they're not voting trump they're voting against the democrat party

Cuz most ppl knows trump dumb, need to grade him on a curve.

Also, he's our spesho widdle boy who can do no wrong 👶

Because one is a traitor that attempted to overturn a lawful election result.

No matter what you think of Kamala, supporting Trump is a joke.

No one hold trump to any standard. Thats what the trash like about him. He is just as shitty as them.

The Republican Party and it’s base are anti-intellectual, why do you think they care about logical consistency in their politicians?

Kamala Harris is a non-white, non-GOP woman. Period.

Corporate media likes elections to be close and exciting because that draws ratings. Hence the reason they put on kid gloves for the idiot fascist.

What standard is trump being held to again?

Because not only do women have to work 10x as hard to be seen as being on the same level as men, but she has scruples. Trump doesn't care about perception.

1: She's a woman of color so she has to be 75% better than average for anyone to pay attention.

2: Executed moral standards are more important to the left than the right. Declared moral standards are more important to the right.

I don’t think it’s that Harris is being held to a higher standard, it’s that trump is being held to virtually no standard.

The people supporting trump have no standard either except for “beat the other team, even if for no other reason than to piss them off.” They don’t care if the world goes up in flames as long as it fucks over a lib.

It's because democrats are unwilling or unable to deliver on real policies for working people. Of course, republicans are the same, but they more or less don't even pretend to, choosing instead to whip up their constituents with culture war nonsense. Nobody has any faith in things improving. Repubs just want to get revenge on their cultural enemies, and democrats (voters) just want to prevent a total slide toward the far right.

Dem politicians can't whip up excitement because it is impossible to get people excited by neoliberal policies, but that's really all they have. Vague platitudes only work so many election cycles in a row before voters just can't even pretend to be excited anymore.

tl:dr republicans are awful but at least their base believes in them.

Because Trump's base does not care and Harris' base does. It's really that simple.

2 things:

• Remember 2016 when the media gave Trump an absurd amount of free publicity by covering every stupid thing he said and did then he won? It wasn’t the only reason, but it clearly didn’t help.

• People know who Trump is at this point. He’s awful in a way that’s really easy to see and either you’re someone that’s a problem for or you’re someone who loves the awful.

Whoever is the current corporate lackey being put forward by the DNC is the one that needs to claim to be the good one, co-opting the language of progressives while taking corporate money and maintaining the brutal status quo.

So for people who come looking for someone who’s gonna do good, the bad stuff represents inconsistencies with that narrative and despair at a lack of representation in a supposedly democratic system.

Just shows you how shitty and stupid his base is.

Grabbed 'em by the pussy.. And they liked it!

Because the standards are relative to the voters, and Trump is appealing to a voting base that's very big on misogyny and racism. That's what they want out of their preferred candidate.

But in general, you need to look at redistricting, gerrymandering, voter suppression, all of the standard tactics that Republicans have effectively used to give themselves more weight in the presidential race. Of course the electoral college is part of the problem too. The low population red states are disproportionately represented. This has been going on for a century? Longer? The exact details have changed over time, but the general strategy is to change the rules or ignore the rules and hope you don't get caught or if you do get caught rely on the courts backing you so that your party wins.
