Kamala Harris running a damn near flawless campaign, with just a month 1/2 of campaigning. She’s been holding rallies nonstop with Tim Walz & not making her talking points about her race or gender like Hillary. She’s offering expanded healthcare, reinvestments back into public housing, wants to take on corporate greed, protect reproductive rights and chose a pro labor, pro education running mate.

Yet, she’s either barely leading or ties in most polls with a guy that:

Is a convicted felon.

Liable Sexual Predator.

Gets sentenced in November.

Has several more pending cases.

Increased Drone Strikes by 300%. (Joe Biden dosent use drones anymore).

Illegally killed an Iranian General unprovoked with a missle strike.

Increased tensions in Israel/Palestine with the Abraham Accords.

Wants war with Mexico (his words).

Tried to coup Venezuela.

Will bend the knee for Netanyahu’s potential war with Iran.

Lowered the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% (lowest in history).

Obvious tax cuts for the rich.

Told people to drink bleach during the pandemic.

Is the main driving force for America’s current division.

Constantly attacks marginalized groups.

Tried to steal the 2020 election (Find Me 11,000 votes in GA).

Did Fake Elector Slates to pressure Mike Pence to not certify the 2020 election.

Caused a riot on the capitol that lead to his OWN supporters dying.

Just got washed by Harris in the last debate, was completely unprepared on anything but immigration (“I have concepts of a plan”).

And so much more. So seriously what is it? Is it just the attraction to bigotry/racism? Is it to end “wokeness”. Is it because Kamala is a woman of color? You can’t use the both sides argument like Hilary or Biden, Kamala is the obvious better choice. Could you imagine if Kamala had as much baggage as Trump? The media would lose their minds.

Seriously, how the f*** is this guy still in the race?

    Sorry but oop is explicitly not doing identity politics. You have a point but it’s getting lost in your accusations.

      OOP is invoking identity politics here.

        They’re questioning whether or not the other side is bogged down in idpol. The other guy accused them of doing idpol. Big difference. My point isn’t that idpol doesn’t exist obviously it does. Talking about it isnt the same as doing it.

          It is using identity politics as a deflection point here instead of honestly addressing the faults of Harris.

          Swapping the order of the words “it is” and putting a question mark after it does not change its meaning.

            That’s exactly how change of meaning happens, tho. Like that’s literally how we do that.

            Like i said, there is a point here that’s getting lost in accusations. There indeed is a blindspot for Harris’ faults.

            I have no clue why you chose to point at OP’s opinion to claim their thinking is flawed. They clearly have put thought into this post instead of just planning to vote for who has the “right color banner” and are asking for reasons why someone would vote Trump. Why not point out the “slew of baggage” with Harris that would sway you or someone you know to vote for Trump instead of just listing something undistiguishing and then going non sequitur? I’d love to hear it as well tbh.

              OP asked for an explanation of people voting Trump. Most people are explaining it wrong.

              The explanation is that voters just don’t care what their politician has done. They vote for the color and don’t mention their faults.

              What OP does not seem to realize, is that Democrat voters are no different than Republican voters in this selective outrage. So I put a mirror in front to make him understand.
