It feels like Harris has to run a damn near flawless campaign just to BARELY beat this guy. Yeah you can bring up the current state of the country, but Trump mishandled COVID, there were over 200k deaths, BLM protest and was 2x impeached. And yet, Joe Biden BARELY beat him.

Trump is a convicted felon, liable sexual predator, caused an insurrection on the Capitol Hill, tried to steal the 2020 election (find me 11,000 votes), constantly kisses Russia’s ass, has more pending court cases and gets sentenced next month and overall has been the main driving factor in America’s division.

Yet, this race is STILL either 50/50 or a slight tilt (Harris leads the polling aggregate right now). Harris gets destroyed by the corporate media for almost anything, yet Trump is still lying and saying the most outlandish shit and nobody cares.

Why does it feel standards are much higher for Harris than Trump?

      That’s FPTP. You know one of two things will happen. You want the one with as much genocide as possible.

        If you don’t understand the voting system works on pressuring political parties into doing stuff for votes don’t talk about it.

        FTFP is a strawman for people who don’t understand politics.

          What you are writing indicates you do not understand how the voting system works. You should not be talking about it.

          But actually that is a ruse. You do understand how FPTP works. You are a MAGA breathlessly spending all your time campaigning for Donald. You just love the genocide.
