@feld because they don't actually care about that, and they are hypocrites in addition to liars in addition to still being terrible people.
I've been enjoying the Twitter discourse on how awful the LA Times is for not endorsing Harris because the owner said that endorsing a candidate funding the murder of gazan children was a bright line they weren't going to cross.
@feld Harris literally touting the endorsement someone democrats (and much of the rest of the world) considered a war criminal, anyone that flips on that is at least as deplorable as being as anti trans rights as a democrat from eight years ago.
> Harris literally touting the endorsement (Cheney)
So in an election, if someone you disagree with on most things wants to support you because they disagree with the other candidates, you're supposed to do what exactly? Tell those voters to not vote for you because the guy they listen to is a bad person?
like there's no reason some 70 year old cunt has to voooot for harris because they both have cunts and neither can get knocked up and have an abortion
lets not dress it up, people who are in for harris are straight up hateful and its a coalition of hate they hate the idea of not killing babies they hate straight men they hate white culture they hate daddy figures and they're only supporting her because she's got a vagina and in some cases because its brown, that's it
these people dont stand on principle or policy, its pure tribalism for the gayest reasons yet they act like the most intelligent group when they're just dullard snobs
Yeah..... I don't remember biden inviting richard spencer on stage with him to address voters just to demonstrate his broad coalition of support, and it's wierd you seem to be implying he should have.
@nicholas@sun one of these is a political figure that America has elected before and normal Americans do not immediately think "war criminal!". Nobody in my hometown that voted for Bush/Cheney would think that way either.
Richard Spencer is a fucking nazi troll.
The goalposts weren't moved; you think these people have equal professional reputations but they don't.
@feld@nicholas According to many democrats he was not elected in 2000. Flipping like this is why people justifiably hate politicians.I think his point was that you don't have to accept the endorsement of blood-soaked demons. You can just not comment on it.
@sun@nicholas Remember they tried to sink Biden for liking Cheney and it didn't hurt him at all. A ton of media figures acted like it was the end of the world and then they kissed his feet for 4 years lol
you think these people have equal professional reputations
Sperging over positions and "professional reputation" after getting caught out on your original argument is prima facia 'moving the goalposts'. Resorting to obtuse accusations of isms will not salvage your fallacy. So just take your L like a man, man.
And by the way, yes dick spencer's professional reputation is as a nazi troll; dick cheney's professional reputation is lying a nation into 2½ decades and counting of forever war, and being responsible for the deaths of over a million civilians for no better reason than to enrich himself and his friends. One of these things is objectively several orders of magnitude worse than the other.
