[QUOTE="Frank Underwood, post: 411364, member: 35"] I agree he's unfit to be president, which is precisely why I'm not voting for him. I've never defended his [I]actions[/I], but I still believe in discerning fact from fiction and hyperbole. Harris supports funding the Ukraine War and Israel's genocide in Gaza, both of which are evil by my moral code. Personally, I find that to be worse than falsifying documents regarding hush money payments to a porn star. I'm not defending Trump for committing a crime, but supporting a genocide is far worse by my standards. Trump supports the genocide in Gaza too, and I've certainly never defended him for that. They're both just too vile for me to vote for. As George Carlin said, we only have the illusion of choice. Democracy and decency are on the ballot, but they don't exist in either of the two mainstream parties. That's why the Dems denied voters the right to choose their nominee. They act like people owe them their vote, and they work hard trying to discredit third parties. They even try to get them kicked off the ballot. The intent of Russia-gate was to make Trump's presidency appear illegitimate and undemocratic. Both parties undermine democracy when they're on the losing side, and they only champion it when they win. Objective facts are not meant to be taken as a defense of Trump. Trump shares in the responsibility of overturning Roe v. Wade, but the fact remains he didn't do so directly. The only reason I brought it up in this thread is because it was mentioned that Vance referred to Biden's presidency as "the Harris Administration." I was pointing out that it's a campaign tactic both sides are engaging in to emphasize their opponents' flaws. Harris is tied to Biden's decisions the same way that Trump is tied to rulings made by SCOTUS. [/QUOTE]
