Option 1 - seasoned government professional who can navigate politics with diplomacy
Option 2 - an old man who bankrupted ~~a~~ 4 _ casinos_ and has ties to russia, has zero political experience. edit - thanks everyone - traitor, felon, rapist, attempted a coup to overthrow the government, ex president consistently considered one of the worst terms america has seen.
How is this difficult, america
Option 2 also tried to overthrow our government as his fanatics chanted their intention to hang his vice president.
Option 1 - No real controversies.
Whenever someone gets all hemming and hawing about Harris and says “but I don’t really like her much” or some other thing I always go “why?” and don’t offer any defense. I want them to actually say out loud what it is and not prompt them.
It is always 2 things: 1) “the border” gesticulates vaguely and 2) vibes, like Clinton. So “I hear she’s bad a lot so she must have some bad things about her” without any actual attempt to figure out what those things are.
It’s been surprisingly effective. At the very least it sometimes gets people to realize maybe they don’t really know anything about her.
I don't like Harris much, but I don't like prosecutors.
Still hope she wins, because I like fascists even less
For many of his supporters the controversies are a feature.
Well, the old man had 4 years of being president where he broke everything he possibly could.
How is this difficult, america
Mostly because of racists.
Those casinos were in Atlantic City. He also lost tens of millions of dollars on one of the most famous and prestigious hotels in New York City. He lost money trying to sell mail-order steaks and whiskey in the United States. He also lost money trying to operate a university during the biggest education bubble in history. He also stole classified documents, 'lost' them, and got huge numbers of foreign assets killed. He openly advocates for ending democracy. And as the cherry on top of that shit sandwich, brags about sexually battering women.
You didn't even mention "serial rapist."
Or "Epstein's BFF," or "multiple-times credibly accused child rapist."
Option 2 is also a traitor, and convicted felon.
That option 2 is even being considered and still has a good shot at winning the presidency would seem to be proof that American democracy is deeply broken. Maybe it’s the education system, the two-party duopoly, the selling out of one party to Russia, foreign interference in general, corruption and the role of private money in elections/politics, a partisan Supreme Court, and/or just the election process itself. If a dipshit like that has a shot while blatantly campaigning on fascism, something’s not right.
Option 2 bankrupted four casinos.
This won't matter if no one votes.
Also, Newsweek has been going far out of their way to paint a picture of Trump doing poorly even when he's not. Beware this source.
But he was doing poorly. Newsweek has fallen off in quality, but so have lots of other papers too. The friggin New York Times was running articles about how trump was amazing and so much more vibrant than Biden. They had a big op-ed focusing on just Biden stepping down from the campaign, completely ignoring trump's failings.
Now it's obvious that they just wanted to cover a Democratic primary horse race. Trump is clearly just as slow as Biden, compared to Kamala.
Good for Kamala.
Good for America.
Good for the World sadly what happen in america have often worldwide repercussion
As someone not in America, dear Americans, for the love of tits, go vote for Kamala. Sadly our lives could also depend on it.
What if the main reason we’re voting for Kamala is our love of tits?
I'll allow it, tits are wonderful. Tits for president!
Go girl!
Got my fingers crossed for her
