I would just like to add one thing. There has been a developing pattern now from people on the Right that those of us are not paying attention, or that we see Harris as a "queen" or a "leader." The majority of posters I have seen on this board who will be voting for Harris have both lobbed criticism at her and/or have called out her weak points. The majority of us are voting for "bad" over "much, much worse" for reasons that have been enumerated constantly.
Harris indicated that DeSantis is selfish, which I think is what Peen is alluding to. That was stupid on her part. Is she likely doing it for political gain, hell yes. But DeSantis, who claims he doesn't have any time to talk to her, has time to go on Fox News to talk about it? Politics has been integrated into everything, including these hurricanes, and it's beyond shameful. Harris should not have gone on the attack whatsoever, though. That was awful. If she had done something like Biden did and just say "He's not picking up the phone. This is a problem" then fine, but she didn't do that.
I'm going to go a little harder in the paint now. Unfortunately what I think we are seeing is a projection. When it was called out that Trump was LYING about FEMA and lying about Helene, to the point where several REPUBLICAN governors had to counter his misinformation, we heard crickets on this board from the Right. And we will hear more crickets after I post this. We stop hearing crickets the moment Harris does anything and then she is referred to as a "bimbo." How can we be that adamant about calling one person out and not the other?? How do people not see this is the vicious cycle that created the horrid political situation we currently find ourselves in??
Well, I think it's because - especially among the older generations - there has been a reinforcement that we will find justification in the "R" or the "D" after a candidates name, regardless of who the person is, or how blatantly horrible they are. It's permeating to the younger generations, too, so I don't know how to get off the merry-go-round of misery.
