedience is inherently disrespectful to the powerful. The point is to show how the status quo is even more disrespectful to the powerless. They weren't calling her racial or sexist slurs, they interrupted her speech with political slogans asking her to stop the genocide her administration is supporting.

They're not protesting Trump rallies because Trump isn't even claiming to represent these people or asking for their vote. Kamala is. Same reason people protest shytty police and not criminals.

She's not the first politician to have their speech interrupted by protestors. The same people have been interrupting Biden's public speeches and rallies, that didn't stop him from acknowledging they have a point and saying we all have the same goal while they were being escorted out. No one is saying she should give them the mic, but shutting them down by saying they are agents for Trump is a great way to reactivate the opposition Biden was getting and depress turnout from these people. It's ridiculous, slanderous and actually morally disgraceful. There's a good bet a solid number of them have had family murdered by this genocide.

Where is any factual information in this statement. Oh okay... Next please.

Just sensationalism and bullshyt.

I'd say that response plays well with the vast majority of people who actually vote in elections. I agree that Obama's approach to hecklers is arguably the best of any politician but sometimes you have to shyt on people who are deliberately there to disrupt with zero interest in engagement.

 

[KateFabersBoyfriend]

Nah that’s the perfect response…

Get in formation

Now is not the time for that shyt with what’s on the line.

Vote blue no matter who. Got it.

It’s just not the forum for a heckler to come in and you allow them to be disrespectful. I totally disagree with allowing people to come in and be disrespectful and you just tolerate it so nah breh. Kudos to Kamala on this

See this is where you neo liberals just disgust me. If she would have just stopped the speech pulled up chairs on stage and spent the next hour talking with them, maybe she’d get some additional voters in what’s sure to be a tight race.

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

I think there was better way to handle that. Saying "I hear you and we will address it" would have been better. They won't be avoiding talking about the genocide in Gaza considering they are trying to court those voters.

Nope she addressed it perfect… Later for that respectablilty shyt when it comes to these hecklers and Maga…

 

[King Kreole]

This just makes her look strong and that's what she has to do. She can't be made to look weak as a woman.

I bet people she'll get another bump in ratings because of it. The matter of the heckler is irrelevant. She is at rally making a speech. Protesting Gaza at a campaign rally after they burned American flags is gonna get a bunch of Go fukk Yourself from everyone.

Yeah given the recent moves by the campaign I wouldn't be too surprised if this was the campaign's planned and coached response to try and make more comfortable the pro-genocide Zionists who have been calling her antisemitic for not picking Shapiro and being terse to Netanyahu. She did look quite strong and authoritative telling the protestors to fukk off, and that's a genuinely valuable trait for a female candidate.

 

[the cac mamba]

so the heckler was some Hamas apologist clown? figures

go do that shyt at a trump rally

And let's be real they know Netanyahu already backs Trump given they align on the same shyt politically. Continuing to separate herself from Biden on this has more positives than negatives.

Is this 2020?

 

[Busby]

Vote blue no matter who. Got it.

My nikka

Sometimes I really think about how privileged yall nikkas are. My nikka you keep thinking this shyt is about politics. Politics went out the window as SOON as Trump showed up. And as long as him and his followers are around, I’m gonna do whatever it takes to keep them out of power.

I’m gonna vote for the person that is gonna keep my freedoms intact and not be part of a damn dictatorship.

I understand what’s going on in Gaza is fukked up. BELIEVE me, but the only people i care about is me and MY family HERE in the United States. Aint nobody perfect, but i rather deal with a regular human being who won’t take my freedoms away.

It’s legit night and day…

Folks like yall are the reason we got Trump in the first place.

Get out ur fukking high horses
