Comment on Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election?

BallsandBayonets@lemmings.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

People who would ever consider voting for the Toupee have no standards. No bar, no logic or even thought goes in to who they vote for.

The people who are planning to vote against the Toupee have standards. And the Democratic party has continually failed to meet those standards. And the only time the people have any power to pressure a politician is when they’re running for office. Anyone claiming “just vote in the D, then we can focus on getting progress made” is a centrist who is ok being perpetually part of the oppressed class.

Yes, we need to vote against the Toupee, and the GOP in general. We also need a presidential administration who will get progress done. And since the human species has, at best, 30 years left before the majority of the world is uninhabitable, little baby steps won’t cut it.

So Harris and the Dems have a high bar. Because the alternative is fascism, or death by climate change.

Well if that isn’t just the dumbest thing I’ve ever read.

Your entire comment is written like Biden and Harris are not currently complicit in Genocide.

    Scream at everyone on a small niche internet forum who says anything about politics without mentioning the thing everybody already knows about

    That assumes this poster has a goal to stop the genocide. ;)

    Yeah, the vast majority of the “genocide” screamers are Trump supporters trying to demotivate left leaning folks from voting Democratic.

  This poster doesn’t care one whit about the plight of Palestinians. It has but one goal – to be the nerdy girl that helps peel votes off the votes from the nerdy guy so her friend, the jerkish cheerleader favoured by the Jocks, can win the SGA election 49 to 48 to 3 (I’ve posted this example of how government works in First Past the Post if you’d like to understand what I mean by nerd girl and cheerleader in SGA). The purpose of this poster and others like it is to throw the election to Trump so we’re subjected to Project 2025, which incidentally aligns with Putin’s and Xi’s goals.
  
  Please think carefully before you listen to this poster or any other like it.

    Linkerbean, you have always been, and always will be, a Trump supporter masquerading as a leftwinger. You are here for one purpose only: to stop leftwing folks from voting.

That would add up if you thought people should choose fascism or death from climate change over some sense of chance.

We need to make larger demands, but voting for those options you listed shouldn’t be 50/50 as the post is questioning.
