    Let’s say she’s hypothetically not black…

    Nothing changes at all. She’s still a better candidate. She’s not a criminal and she could lie 100 times a day and still be well below Trumps lie quota

    Trump is so unbelievably bad I don’t think the right wing realises the extent they would need to go to, to discredit her to make Trump seem better.

    Stupid small jabs like this change nothing. They could win if they dumped Trump. But they won’t…

    Trump identifies as a successful businessman which is a bigger lie. Successful criminal yeah

    That being said, she’s obviously black. Maybe he should stick to lies which aren’t visually obvious (like claim she’s stupid, which isn’t true either)

      But if she is black, they can call her a DEI candidate. And if she’s not black, they can call her a liar. Both insults are wrong, but they need to have a consistent message. So that’s probably why they’re so obsessed with race. That and they’re racist.

        It’s possible that staring at Trump’s orange complexion all day has messed up the white balance in their eyes too.

        It’s hilarious that their first thought though is that they should use abuse to test their race. That’s definitely normal behavior…

        I’m white, but I’m not walking around calling people “crackers”. And, I have black mates who I have NEVER heard say the N-word. In fact, thinking about it, the black people I know barely swear at all

        Lol it just occurred to me that maybe they are trying to say she isn’t black because they don’t understand what the opposite of racism is and think that it must mean worship of the races they hate.

      I would disagree with your statement they would win if they dump Trump, trump is the only way they win, the whole machine is built around him. Without him they fall flat. With him, they have a chance of winning, and still could, we can’t pretend like that’s not the case unless we want to repeat 2016

        I’m no longer sure actually. A lot of them are likely just voting right wing…

        It’s hard to know though. Wasn’t Tim Walz and kamala polling badly too in comparison to the other presidential options? Now they’re both rockstars, and there was a huge swing that happened the moment Biden was replaced

        Sorry, I didn’t neccessarily mean the right wing would win, simply that I suspect another candidate for the right wing could possibly produce a swing again.

        Their policies still suck, but he doesn’t have many people defending him
