She's running against arguably the worst candidate in American history and it's still a dead heat, what does that tell you?
Harris must be a nasty woman like Hillary Clinton. It can't be because the other side has been propagandized until it went nuts.
Super healthy and helpful mindset /s
I'm guessing they were being sarcastic. Unfortunately a lot of people have yet to realize sarcasm is anything but obvious online, at least not in this day and age.
I think I understood their sarcasm. They think I'm engaging in misogynistic tendencies and do actually think Trump voters are "nuts".
Traitor voters are nuts. Why else would they be voting for America's Hitler?
For the record, I don't know if you personally judge Harris as a woman. I have no reason to think that's true, and I don't know if you hate Hillary, let alone your reason if you do.
But I think a lot of the hate for Hillary was misogynist, and many people made the argument that if Trump is awful, Hillary must have been worse to lose.
I think I understood the first paragraph before your comment but thank you for the clarification. And I do generally agree with your second paragraph as well. I do think it's a bit reductive and is often used to draw attention from the more substantial reasons.
Also deciding people are nuts is a great way to alienate and isolate them which will only entrench those ideas and can further radicalize them.
He might be the best candidate for hateful idiots though. The guy’s a chud whisperer. I’m not sure if any smarter more articulate Republican could hold together the same radical coalition.
You could have a cockroach running against a smoked cigarette that's been hydrating in a coffee cup for a week and as long as the cockroach was a Democrat and the cigarette were a republican, it would still be a dead heat.
