Hoping this can be a way to make people think more critically about their choice for US President, maybe even bring opposing sides together to fix the problems we ALL face.

So if you support Trump try to list 3 things you dislike about him and 3 things you like about Harris. Please keep answers serious. Plenty of other places on Lemmy for you to post snappy putdowns.

My answers in a reply.

    He’s genuinely himself. Even if he contradicts himself I think it all comes from his own head and he’s not taking the standard approach of rehearsing speeches ad nauseum and censoring himself because of what some focus group said.

    That is stupid when the person being themselves is a piece of shit. Do you think Hitler being his genuine self is a positive?

    He did come out in support of banning bump stocks.

    He was also in favor of gun proliferation and he contradicted his opposition to bump stocks because his genuine self is trying to play both sides.

    Despite personal views on COVID he did generally support the emergency actions necessary in a pandemic scenario.

    He also constantly undermined them by saying covid was a hoax and telling people they didn’t need to wear masks or be vaccinated.

    Your three things are all stupid and you are praising him for being a terrible person.

      Maybe it’s a doomed experiment but I think it’s possible to praise an act but not praise the actor. I’m hoping small concessions can lead to common ground.

      I’ll actually amend my first bullet though since I believe Trump is a genuine liar (which is contradictory) and say instead I applaud that he committed us to leaving Afghanistan.
