    I didn't like her because she's incompetent. Easy answer. Let's not make this about race. That's bottom of the barrel. I don't think so. They're both utter garbage which is what I was saying earlier. The other problem is do you see a viable candidate in 2028? We're stuck with Trump but the future certainly doesn't look promising.

    Sadly that's probably accurate

    Proof of this is in Trump's polling. Go look at his polling history. The less Trump is in the news and is conceivably doing "nothing"... his polling climbs out of the hole that he previously dug for himself.

    So this notion that someone would rather vote for Joe Biden's rotting corpse or the worst caricature of Kamala or whatever is actually backed up by the fact that people do not approve of Trump when he is actual able to be Trump.

    On Kamala-

    I don't think Kamala is nearly as bad as the caricature of her is on the right, but even if that is the truth and she is a cackling bimbo who just sleeps with everyone and just rubber stamps the "deep state" civil servants, generals, etc. then sign me up for that any day over Donald Trump.

    Obviously though Kamala is not nearly as bad as that, and she has the personality & background to be an excellent AG, Senator, or even VP... but just not charismatic enough, and doesn't enjoy the spotlight enough to campaign effectively for President given where this country is where you have to be a narcissistic messianic figure to get half of the attention in the media needed to shape the opinion you want to fight back against the right wing propaganda machine.

    I think she helped the Democrats not have a bloodbath that they would have had if Biden stayed on the ticket, but had she been in a true primary in 2025 we are lying to ourselves if we think she's suited to win a long primary unless she changed quite of bit of who she is as a person from a public persona standpoint (and I kind of like her more personally that she is more normal/boring, and not a narcissistic bombastic flame thrower).

    Okay but legitimately

    [NIH] Fluoride Exposure: Neurodevelopment and Cognition
    A short video on it from MD going over the studies, sources all displayed on top right.



    This is a famous example of people clowning people for being conspiracy theorist, but the concern truly has merit that has now been acknowledged by multiple credible governments and agencies.

    Naw. I think she seems like a good person. Good Senator, and a Good VP. Would have been a good AG too if she was in that role. I just don't think she's the charismatic personality you need to be to capture the narrative of Americans in 2025. She obviously doesn't enjoy being the star of the show and personally she's into normal stuff like cooking that doesn't get clicks.

    Even though she's not the best charismatic messianic narcissist that you need to be to be president of the USA in 2025, It was the easiest decision I have ever made to look at a screen that said Kamala Harris, or Donald J. Trump and press that button for Kamala.

    Easiest vote I've ever made in my life.

    This is the reason they had to get rid of DEI
    so they can go back to the good ole days of cronyism and nepotism
    and can say "we got the best. . .. TRUST US . . . "
    while they dismiss the criteria and qualification THEY put in place for those THEY WANT

    This groups REQUIRES 3 degrees and 25 yrs experience
    while this other group just has to show up

    Harris is terrible but you're obviously free to support her.

    You voted against Trump. That's not a ringing an endorsement for the cackling idiot

    I don’t think voting for president should be voting to join a cult. Kamala had good policies. I was hiring her to do a job. Not be my messiah or my nightly entertainment. That’s something MAGA online activists just can’t seem to grasp.

    He entertains his cult following in the middle of the night though. They love his crazed rants and nonsense posts. He gets some crazy thought in his head, or gets so angry that he pecks away at 2:00 in the morning to vent. He's going stark raving mad before their eyes with his 2,262 Truth Social posts in his first 132 days. Those sheep just eat it up, regurgitate it, repeat it, and defend it, no matter how absurd, hateful, toxic, dangerous, or untruthful it is.

    Might as well call Truth Social what it is....

    You get so defensive of Trump, don't you? You can't stand it when people talk about how crazy and stupid he is. One day you might finally wake up to the truth about him, but even when it's staring you in the face you will probably just put your blinders on to deflect the truth, rather than to ever admit I was right about that crazy old BS spewing grifting con.

    I am the part of society that is footing the bill and not getting the benefits. Yeah, I would rather not be.
