    Option 1 - seasoned government professional who can navigate politics with diplomacy

    Option 2 - an old man who bankrupted a 4 _ casinos_ and has ties to russia, has zero political experience. edit - thanks everyone - traitor, felon, rapist, attempted a coup to overthrow the government, ex president consistently considered one of the worst terms america has seen.

    How is this difficult, america

        Option 1 - No real controversies.

            I don’t like Harris much, but I don’t like prosecutors.

            Still hope she wins, because I like fascists even less

              I’ve commented on this elsewhere - as far as prosecutors go, she’s been pretty progressive (drug cases aside, which I take issue with), focusing on jail time for violent offenders, and trying to avoid jail time for the non violent offenses. Her record, as well as the back on track program from her time as AG, speak to that well.

              So even in terms of prosecutors (definitely not my favorite group as well, for a variety of reasons), her approach was very progressive, and generically speaking pretty good in my book.

          For many of his supporters the controversies are a feature.

      Well, the old man had 4 years of being president where he broke everything he possibly could.

              Ah, picture not showing up.

              It was the meme of Goofy saying I’ll fuckin’ do it again.

                I did notice the ios client I used before (memmy?), if I uploaded an image without text, it would appear blank. But if I edit, the link/upload is still there

                  Yes, that’s probably what it was. I’m using memmy on ios.

      Those casinos were in Atlantic City. He also lost tens of millions of dollars on one of the most famous and prestigious hotels in New York City. He lost money trying to sell mail-order steaks and whiskey in the United States. He also lost money trying to operate a university during the biggest education bubble in history. He also stole classified documents, ‘lost’ them, and got huge numbers of foreign assets killed. He openly advocates for ending democracy. And as the cherry on top of that shit sandwich, brags about sexually battering women.

      You didn’t even mention “serial rapist.”

        Or “Epstein’s BFF,” or “multiple-times credibly accused child rapist.”

      That option 2 is even being considered and still has a good shot at winning the presidency would seem to be proof that American democracy is deeply broken. Maybe it’s the education system, the two-party duopoly, the selling out of one party to Russia, foreign interference in general, corruption and the role of private money in elections/politics, a partisan Supreme Court, and/or just the election process itself. If a dipshit like that has a shot while blatantly campaigning on fascism, something’s not right.

      Option 2 bankrupted four casinos.

      He does have political experience actually. Still has a huge ass following base where he can spout the most insane shit and they’ll still follow him. That’s why he’s so dangerous.

      Article: People are abandoning Trump for Harris.

        Is that what you interpreted? The fact trump still has a single supporter is insane.
