    3 weeks left and you’re still constantly trying to sow dissent and disfavor on Harris with masquerades of play-nice bullshitting. You seem to be engaged in constant mental gymnastics adjusted to whatever thread topic is available to whataboutKamala in a negative light.

    Do you have any self introspection or is it all high rpm cognitive dissonace at this point?

      I haven’t looked at his post history so I can’t say if you’re right about that, but at least in this case his comment seems entirely on topic and appropriate and I’m not seeing an issue with it. The article is literally about Harris not condemning Trump’s deportation plans and tacit support of the deportation program that Biden ran.

        Look at the post history, that’s the entire context of my comment, I see gsf all the time on the blame train, even while they sprinkle salient points that seem rational here and there.

        How exactly did you interpret the opening line of ‘still constantly trying to sow dissent’ other than to have a broader context than just this particular post. Hand waving it away on their behalf sure seems more like taking part in the gymnastics.

          Because you said:

          You seem to be engaged in constant mental gymnastics adjusted to whatever thread topic is available to whataboutKamala in a negative light.

          which implies they’re twisting the topic to be about blaming Harris rather than Trump which they’re very clearly not doing in this case. Leveling that accusation in a different context might be fair but in this case you’re the one that comes off as engaging in mental gymnastics. This entire article is about criticizing Harris so comments doing the same are on topic. Your comment isn’t even defending her, but rather attempting to attack the motives of someone agreeing with the article.

          For better or worse Harris is who we’re stuck with if we want to avoid a fascist dictatorship, but burying your head in the sand and engaging in personal attacks against anyone who points out that she’s flawed and her policies aren’t great isn’t really helping either, it just makes you seem a bit unhinged.
