For weeks now I’ve heard Republican pundits repeat these same points ad nauseum:
- Harris sucks because she won’t give any interviews to the press
- As opposed to Trump’s interviews are that incoherent word salad at best
- Harris sucks because she doesn’t have any policy positions
- As opposed to Trump’s policy positions of “drill drill drill”, “deport brown people”, and “I’m angry”
- Harris sucks because inflation
- As opposed to Trump fucking up COVID response so badly it destroyed the economy, never mind much of the inflation today is artificial corporate greed
- Harris sucks because she failed to fix immigration
- As opposed to Trump who did little to fix immigration during his time in office even when R’s had control of the House, Senate, and White House. Trump also torpedoed legisliation that would have fixed several aspects of immigration.
- Harris sucks because everything Biden did they don’t like is her fault
- Conveniently, the VP is suddenly Super Important when they want to tie her to things they don’t like. Otherwise it’s a joke.
- Harris sucks because she’ll tax everybody into oblivion
- As opposed to Trump adding trillions to the defecit with his tax cuts for rich people?
- Harris sucks because the Afghanistan withdrawl was bad
- Never mind she wasn’t president, or that Trump negotiated the withdrawl, or that Trump was trying to get the Taliban to come to Camp David on 9/11.
- Harris sucks because her campaign is based on vibes rather than policy
- As opposed to hate, anger, and rage?
- Harris sucks because she’s a California liberal
- As opposed to a Florida facist?
- Harris sucks because she has changed some positions from 6 years ago
- As opposed to Trump who flip flops on a national abortion ban on a daily basis? He’s never had a coherent policy position on anything other than whatever suits the moment.
Every damn day.
I’m glad polls seem to show that all these Concerns from the pundits are largely meaningless to most people.
