O...kay.
Bird flu and swine flu are two of the biggest pressure points on agricultural supply. Heat and drought are also doing horrible things to cattle stock. Will her support for small businesses address this? Guess we'll have to tune in next week to find out.
sigh
mega-sigh
Sounds nice. Wonder what the details will look like.
glances at the housing market under Biden
Oof.
You didn’t say how any of her plans are going to be bad for America. Why don’t you go to the points you highlife and tell us how they’re going to hurt Americans. Show us you really understand the things you don’t like.
Fracking is contributing to climate change and can harm local environments.
Medicare for all is a popular progressive universal health care solution.
In an ideal world her positions on these would at best be the platform of the right wing candidate.
In our world the "left" candidate continues to be right of global center
You’re against fracking but don’t like it when a candidate is for less fracking?
What’s wrong g with universal health care? If the military has it why can’t civilians?
The article is saying she no longer supports a fracking BAN and no longer supports Medicare for all, i.e. she has shifted her views right.
The article says it, has Harris said she isn’t going to do anything about fracking?
And just because she changed some of her views to win battle ground states means you don’t support her anymore and are going to vote for Trump? No candidate is perfect. It she’s so much better than Trump
wow dude chill out, we don't have to blindly and ignorantly worship Harris to prove we're not Trump supporters.
This is blue MAGA shit. Fuck off with that
Oh shut up lmao. I’m voting for the best candidate. I’m not sorry I don’t support a convicted felon. Harris isn’t perfect but she’s so much better than Trump.
You can pick any president in history and nit-pick their policies. What you’re doing is making it seem like she’s a worse option than a convicted felon. And just because I support her doesn’t mean that I’m blindly following her. Stop projecting.
you're squashing any criticism and accusing people of being Trump supporters for wishing she was more progressive.
That's silencing progressive voices (like mine)
All either of us said was we hope she doesn't allow fracking
You’re free to criticize anyone you want. I’m criticizing Trump. I’m telling you she isn’t perfect. I’m telling you that I’m booting for the best candidate. Tell me, how am I silencing progressive voices when I am saying she isn’t perfect?
But why don’t you go and tell us who you plan on voting for?
I'm an American expat that hasn't lived there since I was a baby but if I can figure out how to vote it'll be for Harris.
You're silencing voices with your reaction, we can share in our disappointment that she apparently no longer supports Medicare for All and we can share in our disappointment that she apparently softened her climate strategy without accusing each other of being saboteurs and doing the equivalent of asking to see my papers to prove I'm not a Trump supporter.
It's rabid, psychotic behavior.
I asked the person I responded to originally to tell us why he doesn’t like the policies he pointed out. YOU responded with a basic answer instead. You didn’t Say how her policies were going to hurt America.
What’s rabid, psychotic behavior is downplaying Harris to help Trump. You’re acting like no política has ever changed their opinion on a topic. Harris is doing what she needs to do to win those battle states. I understand that no presidential candidate is going to align with all of my political views but I’m on with that. Especially when they’re going up against Trump.
If the slightest honest criticism causes her to lose America deserves Trump.
Lmao you’re a clown. You’re acting like you’re being persecuted. I told you multiple times Harris is not perfect. Do you want me to call her a bitch like Trump does? Do you want me to call her dumb like Trump does? Tell me how to properly criticize her because apparently if I don’t criticize her exactly like you do than that means I am a Harris dick rider.
But why don’t you use this space to properly criticize her policies. Don’t just go and say “fracking bad”. Tell us how their policies are going to hurt America and the American people. Name her policies and how exactly they are bad policies.
Now I know this place is the politics subreddit, just a liberal feeding frenzy.
I don't want to engage with your throbbing hate boner, sorry.
I'm not going to jump when you say jump. As a leftist I think Democrats are better than Republicans but they're both pretty shit. Not sorry.
Yea you don’t know what you’re talking about. I don’t believe you’re a Harris voter at all. And that’s fine, vote for who ever you want.
I gave you the opportunity to discuss your issues with her policies and you refuse. It seems you’re only interested in talking when you get to spew simple statements, when pushed for details you just run away. That just proves you don’t know what you’re talking about.
The secret police caught me!
I don't care what you believe. Your attitude is toxic as fuck dude. This is a cesspool of a thread. Be better.
You think I care about your opinion? You dont have the balls to stand for what you believe in. Someone gives you the platform to discuss what bothers you about a candidate and you run away instantly. That’s prettt cowardly in my book.
Dude you're going to get hemorrhoids relax your fucking ass.
Holy shit.
Here: fuck you, go away.
Yea you’re a weird guy. You come into my conversation with someone else and you get mad when I ask you for further details on the policies you don’t like.
You don’t have integrity. Your parents must be so proud of the person you have become
You dishonor your family. This is normal conversation. I'm not a fucking rabid weirdo.
Nah you’re definitely a weirdo. You butt in to other peoples conversation and then you get mad when people ask you to clarify your statement. You’re just a weird guy. I bet you hear that a lot too.
He hit me with the Democrat forced meme. Since I'm a Republican in disguise, I'm withering away oh nooo. Now I won't every reply to this guy agaiiiiiiinnn
But you’re not weird right?
