that is what communist governments do, steal patents and destroy companies.
No companies are being destroyed, and neither America, where apparently that practice is legal (I hadn't heard that that was a thing previously), nor Harris are communistic or communists.
You're not going to get very far with that trope outside of MAGA circles, but I don't think that matters to you, since it should be obvious to you that it resonates with other MAGA but not with liberals, centrists, or moderate conservatives - just conservative extremists.
Nobody who is actually worried about dictators and authoritarianism is going to move from Harris to Trump, but maybe a few undecideds will be won over by that if it becomes a campaign issue.
Do you like having these life saving drugs? We will have less of them if this is done.
You're wrong.
We pay much less for pharmaceuticals here in Mexico than Americans pay, and you know that nobody involved from manufacturer to pharmacy is working at a loss.
Incidentally - and I hope you don't mind me saying so - the proper word is "fewer" (drugs) or any other countable noun. Uncountable nouns get "less." Chair is a countable noun, as with four chairs around the table, and three is fewer chairs, not less chairs. Contrariwise, furniture is an uncountable noun. You can't have four furnitures. And removing that chair results in fewer chairs but less furniture.
Do we not have the right to question her and her policies?
Sure you do. And she has the right to answer or to evade the question.
Dictators do not get elected nor do they answer questions from the people.
They often begin by being elected.
But you just can't make the case that Harris is a dictator or won't discuss her policies. It's up to her how much time she wants to take from campaigning to give press conferences.
Why can't any talk about Harris's positions without bring up Trump? Are her positions only good because Trump is bad?
I wasn't talking about her position when I mentioned Trump. I was referring to the double standards of the right. We see that Trump and Trump supporters don't care about democracy or Harris' policies except to try to find something to smear her with much as a creationist doesn't care about science unless they think it can be used against a perceived enemy, other science.
You support a man who has contempt for democracy, the law, the truth the military, and the police, yet here you are trying to make the case that Harris is a dictator. That's was his name was introduced into this thread. It's not whataboutism. It's about the difference between a dictator wannabe and a woman that you want to brand as such. Big difference.
Biden was forced because the dems knew he couldn't win
There is zero evidence that Biden was forced out, and no mechanism for that anyway. If he wanted to be running, he would be. What it appears actually happened is that great man made a personal sacrifice and put country ahead of himself. Others exhorted him to make that move, but it was his choice to make.
But you prefer to depict is as something unsavory.
not because he was incapacitated
The right and the media had successfully demeaned Biden to the point that even the left was increasingly disillusioned about him and saw him as cognitively impaired for appearing frail in the debate even as Trump was ranting about sharks and cannibals while slurring his words and confusing people for one another. How quickly they forgot that only a few months earlier, that same man hit it out of the ballpark in his State of the Union address.
But that bit them in the bottom, didn't it? Suddenly, they have to face a new candidate, and only theirs is old, feeble, and confused.
That is thwarting the vote of the people in the dem party. That happened.
Your "concern" about Democratic voters being disenfranchised is misplaced.
For starters, the left is ecstatic about the switch - not complaining that their votes didn't count. That is evident from the polls, from all the new voter registrations (they like her better than Joe and now want to vote), the outpouring of contributions mostly from small donors and many first-time donors, and the huge number of people signing up to volunteer for her. That's how you vote for a candidate when the primary elections are over.
And if there's anybody out there that is disappointed that Harris has become the nominee and would prefer to vote for Joe than Kamala, they can write him in. Your claim that this is undemocratic is empty on that count as well.
Yes, by force, you lower your prices or we will take the patent from you. That sound like democracy in action
I guess you don't know what democracy is. A democratic government can take much more than that from you as Trump is discovering.
What makes this democratic is that if it legal to do what she proposes, it's because democratically elected legislators wrote the laws. If she becomes president, that will be democratic as well. And if she uses that too as president, that is here prerogative, because voters gave her the ability.
Can you focus on Harris's policies?
I've covered that. I told you immediately in my first post that I supported them and why. If you have more questions for me, fire away.
The more interesting topic is why you dragged this out. It's from 2019 and to my knowledge hasn't been part of her campaign. Also, why you think that this approach of trying to depict Harris as a Communist or wannabe dictator will do anything but give people like me a chance to make counterarguments that are more powerful that yours while reflecting badly on you.
You can't malign good people to other good people and expect not to look bad in so doing. I assure you that the attacks on Harris and Walz make those who bring them look bad to good people. Do you really want to be one of them? Do you recall the public reaction to Trump calling fallen soldiers suckers and losers? Did you see how Vance's misogynistic cat woman comment was received? Or Noem's reception when the shooting the dog story was told? Or RFK Jr.'s fall in likeability for that dead bear stunt?
People like Kamala, women with cats instead of children, dogs, and juvenile bears, but not the people who disrespect them. People like Kamala, and you defame her at your own risk.
