    If you can’t tell the difference between Harris and Trump, your political opinion is 110% invalid.

      Meh, just because someone sees things differently doesn’t mean their opinion is worthless.

      There are folks who feel just as strongly that Harris and Trump are both bad for different reasons—maybe one sees Harris as too corporate and the other sees Trump as too authoritarian.

      Different people experience politics in different ways. Doesn’t make one necessarily right and the other necessarily wrong.

      Dismissing someone’s perspective just because it doesn’t match others doesn’t help anyone understand each other or actually address the issues.

        There’s a difference between seeing things differently and claiming to not see a difference.

        A 2nd Trump term will actively injure more people, Americans and non-Americans alike, than a Harris term. Full stop.

      Exactly this.

      Stein said … would four more years of Democratic rule, given high rental costs, the wars in Gaza and Lebanon, and attacks on civil liberties.

      Huh? Dems attacking civil liberties?

      “This is a very dire situation that will be continued under both Democrats and Republicans. So we say there is no lesser evil in this race,” she said.

      This only makes sense regarding the line on Gaza, and even then it’s not true. Biden is having a hard time restraining Israel, that’s true, but under the other guy there wouldn’t be any attempt at restraint at all. This is why Arab Americans for Harris-Walz and Emgage Action are endorsing Harris, and even Uncommitted is encouraging votes for Harris without an explicit endorsement.
