What is even the difference beyond rhetoric between these two candidates? They both hate immigrants and Palestinians, love Israel and fossil fuels, and neither have a tenable plan to improve the economy for the working class. Don't let anyone give you a hard time about not voting for either.
One is a Russian asset intent on destroying America from within; the other is Kamala Harris. Your eyes must be getting real bad to not see that.
It's crazy how liberals are still doing russophobia.
Not really, since it's now public knowledge that the entirety of Trump-positive media is bankrolled by the Kremlin.
The entirety? Regardless, what difference does it make if both candidates are arguing that they will carry out the same policies more effectively than the other? It's plain russophobia if you oppose a candidate for no discernable reason than alleged support of their campaign by Russia.
Same policies, my ass. Harris supports abortion rights, LGBT rights, more progressive tax policies, and has a stronger foreign policy strategy with respect to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, among many other policy positions that are superior to Trump's. On the other hand, Trump supports the far-right vision of Project 2025 and wants to impose ridiculously high tariffs on imported goods to sharply increase the cost of living for most Americans. Most Lemmy readers see right through your bothsidesism.
We criticize Russia-backed propaganda campaigns such as Tenet Media because they disinform voters to promote Trump, who is content with Ukraine being annexed by Russia. Crying Russophobia doesn't excuse the fact that Russia sees Trump as a tool to further Russian imperialism.
No she doesn't. The only issues to which she's explicitly committed is support for Israel and fracking.
You're lying, because Harris covered all of the policies I mentioned in her platform:
Harris hasn't said any of that with her chest they way she committed to Israel and fracking the other night. There's barely any meat in this list anyway? Why did you even quote the Ukraine bit? On the point of reproductive rights in particular, you are Chalie Brown going for a football if you think there's anything there. The Democrats have a strong track record of not protecting abortion access federally and her campaign is doing the same old blackmail by reminding us of an allegedly looming national abortion ban. It's time to break the cycle.
"Said any of that with her chest"? This isn't an Ariana Grande song. Do you know how ridiculous you sound, when Harris literally covered all of these issues in her platform, which I quoted because you are trying to pretend that she isn't "committed" to them?
Here's Trump's 2024 platform on the same issues:
Trump's platform does not mention Russia or Ukraine at all, which is not surprising considering that Russian state media employees are bankrolling pro-Trump propaganda. Trump refused to answer the question "Do you want Ukraine to win this war?" two times in the debate.
I'll take Harris's platform over Trump's platform any time, any day. You would have to be delusional or intentionally lying to claim that Harris's and Trump's policies are "the same".
During the debate, Harris made it clear that she supports Israel, fossil fuels, and tougher border policies much more strongly than Trump. That's a deal breaker.
I showed clear evidence that Harris had much better policies than Trump on abortion rights, LGBT rights, taxation, and foreign policy with respect to Ukraine, and now you're trying to change the topic. Sure, I can play that game.
Trump has worse positions on Israel, fossil fuels, and border policies. All you have to do is look at what he said during the debate:
Israel
Fossil fuels
Border policies
And there you have it. Harris leads on abortion rights, LGBT rights, taxation, foreign policy, energy, immigration, and many more issues.
I did not change any topic. The "positions" you found on Harris's campaign website are bogus and I already addressed that.
We all watched the same debate. Don't pretend you didn't notice how Harris wouldn't be outdone on Israel, the border, or fossil fuels. Whatever Trump said on these topics, Harris promised to do it harder and meaner. She was clearer on these points than she's been on anything in the past six years.
What's bogus is you trying to ignore Harris's entire platform because it's clearly superior to Trump's platform. You're hoping that people don't compare the two platforms because anyone who is able to read can see that Harris has better policy positions across the board, including in abortion rights, LGBT rights, taxation, foreign policy, energy, and immigration.
In the debate, as I have shown in the parts that I quoted, Trump also claims that he "wouldn't be outdone" and would "do it harder and meaner" on the topics that you are pretending to care about. That is what people are expected to do in a debate. Even then, Trump lied about immigrants eating cats and dogs, while Harris acknowledged Palestinians' right to self-determination.
Not sure why you bother with Lemmy when your pro-Trump rhetoric is a better fit for Gab and Truth Social.
Harris is the VP now. She and her boss have a track record that's pretty close to Trump's on these issues and that should carry more weight than a campaign webpage. Also, Harris is notoriously non-committal in her speech (except on Israel), so she really went out of her way in the debate to make it clear that she'll be tougher on the border and do more fracking than Trump. That's the real Kamala.
And just so everyone is clear, Trump is also bad. Do not vote for Trump either.
Well to start, one of them supports me having the same rights as everyone else while the other one wants me dead
I assure you that neither of these candidates or their parties cares if any of us live or die. Even if they claim to support your rights, they don't really mean it. Just look at the Democrat's track record on codifying Roe v. Wade into law. They're just blackmailing you into voting for them.
I’m saving this comment so I can make fun of it later.
What scenario are you waiting for that you think would allow you to make fun of my comment?
Ok Vladimir.
lol
One is a idiot thin-skinned grifter man child cult leader who doesn't care about anyone but themselves, and the other is Kamala Harris.
The vice president was a prosecutor who advanced her career by putting people in prison and fighting to keep them there in spite of court orders to reduce unconstitutional overcrowding. Trump's worst antics simply aren't nearly as demonic.
I believe you that harris is a piece of shit crook but holy shit that news article was so biased cant even tell if 100% of is real
What's wrong with the article? Here's an Atlantic article that covers Harris's role in the crisis for corroboration.
Tipped your hand a bit there, next thing you know you'll be talking about "satanic" things and stealing adrenochrome from babies.
Okay, tone-cop, what word would you have used instead to describe deliberately obstructing court orders to apply a specific remedy to a massive eighth amendment violation?
Most people just lapring two party regime circle jerk. We got a generation to go before we get critical mass understanding that vote for either party is the vote [for] the regime.
They will keep looting unless the two party system is upset by people voting any third choice alternative as a FUCK U to the two parties.
But hey bro vote for my guy, trust me bro HOPE and CHANGE is coming after you vote for my guy bro... you are not [nazi or commie], vote for my guy
