    We also knew exactly who Trump is. We have a very long history.

    I particularly love stuff about him before he was in politics, like the Motley Fool podcast on how he duped public investors for his private company through pumping up real estate values. They went to his office, saw this weird array of gaudy decoration and oddly attractive employees, sat down with him, and saw through his lie. Then made the only short in their firm’s entire history… and it paid off.

    There’s no excuse of bias. You can’t blame any politicians. It’s just him. And while not perfect by any means, you have to squint hard to see Kamala in the same light.

      Why is the default argument from liberals always ‘but Trump?’ Harris would have been a shit candidate not worthy of being elected regardless of who her opponent was.

        Harris was going to raise taxes on billionaires and corporations. Why the fuck would you NOT vote for that?

          And if she said that she was going to give everybody rainbows and lollipops you would believe that you were going to get a rainbow and lollipop.

            False analogy. Clinton, Obama, and Biden – all 3 of the last Dem presidents – kept their promises to raise taxes on the wealthy and/or corporations.

            Realty matters.
