Seriously, what the f*** is keeping Donald Trump in this presidential race? - eviltoast

Kamala Harris running a damn near flawless campaign, with just a month 1/2 of campaigning. She’s been holding rallies nonstop with Tim Walz & not making her talking points about her race or gender like Hillary. She’s offering expanded healthcare, reinvestments back into public housing, wants to take on corporate greed, protect reproductive rights and chose a pro labor, pro education running mate.

Yet, she’s either barely leading or ties in most polls with a guy that:

Is a convicted felon.

Liable Sexual Predator.

Gets sentenced in November.

Has several more pending cases.

Increased Drone Strikes by 300%. (Joe Biden dosent use drones anymore).

Illegally killed an Iranian General unprovoked with a missle strike.

Increased tensions in Israel/Palestine with the Abraham Accords.

Wants war with Mexico (his words).

Tried to coup Venezuela.

Will bend the knee for Netanyahu’s potential war with Iran.

Lowered the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% (lowest in history).

Obvious tax cuts for the rich.

Told people to drink bleach during the pandemic.

Is the main driving force for America’s current division.

Constantly attacks marginalized groups.

Tried to steal the 2020 election (Find Me 11,000 votes in GA).

Did Fake Elector Slates to pressure Mike Pence to not certify the 2020 election.

Caused a riot on the capitol that lead to his OWN supporters dying.

Just got washed by Harris in the last debate, was completely unprepared on anything but immigration (“I have concepts of a plan”).

And so much more. So seriously what is it? Is it just the attraction to bigotry/racism? Is it to end “wokeness”. Is it because Kamala is a woman of color? You can’t use the both sides argument like Hilary or Biden, Kamala is the obvious better choice. Could you imagine if Kamala had as much baggage as Trump? The media would lose their minds.

Seriously, how the f*** is this guy still in the race?

            I’m sad for people in FL. So much misinformation and that swirl is nonstop. Ukraine should just take over Russia and then we only need to worry about China.

              that would be very funny i’m not sure what the global implications are of ukraine taking over russia, but i’m certainly not going to stop them from trying lol.

                It would be crazy. Syria, Iran and Venezuela depend heavily on Russia. Those regions would become more unstable, if that is even possible.

                China would now border Ukraine and China would treat Ukraine as a threat since they have close ties to the west.

                Russia has a UN seat. Would Ukraine just inherit it? If not then there would be some tensions.

                This is just what’s on top of my head. Probably more complexities.

                  yeah that would be interesting. China and the UN seats are probably going to be the most interesting consequences.

                  I feel like ukraine would absolutely pull a peace treaty with china, to some extent. The US does a lot of trade, so while they’re bordered, i don’t think it would be super significant, as long as they had a deal worked out. Unless china started fighting with russia lol.

                  global trade would absolutely be fucked as well. Oil prices would be wacky, grain would be wacky, etc…
