"Double haters" who loathed Trump and Biden actually seem to like Kamala Harris, poll suggests

The irony of calling "double hater" people who as a general rule don't like people who spread hate or actively support those who practice hate, is also delicious and kind of says everything one needs to know about the Doublethink style of the people making up such labels.

Being truly anti-hate as a principle logically makes one be both against Trump and Biden, one for spreading hate and the other for actively supporting people practicing their hate aginst men, women and children with extreme violence.

They're probably old, senile and out of touch millionaires who are insulated from any consequences.

"I never vote for, only against." -- W.C. Fields in a rare serious moment.

Something I take to heart. I will never get a candidate who represents everything I stand for, but there will always be one who represents less of what I stand for than the other.

until we fix this broken system

THIS. Campaign Finance & Election Reform is the most important single-issue in America right now because it impacts quite literally every other problem and the disenfranchisement and frustrations so many Americans feel with the system right ow.

• Amidst this 2-Party System, we have no choice but to vote for the lesser-of-two-poor choices.
• Between these two parties, only one party has actually advocated for fixing the system.
• We need a Constitutional Amendment. It's the only way.
• This movement needs to be grassroots and built state-by-state.

The good news is that there is untapped bipartisan support for said initiative. We just need to ALL keep repeating this, which again, is easy because it can be injected into nearly every single political conversation.

Longer write-up for those interested.

At various times over the last 10 years there have been different versions of the satirical "ANY FUNCTIONING ADULT" for president yard signs and bumper stickers, and we thought we were joking, but how true it is.

And it's amazing how little function it takes to make a difference. Like, cognitive function, for instance, turns out to be really refreshing in a potential world leader.

Also, the difference between the tone of the speechea between Harris and Trump are like day and night. Where Trump continues to throw dirt and spew so much negativity, Harris sounds like someone who steps beyond the dirt throwing and really comes with a vision and ideas how to govern the country.

Well, my 2cts from someone on the other end of the Atlantic 😀

Agreed. I'd rather see Tim Walz for prez.
So maybe it speeks well for her, that she picked him for VP.

That's wayyyy too early to say. Her only really different policy position is on Medicare For All and fracking, everything else is a matter of degrees. Even then Biden doesn't particularly oppose Medicare For All, he just said it needs to be tax supported and not based on debt spending.

Whether she'll be better in practice is really more a function of Congressional support. If the Dems can't take Congress and the pack the Court nothing else will matter anyways.

Unless she wants to take a firmer position vis a vis Officially Acting to Publicly Execute certain Justices. I don't believe she's stated an intent on that.

People need to get over the candidate BS

In one sense this true. Policies are set by a small army of party elites and admins. Presidents aren't just policy makers though. They are the face of a country. Their words are powerful and institutions react to them. They also project a sense of competency and vitality to the world.

it’s the politicians who deliberately trample them and keep these people in a perpetual state of misery, and then use racism to distract them from their pains.

I think this is a one sided analysis putting all the blame on the Republicans. It fails to wrestle with purple states that became red states like Florida and the inability for Democrats to make lasting in roads in purple states.

I just can’t believe the Red party is still given any serious consideration.

Personally, I turn to history when I want to understand something that confounds me. It would be better if I could actually talk to some people and really hear them. But I live a major metropolitan center in a blue state so my access is limited.

I very much don’t think your average person understands the threat of fascism or what’s on the line, I feel like that belief comes from being in a left leaning echo chamber.

Obviously anecdotal but the vast majority of people I know are not great about consuming news, are not politically active, and don’t believe this election will have the deep consequences that I do.

*Does not apply to conservatives who worship Trump

As a purely strategical choice, I would say that insulting their intelligence won't help. However right it would be.
