This is what you said about Harris:
This is what you said about Trump:
Yeah we know what side you are truly on.
So instead of talking about her voting record in the Senate, you want to post only about mostly her time before half a decade ago.
Yeah it's useless because we already know who you side with.
It's disturbing to me that political discourse in this country has basically become black and white boiled down to "If you don't like my candidate, that obviously means you're on the other side". No regard at all as to the points and sources I posted and the concerns I have, just hand waving away that that was over 5 years ago so it doesn't matter and I didn't do enough to condemn Trump so I must be some kind of right-wing chud and the down voting me.
Listen, I know it's much easier to just close your eyes and throw away your moral integrity and back a candidate because you hate the other side so much. I understand that. What I want people to do is have at least a small amount of due diligence when participating in politics. I didn't write this because I want people to vote for Trump. I don't. I'm not voting for Trump nor do I think anyone should. Not only that, but what negative points can I possibly point to about Trump that haven't been said to death already?
I'm asking that people don't let their bias affect their ethics. Vote for Kamala. Fine. But don't do so blindly. Don't ignore how problematic her choices have been and the lives she's destroyed to get where she's at. What we're witnessing now within the media is a perfect example of what Chomsky warned everyone about. The process of manufacturing consent.
No, you're just depressingly on message. And that's not always a bad thing. But in this case you're either letting yourself fall victim to rage bait that's been debunked or you're spreading it on purpose.
Please point out which of my links posted above are incorrect so I can correct that. I do not want to spread misinformation. I really would like to know if I'm wrong about Harris's record.
