One side's supporters partook in the education system while the other went to church?
They're accustomed to gibberish...
I hate to be a downer, but "it's not fair" doesn't really matter at this point. Trump continues to gain, and he's babbling incoherently most days and being quite clear that he plans to be a fascist from day one. Whether it's fair or not, there's is a huge double standard. If Harris does anything wrong she loses support. Trump daily explains gleefully how he's going to take away civil rights, begin mass deportations, purge the federal government and fill it with loyalists, and on, and on, and on, and on, and he's been slowly but steadily gaining support for a month.
Is there a huge, glaring double standard? Yes, absolutely. Does it matter for the blunt reality of the upcoming election? No, not at all.
People know it's a vote for or against the constitution. Voting for Trump means Civil War. Harris has to be better than that. A lot of people want to kill their neighbors right now.
"Not supporting genocide" is a pretty low bar for perfect.
Better just let the genocidal fascist win I guess vOv
First they came for the Muslim and you did nothing cause they were not you.
R and D killing Americans for a foreign power.
R is wanting to come directly for the Americans as soon as trump becomes president while D is still wondering how to distance themselves enough from the current genocide to just keep profiting from the far away war.
Are both options not good? Yes, but one is CLEARLY much much much worse than the other (it's the R one, if it isn't clear enough). With D you can at least talk and slow down the horrible shit which gives you time to work with third party politicians to actually improve stuff, while with R they will just add you to their hit list and you'll get screwed a million times over. Under a D government you can actually work on improving shit and getting third party candidates in, under a R government you'll be lucky if you can still vote for the next election
The dead don't care, only those that survive. Muslim communities are on one side of that line and you the other.
Those in this article are literally giving their lives for you, you ungrateful fuck.
nearly perfect anyway
Trump is targeting mostly far-right evangelicals who have a common vision on what they want the country to look like. He has a lot of energy when doing so, and because of how similar their interests are he could get away with all sorts of stuff and they would still vote for him.
Harris (and Democrats in general) is the only alternative mainstream candidate that everyone else has, and that "everyone else" consists of all sorts of people with conflicting interests: liberals, neoliberals, centrists, progressives, leftists, different religious groups or cultures, varying economic demographics, racial minorities, LGBTQ, and immigrants for instance. They're trying to appeal to all of them at once, but because they don't have a shared vision, nobody is happy and they get more scrutinized. To make at least some of them happy, they need to focus on certain groups and deprioritize the interests of other groups. However, once they do that then the groups they deprioritize get angry since they no longer have representation, and the groups that are still there remain skeptical because of the history of not working for their interests in the past.
The advantage that third parties like PSL have is that from the start, they're trying to appeal to a specific group of people with a common vision like Trump is instead of trying to play both sides with conflicting groups and making nobody happy. The problem (aside from the election duopoly bought out by corporations) is that they are a very small political minority so they have no real chance of winning the election without winning over people from other groups which is a challenge, especially when there are many more unknowns when it comes to progressing than there are when it comes to reverting to a previous state so there is more fragmentation due to those sort of disagreements.
Anyone who equates "not perfect" with supporting a genocide is not worth being read and taken seriously.
Not sure that's what the op's point was
It's their title on the internet so who the fuck cares about the rest behind the paywall.
