If she really cared about these issues and this part of her constituency, she wouldn’t have waited until the last minute to announce these policy goals. It’s blatant pandering, tone-deaf, and comes off as a desperate Hail Mary. And this guy you’re calling “ignorant” lives in a deep blue state, supported Bernie Sanders in 2016, generally prefers socially liberal policies and economic fairness, and sees right through this for what it is.

bernie would’ve won if the dems supported him, but the democrats really fucked up by not supporting him. americans were much less radicalized and were closer to their good-natured-ness back then. you’re painting it as pandering…but it’s just campaigning. lots of stuff has to come out…one by one—not all at once in the beginning. harris’ whole candidacy is last minute. better her than biden. it is indeed absurd and willfully ignorant to suggest or imply that trump is the better candidate who cares about people at all. trump absolutely does not care about america or americans. i’m not exaggerating it. i think if you placed yourself in a more quite and sincere frame of mind you would see things more realistically and from a humanitarian point of view. trump is a monstrous imbecile. 🙏🥲

You must think because I am disappointed by the joke that is the Democratic Party and think Harris is grasping at straws to save her campaign I am somehow a Trump supporter, when in reality I am disgusted that these are the only choices we have to vote for in this election. Point to where I’ve ever said what you are suggesting I did.

you did not explicitly say you support trump. it’s just that that’s what you totally ~imply~ by your stance of calling harris fake & a panderer… misinformation, if you will...because she’s not lying, not grasping at straws to “save” her campaign. she’s just campaigning. she’s trying to let people know her thoughts—that she’s thinking about how to help people as president. by not calling out trump instead for his actual and real lies, criminality, grifting, raping of women & girls, treason, etc., etc., it really does seem like you have no problem w trump and in fact support him. you have people in your comments who clearly think the same and who think you’re supporting trump too. trump is an ~infinitely worse~ person in every single aspect, but you are posting for all to see that harris is a joke for writing about how she wants to help. it’s a huge stretch to simply assert from thin air that she doesn’t care. every president is up against lots of powerful opposing forces, but i think she will do everything in her power to do what she possibly can. (i bet if the right people spoke to her, she could be properly educated on bitcoin and be convinced…and in turn start to convince a whole lotta other people in that world too—some very powerful people.) trump is a shitcoiner. he sells trump branded bibles. have you ever heard him talk about caring for the elderly? caring about middle class families to buy their first home? caring about regular americans’ opportunities or actual daily lives & living?a —— no. never. a couple days ago, yet again, trump did something totally ridiculous & fucked up—bussing people in to his rally but not bussing them out, leaving them stranded. the democrats have been messed up in many ways for a while, but it’s much better to have harris. she’s better compared to trump. so many republicans hate trump too. trump cares for no one and thinks about nothing besides himself and his fragile ego. trump is a supremely horrible creature. a true monstrosity. 🙏…they are NOT AT ALL AT THE SAME LEVEL OF BEING WORTHY OR UNWORTHY OF RIDICULE. so yes, it’s rather strange to see anyone try to call out harris the way you did then post another image of her with that pretend quote. it is thoroughly disappointing to see someone (you, who’s obviously a swell fellow, a much, much better, way more rational person than what your harris posts would show) go and try to score internet points with intentionally distorted framing.

it’s sad to see where we are all at these days. there’s definitely more that needs fixing than not. i deeply appreciate your leadership & support of bitcoin. your bitcoin presence in my nostr feed is very welcome too. you honestly seem like a really great person all around and many people follow and learn from you. but for certain, trump is THE WORST EVER . ✨🙏
