This guy is toe-to-toe with Kamala in polls. How fucking insane.

He has said the sickest shit I've ever heard from a presidential candidate, yet, the reporting is easy beyond belief with Trump and media tries to reframe any Harris positive with passive language until it sounds like a problem.

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 49 points 1 week ago (2 children)

They (media) are probably afraid that if Harris is elected, the news will become mundane and boring, unlike Trump, and their readership (and thus revenue) will drop.

If only it were so simple. The problem is so multifaceted, that there are probably more than two handfuls of contributors to the problem.

[–] Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I bet it all links back to a handful of people though...

Rupert the walking angry corpse Murdock sits at that table

The media has been beat up for decades as too liberal. Now, simply reporting the truth will make the accusations of bias stick even harder in conservative minds.

Pretty fucking mess we're in, isn't it?

[–] BlemboTheThird@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 week ago

They will make those accusation no matter what and they will stick just the same regardless. In fact, giving conservative politicians an easier go just makes it more likely for regular people to get caught up in the bullshit. Media that uses kid gloves for extreme right politicians actually does it because they are also on the right.

Vanessa Guillen’s sister still voted for Trump. That’s how insane they are

[–] ape_arms@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

Nobody who is undecided or voting for Trump reads the Atlantic. It's like screaming into the void.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago

There are a lot of racists in this country. They never went away, really... They just got shamed into (mostly) silence. Trump makes them feel brave again, because he's just like them.

[–] Prandom_returns@lemm.ee 6 points 1 week ago

The morons pay taxes and have to be represented as well... It just sucks, that, apparently, it's ~50% of the US.

[–] Cold_Brew_Enema@lemmy.world -3 points 1 week ago (4 children)

It fucking sucks, but i think he is going to win. Half of this country is so fucking stupid, we deserve a horrible piece of shit for a president.

I don't deserve it. You don't deserve it.

people give trump such a big platform his outreach is incomparable.

American politics are just sports for some people and "my team" will win no matter what because the other team "the libs" will lose! I gain satisfaction from people "losing"

[–] gerbler@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You sure as shit better not stay home on election day with that attitude.

[–] Cold_Brew_Enema@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

I'm voting blue first thing in the morning

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I especially don’t see how roe v wade doesn’t give a solid 51% against him everywhere

[–] phdepressed@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

Because a lot of people don't care until it impacts them, because they're a special rainbow and everyone else is the problem or not relevant in their eyes.
