They are making it clear: announce your support for Harris, get harassed.

    Sure, but

    1. She didn’t endorse Harris

    2. If she did endorse Trump, the harassment would have been a magnitude less. Individuals will be individuals, but the leaders of one group are denouncing harassment and violence while the leaders of the other group are inciting it.

      I get the logic of this, but you feel pretty confident that it’s true. Do you have the numbers to back this up? I believe it is true, but that’s not based on any actual evidence.

        Sorry if it wasn’t clear, maybe I should have said, “I feel the harassment would have been a magnitude less.” The rest is pretty provable, in that Drumpf & Co. have been spewing hate and even threatening violence in some cases, while Democrats have general spoken up against violence.

          Funny that you pointed out that my questioning of what you claimed was valid, but I was showered with downvotes.

          Amazing.

              Confirmation bias is a hell of a drug; I always question whether I simply want something to be true or whether I have the evidence that it is true.

              It’s scary that self reflection is viewed as bad faith.

          Not at all. There are plenty of evil “independents” and “centrists”. But let’s not kid ourselves, there are evil Democrats too.

          Still, I get your sentiment.

          I’m racking my brain trying to come up with what life situation would possibly lead someone to a position so profoundly detached from reality.
