Stephen A. Smith: Harris must 'fight back' against Trump

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/stephen-a-smith-harris-must-fight-back-against-trump/ar-AA1pGyXK

I know sas can be annoying, but he has a way to boil down the issues. This is where Harris needs to step it up, no more Ms. Nice Lady.

Stephen A Smith :It does not matter



Lok, I am happier than anyone at the way Harris seems to have revived us, but we have to remember the dirty tricks, lies and outright partisanship of the center-to right media has not stopped. We will not have crossed the finish line till November at te very least, to say nothing of the outright insurrection and Russian Intervention we will likely see. This is NOT fear and doom,it is a warning that we will have to play the tortoise to Trump's hare.

Let's keep our eyes on the prize

Yes, Trump has looked like a mess these past few days, but keep in mind, to many of his voters, what look to us as disasters might be Hallelujahs to them. Until we get past the finish line, and until we get past those Supreme court hoodlums, we do not count this as a won race. This is a fight we can win, but we will need to go the full 12 rounds.

could a democrat try to force Kamala out?

I understand we need to get one hundred percent behind Harris, period. However, in light of the fact that some have done backstabbing worthy of Shakespeare, are there any Democrats who will try to push her side? It does not help that she is black and female, and just as some people tried to use race to shove Obama aside, they might try a trick worthy of the old PUMAS.

Before you say "no one would be that crazy to do that!" Remember we said the same thing about Biden. I know RFK will try, but he has no traction.

If you are sincere about fixing things, you must be honest

The point of this post is not to vilify anyone; on both sides of the divide, there are heroic people trying to stop the violence. A larger portion of people are people just trying to live thier lives, and that applies to the Jacobs, Mustafas, Rebeccas and Aishas who right now are dealing with people trying to use their corpses for pawns. And yes, we can agree that those in charge have a vested interest in making corpses, because it keeps the same struggle going on, so that they do not have to worry about things like being competent, compassionate leaders.

And whoever in the back is screaming "but my person is good the other guys are the bad guys!" are the exact example of the problem. The fact is, BOTH SIDES have done truly horrible things, gladly risking the lives of children, at times using children as pawns and ammo.

BOTH Sides have gotten people involved using threats, whether it is the arabs or the jews who yell at Biden saying "we will not vote for you, despite the fact they both know that would arm people who either want to kill them, or at the very least force their children to convert to Christianity. Don't thing for one moment that is not the endgame of most GOP. Do not think that those encouraging scapegoating Biden are not looking to pit one D voting bloc against another D voting bloc, so all the Christian soldiers can stomp into the voting booth and dominate.

So, what am I saying? If you want to fix the problem, first, you must take steps to tell both Yusuf and Rebecca that you will have a PLAN to STOP whoever renegs on any ceasefire. Sadly, there are those who will immediately rush to defends whoever is the first to start killing, even if they yelled at you saying "my people can be trusted, and you are a bigot if you do not believe it!" . these are the same people that will yell "but they deserved it!" Who can do this? Ideally the UN, but they have become useless lately, all the same if it take Un Blue Helmets pulling people apart, then let it be done. and if Beijing, Moscow and or Washington throw spanners in that, as they often use the UN as a toy, then let them be thrown out of the un! If either side of Jerusalem trues to, hell, when both sides of jerusalem try that, then we will need people to attack THEM, not yell at Biden and say "we wont vote for you because you do not want to let us kill their babies before they kill our babies.

If you are not willing to speak against your friends when they do wrong, and if you are not ready and willing to take steps to ensure all are safe even the people you do not like, YOU ARE FEEDING THE PROBLEM, and your grandchildren will have every right to HATE YOU.

PS: anyone can die and kill for their country, the very cockroaches do that for their nest. The real heroes are those who make it possible for people to LIVE
