      very little negatives about Trump…

      The problem with lemmy.world is the lack of Trump-negative articles. There simply isn’t enough of them.

      Gurl please. There’s a million “Trump is bad” articles. Why would I post duplicates?

        Equal level of scrutiny > equal number of negative posts

        Maybe there are a million “trump is bad” articles because there are a million unique reasons that trump is bad. We don’t need a million “Harris is bad” articles to make it fair, we need legitimate comparison on equal ground. Nobody is insisting that you repost what’s already been said, but nobody needs to hear “Harris is also bad” when the only reasonable goal of such a thing is to draw a false equivalency in order to either encourage people that voting for trump isn’t actually all that bad, or discourage barely-motivated Harris voters from actually getting up off their asses to vote for her.

        To be clear, Harris isn’t perfect, but she’s proven to be competent and capable of growth as a human being who is engaging in a similar human experience as other people and understands the actual struggles we endure, their causes, and has proposed some solutions. The other fucking guy is airing out personal grievances, bitching about consequences for his actions, and spreading blatantly racist lies about immigrants which would make Hitler himself blush.

          If anyone is legit not going to vote because of a negative news article posted by a stranger online… they’re dumb AF.

            Welcome to America, where people think that Fox News is a legitimate news source because “‘news’ is right there in the name!”

            You’ve been here a while and most have told you about how it looks time and time again.

            Either you’re the living embodiment of the Skinner “No, it’s the children who are the problem” meme or you’re a “hidden” Trumpet/Russian asset/Bot

                Then why are you so hell bent on helping Trump?

                I see we have gone with option a, living embodiment of the Skinner meme.

                  I’m not a Democrat I’m not a Republican. It’s the Democrats that are starting to court Republicans even praising war criminal Cheney. Politicians should constantly be critiqued. Hold their feet to the fire.

                    That’s what you fucks said about Clinton and now we have a tilted supreme court and two dead women and facing life in prison for miscarriages. Grow the fuck up.

            Oh, okay, glad all we needed was the smart votes and the votes from the deeply politically engaged.

            It reminds me of other instances of left purity, where somehow large swathes of voters don’t count because they’re too dirty, or something.
