Trump started off coherent, but ~30% in he went of the rails.
Kamala on the other hand looks like she has no strong values, she doesn't seem like a Dem candidate. What kind of Dem candidate is pro fracking? Kamala honestly seems disingenuous.
Trump on the other hand didn't form more than 20 complete sentences, so I can't really call him disingenuous because he doesn't seem to stand for anything
One who exists in a fucked up electoral system where the entire fate of our country rests upon a few thousand votes in western PA.
"I don't stand by anything."
Yup here we go with the they're equally bad fallacy
They're both going to make us all part, parcel, and accomplice to genocide, so... Yeah. That's kind of my entire angle right now, is "who is going to make this aberration against history end faster, and who is going to end the cycle of genocidal settlerdom this country perpetuates faster". By any means necessary at this point.
Genuinely, I won't even consider social, domestic issues until it becomes clear to me that genocide has finally become a non-starter for the average Amerikan liberal; I no longer care. Either the genocide can end, or "grill-pilled" brunch-goer Amerikans can start getting uncomfy.
