Roan’s conservative critics are a lost cause—she was never going to win them over, not by dressing up as the Statue of Liberty at this summer’s Gov Ball in New York, smoking a giant fake joint, and screaming about how she had no plans to accept an invitation to the White House. But now, there are plenty of Harris voters and liberals who are angry with her perfectly reasonable but slightly wrinkled position that no government, right now, deserves her loud championship.

There is the crux of it. This is also probably why I found this post downvoted. Anyone pointing out the "both sides bad" argument isn't very popular on Lemmy.

Hopefully Harris wins this so we can permit a more nuanced discussion of the government and how it is run. Rather than shouting down anything that might remotely strengthen Trump.

Bruh good luck, they're going to use Trump as a permanent existential crisis to drum up votes until he either dies or wins again disqualifying him from winning any further. If you could find a way to make Trump live forever but never win again this would just be life until time stops. Even if we get rid of him, every single oppositional candidate to the Ds is now "the next Trump" in perpetuity. They've found their trump card (pun very intended) and they'll use it as long as it keeps working to shield them from any and all criticisms.

Trump is the Dems biggest fundraiser. There will always be another "Trump".
