No reason at all. It just sounded better in my head

Fair enough then. These are the criticisms I've heard from people on the right though. I just wanted some clarification. Thanks!

Is that what you wanted me to say? Look man, I'm not a Conservative nor am i even American. Like i said, I've just been following the US election, and have been engaging in media from both sides. It's possible that i have been "tricked" by the Republicans, but i was simply asking a question while both making some assumptions and stating a fact. And with the fracking:

Here's her saying she is 100% in favour of banning fracking.

Here's her backtracking on that

So clearly your claim "Harris did not make her personal position on fracking clear..." is false.

Also, where did you get the "everybody lies, so Trump's not so bad i guess" from in my post. If you go back, and put on your reading glasses to see what i wrote, you'll see that i was asking why people bring up Kamala's "lies" when Trump is even worse of a liar.

This is a perspective i have never seen before. While his methods still seem underhanded. It at least provides some logical basis as to why people still support Trump in spite of his lies

You are right. I get too obsessed with objectivity sometimes, but it seems like there's no such thing as the right choice only the one that's best for me

I never really cared for politics until very recently, so i always thought its discourse would be grounded in logic and not logical fallacies. So i am quite shocked.

It's so widespread though which is what baffles me. Even political commentators i used to follow when i was still a young conservative make arguments like this. Surely they can't all be this dumb.

 

I've been consuming a lot of political content on both sides lately, but there's one thing that seems to be common among the Republicans. They always point out Kamala's shortcomings as a way to justify Trump's right to be president. They constantly bring up Kamala's wavering stances on fracking, the fact she hasn't been to the border, and a lot of other stuff. And i just think to myself "okay, so what? She's lied. So has Trump though". Why are republicans making it sound like Trump hasn't lied even moreso than Kamala?

Maybe the things Kamala lies about are so terrible? I really don't know. Maybe I'm just too biased. Am i missing something?

 

This has to be against some kind of law right?

At least on the communities i follow. Every so often I come across a thread where i recognize most of the users there even in the big communities with over 30k members and I haven't even been on lemmy that long.

 

I was experiencing some neck pain, and went online in search of some at-home remedies. Of the remedies, posture was one of them which got me thinking: "Does posture really matter that much?".

So will fixing my posture help with my neck pain and grant me numerous other benefits i see on these blogs?

Backtracking leaves you in debt of the amount you would take
