I'm sorry, how does Trump improve any of the issues you describe?
He doesn't, neither does Kamala...
So why get mad at someone who's line isnt the same place as yours?
You can tell at them to throw their morals out the window, or unite with them and demand just a little more than the bare minimum you would accept
Why is no one allowed to ask for anything more than your bare minimum? And why would you risk trump to not help get more?
I don't logically understand your position, I understand what it is, just not why it's your position.
Can you elaborate on how this:
Isn't applicable to you wanting people to ignore genocide? In some cases where it's literally their close family over there as the victims?
Then why even have this argument?
How about we swing this double edged sword the other way? Why try to alienate women who lost their rights with the overturning of Roe v. Wade because of Trump's supreme court appointments? Or what about every LGBTQ+ person in the US who is trapped at the edge of their seats because members of the supreme court have stated they'd like to revisit Obergefell v. Hodges, too?
How about all of the kids who are shot to death at school because of unchecked gun proliferation that Trump's party has blocked attempts to regulate? Or people who are drowning to death in medical and student debt that Trump blocked attempts to solve, while he just has a "concept of a plan" that no one is able to describe?
Or maybe we can look at his previous presidency, when his hateful rhetoric caused sharp rises in hate speech and crimes committed against people of color and the socially vulnerable? The rise in white supremacist/domestic terrorist groups? The election denialism that resulted in January 6? The complete and utter failure to properly manage the Covid-19 pandemic that led to the preventable deaths of millions?
The threat of fascism literally looming over our heads and being told none of that matters because Kamala is no different from Trump in my specific hand-picked list of issues, that's what I take issue with.
If someone is not willing to do the bare minimum to keep him out of power because they don't see a reason to vote for Kamala, I have a long list of less-kind words I'd love to say if I didn't believe in trying to maintain civility online.
Because if instead of spending time and effort trying to convince voters to lower their morals...
We'd be better off uniting to hold Kamala to a higher standard, because then we'd stop trump, and get more of what we want.
I'm not sure what's confusing about this.
Goodness you are a speed reader, replying within 2 minutes and acknowledging the very first sentence I wrote.
I am literally holding Kamala to a higher standard. Everything I wrote is the standard that anyone with half a braincell and respect for their fellow man should understand. Anyone who does not is not worth being pandered to.
That's literally the opposite of what you did and that last reply was just insults....
Have fun acting like that, if you're wondering why more and more people stop replying, it's because they're blocking you because of how you behave.
You'll forgive me for being a bit passionate when trying to justify the fact that I deserve to be alive when people are trying to buy and sell my rights during each election cycle, and I am tired of having this debate over and over again with bad-faith actors.
