Donald Trump is absolutely a shittier candidate than Kamala in every way imaginable.

And this approach to campaigning does. not. win. elections.

Fair point! So which part of my reply to the other commenter was incorrect?

Sure, OK. But it’s not a universal observation. Leaving off “to me” makes it so. That commenter didn’t sound that way to me. See how that works?

You are reading a lot into my comment about implicit biases that is literally just not there.

Have a good day!

Who is we?

The electorate?

This is going to get pulled because this sub doesn’t allow selfposts FYI. Not that I disagree with your premise.

I mean, yes, I’m sure there are people who do. There are people who think the earth is flat. They don’t influence policy though.

Edit - my point is, no one is coming for your testes, and knowing someone who thinks it’s a good idea is no better an example here than it would be for me to say I’m worried a flat earther is going to influence space exploration policy.

And if you decline that premise, and just say “I’m not sexist, I treat everyone the same despite gender” you are somehow lying and trying to hide your sexism, which makes you a bad person or something.

We all have implicit biases, this is undeniable. Denying this doesn’t make you a bad person, but you are denying reality. Having the biases doesn’t make you a bad person either - again we all do. But you can’t be mindful of them if you deny they exist.

FWIW I’ve only seen that used to illustrate how ridiculous it is that we find it essentially normal to have laws controlling what women can do with their reproductive systems but not men. I’ve not seen a single credible example of someone seriously suggesting this.

I now wish he’d won in 2020. Maybe it would have finally been the thing that stopped D from tacking to the right. Plus, we’d be a month away from being done with him now. We’d be a month away from starting to rebuild from 8 years of his shit. (well ok, more like two months)

Instead, factoring in the supreme court, the house and senate, and figuring all the shit he dismantles will take more than just 4 years to put back together, I figure I’ll be dead of old age (as will anyone over 50) by the time any of the progressive goals that seemed like they could one day be obtainable at the end of 2020 actually have any chance of becoming obtainable again.

And that’s on top of the untold horrors that await the queer community, people of color, folks with special needs, etc etc during the next four years, and I’m now not 100% sure we’ll get another election at all.
