It feels like Harris has to run a damn near flawless campaign just to BARELY beat this guy. Yeah you can bring up the current state of the country, but Trump mishandled COVID, there were over 200k deaths, BLM protest and was 2x impeached. And yet, Joe Biden BARELY beat him.

Trump is a convicted felon, liable sexual predator, caused an insurrection on the Capitol Hill, tried to steal the 2020 election (find me 11,000 votes), constantly kisses Russia’s ass, has more pending court cases and gets sentenced next month and overall has been the main driving factor in America’s division.

Yet, this race is STILL either 50/50 or a slight tilt (Harris leads the polling aggregate right now). Harris gets destroyed by the corporate media for almost anything, yet Trump is still lying and saying the most outlandish shit and nobody cares.

Why does it feel standards are much higher for Harris than Trump?

    I don’t care how much worse anyone threatens to be. Genocide is the red line. There’s no “worse” than Genocide.

    One Genocides or a hundred Genocides doesn’t matter. Support one Genocide and it’s morally Joever.

      Right. As we already agreed, you consider 99 extra genocides to be great. So you are pretending 100 is the same as 1 in attempt to achieve the former. Extremely privileged take.

        Yes I will be complicit in exactly 0 Genocides only.

        Supporting a Genocide now that’s a privileged take.

          You are complicit in the 99 extra genocides given all the effort you are putting into deterring everyone from voting. It’s disgusting that you love genocide so much you want Thiel’s handpicked VP in there helping.

            Nobody is responsible for actions of others this is trolley problem 101. Only by participating do you become responsible. Especially if the action could not be done without you.

              You are on here all day every day trying your best to make sure Donald wins. You sure as fuck are participating. You are doing it because you love genocide. If they are able to get in office and find Thiel more targets to genocide you will be happy knowing you were a part.

                  That’s FPTP. You know one of two things will happen. You want the one with as much genocide as possible.

                    If you don’t understand the voting system works on pressuring political parties into doing stuff for votes don’t talk about it.

                    FTFP is a strawman for people who don’t understand politics.
