As always, any criticism for harris is interpreted in bad faith as support for trump.

    No argument, no talking points, no facts, no sources, just a biased opinion and a salty comment.

    That’s not criticism. That’s badmouthing.

    I’m tired of these people pointing at one candidate’s speck of dust, while ignoring the other candidate’s plank to justify not voting against a fascist dictator.

    She was pro fracking.

    Maybe she was. Maybe she wasn’t far left enough. And so, because of that one specific detail, that as enough to tip the balance and swing the vote for the guy who is not only very pro fracking, but also for destroying the entire ecosystem and environment scorched-earth style.

    I’m so f… tired of the double standard.

    You assume that about anyone with any criticism whatsoever of harris.

    I voted for harris; you just can't abide anything other than unconditional worship of her.

    Maybe she was. Maybe she wasn’t far left enough. And so, because of that one specific detail, that as enough to tip the balance and swing the vote for the guy who is not only very pro fracking, but also for destroying the entire ecosystem and environment scorched-earth style.

    And you're doubling down on the bad faith assumption that criticism of harris is support for trump.

    I wasn’t criticizing your comment. I never implied that you had voted for the other guy.

    And I have no worship for her. She’s a politician. I only had hope, for the country and for the world, that the other guy wouldn’t take power.

    She was pro fracking. Got to line those pockets afterall.

    A lot was implied in that comment the person wrote. Implying that she is corrupt.

    That isn’t criticism. That is badmouthing.

    And that is what I have a problem with. The double standard, and the gratuitous smearing. That’s what revolts me. That’s what upsets me.

    And what I have a problem with is the bad faith assumption that criticism of democrats for corruption is support of trump.

    Which is what centrists leap to when they have no defense for their politicians or positions, which is pretty much all the time.

    I am not defending her. I am not defending democrats. She never wanted to become president. It showed. She and her entire party bowed down and conceded without even a hint of willpower to fight. She was the only thing left standing against fascism, and she just gave them the keys of the kingdom.

    But she was right about what the current regime would do if it took power. Which the meme was about.
