Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

So I was correct in guessing what you wanted her to say? And my entire reply was about the probable outcome of that.
I was referring to centrist as those not strongly associated with either party. I despise the term "independents" as I think they are anything but. Basically the folks who see the Cheney endorsement and think "Maybe I can vote for Harris after all?" The 55 to 75 year olds who turn out in droves every election. And because of that, you need to get as many of them voting for you as possible to win.
Obviously you have no interest in discussing this rationally. Especially considering you then implied my top choice for US president would've been Netanyahu.
I laid out what I think would happen if Harris did what you wanted. You chose not to refute any of that. Or more likely - you couldn't.
So, want to try again or just throw more insults my way?
I applaud the effort, friend.. And I think it's good to continue having this discussion over and over and over, if only so others may see it and perhaps be swayed.
But... at some point in a thread, it's just not worth the time anymore. I actually believe it's a tactic, sort of like those scam-baiters who keep spam callers busy for as long as possible so as to prevent them from scamming others, even if just for an hour. They know how to push our buttons, and they want us to waste time and effort on a thoughtful reply knowing full well that they probably won't even read it...
But again, jokes on them, because the comments aren't for them.
You were not, but being incorrect in favor of Netanyahu and his genocide is basically what you do.
My position was:
Yours was:
I guess the only way you can falsely declare victory is if you lie about my position. That's fine. You and the straw version of me you've constructed can have fun in my absence.
Dude, do you not know that pretty much ALL the aid we provide Israel is military aid?! Do you think we're sending them fruit baskets?

I hadn't realized that you were that ignorant about such an evidently passionately held belief.
Need some more straw?
