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

  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.

      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.

        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.

        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.
