Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election?
It feels like Harris has to run a damn near flawless campaign just to BARELY beat this guy. Yeah you can bring up the current state of the country, but Trump mishandled COVID, there were over 200k deaths, BLM protest and was 2x impeached. And yet, Joe Biden BARELY beat him.
Trump is a convicted felon, liable sexual predator, caused an insurrection on the Capitol Hill, tried to steal the 2020 election (find me 11,000 votes), constantly kisses Russia’s ass, has more pending court cases and gets sentenced next month and overall has been the main driving factor in America’s division.
Yet, this race is STILL either 50/50 or a slight tilt (Harris leads the polling aggregate right now). Harris gets destroyed by the corporate media for almost anything, yet Trump is still lying and saying the most outlandish shit and nobody cares.
Why does it feel standards are much higher for Harris than Trump?
Literally supports Genocide lmfao. Was Adolf Hitler running a flawless campaign too?
What about trump? Pretty sure he’s just glass Gaza if he had a chance.
Did OP say Trump is running a flawless campaign somewhere too?
So you could link us to your screechings about Repubs supporting genocide in all of the threads about Donald?
You don't seem to care when Republicans support Genocide either.

Oh fuck, you're actually self aware of what the alternative to the Dems will be. And you still want it to happen.
You think Peter Thiel is not using AI to do target selection in Gaza right now?
So you want his hand-picked VP in there to ensure it is done more thoroughly. And in Ukraine. And in the US.
I don't care how much worse anyone threatens to be. Genocide is the red line. There's no "worse" than Genocide.
One Genocides or a hundred Genocides doesn't matter. Support one Genocide and it's morally Joever.
Right. As we already agreed, you consider 99 extra genocides to be great. So you are pretending 100 is the same as 1 in attempt to achieve the former. Extremely privileged take.
Yes I will be complicit in exactly 0 Genocides only.
Supporting a Genocide now that's a privileged take.
You are complicit in the 99 extra genocides given all the effort you are putting into deterring everyone from voting. It's disgusting that you love genocide so much you want Thiel's handpicked VP in there helping.
Nobody is responsible for actions of others this is trolley problem 101. Only by participating do you become responsible. Especially if the action could not be done without you.
Trump also supports genocide. Nobody who doesn't can possibly win.
If this is your line then you should probably just never vote ever, because this won't ever change.
Stop pretending Harris is running a flawless campaign and ButTrUmP when the stupid lie gets debunked.
I'm not pretending that. I'm pointing out that the official policy of the US since before my parents were born has been to support Israel no matter what, and if that was going to change because anybody cared what was happening to Palestinians it would have changed decades ago.
So you need to accept that the country you live in will do heinous shit that you loathe and there's nothing you can do about it.
You need to accept that anyone enabling it is responsible. Anyone voting Democrat or Republican is complicit in Genocide and should face tribunals.
There was ignorance in the past. Everyone voting D now knows they will support Genocide and do so willingly
Wow dude, do you live in a make believe world where anyone who you don't agree with gets the French razor?
Saying anyone who supports either side should face a tribunal is insane and completely idiotic.
I hope one day you can learn just because you have such a high radical leaning and believe death is deserved upon all who disagree with your ideology, doesn't mean that it should be done.
Linkerbaan isn't a rational person, nor participating in good faith. Their entire existence is arguing with people online and accusing people of loving genocide.
I've started to wonder if it's even a real person. They don't respond with any measure of logic or awareness to anything at all, just "liberals want genocide!!" over and over.
If they are a real person, then their existence is just plain sad. Spending that much time arguing online achieving absolutely nothing at all besides making everybody dislike them and causing harm to others.
Right, like “hey I’m going to post insulting and repetitive tripe and empty slogans, and make Lemmy worse after lunch today!” Great. Also, as countless people have pointed out, if they care so passionately about Palestinians, their activities are contrary to helping Palestine so…
Ahh, I love you, bro. This place is wild, ain't it? If one doesn't fall in line to their militant liberal agenda, you're ignorant MAGA scum.
I'm just glad to see someone else here trying to talk some sense.
Stay strong my man/woman. We had red MAGA in 2016 now we also have Blue MAGA. The death cult grows fast.
The divisiveness is insane and scary. So many feel such a devotion to "their side." They don't realize these politicians love getting them all riled up and emotional about an issue so that they will fight for their political agenda with passion. And they just sit back and laugh.
I’m pretty doubtful the luminary you replied to lives in or has ever even been to the US.
They appear to be from the Netherlands, or a similar European country. TrickDacy pointed out their time zones of activity aren't based in the US, and the name Linkerbaan stems from Dutch.
Which begs the question, why do they care so much about bashing politicians in a country across the ocean, and why only ever Biden/Harris in particular? Linkerbaan, to this day, never answers why he doesn't ever attack Trump for being even worse than Biden or Harris ever would be for Gaza. It's almost like he doesn't really care about what's good for the people of Gaza, and just wants to push an agenda.
inb4 I get called an evil genocidal Zionist maniac, because Linkerbaan always does this when called out or someone disagrees with him: I fully support Gaza and the Palestinians, and absolutely despise the Israeli government and Hamas. Nothing about the Gaza situation is remotely acceptable and the Biden administration should do better. However, refusing to admit Donald "Finish the Job" Trump isn't the worse option is ignorant at best and actively harmful for the Palestinians at worst.
