    When you called people fickle and easily fooled for choosing to vote for Harris, I assumed that’s because you dislike her and probably prefer another candidate, most likely Trump.

    I’ve been wanting someone to explain to me the appeal of him because I find it a bit baffling. However, being separated from America both physically and culturally, I can only imagine I’m missing something.

        Then if you were to pick a side, who would you vote for? Even if you dislike both candidates and would rather neither, that is not a choice for Americans. It’s fine to say you’re a centrist but that doesn’t translate into the reality of a lot of politics, especially when it comes to government.

        From my position, Harris looks like a more grounded and beneficial pick for their country, whereas Trump looks insane.

          I am mocking the idea which has been widely presented by US media and support by this sub, that the choice between a convicted felon, fraudster and rapist with fascist backers and the status quo, (albeit lead by a deteriorating man) was ever difficult.

          I am also mocking the idea that the choice has been made easier by Harris.

          That’s was the article was about if you’ve read it.

          Do you, as a non US citizen like me, not find it interesting - even bemusing - that when faced with the current Republican Party and all that their government would bring, voters were - according the article - finding it difficult to vote for Biden because he was merely too old and infirm ?
