bold of you to assume they don't love him because he attempted a coup on live tv

Chalk it up to Citizens United and corporate media - the partnership to end democracy.

At the level orangie is polling, sexist would be generous. A flaming dumpster fire probably more accurate.

Obama had to be polite, intelligent, and well-spoke, or else he'd be considered too "hood" for the White House, Trump has had no such requirement.

If Obama or Harris had shown up with their five kids from three different marriages, it would be the ultimate proof that the "Lessers are breeding like crazy!" and they would be condemned by the bigots on Right and the "I'm not racist, but..." on the Left|

When Trump did it, he was just seen as a family man.

I would've ordered some pizza and left that bullshit

Hey, we don't know they're sexist. Perhaps they're racist.

Seriously?

Por que no los dos.

[-] jdeath@lemm.ee 2 points 16 hours ago

is there supposed to be a "no" in that sentence or did i imagine that?

[-] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago

Yeah, I made it a sarcastic statement but it's still broken without no.

She is not competent at all.

She passed the bar exam which is known for being an incredibly difficult exam. And defended victims (including sexual assault) by herself in courts for years.

The Don on the other hand boasted you need to be quite smart to win golf championships and didn't realize you can't inject the same stuff you disinfect with to cure COVID (which is common sense).

His own ex staff calls him dangerous and stupid including Mike Pence. Kamala has the support of her staff and a huge amount of Donald's too.

The only one calling Kamala stupid is Trump..

Wouldn't you want someone who has comprehensive knowledge of the law running the country, instead of a rapist who is leaking classified documents to everyone he can?

[-] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

Well she's not a competent con artist, but that's not what it's supposed to be about.

[-] EleventhHour@lemmy.world 114 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Not to defend “them”, but I really do believe that very little of this has anything to do with the fact that she’s a woman. It’s a red versus blue thing, democracy versus fascism. At this point, it doesn’t really matter who runs for president, wrt gender or even race. Trump has attacked her race far more than mentioning anything about her gender. Nonetheless, Trump just sees the dems as “the enemy“, and has convinced all of his cultists to view things in the same terms.

Any other Republican of this current generation would probably attack her on her gender as much as her race, but for some reason, Trump only attacks things he doesn’t understand such as biraciality (biracialness? Biracitude?).

[-] xenoclast@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

I'm sure it has much nuance, but all things being equal. If she were a 45 year old white man, I believe it would be a lot less close.

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 5 points 1 day ago

Pretty much, I used to think Hillary was just THAT unpopular, and that Trump could never win a fair election with someone competent, capable, and without baggage.

I really hope I wasn't wrong...

[-] Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 119 points 2 days ago

They've attacked the fact she's a childless woman plenty. Like if it mattered for her policies. I doubt they'll straight up attack her for just being a woman much because they still want the conservative woman vote but they'll sure as shit attack her for woman things.

I believe that a lot of it has to do with her being a non-white woman.

Obviously, something like 30-40% of people had already picked a side and were going to vote either Trump or whoever was not Trump on the other ticket. But, there are still plenty of people in the middle. Given how extreme the US is, the "middle" isn't reasonable, thoughtful people. They're all voting for the democrats. It's racists who don't think abortion should be banned. It's sexists who are concerned with corruption. It's people who are in the alt-right bubble and think that George Soros and Bill Gates are using mosquitoes to infect people with 5G... but who think Trump is a Freemason, so you can't vote for him.

[-] pumpkinseedoil@mander.xyz 2 points 11 hours ago

👍 in my country I'm in the middle, but by US-American standards I'm far left (or more left than the democrats at least).

[-] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 17 points 1 day ago

I’ve heard people openly talking about this election being “whether a woman gets to be president or not”.
