I appreciate you coming here seeking honest discourse. I think a lot of the antagonism you're receiving is based on your dismissal of Harris based on nebulous vibes and feelings. Is there something about her policy or platform you disagreed with? is there something that appeals to you about the Trump/GOP platform?
TBH, a lot of the hate towards the Dems on a national level are based on untruths, intentional misinterpretations, and stereotypes. I've mentioned this on other threads, but take a look at the legislation passed every year in California - worker protections, improving access to healthcare for all, union protections, protecting LGTBQ, sensible gun legislation, women's reproductive freedom, etc. Take a look at Harris's platform in 2024. Compare that to what's happening in Texas, other GOP states, and Project 2025 (which at this point is obviously being implemented.) But if you take a passing look at the national media, you'd think that all they do out there is make Furries the official state animal, and give "illegals" checks every month. When you compare the two, which one is more appealing to you?
We need to stop voting or siding with parties/candidates based on vibes and gut feelings. Read and compare the legislation put forward by candidates. Study their policy positions. It doesn't take that much time. When you see GOP politicians whose platforms solely involve things like "making America more free, protecting our God given rights, and fighting for the constitution, ask yourself why they are unable to articulate any tangible policy. The answer is simple - their policies are unpopular with the majority of Americans. That's not an opinion - polling overwhelmingly supports this. So they deal in platitudes and feel-good slogans that, in a vacuum, are difficult to criticize.
If one is a voting for the GOP these days, it really only makes sense if you fall into one of the below categories: 1) Top .01% and/or 2) believe America was a better place when their was both intentional or de facto discrimination against Blacks, women, and immigrants.
And that's not even considering the current administration who just yesterday declared that Americans in the largest cities are the "enemy from within" and that they will be gleefully sending American troops into those cities to teach them a lesson. You should be able to see why when someone stands in the middle while this is happening, they are, at best, mocked, and more typically, reviled.
