Comment on Seriously, what the f*** is keeping Donald Trump in this presidential race?
Fedizen@lemmy.world 5 weeks agoTrump is well known to lie and take every position under the sun and nearby rocks, so saying things like “Trump doesn’t want war” is basically nonsense psychic mind reading. Rather than cherry picking responses it makes more sense to look at a politician’s actions in bulk. eg “What choices do they typically make?”
He bombed Syria, helped Saudi Arabia massacre people in Yemen and bombed an Iranian government official in Iraq in hopes of starting a war with Iran.
Similarly saying “peacefully” once in a speech then following it with 10-20 “fight like hells” and similar over the next 50 minutes isn’t really that convincing of an argument. If I told you to be peaceful once and told you to fight somebody 10-20 times, what would your takeaway be?
A jury convicted Trump, not E Jean Caroll. Her testimony was a piece, but again a jury takes into account things like the fact that he frequently used assaulting women in changing rooms as a routine he employed. He had statements suggesting assaulting women was just normal behavior for a celebrity.
If you want to cherry pick Trump’s history that’s fine, just know that everybody sees you lying to them and will see you as a liar.

Not any different when Democrats say they’d “fight like hell” or any of their other rhetorical phrases. Leftists are just holding themselves to a double standard because they hate Trump so much, they’re blindly supporting Harris. I can’t stand Trump either, but to ignore everything Harris said is ridiculous. She said we don’t have any troops in combat zones, but where is the 101st and the 3rd ID going?
Yep. Harris doesn’t have supporters, she has Trump haters. “Vote blue no matter who”. Went so well with Biden as he was stonewalled from running again after they couldn’t hide his deterioration anymore.
You cherry picked my responses as well, and you can say the same about Biden and Harris/Walz.

I hear a lot of generalities here, but nothing specific.
Which “Leftists” are you talking about? What things are being “ignored” that Harris said? That the 101st is doing training exercises in the EU?
People had 4 years of Trump. He has a record, you can look at it. He’s a lying politician now who made promises and never delivered. And after that debate it looks like the media may have been trying too hard to spin his faults, as they did with Biden.
