    If you don’t buy into that fear mongering, you don’t have anyone to vote for.

    Yeah, because they’re both basically the same on economics, women’s rights, foreign policy, union support, LGBTQ rights, choosing judges, climate change, listening to scientific experts, etc. /s

    This is why it’s not about fear. Fear has nothing to do with it. If you (general) think both candidates are the same, then you have insane privilege to have a life where these things don’t affect you even by proxy, and I say again that such a person is deeply unserious about what is at stake when they vote.

      Democrats used to at least promise better policy. Now they promise… what? Higher border walls? Lower taxes? Cheaper gasoline? More wars? Deficit Reduction?

      How much space is there between Harris in 2024 and Bush Jr in 2000?

      This is why it’s not about fear. Fear has nothing to do with it.

      Harris’s campaign has made “If Trump wins it’ll be the last election!” the centerpiece of her message.

      She’s not campaigning on ballot accessibility or ending felony disenfranchisement or DC statehood. Even Walz’s “maybe the electoral college is bad” line was quashed by the campaign.

      All she’s campaigning on is the terror of a second Trump term.
