    Option 1 - seasoned government professional who can navigate politics with diplomacy

    Option 2 - an old man who bankrupted a 4 _ casinos_ and has ties to russia, has zero political experience. edit - thanks everyone - traitor, felon, rapist, attempted a coup to overthrow the government, ex president consistently considered one of the worst terms america has seen.

    How is this difficult, america

            I don’t like Harris much, but I don’t like prosecutors.

            Still hope she wins, because I like fascists even less

              I’ve commented on this elsewhere - as far as prosecutors go, she’s been pretty progressive (drug cases aside, which I take issue with), focusing on jail time for violent offenders, and trying to avoid jail time for the non violent offenses. Her record, as well as the back on track program from her time as AG, speak to that well.

              So even in terms of prosecutors (definitely not my favorite group as well, for a variety of reasons), her approach was very progressive, and generically speaking pretty good in my book.

      Those casinos were in Atlantic City. He also lost tens of millions of dollars on one of the most famous and prestigious hotels in New York City. He lost money trying to sell mail-order steaks and whiskey in the United States. He also lost money trying to operate a university during the biggest education bubble in history. He also stole classified documents, ‘lost’ them, and got huge numbers of foreign assets killed. He openly advocates for ending democracy. And as the cherry on top of that shit sandwich, brags about sexually battering women.

      Article: People are abandoning Trump for Harris.

      Democrats: Oh my god, what is WRONG with you people?!

      He does have political experience actually. Still has a huge ass following base where he can spout the most insane shit and they’ll still follow him. That’s why he’s so dangerous.
