Any good faith criticism of the Dem candidate should be obvious in its criticisms that R policies are inherently worse.

Your argument would be great if we didn't live in the reality presented below. There are too many people sitting on the fence who legitimately cannot discern between a mediocre candidate and a career conman, criminal rapist. Where you see nuance, others see "she's no better than Trump".

I like Harris as much as I like Biden, which is not at all, but the alternative is the very real possibility of the end of America.

For my money those charts will look very different after the next debate.

There’s also not a combination of words that’s going to convince me leftists criticizing Dems are going to kill America. Even if Trump gets elected, you are missing every potential lesson if what you take away is “leftists too mean.”

Yeah discouraging voters has never led anywhere bad before.

Normal people don't read lefty struggle sessions on the internet. 🙄

It's a good thing they only let "normal" people vote.

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 4 points 4 months ago

Normal people decide elections.

I have no idea what you mean by "normal" but many many mentally unhealthy people vote. If they didn't, trump wouldn't have ever been a thing

The average person i.e. people who mostly don't read online discussions about politics and get their opinions from legacy media and the other normal people in their own lives. Deranged politics freaks like us do not influence elections even slightly.

Being honest isn't discouraging, it's not being infantilizing.
