    You’re getting downvotes because people disagree with you, but you posted a source and you explained yourself in good faith. That gets an upvote, imo.

      I’m just a joe schmoe factory worker stressed out about it and trying to make sense of it all. I’m more than happy to have someone who understands it all better than this dumb factory schmuck tell me why I’m reading it wrong lol

      Kamala has bad history. People may deceive themselves they don’t care, but they still do, even those who eat with shit anybody criticizing her, just subconsciously. That subconscious influence on their behavior may affect those undecided around them. Trump is demented, but Kamala having the “lawful-neutral” flavor with some “lawful-evil” undertones makes the difference less notable for Republican voters. Some of the Democrat voters are less likely to go and vote due to having suppressed doubts.

      It doesn’t matter that “people against the establishment” is not the main theme of this election. It’s still an unresolved question. That it’s suppressed just shows the degree of media independence from political corporations (it not existing, that is). Trump is not “people” in this, but he manages to appear neutral between “people” and “the establishment”, while Kamala doesn’t, and her attempts are worse than lack thereof.

      “We are going to throw you some bones and punish some corpos” is not a satisfactory position.

      The cost of Trump winning for this world is too much, so I really hope he doesn’t. But were that not so, one could say that worse is better, Trump winning would mean a political crisis and some reforms in the political system as its consequence, when they clean up the rubble.
