    You just said that both parties as equally bad on this issue, so why not call out Trump as well?

      Because Trump is called out by his very existence. Calling him out every time we’re talking about the hundreds of things where his policies are bad would be preaching to the choir.

        Trump is not called out by his very existance.

        Trump is called out as a result of his actions.

        Calling out Harris at this stage will only serve to drive away voters from her, which will only benefit the Trump campaign.

        You have two evils fighting for power, pick the lesser.

        This situation will continue untill the US gets rid of the electors and FPTP in elections.

        Only then can third parties have a real chance and you can actually vote with more granularity.

          So, until we succeed in a revolution. Sounds good! I recommend joining PSL or FRSO.

      Wow the level of speaking over people demonstrated here is astounding. Don’t you think if calling out Trump would have worked people would be doing that instead of trying to convince Harris?

      Instead of treating critics like fools why don’t you attribute more nuance to them that you clearly think the conservatives lack?

      And are you so dumb to believe that People criticizing Harris are going to vote Trump? If you see such a comment just hold your fingers and don’t engage. Either they are people who are genuine and will vote harris anyway… or a rightwing leaning folk and won’t listen to you. All you’re doing commenting is either feeding trolls or alienating Harris voters who are concerned about her stance on Palestine.

        No, certainly not, but some may not vote at all, which would benefit the Trump campaign.

      Because Harris is currently the Vice President of the United States when this specific thing is happening. Hope this helps!
