What about the average gal, eh? What about the average non-binary ? No I meant the average gal Harris who probably doesn't even have access to $1 billion. Or President Harris as you will soon be calling her. I notice Trump calling for Biden & other Reps demanding that Biden resign immediately. Was wondering if they had thought that through, who would then become President in his place? Really, Trump asking for his money back for spending it on the wrong person. Its Putin who will be on the phone to him demanding a refund.

Well, didn't she raise some tens of millions in the first 24 hours? Good luck to a regular hairdresser or car mechanic managing that necessary feat. So you think she's gonna win? Have there been any polls since Biden resigned ?

Have there been any polls since Biden resigned ? There is a poll, but there is going to be a Harris bounce for a few weeks which will probably be not reflective of opinion come November. The Democrats are pretty giddy about their new nearly-nominee but apparently she is prone to coming out with similar word soup to The Donald, so best to wait and see what people think after she actually says something.

I hate Harris she comes across as racist, and uses a lot of the usual idiot phrases.
however I've just remembered that last year I had £10 on her at 25-1 to win
just had £2 on Vance at 109-1

Trump has the fastest healing ears in medical history but on the downside

I have a feeling that Biden is more ill than we've been told, no interviews nothing

Ive seen similar suggestions from some Democrats to give Kamala some impetuous as the President

I have a feeling that Biden is more ill than we've been told, no interviews nothing the statement at the time of his withdrawing was that he was going to make a speech on Thursday. Doing that from memory.

Well she raised it AFTER having been VP AND become the democratic nominee. If a car mechanic or a hairdresser were attempting the same feat, they wouldn't be doing so in the role of a car mechanic or a hairdresser. Obviously. So its a ridiculous false equivalence.

Ive seen similar suggestions from some Democrats to give Kamala some impetuous as the President The democrats would like to get Harris in place as president before the election for some impetuous and I have heard it is easier for the funding to be transferred. Therefore Trump calling for this to happen means he can say I told you Biden's problems are a lot worse than been told to the public and you have ended up with an unelected president.

Surely you aren't you making argument here that the US system isn't skewed in favour of the very wealthy ?

Surely you aren't you making argument here that the US system isn't skewed in favour of the very wealthy ? No, it most definitely is skewed to the wealthy, and indeed the very wealthy. But as that wasn't a point your comment was actually making, it wasn't something I was challenging. However, FWIW, Joe Biden is thought to have net assets of around $10m (as far as I can tell). That is really not in the "very wealthy" category, certainly by US standards. And the bulk of that is via value in two homes. And Harris's and her husbands net worth is around $8m, and a lot of that has come from his work as a lawyer in the entertainment industry. Keir Starmer's net worth might be somewhere around £10-15m (or a bit less), which if adjusted for relative UK-US wealth is even higher in relative terms. I think we all know that Rishi Sunak is so poor that his parents couldn't afford Sky television. So while over here we all think that US politics is horribly skewed by money, actual wealth of some of those even at the top is not exactly eye popping. I doubt you'll find many car mechanics or hairdressers in either country that can announce on on a Tuesday that they are running for Prime Minister/President and then rake in £50m overnight. Kind of not how it works.

Kind of not how it works. So you are making that argument or are you just arguing for the sake of it ? I suspect the latter which is good as otherwise it would be boring around here. You picked Sunak as your example who you well know is probably from the richest family the UK has ever had. What about Gordon Brown and Theresa May - the latter was 2M during office presumably most of it due to her house in Maidenhead. But why are we arguing about whether it would be easier for a poorer person in the UK to become PM than his equivalent in the US to make president? Why? See above....
