Comment on Seriously, what the f*** is keeping Donald Trump in this presidential race?

  Is it because Kamala is a woman of color?

  Could you imagine if Kamala had as much baggage as Trump?

  It is very clearly selective outrage. Nowhere does OP make a single mention of Kamala being complicit in Genocide or the other slew of baggage she as.

  Both Blue and Red MAGA conveniently ignore every bad thing their candidate does and pretend people hate their candidate for mythical reasons.

  Trumpists will say Liberals hate Trump because “Trump is a straight cis white male” or some other identity politics deflection. Similar to what is done here for Kamala

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

      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?

      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.
