Spotless is a gross way to describe her career as a prosecutor.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 week ago (25 children)

Don't know why you're being downvoted, Harris isn't perfect but with Trump on the other side not much is required of her to be the best option.

"Pedophile" is missing from the trump one...

Are there really many voters undecided between Harris and Trump?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 week ago

sadly yes. there are people who are still on the fence. given that 70million people will look the other way and vote for him despite the lies, dementia, racism, Facism, Nazism, narcissism, sexism, felonies, fraud, racketeering, sexual harassment, etc. I'm not surprised a few million are on the fence.

Naw there's just a bunch of people who won't admit they're voting for Trump when you ask them. They also don't want their friends/community thinking they're voting for a Democrat either so they just lie and say they're undecided or even more likely Independent™ because that sounds cool anyway. They know they're voting for a fascist but also want to have their cake too and not publicly admit it.

They may not even want the fascist part. But they're voting for Trump because they think one day they'll make over $500k/yr and they don't want to pay "200% more taxes" (it's actually 2%) when that day inevitably comes. The rest of them secretly would rather kill their children than let a black woman run our country, but they'd never say it.

Statistically, that's just not true. Just look at the differences from the polls, the margin between Harris and Trump has moved quite some percentage points back and forth. E.g. after RFKs endorsement, more undecided voters went to Trump and after the debate, more went back to Harris.

I have a friend who voted for Trump and now he is undecided. Now he is saying he isn't voting for anyone. I guess that's better than voting for Trump. He lives in AZ. So that is sorta a win.

Undecided voters are the dumbest people on the face of the Earth.

He's not a Nazi; he's a fascist. Nazi refers to a specific political party. Fascist is more general.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago

The distinction between a "real" Nazi and a Hitler fanboy is too fine to matter.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 week ago

If he walks like a nazi, talks like a nazi and acts like a nazi. He's a fucking nazi.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He wants to be Hitler, so that's close enough for me.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

Oh, I'm not saying he's any better than a Nazi. Just being pedantic.

The main difference, as I understand, is that national socialism is inherently racist and puts the (Aryan) race on top of the ideology, everything else must submit to the benefit of the (Aryan) race, whereas fascism puts the benefit of the state on top.

https://historyplex.com/difference-between-fascism-nazism

Trump, as far as I can judge from beyond the pond, is still claiming to put the state, or the United States of America, first, like a fascist would do. His hate speech against immigrants still serves the narrative of them being bad for the US, not of them being disadvantageous towards the benefit of the Aryan race.

not to be in support of trumb, but if someones records are spotless that is inherently suspicious to me. is she even allowed to run for president if she hasn't visited a sex trafficker?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Her record isn’t spotless, but when you compare someone to trump it might as well look spotless because the context of trump makes it look so clean

I’m not fully knowledgeable about her record since I have more pressing things to worry about rather than researching harris, but as a queer person, I am aware of some of her shortcomings regarding queer rights.

She has explicitly tried to prevent trans people from receiving gender affirming care when in prison and challenged a ruling in favor of a transwoman to do so.

Source: (washington blade)

She also supported trans women in men’s prisons which is an extra horrific experience for a trans person, since queer people are generally more likely to be assaulted, raped, and sexually assaulted in prison. Trans women in men’s prisons have it the worst.

This happened in the past, but with her not explicitly making trans rights a campaign issue in the face of how much discrimination they are currently facing, it is concerning.

Virtual tie 😩

Ignoring everything else here prosecutor is a net negative and "Felon" isn't a bad thing necessarily. If you want to you can criticize Trump without propping up law enforcement.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Okay but in this case, felon is a bad thing because the crimes trump has been convicted of are serious offenses that should make him ineligible to even be president.

trump wasn't convicted on 1 or 2 charges that were pushed on him by racist fascist pigs. He is the racist fascist pig. Who was convicted of scores of felonies.

It is a bad thing. Necessarily.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Yes trumps crimes were bad no argument from me. It's just so many of these felon vs prosecutor memes and similar things really play into demonization of "felons" as a whole.
