Harris to release medical records as campaign looks to pressure Trump to do the same

I admit I do love it when Trump gets trolled.
(Weirdly, the post title didn't match the headline in the actual link, but the version Lemmy let me click on to make the title works better anyway.)

You could release a doctor's report saying Trump is going to die in 6 months and his plan is to install an unelected leader when he dies and his supporters would just cheer it
If he only needed his supporters to win, he would have won in 2020. I have no idea why people aren't aware of that now.
People voted against however things were because of the pandemic. Trump was in charge, so he caught the general dissatfication with everything.
Now the sting of inflation last year likely has a lot of those same people again upset at how things are and vote for change again, whoever it will be.
Also, 2020 was the most accessible election in history, with so much flexibility for remote voting and so many people not stuck at work unable to find time to vote. The gop has been changing that, locking down absentee voting more, successfully getting voting id laws passed, and reducing early voting sites and hours. People are too busy working at their workplace again, and access to voting is reduced.
Ok? He still needs more than just his supporters to win. If you think his win is inevitable and people shouldn't bother voting, just say so. Otherwise, what is your point?
You do understand the election is a toss-up, don't you?
Yes? Because many of those people are willing to vote for him because they always vote Republican, not because they like him. And they're being shaved off bit by bit. Pointing and laughing has been a help. The whole "weird" thing is infuriating them.
He needs more than his supporters to win, the election is a toss-up, and his supporters are dumping him.
...are you going to tell me he's shifting left, because that would be ludicrous, but seems to be the only way to draw a coherent thread out of what you're saying?
No? I'm telling you that he can't win with just his supporters. Are you suggesting he's definitely going to win and no one should bother voting for Harris? What is the point of this discussion if you aren't?
Let's see...
Guess not.
I understand you said he can't win with just his supporters - you also said he's losing those supporters. Putting aside the fact that people voting for him are definitionally supporters, you understand that those 2 statements clearly imply that there's no need to vote for Harris, right?
My point is that you're all over the place with your talking points - there doesn't seem to be any way to thread them together.
I did not say he was losing supporters.
This is what I said:
I have no idea why you're lying when the comment chain is right there.
Who is the "they" if not people that would vote for Trump, and what do you mean by "shaved off" if you don't mean they won't be voting for him?
This is the third time. What part of this is unclear to you?
Those are not his supporters. There's a difference between voting for someone and supporting them. I didn't support either Clinton or Biden. I voted for them because they weren't Trump.
Would it be fair to rephrase that as the people you've said he needs are abandoning him? What does that suggest about the need for people that oppose Trump to vote?
I don't know how you think lining up to vote for the head of the Republican party isn't supporting both the party and the head of the party, but that nonsensical position is beside the point.
No, it wouldn't be fair to change my words. But I can see why you would want to rather than acknowledge you didn't understand what I was saying.
In that case, I'll rephrase my question.
Would it be fair to rephrase that asShould I take that to mean that the people you've said he needs are abandoning him? What does that suggest about the need for people that oppose Trump to vote?My point the entire time is that what you're saying is nonsense. You're saying he's being abandoned by the people he needs - whether it's his supporters or non-supporters that will line up and support him by voting for him, and in response to me pointing out the election is a toss-up, you're accusing me of suggesting people don't need to turn out to vote and lying.
You see your flagrant hypocrisy and dishonesty here, don't you - or does the same deficiency that undermines your ability to understand the meaning of "support" similarly affect your reading comprehension and/or understanding of basic causality?
