how is saying something is worse than X an "equivocation?"
It’s an equivocation when they aren’t remotely similar, and when the arguments that attempt to place them on equal footing fail at the most basic level, which is exactly the case with nearly every right wing “I’m rubber and you’re glue” attempt.
There is literally zero explanation for why people are voting for Kamala other than what they admit to: She is not Trump.
The reason it is difficult to explain why we are voting for Kamala is because she isn’t remarkable. She’s what we generally expect from any normal presidential candidate; she’s intelligent, she's a decent person, she respects the constitution, she respects the office, she is focused on working with lawmakers to solve problems, etc.
Trump is none of these things, which creates a dilemma; either we don’t get into the nuances of Kamala’s policies and positions which makes it look like she doesn’t have any when she absolutely does, or we do talk about these things in which case we’re accepting as a premise that any of that matters when compared to the alternative, which it doesn’t. Doesn’t matter whether Kamala’s idea of subsidizing first time home buyers is a good idea when Trump’s ridiculous tariff proposals will completely tank the economy. Doesn’t matter whether you think Kamala’s plan for childcare will really work when the guy she’s running against is threatening to use the military against his political opponents.
Context matters, the only thing remarkable about this election is that we’re about to (among many other atrocious factoids I could offer) put the guy who incited a mob to attack the US Capitol and watched it on TV for three hours while the National guard stood by waiting for his approval to intervene… back in the White House. The rest is kind of irrelevant.
Orangemanad is a toxic cult with one irrational belief, and America will suffer for indulging it.
What’s irrational is to pretend this guy is a normal, serious person who deserves to be anywhere near the White House.
It's not the first time evil people in power created a cult of fear to manipulate people
Agreed. Hitler and Mussolini are prominent examples. If only we understood the tactics they used to manipulate people and could draw parallels to help us understand which of these two candidates was most similar…
Trump destroys everything he touches...
Thank you for defining your cult with a single line of dogma.
I gave you a litany of examples to demonstrate the point. But as usual with Trump supporters, you must have ran out of bandwidth to absorb any of it so it came across to you as dogma. It’s ok, we’re used to it.
