    why? we all know what it would be like

    Harris: restrictive immigration policies, no upping the federal minimum wage to a livable wage, less workers’ rights, less women’s rights, more fracking/oil and blames all the Democrat party’s shortcomings on the Republicans

    Trump: restrictive immigration policies, no upping the federal minimum wage to a livable wage, less workers’ rights, less women’s rights, more fracking/oil and blames all the Republican party’s shortcomings on the Democrats

      why?

      Literally just for the entertainment value.

      Want to watch Based Warrior Queen Girl Boss Brat Summer Harris completely decimate the Soy Broke Fat Old Nobody-Likes-You-Anymore Trump on TV while I eat my Hillary Can Still Win branded popcorn.

      Meanwhile, next door, my neighbor can watch the Uber King MAGA Supersoldier Trump utterly squash the Woke Fake Lame Ugly Second-Hand-Joe-Biden Harris on TV while he drinks his Black Rifle Coffee.

      Everybody has a cool fun time and then we all go out in a couple of weeks to complain about how third parties caused their favorite candidate to lose.

        the people who are directly affected by the laws and policies of the Democrats/Republicans in their daily lives are not having a cool fun time with the bread and circuses

      I don’t remember any restrictive women’s right positions for Harris. She’s strongly for legalizing abortion. Maybe you can enlighten me?

        yes, she has given strong lip service to women’s rights, but the Democrats have always done that with everything

        lip service with no plans or intent

          I don’t disagree about her disappointing stance on immigration but you’re smoking something if you don’t think she’s going to fight for women’s reproductive autonomy.

            disappointing stance? it is the exact same response as Trump

            strictly controlled closed borders with no clear path to citizenship

          You would think 50 years of lip service about women’s rights might convince people they are not telling the truth in their intentions.

      Harris wants to raise the minimum wage

      The federal minimum wage has not increased from $7.25 per hour since 2009.

      On the campaign trail, Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris has said that needs to change.

      https://www.cnbc.com/2024/08/16/federal-minimum-wage-has-been-7point25-for-15-years-how-that-may-change.html

      Harris supports the PRO act to help union’s ability to organize in “right to work” states. It would stop companies from being able to hold mandatory anti-union meetings. It would allow the national labor relation board to directly issue fines for labor law violations and issue compensation to employees. And more

      Harris supports killing the filibuster to get abortion protections codified

      https://www.wpr.org/news/kamala-harris-presidential-campaign-vice-president-housing-affordability-pfas-pollution-wpr-interview

      Harris is for sure not perfect, but claiming the two are exactly the same is just not true
