I hear a lot of generalities here, but nothing specific.

Which "Leftists" are you talking about? What things are being "ignored" that Harris said? That the 101st is doing training exercises in the EU?

People had 4 years of Trump. He has a record, you can look at it. He's a lying politician now who made promises and never delivered. And after that debate it looks like the media may have been trying too hard to spin his faults, as they did with Biden.

I mean, he could still murder JD Vance and replace the corpse with like nikki haley or something.

she didn't bait him, she criticized him. Something republican media doesn't do.

Trump is well known to lie and take every position under the sun and nearby rocks, so saying things like "Trump doesn't want war" is basically nonsense psychic mind reading. Rather than cherry picking responses it makes more sense to look at a politician's actions in bulk. eg "What choices do they typically make?"

He bombed Syria, helped Saudi Arabia massacre people in Yemen and bombed an Iranian government official in Iraq in hopes of starting a war with Iran. These are not the actions of an anti war candidate.

Similarly saying "peacefully" once in a speech then following it with 10-20 "fight like hells" and similar over the next 50 minutes isn't really that convincing of an argument. If I told you to be peaceful once and told you to fight somebody 10-20 times, what would your takeaway be?

A jury convicted Trump, not E Jean Caroll. Her testimony was a piece, but again a jury takes into account things like the fact that he frequently used assaulting women in changing rooms as a routine he employed. He had statements suggesting assaulting women was just normal behavior for a celebrity.

If you want to cherry pick Trump's history that's fine, just know that everybody sees you lying to them and will see you as a liar.

Piers Morgan asked her about this and she just sounds like an idiot. She apparently came to talk to Putin and got snubbed entirely.

I think also what easily could be challenged is the composition of venezuelan prisons. A country mired in dictatorship is bound to have more political prisoners than actual criminals.

did you watch the debate? Her response to abortion was crystal clear. Suggesting it doesn't affect people is insane.

And your framing is exactly what JD Vance attempted, basically: I didn't see a plan from Harris and plans don't put food on the table. Which is onion-esque levels of trying to have it both ways.

I understand the problem with her capitulating to the (lets not call it the republican framing as the whole media has done little to challenge it) media framing on gaza and immigration. Its discredits democrats that they don't challenge the framing at all and at least bring up DACA.

What a Harris win would buy us is time to reframe these narratives and attempt solutions and could possibly push the court closer to an overturn of citizens united. No single election is going to solve the myriad problems we face.

Its also clear Trump, if he wins, will run the country as a figurehead for fascism while his remaining advisors run things - most involved in heritage foundation's project 2025 - which will at best face resistance, and at worst reshape america into more of a pay to play hellhole than it already is, while putting a number of minority groups in a vice
