I wish someone would give a real answer as to why they believe she is the best candidate we have.

you're not going to find that, here.

they both suck. And people have been voting against candidates forever. The anti-Trump vote is more numerous the the pro-Harris vote.

It seems pretty irresponsible to vote for someone just because you don't like the other candidate as a person (not you, generally speaking.)

Aside from Trump's personality (which is better than Kamala's anyway), I don't understand what people are seeing in Kamala that make her a better candidate for presidency.

I don't want to be a brainwashed voter, so I'm trying to look at both candidates rationally. I wish someone would give a real answer as to why they believe she is the best candidate we have.

I have news for you, that's how we got Trump and Biden. People voted against Hillary and Donny.

No rational person thinks any of these clowns are worthy of being voted for.

I've gone back and watched and learned about Trump from the 70s til now. There are some things I don't like, but I don't see anything that would cause the type of hate some folks show for him. I wish more people would take a couple hours and do the same for both candidates.

I've done the same for Kamala. In comparison, she should never be a presidential candidate. Her career and personal life are appalling when compared to Trump's.

This is why I am trying to ask what regular people like about her and why they will vote for her over Trump. Maybe I'm missing something.

Bored 'er. (Reemed)
Bored, her? (Antsy)

From what I read, we do a terrible job with using "an" instead of "a".

One should use "an" when the SOUND of the 1st letter of the next word begins with a vowel, in addition to when its actually a vowel. That means every word starting with "S" or "H" should be preceeded by "an".

Say "S".... "eeeesssss"
Say "H".... " Aech"

We never use "an" with words that begin with S...and rarely H.

"You're an stupid liberal"

"LG's bunghole is an Superspreader."

Or H?

Komrade Kamala gives me an headache.

Big Mike is clearly an Hermaphrodite.

Seems so strange to me. Never hear anyone speak that way.

I am not sure this is right. I looked it up, but i am not sure if whether you use "an" is decided by the sound of pronouncing the letter...OR if its determined by the sound the letter makes IN the actual word.

For example, the letter S is pronounced "eesss" ...but in the above word "stupid" the sound that the letter S makes is "sss". So 1 way demands an "an" while the other would be "a". No wonder the English language is so hard to learn lmao.

Silly. The same things can be said about either candidate for about 90% of that list. I just find it wild that people can be so easily manipulated.

It's not. Campaign platforms aren't actual policies though.

Anyone can run on a platform of no homework and longer recess. Implementing it is another story.

The question wasn't a question about what they are "promising."

Personally, I think they both suck ass, but the question was asking for a comparison of two things that aren't the same.

why wouldn't the question have been about what they are promising? thats all campaigning is. Trump isn't enacting any presidential policies at the moment. he isn't (just) running on what he actually did as president from 2017-2020.

you are really twisting yourself to try and defend Kamala's lack of stated stances.

Look at her career as a prosecutor, DA and State Attorney. I'm not sure how anyone could take a look at that and think she should be in politics, let alone a presidential candidate.

Again, I think you may have a rose-colored view of who legislators and politicians are and where they come from.

As credentials go, being a District attorney, City attorney, a two term California Attorney General and a U.S. Senator make a pretty good resume for a politician and especially that of President. The only things she lacks is business experience, which arguably is just as important as the others. Certainly, much stronger credentials than Obama or Trump

Seems to me that you really aren't here looking for reasons to vote for KH as you are here to signal that you're not.

PF folks sniff out this kind of stuff pretty fast.

It can be, and it would be a fair question. But that's not what was asked.

Don't try to move the goal posts and I won't have to twist.
