    Kamala’s a very traditional candidate, if we’re talking about her record. Trump, on the other hand, is the only President in US history to’ve never held public office or served in the military before being elected. Very non-traditional.

      It’s the left who is dividing us by having the R’s run a convicted felon! I don’t understand how anybody doesn’t understand this !!

      If the voters that mattered bothered to look at records, there would be no Trumpers. Sadly, I feel it has to be shoved into their face in the most traditionally stereotypical matter. Harris might seem to be doing good, but here is how good Hillary was doing before she lost to Trump: https://edition.cnn.com/2016/10/23/politics/hillary-clinton-donald-trump-presidential-polls/index.html

      The problem isn’t on the left, it’s on a weighted and loaded electoral system that favors those most likely to be susceptible to misinformation.

      Anyway, since it’s beside the point as Harris seems pretty set, I just hope it does not play out like Hillary versus Clinton and hope that she gets elected. This times are different, but so is the degree to which people have bubbled themselves within their social networks and the most able to discern it are those who own them, who are basically in the same league as Trump and quite capable of shoving money and influence into them.
